AMERICAN NIGHTMARE | Arc 6

"American Nightmare" cover image -- LARGE

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most." Jack, Mandy, Arthur, Brian... they have come from passengers to social group to friends. But in this story arc they become ... normal.

    • RECAP: So our intrepid Adventurers all headed to Seattle, Everyone wondered would mandy show? Dispite her telling Aurther shed be there her friends weer concerned for she alone found happiness in this weird alt world. Brian and Aurther an jack and marks flew in to the south of Seattle while Mandy chose north. After much bickering the boys stoped at urban outfitters and picked up some gears. Strangly no one in this world wanted to go to seattle or cared about it. Like there minds had been turned away from it. Hiways had been rerouted and big fenses declared "HAZARD" in ominous yellow letters.
      The boys met up with Mandy in hicksvile just outside of shadowlake park and made there way to the fence, after a bit or work the group began bush wacking there way through. It was jungle lush with forest growth and we climbed trees to see where we weer going planning on heading to the Celera facility.. As we trooped through the woods we encountered a giant bear trap. We decided to travel more cautiously letting Aurther lead. We passed where Celera should have been and it wasn't there only forest. We encountered a bear that wasn't nearly afraid of people as it should have been. Luckly it got bored with us and decided to leave. We became aware of a distant logging camp.. Aurther encountered a man from the camp out hunting bears. And we realized we weernt in Kansas anymore. When we tried to follow our trail back to the fence we found the fence and civilization gone.. we stowed mandys bike by the lake and decided to head for what should be downtown Seattle. As we walked we encountered farms and people datting from the early 1900's someone saw a model-t. we saw smith tower still being constructed. Due to a clever thought on Brians part and some fast talking he was able to convince the local University administrator that he was a professor on his way to visit Vancouver who had ended up out of sorts here in Seattle.. there was only one twist... The Admin wants brian to give a Lecture on...
      Modern History of 1918 DUN DUN DUN!!!

    • PREVIEW:
      previously in AMERICAN GODS...
      The Hopewell crew found themselves in a new world. One devoid of the atrocities of 9/11. For some this would be the perfect world [Mandy]. For others a nightmare [Brian]. But with the radical change in history so to was changed the fates of the Godlike, the were survivors of AA Flight 283 no more. They were Godlike no more. Defying what this new logic told them Brian Jaffe leads his friends to Seattle which seems to be a void point in this world. But when they arrive they are minus one. For Mandy Smith this world is home. Breaching the barrier shielded from observation either mundane or Godlike, the Hopewell group learns that this Seattle is actually one stinted in time... Residing somewhere around 1914-18. Ever the diplomat Brian settles the group into a good situation convincing old Seattle University's dean that he and his group are travelling from Boston. But with the hospitality comes a price, the Dean promptly asked Professor Jaffe to lecture tomorrow evening on politics of the modern history of 1918!
      and soon in AMERICAN GODS...
      Unexpected guests, friend and stranger, will offer direction to the Hopewellians. As Professor Jaffe speaks to the children of yesteryear - Arthur, Jack and Vernon are surrounded - while Mandy's attention fades thanks to a friend... The day is thrown asunder - it begins tomorrow, continues yesterday and ends today. You'll ask... Where has he been? Well - they drove him away. But he didn't leave for them - he left for the sake of a cherished few. But there was a plan. A contingency. They came to that place for answers. But got none. They made it their own because he told them it wasn't real anymore since she was gone. They weren't expecting a wildcard before they killed him. He should have died in the street that day. But if he had would Seattle survive the coming of the Progeny. One will hear truth and follow it, one will begin to find the engineered destiny, one will return from a long absence, and one will die undone.
    • RECAP: This weeks issue begins after a long break in play. It opens with Brian giving his speech about politics and sunscreen. As Brian enraptures the audience, the others are noticing things amiss. Arthur notices a girl in the crowd with a haircut almost a century premature, then joins Mandy do go visit a suddenly appearing aquaintance from the future...Beth. Jack joins them just in time to see Beth whisper into Mandy's ear and see her go dead. Arthur and Jack immediately hustle Mandy's body and Beth into a side room to freak out inprivate. Beth is very unhelpful in explaining, except saying that Mandy wasn't supposed to be here. Meanwhile, Brian finishs his speech and is accosted by students and staff alike, all wanting to shmooze with the charismatic young professor. The last of which is a comely young woman dressed in deffinately modern ideas of appropiate clothing. She chides Brian for ignoring her signs telling everybody to stay out of Seattle. After some banter and swagger back and forth the girl clenches her fist and slams Brian into the wall with apparently the power of her mind alone. Her power play is interupted by Marx's timely intervention with his usual tact, aka. a gun to the head. Jack and Arthur emerge from the back office just in time to see all of this occur. As Jack approaches, Arthur fades among the seats and starts sneaking up. After further banter, the girl declares that she is going to have to kill us all and snaps her fingers at Jack saying "Die!!" As Jack's brain starts to hemmorage, Arthur gets in a suprise blow that knocks her unconscious.
