Marcus Impudite Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 From the "that's bizarre" file... There has recently been a string of highly flamboyant daylight bank robberies in the campaign city and several surrounding cities. In all of these heists, the robber dresses up as the King from the infamous Burger King commerials, complete with the creepy-looking plastic head. Also, "The King" never speaks during any of his robberies (can't be identified by voice) and always hands the teller a clear plastic bag and a typewritten note that reads something like: HAVE POLICE SCANNER, WILL SHOOT IF SILENT ALARM TRIGGERED. EMPTY YOUR CASH DRAWER INTO THE BAG. HAVE A NICE DAY. Clearly a seasoned pro, the robber always manages to get in and out and disappear without a trace before the police can arrive and always expertly seperates and discards any dye bombs and/or homing devices from his loot. He has robbed several banks over the course of a month without getting caught, has the authorities baffled, and has made off with a sum of money in the six figures thus far. WWYCD?

incrdbil Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King Pretty much any character: analyze hsi pattern, area of operation. Check costume shops. Then..watch for the Burger King on the street inb broad daylight. He will have left a wide string of eye witnesses who will note the path he takes from the bank, escape vehicles, etc. He's the Burger King! Really, this FBI/police will catch this guy thanks to his Burger King hang up in pretty short order. The police will simply resort to an alternative code and signal so that his scanner won't do any good detecting silent alarms. And again--watch for the Burger King.

nexus Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King All Characters: As he seems to a pretty straight forward robber with a weird gimmick, treat him as such, but be more wary about the possibility of powers or odd high tech weapons since people that dress funny tend to have them for some reason.

Lethosos Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King Both the player and Queen of Spades think the King is creepy as hell on five legs. Suspect that it's the equiviant of an inside job, but brought by an outside agency (the Butt-King, as we're calling him these days, and with those burgers of his... if that's his MO. ) Realistically, several things come into play: if they know the procedures at the bank, and a good long case of the joint for speedy exits... it's very doable. Queen will more than likely to deduce that it's a very clever form of a normal robbery--but several questions remain about the getup, as that'd attract attaention everywhere. Why use a--if creepy--national icon as your disguise? The real Butt-King prolly has far more money, a great mansion, and harem of litle boys somewhere...

DataPacRat Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King Among other things, Bunny would use the power of her shiny-black Centurion credit card (black is the new platinum, which was the new gold) to purchase one or more Burger King franchises within the robber's target-area.

Badger Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King I have always found those commercials scary as hell. If I saw something like that coming at me, I would find something to blugeon it with or run it over with my car (and reverse and repeat) or something.

Marketeer Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King The only way to catch a King is with a King Blackberry would convince Bruce Campbell that he really wanted to do a promotional tour for Evil Dead 4 in campaign city right about now...

Which could be an amusing final battle sequence, really... the super team in Elvis getups going up against The Burger King, possibly enlarged to the size of your classic comic-book giant by a device he acquired with the proceeds of his robberies....

SatinKitty Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King I agree it's probably an inside job. So all my Detective Work would begin with that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never had to deal with the Smith's Crisps Gobbledock! The Specter would be confused at the sudden incompetence of the FBI, and suspect that this is an "inside job" of a different sort.

jkwleisemann Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Re: WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King As a thought, this could actually make for a mildly disturbing, if amusing, scenario. Rather than one robber, perhaps it's a variety of people, ranging from bank employees to petty crooks to random citizens, all affected by the Ebil Mind Control Chemicals that the man in the tinfoil hat on the corner swears the fast food joints put in their burgers. Of course, it would probably actually be somebody at a McD's doing this, hoping to besmirch the good (?) name of their competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
