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 newvictimsvolunteers 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!

no subject
Beatrice is going to continue gathering information about the Solomon Ring and how Spirits and Empowered feel about the subject, probably mingling as one of the more "an" types of Empowered tagonists. She's also going to stalk her apprentice and may be making a public appearance as Madam Sphynx, although ideally only around Maria and/or the M-Dudes. If another superhero wants to get mixed up with that, let me know, otherwise she's just going to keep creeping and spying until we see how successful the Investigator raid on the Ring components is.
