Marcus Impudite Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 It's Halloween Night in Campaign City, and your character has been invited to a costume party in the grand ballroom of a fancy hotel downtown. Even though it's Halloween, the evening thus far has been oddly uneventful (usually this is one of those nights when things get "interesting"). When you first arrive at the party, there are no obvious signs of potential trouble, but later in the evening you spot Greg Anderson (civillain ID of quasi-demonic supervillain Devilfire) dancing with his girlfriend Rhea. Greg is wearing a pirate costume and Rhea is dressed as Yeoman Rand from ST:TOS. Over by the refreshment table, a fellow who looks alot like Freakshow (see Millennium City) is clandestinely spiking the punch with a vial of luminesant green liquid while munching on one of those bat-shaped cookies. As if you don't have enough to worry about already, you then bump into Amanda from WWYCD: Bride Of The Shadow Lord dancing with a man who could only be Terror'Khan himself in human guise (Amanda is dressed as a Spanish dancer and His Spookiness is dressed up as Zorro). And on top of it all, there are plenty of innocent costumed guests who could get caught in the crossfire if things suddenly get hairy. WWYCD?

Amused Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Gwendolyn, would say that they're costumes were really nice and continue dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed-F Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Soulbarb: Oddly enough, Soulbarb will be going to a Halloween dance soonish in campaign game time (a school dance, in her normal ID.) Her DNPC boyfriend, currently a permanent spookface due to a metapharm incident, will be joining her -- pretty much it's the only time he can show his face in public these days, since unlike Soulbarb he can't turn it off. As far as what the evening's entertainment is likely to be... well, she's starting to have an inkling of a suspicion that Demon or some other cult-type organization might have a few recruits in attendance at the party. What happens next will depend largely on what they try to pull while there; she's not about to risk blowing her secret ID, and she's just starting to put some of the pieces of this particular puzzle together so doesn't really have any firm evidence, but mystic seduction and statutory rape is not exactly her idea of a kosher prank for trick-or-treat, so she's not going to sit idly by if they try what she expects them to try, either. Cerulean on the other hand is the sort that would be invited to one of these parties openly, both because he's a bit of a celebrity, and because people would tend to assume this would be the kind of thing he'd be interested in. He does practice actual working magic, after all, and he is from another dimension. All these other strange people around the dance is just par for the course as far as he's concerned; nothing to worry about. When you're a dimensional visitor, meeting strange people all the time is an occupational hazard. He will of course have a couple spells on hand to keep a lid on things; the spiked punch will get one of them to make sure it doesn't have anything more dangerous than alcohol in it, and if any of the villains look like they might cause trouble, a bit of surreptitious will-sapping should get them to settle down and enjoy the party. He'll also alert his teammates to the villains' presence, of course -- while his colleagues likely wouldn't be in attendance, certainly they could be relied upon to provide the criminals a proper escort once they leave the party...

McCoy Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Millennium use telepathy to find out what "Freakshow" is spiking the punch with. If something no more harmful than alcohol, will let it pass. If it is something less benign, will upset the punch bowl with TK then in soto voice suggest that he and "Feakshow" step ouside. Other characters will follow simular paths. Cheetah and Dolphin will have no way of telling what was added to the punch, so will err on the side of caution.

Badger Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Badger doesnt like public functions, and would definitely balk at wearing stupid costumes. He would likely make a round near the area however. Where he would likely sense the presence/evil energy of the demonic villain in question. And would sneak in to investigate. If he saw the spike puncher, he would make sure it got tipped over. To prevent anything from happening. There is a good chance if he sees Mr. Anderson gets off fairly alone. He might find a way to sneak over and pick a fight with him. (He really hate demons, and to a lesser extent vampires, Catholic upbringing you know). The rest of it he might let go. Frosty Bob- well since he has immunity to all poisons, the punch bowl wont matter to him much. And well, he will be too busy trying to get a dance with the "yeoman rand" and "female Spanish dancer" women to notice likely. He will then end up in a fight with their dates likely.

Wormhole Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Most of my characters: Basicallly, what McCoy said. Knowing Freakshow though, the contents of that vial is definately nothing so innocuous as alcohol, so dealing with him takes immediate priory. After Freakshow and his spiked punch have been ejected from the party, watch Mr. Anderson and Khan like a hawk. If they do nothing all evening but dance with their paramours, just let it go. There would be no sense in starting a fight with those two in a room full of innocent bystanders if such can be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on top of it all, there are plenty of innocent costumed guests who could get caught in the crossfire if things suddenly get hairy. WWYCD? Well, I personally don't know anything about Devilfire, but unless he's serious bad news, Penumbra would live and let live, especially if he says he'll be cool, if only for the night; if he causes trouble, he'd come down on him double-hard, once for the act and again for breaking Pen's trust. Same goes for Freakshow; Pen understands that sometimes you need to cut loose and let go of the "role". Of all of them, Terror'Khan would be the one to "worry" him least; Terror'Khan is exactly the sort of person Pen is expected to deal with in a... diplomatic fashion... by the Prince of Darkness. He might be a little bit peeved by all the 'danes around, since that means he can't cut loose himself; after a while, being "normal" gets to be a strain. Not to mention the fact that, sooner or later, something is going to set off one of these guys - probably someone hitting on their date - and then all holy heck is gonna hit the fan, and Pen will have to try and stop people with serious power without getting the place - or the people - trashed. -sigh- And I just wanted to go to a party....

I know Glarg doesn't understand costumes, and Panweesio doesn't need to wear one. That's all I can say to this WWYCD. For Amanda and Terror'Khan try this link Freakshow can be found in the Millennium City book on page 119. If you don't have the book, he's basically a punkrock-looking dude who's obcessed with slasher movies and thinks he's the "avatar of fear". Devilfire is one of my characters who I reply as on most WWYCD threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marketeer Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Blackberry would be most cross at the possibility the festivities would be disrupted. She'd keep an eye on things, and make sure that some friends with the appropriate powers received reminders of the great party she's at...

Chuckg Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Starguard -- turn the contents of the punchbowl to holy water. Dr. Pain -- excuse himself to go to the bathroom and call his team. Baron von Darien -- assuming he somehow was unrecognized by the mystic villains (he's got a very high rep), step outside, place a few phone calls to whatever Hunteds they have who don't have reps for excessive collateral damage, and then pull the fire alarm to get everybody outside.

Zeropoint Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Re: WWYCD: The Halloween Party From Hell... Special Agent Trent would do anything in his power to avoid going to a Halloween party. That's just asking for trouble. If forced to attend somehow, he'd go as a Man In Black (i.e. swap his normal sunglasses for Ray-Bans) and spend the whole evening on edge, waiting for the inevitable trouble. Given that a) there are a lot of innocents around, and this is a COSTUME party, Trent won't be arresting anyone until they do something. On the other hand, that punch bowl is going to mysteriously shatter (IPE telekinesis), spilling all the spiked punch onto "Freakshow". If possible, he'll have "his" superteam and a few PART units standing by. Even if this all goes as well as it possibly can, he's going to have a terrible time and leave with a splitting headache.
