Amazing Outcasts! (Amazing Superheroes Waitlist Thread)
« on: September 28, 2013, 11:00:22 pm »

You woke up the next day to find out that you'd been rejected from the Amazing Superheroes and waitlisted in favor of a Commie, a vigilante who believes the government is corrupt, a former terrorist cell member, and the mascot of a major corporation. What do you do?

Wondering what's going on? Read here.

Well, let's see.

I'm a street magician who can make duplicates of himself.

I guess I'll go put on the best magic show in the history of ever!

Go to gym out of costume. Try sparring with someone and testing out how exactly the skill duplication works.

Find other rejected heroes who are inevitably whippersnappers. Tell them we absolutely have to fight crime better then those other guys.
Make Country Kitchen Buffet our home base. Also obtain carpool to Country Kitchen Buffet.

Drive him, AFTER subjecting him to a an information overload about the stars in closest proximity to Sol, agree that we have to show the other people up, but suggest we use my observatory as a base instead, it's more private

Agree with this idea.

Once at base, locate an unused room and convert it into a workshop.

Grumble about not using CKB as base, then spend the entire drive telling Mr. Star Dude about "THAT ONE SORCERER WHAT CAME AROUND 78 YEARS AGO AND COULD USE STARLIGHT TO BURN PEOPLE USING HIS MAGIC STAFF. EXCEPT WE DIDN'T CALL THEM SORCERERS BACK THEN. WE CALLED EM NORMANS. AND THEY WEREN'T CALLED MAGIC STAVES, BUT WERE INSTEAD CALLED WILLY WHISTLES.
SO THIS NORMAN CAME ON TO THE SEEN WITH HIS WILLY WHISTLE AND STARTED GIVIN E'RYBODY A NASTY PIECE O DAT DERE SUNBURN. NOW THIS WAS BEFORE YOUR TIME I UNDERSTAND, CUZ WE DID'N HAVE THAT THERE TWEELER OR DAT THERE LACEHOOK. SO THE ONLY WAY WE NEW BOUT THIS WAS WE READ IT IN THAT THERE NEWSPAPER. CEPT IT WURNT CALLED A NEWSPAPER BACK THEN. WE CALLED IT A SHAKEMANS SALAD.
SO ONE DAY I WAS READIN MY SHAKEMANS SALAD AND WHADAYA KNOW BUT THERE WAS A DAMN GUM NORMAN GIVIN PEOPLE IS SUNTAN WITH HIS DAMN GUM WILLY WHISTLE.
FIXED IM UP RIGHT. PUNCHED THAT NORMANS FACE IN. PUNCHED ALOT OF GUYS FACE IN. Y'KNOW IF'N I HAD STUCK TO ONE NAME THROUGHOUT MAH CAREER I MIGHTA GOTTEN REAL FAMOUS. FOR STOPPIN NORMANS WITH THERE WILLY WHISTLES. BY PUNCHIN DERE FACE IN RIGHT QUICK."


((Note to Wolfchild: Old people are the absolute authority on information overload. They are also deaf enough they can't hear you interrupt them, and also deaf enough that they yell everything they say. Yeah. Probably should remember that, keep it written down somewhere.))

Once I get my workshop set up, invent some sort of device to muffle the old guy's voice.

(5) Jenny turns her attentions to the sky when she receives her rejection letter, and discovers a new dwarf planet and the astronomers union names it Copern after her.

Well, let's see.

I'm a street magician who can make duplicates of himself.

I guess I'll go put on the best magic show in the history of ever!
Cromwell decides to perform some street magic using duplicates of himself. (1) As soon as he makes the first duplicate, everyone freaks out and runs away.

Go to gym out of costume. Try sparring with someone and testing out how exactly the skill duplication works.
Novus heads to the gym! (2) It turns out that everyone in the place is doing mundane things, like weightlifting, and no sparring.

Find other rejected heroes who are inevitably whippersnappers. Tell them we absolutely have to fight crime better then those other guys.
Make Country Kitchen Buffet our home base. Also obtain carpool to Country Kitchen Buffet.

(4) Joseph searches and finds Colin and Jenny, and they decide to form a competing superhero team to the Amazing Superheroes.

Grumble about not using CKB as base, then spend the entire drive having an extremely long rant

After an argument over where to have a base that turns into Joseph and Jenny trying info-overload each other, (4) Colin and Jenny get Joseph to go with the choice of the observatory as their base. Not that stops his complaining.

Colin (2) attempts to create a workshop in a disused room, but finds he has no tools or equipment for the job here.

(Question: Are you going to stick with your jobs or quit them for full-time superheroics?)

Hm. Look for people doing something that requires skill, try to covertly copy it.

Also, don't quit your job.

Don't quit job (yet, at least).

Obtain all tools and such which would be needed for a workshop. Computers, welding stuff, Bohemian earspoons, etc.
