WWYCD: Get Robbed...By The King


Marcus Impudite

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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. :)

Mind Control: Stand here and eat this burger. Single Command only, Custom Limitation: Must hand target a burger. Based on CON, NND. (Defense is life support, does not eat, or being vegan, or not having a digestive system). Custom Advantage: No verbal or telepathic command needed beyond offering the burger. 0 END.

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... :ugly:

The only way to catch a King is with a King

 

Well heck, by that logic, the entire party would have to take up Elvis impersonation.

 

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....

At this point Revenant slinks away, back into the shadows, hoping that nobody saw him anywhere NEAR this event @_@

I have always found those commercials scary as hell. If I saw something like that coming at me' date=' I would find something to blugeon it with or run it over with my car (and reverse and repeat) or something.[/quote'] You Yanks have it easy. 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. Time to ask Serendipity to do a little hacking...

Yeah, but just think of the comics it would've moved during the Silver days of comics back when Elvis was still the one and only true 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. :king:
