October catch-all
WHO: Quentin Beck/Mysterio and open to all! With starters for Harley Quinn, David Alleyne & Loki.
WHERE: Various locations
WHEN: Over the month of October
WHAT: Various
WARNINGS: Probably grandstanding and egotistical arrogance. Possibly manipulation, violence, emotional abuse.
Open to all!
A. Superhero sighting
Around the Porter cities, Mysterio could be seen in full flight, soaring effortlessly through the air, burgundy cloak flapping in the wind and leaving behind a trail of thick green smoke. His highly recognisable fishbowl helmet obscured his face but he could see perfectly well as he looked over the cities, watching out for crime. Yes, he was still playing the part of the hero - part time. Despite complaining to others that he didn't have time for the little heroic deeds he claimed were below him, he had decided that maybe there was some value after all on a show of public heroics, saving random people from petty crime. Maybe that's you!
Or maybe you can also fly or you're on the ground, curious about the flashy costumed hero above. Mysterio may at times alight and land nearby and greet onlookers with a wave of a gloved hand.
B. Motivational speaking
Beck was also still doing his job as Motivational Speaker, although he had cut down on how many times he'd meet up at a group talk, now making it twice a week. Come and hear Mysterio talk about the importance of believing in yourself or how there is a hero within everybody and how you can bring them out. He spoke about confidence and finding your path to greatness. At times it was over the top in earnest conviction, as if he was overcompensating any insecurities with pure showmanship.
At the very least it was entertaining, whether you enjoyed it or just came to mock him.
C. Random!
Want to run into Mysterio? Open to just finding him wandering any city, in costume or in regular clothing. Throw your own starter below. Any and all CR welcome!
For Harley - (Beck's apartment in De Chima)
Beck has extended an invitation to see his tech in action to a few people but none were perhaps as much of a wild card as Harley Quinn. The girl had talked of chaos and mayhem and while Mysterio generally preferred to keep his own world meticulously controlled and in an order of his own making, he was intrigued by what she may have to offer. In particular in terms of how his tech would react to her mind. What strange dreams would be revealed and what tweaks could he make to the programming to adapt it into future illusions. As much as he was showing off, he was also gathering data. Everyone his tech came in contact with, making a database of brain patterns and thoughts and dreams - and nightmares - all in data form that he could manipulate and integrate into a more complex program. Ideally, to help people. The more he knew, the better, he thought. But good intentions do not always make the best results and especially in his case, things could quickly escalate and fall apart.
He's given Harley his address. When she would arrive was a bit up in the air - as it was with a number of his 'guests' but he was always prepared for an arrival. His tech always set up to be on at a moment's notice for visitors both welcome and unwelcome - and he was often working on it. And so he was in his apartment, making adjustments when she arrived.
For David
David had agreed to meet with Beck again in October for a second 'session' of a sort of therapy. The first had already garnered some interesting results - although not perhaps what David had intentioned. Beck had rediscovered his childhood love of practical effects and was now incorporating that into his tech and his act - for better or worse in the future. He'd also invited Peter Parker to go bowling, despite everyone wanting them to stay apart. But it had all gone relatively well and Beck felt more comfortable at least knowing he could contact Peter. It was hard to shake that connection and unhealthy attachment he'd formed there; that one link to a mutual timeline and world. That he and Peter went back and forth between a relatively friendly conversation to antagonism and back again was something that just felt like the natural way of things at this point and he didn't want to change it. He no longer wanted to kill Peter - there was no point in that here due to changed circumstances - but he was still a danger to the teenager's mind. Mysterio had plans to teach more lessons, which in his own mind were a positive thing, even if along the way they were bound to hurt...
But nothing was a concrete plan as yet. Nothing much for David to pick up on - if he should use his power of touch. Beck's more solid plans were of continuing to further his technology and develop more of a bond between the practical and the visual programming. In simplest terms, how CGI could enhance special effects in film. But Beck wanted to bring that into reality.
He contacted David for their next meeting, still a little unsure where they stood. It wasn't exactly a friendly arrangement. He supposed it was more business, yet he wasn't paying anything, except with his time - which was precious to him in regard to the work David was discouraging. Or at least telling Beck to take a break from it. He had for a little while but of course most of his days and even into the nights were consumed with perfecting what he was working on. He really needed more sleep, and probably better meals. He ate as he went. When Beck appeared for their session, at an appointed place, Beck already looked tired, as if he hadn't slept well - yet he was buoyant and seemed to be in good spirits, greeting David with a cheerful smile.
For Loki - (Beck's apartment in De Chima)
Loki had also received an invitation by Beck to show off his tech, but unlike with Harley, Beck knew of Loki. At least in the sense that the God of Mischief had been a major headline years ago, causing widespread destruction. But Loki's reputation was interesting to Mysterio, who also had done some surface research on what the being could be capable of. Illusions were mentioned and of course that was a common ground that interested Beck. But these were a different sort. Not manufactured by tech but by some sort of magic instead. Would he be able to see through Loki's illusion magic? Would Loki be able to see through Beck's technology? Part of him wanted to impress. Part if him wanted to show he was greater and that his technology could beat a god's magic. He was that arrogant to think that he could.
So it was another interesting test, he thought, hoping that Loki would eventually accept his invitation. As with Harley, he was at home ever working on his tech to make it even better and more versatile, when Loki finally showed up.

