Christopher Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 You character is just making some purchases in a local store. (If he does not needs that stuff, he does it for someone else). Suddenly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gs4We5vOTE Your character could be the cashier (in his day-job), the poor guy at the sales counter or somwhere in the back. What would he, she or it do?

Vulcan Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? Too many variables to tell. Obviously Vigil isn't the guy at the counter, el luchadoro took a moment to talk before attacking, Vigil would have been ready for him. And even in secret ID, Vigil is a world-class martial artist and wouldn't need to resort to his powers... unless the guy is a super of some sort, anyway. That leaves Vigil as one of the bystanders, and that brings up an intersting question - did el luchadoro actually slam the dude's head on the counter, or just fake it? Vigil's senory acuity would allow him to tell the difference in the sound of the impacts. At any rate, given that he didn't totally collapse after the impacts he's probably not badly hurt. And unless el luchadoro decides to push the issue, Vigil might just let him walk, especially if the luchadoro's little soliloquy gives him a pretty darn good reason to have acted the way he did. If he does push it, he'd better have real powers or he's going to discover, like that 13-year old in the other WWYCD, that acting like a supervillain isn't a game, and can get you seriously hurt - or even killed...

What about the explosion-thing-before-entering and the ostriches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? What about the explosion-thing-before-entering and the ostriches? The explosion is making an entrance. The ostriches are obvious distractions from whatever he's doing. But you raise a valid point. Just letting him go after bombing a quickie-mart isn't a good option. Once we're off camera it's on.

assault Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? The ostriches prove that he's a real supervillain. No, he probably doesn't have superpowers, but he's probably a near Batman grade martial artist, and might have some gadgets as well. And his ostriches are trained. Definitely a credible threat.

Pattern Ghost Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? I'd say most of my characters could take the lucador, but those ostriches are scary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? Beat the living crap out of El Pendejo Enmascarado and make ostrich burgers out of his "minions." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? All my characters: Wonder if I've been drugged somehow beforehand.P Pretty much ditto. I have a very clear mental image of Vitus looking down suspiciously at whatever half-eaten food he had just bought for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Re: How was it in the store? After carefully observing the situation, Primaballerina would take care of the Luchador, while Primadonna and Diva would attack the ostriches, trying to break their mind-control of the Luchador.
