Wormhole Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Morty the inept mugger is an incompetent minor crime played for comic relief in the campaign. Every week, he always mugs (or rather tries to mug) someone that in retrospect he should've left well enough alone. Last week, he made the mistake of accosting a local Martial Artist who teaches self-defense classes at the YWCA and was lucky to get off with just a blackeye and a couple of teeth knocked out. This week, he's at it again, even though he'd probably be better off hanging it up and getting a nice safe McJobâ„¢. This time, as he accosts and demands money from a man passing his alley, the would be mark produces a cylindrical metal object from his pocket and says, "Mode: cryogun, Setting: carbon freeze." Sure enough, the cylinder whirs and takes the shape of the specified weapon. The stranger points, fires, and does indeed carbon freeze Morty (yes, very much like Han in Empire Strikes Back). WWYCD?

Metaphysician Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... Most of my characters would open by inquiring/determining whether Morty was just killed, or given the description, incapacitated until thawed. If the latter, and the guy isn't a recognized villain, they'd thank him for his restraint and take the poor sap in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... Queen of Spades would like to inquire wether this is pernament or not; if it isn't, she'd thank him for at last stopping an embarrasment to any criminal, apparently for real. If it isn't reversable, then she'd have to ask the Freezer to come with her to the police quietly and perhaps we can work something out that's not too bad. If he refuses, one last warning, and then play with her Taser Fists on the schlub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... I am going to play like it is the carbon freezing process from Star Wars. Badger: HAHAHAHA. Umm, do undo that carbon freezing stuff, so we can take the poor fool to jail. (then possibly offer the new guy a job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewings Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... After determining that the process is reversible, most of my characters would basically ask if he colud be left that way until shortly before his trial.

Hermit Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... Astro-Knight: "That is just cool, uhm, scuse me, but he IS alive in there right?" After finding out he is, AK would politely ask for Morty to be reverted so he could deliver the incompetent to the police where he'd be safer. Gaze: checks to make sure there is a mind, "So he lives, entombed within a reflection of himself. That is well. Unshackle him so I may bring him before the lady's scales." Max Thunder: Check for signs of life and ask if the man was still alive, be amazed, "Do you know how useful that could be in preserving life? Cyrogenics has nothing on it... would you mind coming to the university with me? I'm sure one of the professors would love to see that... oh, and we better do something about Morty to." He'd be sheepish at having forgotten the last. Recluse: "So, ah, mister carbonite sir, is he okay?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garou Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... Grizzly "Uh, hi. Wow. So, he's still alive and the process is reversible, right?" Once confirmed that this is the case "Great. He's probably easier to carry this way. Can you come down to the local precinct with me an unthaw him there?" If the process is irrevocable, then Grizzly is going to have to try and put a stop to it. Harrowed just needs to know if the perp is dead or alive. Alive means he has to take him to the precinct and the guy can come along to unthaw him. Dead means that the perp has to go to the morgue - but it was clearly a case of self-defence, even if it was a little extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure enough, the cylinder whirs and takes the shape of the specified weapon. The stranger points, fires, and does indeed carbon freeze Morty (yes, very much like Han in Empire Strikes Back). WWYCD? Glarg: He wouldn't understand anything of what happened. I'd pull out my "Glarg Acts Like Glarg" list for this one. It's a list of things Glarg might do, random roll. If it's possible, that's what he does, if not, I reroll. 1-35 is "Stand there". Thena: Ask if Morty's alive. If yes, try and convince guy to reverse right now. If he won't, ask questions of the guy to find out as much about the reverser as possible, then TP away w/Morty to put him safe, then XDM around to find dimension can get Morty unfroze. If Morty's dead, TP guy to nearest place she thinks will hold him, then TP herself and Morty to cops and tell what's happened. Panweesio: A mugger got done in by the victim? GOOD! Panweesio wouldn't even pause; Morty's dead (it seems), and it's time to go deal with crime, evil, etc. (self-defense isn't a crime in Panweesio's POV, no need to arrest/detain anyone over that).

Not a Psych Lim. The effects of being really, REALLY stupid. I made the list 'cause I was always going "OK Glarg doesn't understand what's happening. What's he do?" till I said "I'll make a list!"

st barbara Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Re: WWYCD: Morty the Mugger never learns... Let's see. "St Barbara" waits for Morty to be unfrozen then interviews him and asks for details. Assuming that our friend who froze Morty hasn't struck again she merely keeps an eye out for any future activities by him (or her). When he strikes next she might try to find him and have a quiet chat concerning his motives, methods, relationship with the local authorities etc. Meanwhile advise Morty to find some other (more honest) line of business !

Vitus admires the ice block, and compliments the victim on his device "I used to have a Wand of Wonder that could do things like that. Of course usually it would do something else entirely. But that's because it was a son-of-a-bitch" Then cart the popsicle off to City Hall - if they can't thaw him out at least they can use him as a Public Art Installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
