The Gneech! Awww YeahTonight in #MMRPG! My back finally shuts up enough that I can GM again as the heroes continue their search for the missing girl Cammie. Vega the Digital Dragon surprises a trio of mischievous scamps who snuck into her arcade in the middle of the night but one of them recognizes her as a town superhero and they end up having a heartwarming moment geeking out over video games. Unfortunately, the moment is interrupted by somebody or something landing on the roof of the arcade... 1/?
Vega goes to investigate and finds Dr. Vesper, in his monstrous bat form that the press has dubbed the "Gargoyle Man," along with a harpy-like creature that Vesper describes as his "little protegee." Vesper says that they have come to introduce themselves and invite Vega to join their society of man-creature misfits that is led by "The Madame," Dr. Diana Laughton of the Laughton Institute. 2/?
Vega buys some time to get the mischievous scamps out of the arcade and call the rest of the Mythics for backup, then plays along at being interested in joining this "new family." Vesper and Harpy (who does not speak once during the interaction) lead Vega to a ship in the harbor, where the Laughton Institute appears to be packing up their things... presumably because they know they're drawing attention from Agent Carter and A.R.G.E.N.T. among others. 3/?
