Okay, that Murphy's Law 17 is brutal. Interesting roommate in Grabby, plus interesting way to wake her up. Ouch, didn't get the mental package, no wonder Grabby pushes herself like she does. ADHD meds don't work and neither does coffee, that sucks. Cheat treats and prank goodies, she is definitely not a normal girl. Have a feeling this courier job on and off campus is going to get her in trouble though.
Sneaking around Delarose and the Payola Platoon, oh boy, asking for trouble right there. Hammocks in the dayroom, nice idea for Diamondback to 'steal' from the Kimbas. Yikes, telling Tansy, Hamper, and Damper to kill themselves, back in March so before Tansy's major turnaround. Mal asking her to knock over a Naval Base to get him radioactive isotopes, that boy just can't resist.
Getting tools for Lanie, what would she need that she can't get here at Whateley or in the Workshop, I wonder. In trouble at least 3 times a week, that girl just is a thrill junkie. What, the Whateley store doesn't have moonpies, mineral oil [the good stuff], or parts better than you could get at Home Depot, they need to update their stock. Hitting Kodiak like that, dang, Murphy just didn't like how he treated Lanie at the time.
Oh boy, Vamp asking Murphy for something. Needs money for clothes from Cecilia's, this is going to lead to more trouble. Vamp can't pull one over on her, all this because Vamp wants to be a fixer. Nice reference with She-Hulk. Murphy hard to read, yeah, bet even some of the receptive empaths have a problem with her sometimes. Strawberry swirl Twinkie things, hard to find those now.
Dang, she can be stealthy and professional as well. ADHD and addictive personality, dang, if it wasn't for not burying herself into video games she would be a lot like my brother. Gearhead, wonder what she has planned for that Jeep Wrangler. Axles and rims that could be used as the drive shaft and drive wheels of an M-1 Abrams, good grief. Oh boy, Lanie and Wyatt showing up and making out with Murphy nearby.
"How could I get tired of that? Pain in the ass is my gender identity!"
Bwahahaha. Dang, she is one of the few people we know who can stand up to Wyatt like that. Jericho and Jobe working on a project together, this is major, took the threat of Dr. Reaper to do it. News of what the Outcasts went through in Darwin against Dr. Reaper and his forces, yeah, most people would be shocked they are still even a little sane after that.
Reconstructed a Blade-wheel, are they nuts! I would have smashed it as well. And inducting Jericho into the Alphas can wait, they went through hell, that is going to take a lot to recover from.
Elaine smirked. "You think I would put up with a guy who couldn't admit he might be wrong or make a mistake once in a while?"
Ouch, having to remove and re-assemble the whole engine.
Looking to take her frustrations out on someone and knocked out by a blow to the back of the head, she is her own worst enemy. Don't you hate it when Murphy's Laws apply to you.
In the Whateley sewers, strapped to a table and shocked if she tries to use her powers to escape, this is very bad. Abducted Murphy and a Poe girl who isn't well liked, thinking they won't be missed for a while. Who has is the girl with the mechanically jittering voice? And the male is altering his voice as well, great. Constantly changing their voice, another problem. And they are using Vamp and trying to copy his BIT over to Murphy, not caring if it causes her to have a lethal burnout, sick creeps.
The woman hates Vamp and wants to see Vamp's face melted off, which won't happen, this is horrible. Just a job, not caring who they hurt with their experiments, ugh. Vamp helped Murphy to focus on the fact she didn't want to die, probably the only reason she survived the experiment.
The creeps just left them behind even after the experiment was done, electrocuting Murphy over and over. Forsythe is among those who find and rescue them, Delarose promising there will be hell to pay when they find who did this to Murphy and Vamp. Murphy conscious and able to tell Carson what she knew the creeps who abducted them had planned. Carson having to calm Joanne, telling her it was attempted murder and they would pay when caught.
