<span class="mu-i">And there came a day unlike any other... When Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat...</span>
<span class="mu-i">On that day, they became... <span class="mu-s">The Avengers!</span></span>
Welcome back to Avengers Quest, true believers!
This is but one of many realities where the group known as The Avengers is formed... But definitely not the one you might be familiar with. The team's fate, and perhaps the entire world's fate, depend on your collective choices!

<span class="mu-s">This is a quest where you will give commands to a character, but with multiple player characters: You can ONLY select commands for ONE character in your post until the next QM post, which is a new "turn".</span>
<span class="mu-s">Nobody "owns" any of the player characters, anybody can play them until the next "turn", but always only one per post. You can change your decision before the QM post if you change your mind. You can give commands to any of the available characters even if someone else has as long as you remember to choose only one. Ties are simply decided by what I think would be most interesting so try to avoid them.</span>
Make sure to write which character you are choosing for in your post.

Last time, in Avengers Quest, Loki attempted to trick the heroes of Earth into fighting each other while he brainwashed Dr. Henry Pym into opening a portal so he could launch a full on invasion, but Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, The Wasp and Moon Knight came together to stop his scheme, but Thor and Dr. Pym were lost to the portal to places unknown.
To prevent similar crises from happening, they teamed up to form THE AVENGERS.

But now, a new threat has risen, and in this issue they will face an extremely dangerous adventure... As they fall... <span class="mu-s">"Under the Death Grip of... KLAW!"</span>

...Some time has passed since the night where New York was invaded by shadowy monsters from beyond, and The Avengers came together to save it... Pym Labs, the source of the invasion and the place hit the hardest by it, is still under reconstruction... And new management.
We find our heroes gathered once more, leading the reconstruction effort, unaware of the incoming bad news...!
The middle of the day at Avengers Labs was as quiet as it can be with these people: Tony Stark funds most of the repair work while Janet Van Dyne makes sure everything is in order, in particular anything relating to the lab, where Mjolnir still remains, unmovable.
And Captain America? He sits in wait for his next mission, time away from the battlefield was always good but he was still not used to it, and seeing Tony Stark check his schedule on his phone (another strange artifact from the future that the good ol' captain struggles to understand!) only made him feel all the more alienated.
"You know I really appreciate all that you're doing for this... But is the logo final?" He says, trying to make some small talk. "Eh, it's a work in progress. Jan will probably whip up a better one soon." Replies Stark with a nonchalant attitude typical of him...

Last time, you began the day with the idea of introducing your Bestie to your family and friends, then this all shaped into a different monster, and now you’re at Nariko’s former luxurious apartment trying to enjoy lunch together. One that you cooked.

You took the chance to reconnect with Chio — who pretended to be amnesic about the events of the Bubble — but due to a misunderstanding by Nariko, you’re in her room taking care of this sickly mother with her daughter. Yes, Chio’s excessive blushing made your OG hobo believe that she was feverish from overworking. It appears to happen often, but this is the first time Nariko has decided to put her foot down and force her mom to take a break.

“F-For the last time, I’m not sick, Nariko! Stop disobeying me!” Chio grumbles as she’s inside the bed.

“I’m sorry, Mother. The thermometer clearly stated your fever!” Nariko won’t relent. Going full-tomato gets you feverish? The more you know... “I’m no passive bystander any longer, you must rest!”

“Okay, here we go…” You arrive with the food on a tray, you had to go back to the kitchen to find one. “Still warm, I feel.” More like you’re praying… You didn’t do all of this for it to be cold!

“Thank you, Johnny!” Nariko appreciates you dearly. “My mother is overwhelmingly stubborn, I know with your presence she has no option but to behave.”

“I’m NOT stubborn.” Chio grits her teeth.

“Then prove it! Rest!” Nariko challenges. Chio is clearly not prepared to handle her daughter talking back.

“Or eat. Your food’s ready.” You wiggle your eyebrows like the one-note character you become after cooking.

“T-This is so upsetting...” Chio misses the happiness she felt a few minutes ago.

“Well, it doesn’t have to be. The others want to cheer you up.” You announce what Yu Yan, Crossbill, and Amelia want to do. “A happy patient is a healthy patient.”

“That doesn’t make a lick of sense.” Chio doesn’t want anyone here. Her is mouth watering a little...

