WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

[Marcus Impudite]

A company in your campaign world that manufactures deodorant and other hygene products has started marketing a pheromonally-enhanced body spray for both sexes. Over the course of a week, as people purchase and try out the spray, it appears to not only work much the way their rather risque tv ads suggest, but seems to work a little too well. All around your campaign city, men and women are doing things in the streets that would be better done behind closed doors (and in the case of some of them, definately with the lights out). Things get way out of hand as people are soon too busy *ahem* "getting friendly with each other" to do anything else. Meanwhile, several teams of individuals clad in haz-mat suits are fanning out through the city cleaning out stores and banks with little or no resistance. WWYCD?

Uncle Slam would deploy his agents in similar bio-suits, to do combat.

 

Audra Blue is inside the environmentally sealed hero base, and any biological agent trying to enter would have problems. She'd alert media outlets to the problem to spread word, user her cyber-skills to hijack and redploy any surplus gas masks to where they are needed most (anonymously), and notify any heroes she can track down.

 

Anthem would have more trouble. She's going to be trying to get into the corporate HQ for the company that makes the product, all the while fighting her biological urges. The problem comes from the question Is this Illegal to produce? Sure, she'd find it offensive to be manipulated in such a way, but if no law enforcement declares this product illegal, then she's stuck running around the streets just stopping the thieves and trying to build a connection between them and the company that produces the stuff. She can probably do this by discovering the source of the bio-suits; Those aren't easy to come by! That will probably produce a link between the two.

Champion Wind: As Champion Wind, this isn't her domain. As her normal self, she'd talk to her parents, and try to organize protests (what can I say, she grew in SanFran).

 

Faye: Visit the president of the company. Suggest that the new line is a little too much of a good thing, and it would be a good idea to dilute the spray a little more... like to about a tenth its current strength. If necessary, fly him around to see the effects.

Soulbarb immediately suspects a connection to Hype. However, what to do about it? First thing is she's going to need one of those bio-suits, or at least a gas mask; that sort of chemical attack is not something she's got any innate resistance to. So, she'll try to hunt down a haz-mat team, swinging well above street level so as to stay clear of any noxious perfume vapours, until she finds one, then stalks them until she can get one or two out sight of the others, nab them, and take the suits. If her pal Nocturne is likely to join her, she'll grab enough for both of them. If any tailoring is required to get them to fit, that's next. Then she'll go looking for the largest concentration of women she can find, figuring that Hype will be there, and see if he made a deal with the perfume manufacturing company. Hype's so self-centered he probably didn't realize he was being played, and will probably tell her all about it. From there it should be a relatively simple matter to get PRIMUS on the horn to start straightening things up while she goes after the main culprits. Hype might well insist on going along, but that'll be ok as long as Soulbarb's wearing the hazmat suit, even though he'll probably get himself into trouble. One thing's for sure, she'll be keeping the suit after the adventure is over.

Either, put on gas mask fly out to manufacturing facility and EB it (hey, he goes for the direct approach) when nobody is there and worry about the property damage later. OR

 

Just stay in the cave, indefinitely.

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Jack Malleus: Would collect all of the material he could lay his hands on and stockpile it ("You know, to study later") and then get a rebreather of some sort, assuming that he wanted to disentangle himself from the action very badly. Harv (his Incorporeal-Duplicate-"sidekick") would attempt to save Jack from himself despite the tongue lashing he would no doubt later get.

[Dr. Anomaly]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Dr. Anomaly would (a) equip those members of his team that need to breath or don't already have an environmentally-sealed suit with appropriate protection so they can deal with the robbers, and ( work quickly to come up with a counter-agent that can be widely distributed as an aerosol. In the mean time, he'd suggest that Scarab assume her Hathor aspect and go out to 'take control' of the people "getting it on" on the streets until he can get the counter-agent ready.

Well, ouch, Adonis automatically takes times two affect from this sort of attack, so he is going to be far too busy to be doing much of anything.

I've had one character who would sell the company stock short, figureing the company will have its best selling line shut down, and with the lawsuits and the crippling damagaes moiven flaven.

[Kristopher]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

I usually have a character who is well-suited for this kind of thing, most of having a lot of Life Support and other unusual defenses.

 

Most of them would probably:

 

A) get some help

contact law-enforcement and the media with the details

C) try to get a weather-controlling superhero to rain on the "parade"

D) stop the criminals

E) do whatever it took to get the product off the market and out of production, and to make sure that the formula was thoroughly lost

[Lethosos]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Queen of Spades would be one step ahead, due to how she has a Haz-Mat attachment to the Suit. Of course, this assumes that she isn't already macking with, erm, someone doused in that stuff...

 

If she wasn't, she's go play "rip the Haz-Mat suit off" with the robbers and let them take a strong wiff of the spray. Then stuff them into a room and let the police know about it. Then she'd make a fine point to find certain people to 'pressure' the spray makers to either dillute or discontinue the product...

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Eric/Crush: If they have any link to Nu-Tech he'd likely be in on the scam of the perfume and be more than willing to test out alternate variants of the emotion manipulating chemical. (considering his powers are emotion controling themselves) As a Teenager he'd get a great kick out of it and as a Teen Villian with some morals, it prevents them from getting hurt or killed stopping criminals.

[assault]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Assault wouldn't be affected by the spray, so he would play "slap the robber".