Double whammy for Total Cellular Starvation from warper and regen powers. 70 lbs!?! That nearly killed her. Poor girl, wishing she never manifested as a mutant, at least no signs of burnout episode recovery. All her friends show up, Murphy telling Seraphim to not try and heal her, ornery girl that Murphy.
Grabby leading her back to their room, Hannah is a good friend to Murphy. Whoa, scaring Pucelle into not saying a word about Murphy, she can be scary and very protective of her friends. Tentacle massage, I could see people paying to have that to help with tense muscles. Hannah hugging her like a plush Pikachu as big as Murphy's torso, cute. A bit of mineral oil on sand, nice.
Diamond seemed cool, but she hung out with Jericho. That was a sign of insanity or hating your own eyes.
Waist length hair when she is in that shape, the weight alone must be torture right now. Wait, faster regeneration and the poke-holes discolored, uh oh, she picked up some of Vamp's BIT. Trying to think of who was involved with the kidnapping and experiment is going to drive her crazy if she doesn't stop.
When subtlety failed I started rapidly poking her yelling "Hannah Hannah Hannah!" like an annoying three year old sister. How do I know? I have one. Expect she's adorable, not annoying.
Getting Hannah's attention and seems what Sandra's learned over Christmas break can help at least some of the GSD kids out, nice.
Walking so she can zone out and daydream, sounds like me when I was younger. Oh shit, Truck ticking off Jimmy T by picking on a Thornie, goes to attack him, slammed him straight into Phobos, then Deimos reacts and they merge into Fury, oh shit. A nine-feet tall amalgamation of the twins, first slamming Truck through his PK field and back at Jimmy T hard enough to knock him on his ass, this is one of those worst case possible scenarios.
Mega-Death freaking out and trying to blast Fury, only for his attacks to reflect towards the Outcasts and nearly slice Razorback in half, yikes. All that in 20 seconds. Then Razorback comes charging in a fury, Generator trying to stop it with Kitty Compact but bite and tossed aside by Razorback, left on the ground not moving.
Most screaming and running, Fury is like a force of nature. Murphy pushes herself, gets Generator out of there and into a security officer's arms before charging back in, this has just gone full fubar. Aries drawing Razorback away, dang, guess you can't judge people until you see them in a crisis.
3 kids slashed and thrown by Fury, half-dozen people torn up and scattered across the quad. Anomaly actually gets Fury and Jimmy T apart, while Jericho and Caitlin circle Fury, Diamondback chanting. Murphy takes down Mega-Death, his random firing a threat and endangering himself as well. Burned hole in right hip and the wounds heal in seconds instead of an hour, smooth, snow-white skin where it healed. Oh boy, if this keep up Murphy is going to look more and more like Vamp.
Ouch, her warping meeting Fury's and being flung like that, she is just getting banged up left and right. Brick-wrecking tricks of her own by weathering through a tough class. Jericho's armor torn up but the octagon shield untouched, this thing is the definition of indestructible. Ouch, able to cut through a PK field, poor Anomaly. Two spatial shocks in a row like that, if she didn't have increased regeneration this could have been the end of Murphy.
Dang, it actually knocked the twins out, as they split apart, that is incredible power. Ouch, Razorback tearing her up and Jericho having to use a sonic grenade to knock him out, plus Murphy. Okay, that has to be peak regen 5, possible even 6 that Murphy is showing now. Truck in critical condition, Stormwolf ripped up good, even Mule cut up, yikes, she is right it is a miracle no one died. Okay, Generator's wounds sounded worse than they actually were, good. Eldritch that cut up, the rest of the Outcasts banged up except Diamondback, just brutal.
Ah, good, Delarose understands why Murphy had to leave the scene. At least she was in the right place to explain everything that happened, Truck is going to be in trouble for starting the whole thing once he recovers. Hopefully nearly dying will have taught him a lesson he won't forget. Bizarre happenstance and unrelated events, that is Murphy, trouble magnet. 7th time she has rushed into a fight with someone who could have killed her, definitely has a hero complex.
