Dima, staggering, leans over to Celia, and blinks. "Um...Dynasty Warriors rules. If you defeat the general, that counts as defeating the minions. So...Um...what shall I do now before the ghost eats my soul, or whatever it is that ghosts EAT."
She coughs again, though a good bit less. "Damn. For a leprechaun, or a pixie, or whatever you are...you hit hard. You guys going anywhere?"

Chii simply nods to the cult leader with a curt "As you wish, no?", and pulls out a piece of butterfly paper, writing down a brief summary of events, although perhaps with different priorities than the others would use:
'Greta,
Cultists found attempting to summon Balor. Cultists persuaded this would be a bad thing. Currently at <Address of warehouse>. One case of mild chi damage (including blood loss), plus cult leader has minor injuries and possible mental health issues. Recommend former case get bed rest and fluids, latter get psychiatric evaluation.
- Chiyembekezo'
She then squeezes the butterfly paper and sends it off to Greta.
After that, she returns to Dima, wincing as she sees the woman cough up blood. "Easy, miss...Do not stress yourself. Damage to chi or vitae makes it easy to get hurt. Eat something easy to digest, Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and visit a clinic tomorrow. Maybe avoid evil cults in future and find better source for...uh...what 'Xenogears' is, yes?" Chii does not really know if it is a book, comic, or video game, given she doesn't know video games.
At that, she sighs briefly at Celia's suggestion. Celia definitely does not live in the same reality she does...

Celia thinks for just a moment. She contemplated a narrow range of heroic possibilities, before coming up with her answer "So, who wants to form a team of superheroes!?"
... Goddamn it, Celia.

The cultists all look at each other...and are now running away. Dima, for her part, smiles. "Hey, I'm in. I'll be the person who stays at base and doesn't get BLASTED BY CHI STRIKES! At least until I miraculously gain superpowers in a freak accident. Or get kidnapped by the Big Bad. I really hope it's superpowers." She stands next to the party, trying to look like she is TOTALLY with these people.
Pumpkin, alias Dwight, is just busy trying not to get in trouble. After a bit of...uncomfortable silence, a figure approaches. A portly officer, recognizable to those who met him as Officer Bob Sally. "So...this is the perp. So, I can book him on a few charges...I think. At the least, cruelty to animals and graffiti. I'll have to check with the boss if "Summoning an ancient demon" counts as a crime. Huh...wonder if you can summon the "Demon of promotions." Might be something to look into."
Pumpkin opens his mouth to protest...looks at Chi and Celia, looks at Glenn, and then decides not to. Officer Bob takes him away...and, well, that's that.
(5 Exp to all for defeating the cult, not cumulative to if I already rewarded one for this encounter.)

As she slightly grudgingly gave Officer Sally whatever he might have needed for testimony - any distrust of cops was easily outweighed by the danger of Balor cultists - Chii looks between Celia and Dima and shakes her head, idly wondering if Celia is contagious or if Dima was strange all along.
"...have I somehow missed some important facet of reality, that powers lead to spandex tights and....what is the term....catchphrases full of corn?" To be fair, they had just taken down a cult to a god of evil...but even Chii thought that seemed less 'superhero' and more 'action hero'. Inasmuch as such a term applied to a battle where most of the cultists were convinced to give up and there could not have been more than a minute or two of actual fighting - which Chii thought was a good thing. Too many injured and dead people as it was. Besides, heroism didn't need these things - her mentors saved lives wearing medical scrubs, and her father used trickery and knowledge of the wild to deceive and frighten away poachers, with no catchphrases and usually wearing nothing but a tattered pair of pants.
Oh well...."I suppose superheroes need medical attention like everyone else, yes?"

And...with that, Officer Sally grabs Dwight and skeedaddles. Mission accomplished! All that's left...is to figure out what now. And what Glenn has been doing.

Celia smiled "Wooo! Our league now has mission control! Oooh, what do you want your code name to be!? Mission control always gets cool code names!"
Okay, so maybe it was solved peacefully. But a baddies just got dragged away by a cop in a situation she was involved in, so this made it her first official hero action... not how she had thought it would end, but alls well that ends well, she supposed. She smiled as she looked at Celia "Nah, I mean, not everyone with powers has to do it. I mean, 'with great power comes great responsibility' as they say, buuuuuuut there's also a lot of people good at math who don't go into math."
Celia smirked "However..."
"Every comic book and manga ever says that there are good things to do when you're a hero!" she said "Plus, I mean, Spandex is just the easier to think of choice. Crop jacket, goggles not over eyes, belly showing, shorts, boots. There's a reason I'm wearing this stuff, people! It's a heroine's outfit!"
After a short pause, she continued "So, anyone else wanna go get something to eat?"

Chii still looks at Celia like she's crazy, but at least she had a sensible idea at the end. "Food sounds like a good idea, yes?"

Dima nods, smiling at her lilliputian friend. "So...I'm thinking Skye-Eye? Creative misspelling for copyright purposes. Disc two I get taken over by some all powerful mecha virus which gives me superpowers, I replace a party member who tragically dies. Probably you." She points to Glenn. "You...just have that air about you."
"And, well, if we're going to get some food, I know a great North African Alliance place...They do a great falafel. Oh, and their spiced lamb is GREAT. And, while I'm there, I can figure out which of the two of you I'm selling my soul to."

Celia rolls Metabolic 4 to activate Grow (DC: 4) rdemBCug Takes 1 Stress Celia's Chi Stress Track [X][X][][][][]
Celia quickly grew to a size more appropriate to that normal human, although she was still somewhat short. Also, she was flat as a "Don't get used to this, I can't stay this size for long." Sadly for everyone present, her clothes grew with her. Also, ever if they hadn't Celia was pretty flat.
Celia licked her lips when the African restaurant was mention "Ooh, didn't know one of those were in town. I'm in!"ยทยทยท

Glen raises hir eyebrow a bit, brushing hir clothes off from the rather short blow "I prefer we don't die. I am not sure how accurate these media stories are. They just seed paranoia...I've been told so atleast. Television is evil" Shi says and glances around. "I am glad we could resolve this mostly peacefully. Whom do we have to tell about our success now ?"

Dima thinks...then shrugs. "Maybe we can go meet some of your friends first, and see if they want to come? And she heads off, to meet the people who she also wants to work with...

And then Celia frowned a bit, for she was hungry. Ah well, she started to go back to the club with Dima.

Chii looks a bit baffled at Glenn. "Evil? Television is just kind of lame and pointless when you're fifty miles from the nearest town with electricity, no?" Beyond that, Chii's just too confused and confounded to be sure of anything, aside from falafel sounding good.