“I have to concur...” Nariko clearly doesn’t like going against your idea, but she has to.

“It’s Yu Yan’s idea though. She watched a movie about a clown doctor curing people with laughter and/or witchcraft, then there’s a murder mystery at the end or something.” You quote Yu Yan word by word even though you didn’t pay much attention.

“If that’s something they believe will help, there’s no reason to decline.” Nariko thinks this through and comes out with the best conclusion.

“There are plenty of reasons.” Chio frowns.

“And we will use none of them…” You shrug.

The Objective is to cheer up Chio to cure her!

<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>

>Bring Amelia first.
>Bring Crossbill first.
>Bring Yu Yan first.
>Just ask Chio to eat her food again. That’ll “cure” her.
>Write In.

Your name is Orin Thanewood. Also known as Hopper. Also known as Taylor. You don’t like people knowing your real name. Only a handful do. And the reason for that? It’s simple. You don’t like thinking about the past. Some wounds still ache. But that doesn’t matter right now.

Today was… eventful. Another fight with your ex that you had to mediate, a sharp reprimand from the higher-ups and an oddly relaxing sauna with a girl you still couldn’t figure out. The strange part? All of it was connected. You were supposed to take Carmine with you for a meeting, but instead, you brought the new girl. Why? A gut feeling. Maybe she just felt easier to be around.

But none of that matters anymore. What matters is meeting with the other regents of Kuchinashi. You thought it was a golden opportunity to forge alliances, solve problems, and earn some renown for the White Fang. Maybe it could even mend some of the damage from the fallout you had with Carmine and Sienna.

Now? Now you weren’t so sure. Shelly wanted nothing to do with this mess (And you couldn’t blame her). She even suggested leaving the city, maybe taking Sora along. The idea… piqued your interest. But first, you had to get through this meeting.

>>[QM here, all these have potential to grow in power, and are not contained by just their little description. Have Fun, Good Luck!]

You are still William. Currently framing several mages as arsonists for breaking school property to get the school hall monitors to come and beat their shit in.

You are barely more than nothing at all, less than a ghost, less than a memory. You have no past, there is no future, yet. An apt metaphor might describe you as one tadpole among many, swimming in a warm pool. This metaphor is not entirely accurate, but it will suffice, for to describe the connection between the starving tadpole you are and the reality shaping god you might become would be no easy task.

You have no name and no features, though for the sake of organization the universe will permit you a single character to mark your identity.

You are hungry, and growing hungrier. Two sources of nourishment present themselves to your fragile and nascent mind. The first is to drink from the warm water that you swim in, of which there is only a little remaining. The second is to lash out and slaughter your brothers and sisters, whose bodies will return to the warm water from whence you all came.

----

Character Submission:

Name: The universe grants you a single character for your name, to better keep track of you.

Backstory: You have none. This warm water in this dark place is all you have ever known.

Motivation: You are hungry, which dominates your thoughts, but perhaps something else lurks behind the haze.

Corpus: You have three Corpus, which represents your integrity as a less than a memory thing. At zero Corpus you cease to exist entirely, unless you possess a Domain, in which case you merely fall into a coma, and restore 1 Corpus at the start of the next turn. Such a state leaves you terribly vulnerable however.

Might: You have three Might. When you attack you roll a die with sides equal to your Might.

---

Available Actions: You may take two actions. At the end of your turn you will lose 1 Corpus, unless you have acquired a Domain. It is unclear how this might be achieved.

Drink: You drink from the Warm Water, and gain 1 Corpus, reducing the total water by 1.

Attack: You attack one of your brothers and sisters. Choose one. Roll a die with sides equal to your Might. Their Corpus is reduced by the result of the dice roll and is added to the Warm Water.

---

The State of the Universe:
There is you, and your siblings, all identical for now, save a single character the universe has allowed you for a name. You swim in a great lake of warm water, a tiny wriggling thing. The more curious of your siblings discover a smooth and firm wall encircling you on the side and bottom, with no corners, only smooth curves.

There appears to be 30 units of warm water here to feed you and your kin. It is unclear if it will be enough.

A million dollars.