First time Mrs. Carson finds out Murphy is in Mrs. Dennon's brick class. Spatial shocks, warp-twisting space when punching, slingshot space-warping, how to teleport something elsewhere by touch, good lord, she is incredibly dangerous with those tricks up her sleeve. Ah, taking the class so she can develop the mindset to treat everything like it matters right now.
Dang, hurt that bad in class that the fight with Fury was over quick and easy. Wins once every couple days, against bricks that is impressive. Giving Carson a migraine, lol, Murphy just can't be repressed. Hawthorne duty for the rest of the week and she is actually excited about it. She even finds sewer duty fun, okay, she is full blown bonkers.
Bwahahaha, tether and harnesses for the Junior High kids such as Dr. Heavy, Ember, TLW, and all the other younger kids, then let them into Dr. Heavy's anti-gravity field and haul them around campus like balloons, no wonder she and the kids love her having detention in Hawthorne. Messing with the campus-clics, even Lanie and Wyatt, by using Dr. Heavy's field while she is at it, if she ever turned super-villain I would pity the heroes and police who have to deal with her.
Ah, taking them to the Brick Gym, using the whole place like a bounce house, priceless. Ouch, poor Diz, still not able to play with the other kids. Playing with the kids like that, she is the perfect babysitter, if not the most responsible sometimes. Tire them out, them get them hopped up on sugar and soda before returning them to Tansy, oh boy. And switched to sewer duty for that last little stunt, ah well.
No! Not grading homework assignments for a week! Popped a dimensional bubble and tried to eat it, dimensional anomalies and instability like crack to her, dang. Lie and tell Carson she served her time, if they find her back down there say Dr. Quintain needs an assistant, ouch.
Uh oh, changes to how her body fills out, healing incredibly fast, snow-white skin replacing her regular skin whereever injured, ghost-white hair, definitely got Vamp's BIT, hope she didn't get his particular part she would hate with a passion. Plus it sounds like her probability warping powers are going into overdrive for some reason. She's figured out what it means, becoming an albino like Vamp, plus messed with her regen and warper powers.
She blames Jericho for unleashing Wondercute upon them, lol.
"You mean if I wore pink and bright colors?" Nacht looked like she wanted to hurl. "I think I'd disintegrate and kill everyone in the blast." Now I was tempted to watch and see if that could happen.
Uh oh, Generator has shifted her attention to Murphy now. Even says she has a magical girl costume, oh boy, Murphy knows how to prank.
"SHIMMERING APOCALYPSE WORLD-EATER PRINCESS!" The gleeful looks on the Wondercute girls turned to utter horror as I was engulfed by the energy of screaming souls as they congealed into blood-soaked, red power armor with spikey bits all over my body and an insignia of a planet being devoured by a pair of fanged jaws. Two massive axes with chainsaw blades were held outstretched and roared to unholy life as I gave a lunatic smile, my eyes bled and the world twisted to the power of chaos.
When she pulls a prank, she goes all in. Just dang with that costume.
And it backfires, Wondercute all think it is cute, Jade ask how she projected shadows with hard light. All of them asking questions, even Misty begging to have her own version made for her. She underestimated Wondercute and thus it lead to her downfall, heh.
Ouch, Nacht saying she is King Bonehead now, Bad Seeds all grading her, Jay-Arm saying a mangler with as bad luck as her should just give up on life, that is below the belt. Devise, she switches it out for another thing she found while rummaging around campus. Frames Jay-Arm for selling her the device, then slaps another in his hand, which he gets shocked when he pokes at the buttons.
A taser made by Bunny, she now thinks Nephandus sold it to Murphy, he is in trouble now. Nacht appearing right beside her, dang, knew she was quick and smart. Nice snarking back and forth between Murphy and Nacht, they could be friends if they could stand each other. Comparing her to Tansy at that point, ouch, that is harsh. Watching Bunny strangle Nephandus and wishing she would do permanent damage, these two are more alike than they know.