"I have to say, I'm a little jealous. When I want to fly, I have to call a dragon. And seeing as there's no dragons here, I'm pretty out of luck there."
no subject
Even if flight is only a recent power he's been enjoying. But he's taken to it well and it feels like second nature now.
no subject
Finn matches Mysterio's bit of arrogance with a bit of snark. "Phenomenal cosmic powers at my disposal and yet I can't fly. Talk about a rip off."
no subject

He flicks his thumb up and the digit is on fire, and just for a little extra fun, he holds his other thumb right up to the flame for a few seconds. Upon extinguishing the flame, he holds up his thumbs with a grin, to show not even a hint of a burn.

His own fingers are rubbing together distractedly, considering showing off himself.

And he shows after he tells, raising his hands, around which a green glow is forming. It begins to envelope them in poisonous green energy. It doesn't give off any heat or cold but hums and sparks with power.
no subject
"Impressive. Guess it's only fair I show you a bit of mine," Finn holds both his hands out to his sides, palms facing upward. In his left hand comes a stream of fire, and in the other, comes a stream of lightning. They only last for a few seconds, before he closes both palms, the magic coming to a halt.
Not satisfied with that, he raises both hands skyward and shoots jets of frost from both palms for just a few seconds, making little flecks of frost fall on him. He also realizes he made the air around him a bit nippy.
"Maybe I should have started with the frost."
no subject
His hands are still glowing with green energy and now he makes a flinging then sweeping gesture and the energy forms a sort of protective bubble around them.
"I can use this for defence or for offence," he explains. "No elements can break through this easily. Care to try it?"
no subject
"Why not?" Finn decides to something a little different than the traditional magic for this demonstration.
"Yool toir shul!" As the last word leaves his lips, fire jets forth from his mouth. Just a single burst, but it would be powerful enough to set Mysterio on fire were it not for the barrier.
no subject
He tries something else, harnessing more of the energy and throwing it at the remaining fire, which dissolves together into a shower of gold and green sparks around them.
no subject
His eyebrows go up as the fire goes out in a magical burst. He holds his hand out, as if he were to catch snowflakes.
"That's amazing."
no subject
He looks pleased now.
"They serve me well."
no subject
The college mages back in Tamriel would give their collective big toes to see someone like Mysterio in action, and study his powers.
"Oh, by the way, I'm Finn, also known as the Dragonborn."
no subject
He holds a hand out.
"I'm known as Mysterio but my name is Quentin Beck. I will answer to either."
no subject
"Always nice to meet a fellow magic-user."
no subject
But maybe there is some Porter magic in there. His earlier research produced no concrete results or reason for these powers. The nanites? But he did know he still had to be wearing the suit for any of this to work.
"Not to say one is better than the other... But it is different."
no subject
Finn's also been studying astronomy, mostly because his lover is from space. The idea that the moon isn't a dead god and stars are giant balls of burning gas still seems weird to him.
no subject
But he couldn't let it go as just 'magic'. He had to take some credit. His ego won't allow otherwise.
no subject
Void, maybe the Clockwork City's denizens would have given Tamriel a technology boost, had the city not gone under.