It's change your life money. It's fuck you, I got mine money. It's more money than I'd ever seen. And here it was in the palm of my hand, written out on a check with the stamp of a Qatari oil dynasty on it, crumpled up in the corners from totting it around in my back pocket the last couple of hours. There was a lot I could do with a million dollars. But what I was going to do with it?

I put it down in front of Dad. He was sitting at the table nursing a cup of coffee, Carmen having a shower in the back.

"What's this?" he said, then his eyes narrowed. "What's that?" He pointed to the cut on my forearm.

"So you haven't watched the news," I said, sitting across from him. He sucked his teeth before taking a sip of his black coffee. "I did something dumb, but it paid off pretty good. Saved a rich guy's life and well, you can use his money more than I can."

Dad's eyebrows shot up and now he took the check in hand, read it over. Looked back to me.

"This legit?" he said. I nodded. Pretty sure it was.

"Thank Prince Zahir al'Mirza," I said.

He didn't smile, he didn't know what to do. He dropped the check like it was venomous.

"No, this is bullshit," he said, stunned, "A million dollars?"

"You're over forty and still working construction," I said, "We live in a shithole in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city. You have a baby on the way, a wedding to plan with Miss Flores."

"Yeah," he said, "But a million dollars? No one just gives away a million dollars."

I shrugged. Maybe not, but the money was there.

"This is your money anyway," he said, "You earned it." He pushed the check across the table toward me.

"I don't need it," I said, pushing it back.

"You can find a good cause for it, better than me," he said, pushing it back.

Stubborn old asshole. We both tightened our jaws, glaring across the table at each other. The showerhead switched off, the glass door sliding back on its rollers in the silence. Take the money, I thought. Take the fucking money.

"It could pay for your college tuition, and anything else you ever wanted," he said.

"All I want is to take care of you guys," I said.

"I don't need taking care of," he replied. The sound of Carmen's footsteps coming down the hall.

>Fucking hell Dad, just take the money!
>Fine, what if we split it, 50/50?
>If you're going to be an ass, okay I will keep it
>(write-in)

Jail Quest: a text adventure occasionally illustrated.


A night of drinking and a failed attempt to cheat on cards had landed you the strangest job slash community service sentence you've ever had: ensuring Gongalla Gaol survives the reality storm called Singularity.

Now you travel around with your employer and a handpicked crew to survey the four Reality Anchors. Hey, beats being tarred and feathered, right?

You are Rosa Montagni, and you've had just returned from a successful raid on a cultist cave, only to find a commotion in the town of Pinewatch. A large autowagon came in, claiming from the north; their driver claimed to have had a shootout with bandits. And yet, there's no bullet marks, and while the passengers were wounded, the driver wasn't. Then there's this mysterious gunman camping the back of the clinic, as well as the mischievous goblin girl Rita from the brothel and the missing theatre troupe actor, Hammy. Just as you think things were getting simpler...

This is <span class="mu-g">Gob</span>. He is a goblin going to Fantasy University in the year 200X, and he wants a girlfriend!
Like his peers, he is looking for love and validation. He has no idea how to achieve either, but he is willing to try most things to achieve his goals.
Graduating would also be nice, but that is currently Gobs priority number two.

First day of school is about to start. Gob takes a look at the school pamphlet all new students receive:
---
<span class="mu-b">Pre-start seminar on study techniques and other handy tips (9:15-10:30)
Library opens. Curriculum books sale and trade (10:00-18:00)
Introduction to speaking Common: The bridge between cultures (10:00-10:45)
Headcount and registration at the auditorium (11:00-12:30) </span> <span class="mu-r">(MANDATORY)</span>
<span class="mu-b">Pizza for new students and faculty (12:45-14:00)
Language and culture exhibition stands (12:45-18:15)
How to maintain mental health during hardships and setbacks (14:15-15:15)
Volunteer program introductions at the auditorium (15:00-18:00)
Forest walk, sponsored by Save the Unicorn Foundation (16:15-17:15) </span>
---

Quite a lot of things the school has to offer first day. None of them about how to get a girlfriend unfortunately.

The clock is currently 8:00.

<span class="mu-r">What does Gob start the day with? (You can vote for multiple at a time) </span>
>Eat breakfast
>Brush teeth
>Shower
>Sleep a bit longer
>Check out the university grounds
>Attend event (which one?)
>Write in
