Tessa investigates the mutant fight in NYC and meets _____! Who: Tessa & Open! NPCs: Random New Yorkers When: Sunday 8 November 2009 Where: New York City What: Having seen the news report of a mutant showdown, Tessa goes to investigate. Rating: PG? Note: Seeing how the other thread seemed to be pretty public, I've invented a news report about it for Tessa to respond to. Holler if that's a problem!
...this cell phone video of two swordsmen battling for unknown reasons...
Tessa glanced over at the television from where she was exercising. Really, she'd been watching Project Runway, but the news came on when it finished and she hadn't wanted to stop her workout to change the channel.
The video was grainy and the figures were small but it appeared to be a guy in jeans duelling a demon. Huh.
It had been on Tessa's list to try to find some mutants to test her powers with. They didn't have that odd shimmer she usually saw with mutants, wither either meant they weren't mutants or her powers didn't work through the television. Considering the horns and tail, Tessa was inclined to believe the latter.
She recognized one of the buildings off to the side. That wasn't too far from her house.
Deciding to check it out---hey, jogging was good exercise too---she headed out the door and to the scene of the event.
Some time had passed and there were crews clearing some of the debris. Nothing too serious it looked like, but the roads were blocked off. Rather than join the rest of the gawkers at the police line, Tessa climbed up on a nearby fire escape to survey the scene.