 

Once he had a prisoner or two, he would interrogate them to see if there was any connection between them and the manufacturer and/or inventor of the spray. Assuming he draws a blank, he would investigate the company in order to see if there was anything sinister going on.

 

In any case, he would try to get the product taken off the market.

[McCoy]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Millennium has a high EGO, should be able to resist the effect, will apprehend the looters.

 

Cheeta will be buying the stuff by the caseload before it's pulled from the market.

 

Iron Will's iron lung makes his breathing self contained, not to mention that he's still pre-pubscent, he'll try to create an area effect counter-agent.

 

Snow Leopard has an enhancensed sense of smell, may be affected. If not, multiple move-by time as she shreds haz-mat suits.

 

Dolphin doesn't need to breath. And considers looting to be really bad for the Karma.

[BcAugust]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Cyrande wouldn't have been effected(alien), but would be mildly amused that the rest of the team seems to think it's horrid. "Your culture is very repressed. It's nice to actually see them relax." Did I mention she's Malvan?

 

Nox would likely be in human form, and would be terribly embaressed at being caught in this. Though she'd likely help stop the looters after getting a rebreather from Peregrine.

[mikesama]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Quantum has life support that would keep him fine so it's off to capture badguys and find out how. Either that or he'll take a sample and create a non toxic counter agent and srpay the city with it.

 

Heavens sword Emotionally repressed teenager that hangs around with com 20+ females most of the time. He'd be doomed under the effects of this spray. His repression would probably still be strong enough to keep him from doing things in public, he'd take them home first then would procede with the various things which he has been want to do for quite some time.

 

Snap Dragon would take a dip in the lake first off to hopefully keep the effect for getting her, then procede to get some type of filter mask and run down the criminals.

Astro-Knight: It really depends on if he was caught out of costume by Erica under its influence or not. In costume, he has LS: No need to breathe and be immune. He has NASA ties, and might be able to find out more about the chemical...either way, he'd DEFINITELY Trash the suits. Out of costume, well, he's just a guy and might get caught up in the passions.

 

Gaze: Gaze is very strong willed, and this would piss him off no end as he has a lot of guilt about his own mind control powers and how they can be abused. Evil 'mentalists' tick him off, and chemical control wouldn't sit much better. He'd mind control some authority figures back to their senses if he could and had to, so the robbers might find themselves facing a LOT more trouble on a big scale than they anticipated. He'd capture one, and find out the source of this , who's behind it. Then he'd hunt him down.

 

Max Thunder: Poor Max would probably slip to his alternate hedonistic godly personality, which is a shame, because his medical human side is much more needed for this. He would, as he has before, enjoy many women. However, if someone pointed out to him that someone "dared control the son of Zeus!" He'd be ticked and go to thrash yon punks.

 

Recluse: "Whew, at least it's not MY fault this time..." (See, there was this mystic ritual where he tried to contain all his sexual desire in a gre gre bag so he could be a better super hero but there was a complication where... ah, nevermind ) and then he'd thrash said thieves.

[Dr Archeville]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Dead Head: Is undead, and has full Life Support, so he'd be unaffected by the pheremone spray. He'd go beat the Hazmat-suited thieves, then call in the CDC to clear the air.

 

Doktor Archeville: Would possibly be affected, and would make lewd advances on some of his female teammates. Assuming he's able to see this coming, though, he'd whip up a life support/inhibition-enhancer belt for himself, then go take down the thieves, finding some way to turn the spray against them. He'd then work on a way to reverse the effects on the city.

[Amused]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Gwendolyn would be very confused and take to studying the humans that are copulating in the streets. Once she finally saw enough to think it was really gross she'd probably help whichever supers were planning a way to stop it. Unless of course someone says that it was a dream come true for some people or something to that affect, then she'd just label it has people and their happy thoughts fufilled and then start she'd working on her fairy dust and testing it on them to see if it works or not.

 

[Peregrine]

Re: WWYCD: The Spray's The Thing...(some mature themes)

 

Peregrine - Despite being an armored hero, his armor at current does not have Life Support, an omission he'd correct on the spot. Chemistry is not one of his scientific strong suits, so he'd be out trying to perform whatever 'crowd control' is possible - which admittedly isn't much...

 

Silver Avenger Kit Masters - This would probably count against his poisons/toxins vulnerability, so it would depend on which of his Significant Others was around - the Everyone-Sees-it-But-Them-UNTIL Captain, or the Childhood-Sweetheart-Gone-Bad-VIPER Captain. Then again, maybe not...

I assume the spray effects whoever is close enough to smell it, both the wearer and others equally. Also that others nearby are not fixated particularly on the wearer.

 

Glarg: He'd rut like an animal. Leading to a lot of damaged women. (As said in topic "WWYCD: Attraction Loop", he's simply gigantic.)

 

Thena: Look out, human females! Here comes a very...interested...humaniod alien female. Horny, too.

If she gets herself back under control, she'll apport the hazmat suits off the bad guys, then apport away all the "body spray" she can find. Then wait for the effects to wear off. She might apport some of the more...kinky...couples to private places.

 

Panweesio: :rotf: He'd have the perfect solution; use the VPP for a AoE Selective Images to Smell/Taste, and make all the cops, firefighters, and other govt. types stink. Don't matter how amorous you get, a BAD smell is always a turn-off. Of course, he's doing it to free them up to do their job .

If asked, nicely, he'd shut down everyone's Smell/Taste with a big-*** AoE Darkness.
