Week 1 Summary/Week 2 Plotting!

Week 1:


Empowered Service Week kicks off with the usual fair - and the Travelers’ arrival, which is sure to raise a few eyebrows over the coming weeks. Mako is certainly suspicious as is his usual… in between reclaiming a local Pokemon gym, anyway. The Bronze Blade weaves through the crowds with his usual inhuman speed. Captain Blackhawk keeps at a slight remove more out of necessity than desire. Stinger does her nightly patrols. Jess isn’t terribly fond of all this crowding. Halitosis is just plain unimpressed with everything.

Joscelin sets up the traditional check-in/cat-herding, and Ed asks how to handle it when a close friend is infiltrating and you’re not, receiving advice of… varying effectiveness. Claudia, super pleased to finally be herself on one of these things, sets Malik up with some clothes before he gets around to exploring. Natasha sets about gathering information as only she can. Kanji is briefly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of signal his cybernetics from Gehenna are picking up. Right gets in on the Pokemon excitement. Stein does his best to blend in. Jason is well-placed to join in on the vigilantism shenanigans. Zoe sets about tracking down her husband and daughter. Alcuin is not having a very good time of things.

In pooling their preliminary information, the group hits on a possible mission in the planned installation of a Solomon Ring - something which Beatrice is quick to point out could have more to do with controlling the local population than anything more seemingly benign. A number of investigators plan to put their various info-gathering talents to work on this front (it’s a more likely reason for their being here than Pokemon, anyway).

Melissa is feeling too old for this shit. Various Empowered groups make their presence known and keep the masses entertained by day, doing their hero thing (or robbery thing) by night. Libby monitors the crowd for newsworthy events… in between reclaiming a local Pokemon gym, anyway. Jules tries to keep from petrifying while manning the local Empowered school’s booth; his mother is, of course, on the scene sometimes herself.

Dr. L looks for some new victimsvolunteers for his own work; in between doing the same, Thorne pursues her own goals and does some Trump cosplaying. Revenant isn’t particularly thrilled by Service Week - or much else, really. No Man’s Land is, as usual, open to all comers. Altair is certainly not here to investigate the Manticore Knights, whatever gave you that idea? Maria accidentally unleashes some chaos from the school’s collection of confiscated Empowered items. Imriel emerges from the spirit world only to find the physical one’s changed quite a bit in his absence. Poor Gregory just wants the stupid volcano spirit he’s merged with to knock it off.

Week Two:
The big event this week is ships arriving in the harbor. Some of them contain the materials that will be used to assemble the Solomon Ring; others carry other valuables, including Empowered artifacts. We strongly encourage infiltrator villains &/or investigators to plot heists in the comments below - and infiltrator heroes, or other investigators, to try and thwart them! When planning, just remember that all us players are on the same side trying to have fun together. Excelsior!

Faed: He is going to be donning his robo-armor and alternate canon persona and set out to do some bounty hunting, as is his usual means of survival. It seems appropriate enough. SO IF YOUR CHARACTER HAS A BOUNTY ON THEM or some sort of thing let me know! I'll have him come knocking! Otherwise maybe there can be accidental or on purpose interference as he's hunting people?

Davesprite (Nicholas Davies): aka 'The Nick of Time' super thief is definitely planning on going HEIST AN ARTIFACT or something related to solomon's key. Not because he wants it per se, he's just bored and in desperate need of a challenge. He works alone and his 'do over' powers make him slippery and infuriating to deal with, so I'd be down with people wanting to thwart him, or even him thwarting other thieves along the way!

Gale (Davison Guthrie): Is going to continue doing everything in his power to help Dr L (Lyall)'s plan succeed. Don't have any specific thoughts in mind for him ATM, but they're always looking for people to make stronger/better/faster/more so... if anyone wants to get powers and/or screwed up by super science, he can make it happen!

Zaknafein: Is going to continue to feel like a stain in an otherwise bright world. I would really like people to start explaining to him this strange modern world. Unless someone got him off the street already he's been a wandering hobo for the most part, hiding out somewhere dark during the day and coming out at night since the sun is painful. His continues to be angry and frustrated, but he's no longer randomly pulling his blades on people though i want him to get startled by a tv or something and stab the fuck out of it. MUSIC would also be an awesome thing for him to discover!