Dang, the back and forth between these two, they could be tv show host. Cheese ratted her out about offering $50 to the first person to give her a pound of poison oak and a blender, Murphy is brutal with her pranks. A room filled with snow, good lord, they need to give Murphy things to keep her from getting bored. *having to hold sides from laughing so hard* Man, two masters of snark dueling each other. Man, surprised Nacht and Murphy aren't friends, they are so much alike it is scary.
Bleached white Jericho's outfit with an item, Wondercute just can't help but mess with him.
"Trekkies are a heretical cult."
She is lucky they are friends, otherwise more than a thwat to the back of the head would have happened. She gave Renae a thermos of triple-brewed devisor coffee, Murphy is completely insane!
And they are worried about her changing skin on the areas where she has been hurt and healed. Waking up early as well, good friends notice these things and Murphy isn't going to pull the wool over their eyes. Forcing her to go to Doyle for a check-up, the thing she has been fearing. Ooo, threat of Delarose is she tries to run for it, Lanie is playing hardball.
Ouch, no wonder she has such a fear of going to doctor's offices. Wait, how can she match Lanie and keep her from dragging her, guessing she got Vamp's exemplar package as well. Maggie loves to tease Jo, saying she never intended to imply she is rational. Never being tight with someone like Lanie and Maggie are, now that hurts. If people didn't care about her, they wouldn't be doing all the tests to figure out what is going on with Murphy.
At least Murphy can admit she is a weirdo and probably batshit crazy, proves she isn't insane. Ophelia doing the physical exam, good, need someone with her experience for this. Face subtly changed, physically fit, everything up on the physical tests. Less conscious control over her probability mangling, ouch, plus increased intensity. Regen now through the roof, channeler animating anything dead and having it follow her around, yikes. Imperfect copy of Vamp's BIT, so they don't know if she will get anything else from Vamp, talk about stress.
No burnout, even regen 7s show signs of damage or re-mapping and wiping sections of the brain when burnout happens, yikes. All these details about high level regenerators, they have their own things to fear from burnouts, scary. Ah, regen-6 now. All those fears due to her powers and being a mutant, rarely show that side of being a mutant and nice to learn more about it.
Hyping up junior high and grade-school kids on candy before handing them off to Tansy, hitting her with snowballs, Murphy has her own ways of dealing with fear and stress. And messing with Hamper and Damper as well, oh boy, she is on a roll.
Brick 101 class, Lillian Dennon having a scary presence, yeah, she is the kind of person you don't mess with. All the Outcast in this class except Razorback, oh boy, it is a wonder she wasn't in Doyle every day before now. Begging not to be put against Caitlin, you could be an Exemplar 7, Regen 6, PK Superman 6 and still be afraid to go up against her. Monica gets Murphy giggling too much to fight back with what she says, hehehe, sounds funny.
Eldritch against Anomaly, yikes. Black-hole gravity ball, good lord, six arms and no mercy once she pulls you in. Versus Trasher, tough fight with his powers, though just watching the other fights from the struts and gantries, sounds like fun. Dang, knew Caitlin was tough, but keeping Anomaly at bay and fighting back, how does she avoid the effects of that black-hole gravity ball.
Diamondback has Bronco wrapped up, Phobos claws can hurt anyone and arrest even Razorback's regeneration if she nailed him. Having to keep Thrasher's PK blades at bay while fighting in the struts and gantries, until distracted by Diamondback calling out Adrienne, Murphy hitting Thrasher right in the testicles, he hit Murphy in the shoulder with a PK blade. Cut off her arm and it regrows fast, dang.
Oh crap! Phobos going into burnout, having to shock her to get her heart going again, so Murphy teleports herself, Jericho, and Phobos to Doyle without thinking. NOOOOOO! Phobos died from fatal burnout, her sister Janine let out a wail of utter anguish. I knew she was gone but not like this, not like this.
Ouch, feeling that from Janine, an eye-opener but so painful for everyone who cared about at the same time. Parents trying to comfort Janine as they take her home to mourn her sister. No longer projecting terror, it took the death of her sister for that! Dam it! Going with the Outcasts, Deimos, and Ayla to confront Jobe and find out if he had anything to do with Adrienne's death.
What Jobe did might have caused the burnout. But what he did to them shouldn't have made their GSD worse, it should have been impossible, even the doctors at Doyle can verify this. Someone else did genetic work on the twins and left a marker, someone messed with the genes theorized to interact with the 'meta-gene complex in them, which is what most likely caused the fatal burnout. Self-destruct keyed to Phobos' genome to kill her if certain undesirable effects happened. Don't tell me them going Fury again triggered the burnout.
Alfred Dietrich did this, he is toast. Wulfen the Purifier, bigoted idiot, all because of the melanin acceleration triggered the timebomb. Deimos is going to have vengeance for the death of her sister, pity those who try and stop her. Recommended action to disable the failsafes in Deimos' DNA, if only he could have figured it out sooner, they might have been able to save Phobos. When the Outcast get their hands on Alfred Dietrich and Wulfen the Purifier, they will be given no mercy.
Boy, it is like Nate and Murphy like to snark at each other. Dang, cut her hair shoulder length and burned the cut-off stuff to make sure the mages can't get it. Hehehe, Vamp telling Nacht about getting a hug from her guardian and smiling. Glaring at Tansy and hitting her with a teleported snowball, oh boy. Dang, Tansy just sighed and walked off, I forget when the incident was which started Tansy on her path of redemption.
Oh crap, the Lit Chicks fallout, Maggie thinking Grizzly is a demon of some sort, Lanie trying to defend herself and Grizzly. Oh crud, Maggie is acting like Wicked personality has taken over Lanie and had Grizzly bound to her, she has it all wrong and isn't listening to what Lanie has to say on the matter.
And Lanie goes bear mode, only for Murphy to smack her on the snout and tell her not cool, oh boy. She really hurt Lanie by doing that, and as Lanie leaves hurt Maggie opens her big mouth and ticks off Murphy, flipping the table and saying she should have let Lanie smack her. And she is right, they just all flip out on Lanie because of Maggie, not hearing her side or listening to anything but Maggie. I would have quit the Lit Chicks over this as well.
Dang, Erik Mahren's fiancé, six security guards, all dead due to Halloween incident. Heyoka, Apathy, and now Phobos, this is just so wrong. Ouch, Phobos memorial, just so painful. Erik Mahren remember with a bed of poison oak, strangely appropriate. Poor Caitlin, still hurting from the loss of Caitlyn. Seeing death as an inevitability, strange for someone so young to have such an outlook. Dang, she cares more than she wishes to admit, even to herself, staying behind to watch over the flowers like that.
A spiked rotten tear and a chainsaw blade going flying is how she got the scar on her face and change to her left eye, dang. Dyed her hair again thanks to her little sister. Hoping for a better year this time, mending the fence with Lanie, going over to Whitman and then Poe to find Lanie and make up. But finding her with Tansy, hugging before Tansy left, she felt betrayed by Lanie for having anything to do with Tansy. And she focused all her hate on her, thinking it won't be a good year, not realizing the kind of day she is going to have.
Ouch, just ouch. All that happening with Murphy, all those changes because of a couple of psychos experimenting on her and Vamp, fear of what else might change. Seeing Phobos like that and being there when she passed away. Then to come back from summer vacation and see Lanie with Tansy, not knowing what had been going on, how Tansy had changed, feeling betrayed, yikes. It is going to take a mountain of effort on multiple sides to have a chance of them mending that relationship now.
