Marcus Impudite Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Your character is walking through a wooded area near Campaign City (insert character appropriate reason here) when he/she comes upon something shocking: hidden by camouflaged netting is a large patch of marijuana plants! Who is growing theses plants isn't immediately obvious, but based on the number of plants being grown, it's a safe bet they intend to distribute. It's also clear from footprints and discarded food and beverage containers in the area that someone comes by on a regular basis to check on the illicit "crops." How does your character react to finding this near his/her city? WWYCD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... **Looks up** Champions thread. Only had one Champions character that I ever built and played. Alien brick that I called Vanguard. One of the things about Vanguard is that, while good in a fight, had no concept of Earth cultures nor even biological needs*. He would not understand the importance of something like you described. He would probably shrug his shoulders and wonder why somebody felt the need to hide green plants under a green net. He would then just move on to whatever he was doing before making the discovery. * Vanguard was more a construct and less a lifeform. He had total Life Support with the special effect that he absorbed enough ambient energy to power himself. The was before I knew about Dark Matter and Energy. Otherwise, I would have used that as a special effect of his Life Support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Vixen: Change forms, go Overgrowth (plant/wood powers). 'Talk' to the plants to find out when the tender is probably coming back. Set ambush. Nab guy, call cops. Help them in taking the plants out for evidence. Get as much media coverage as possible afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massey Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... All Characters: Absolutely nothing. Agree. My characters also don't go after jaywalkers, speeders, those who cheat on their taxes, or other non-dangerous crime. My Batman clone might call the cops, but that's about it.

Drhoz Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Vitus : *shrugs* not my problem. Anyway, if the authorities are going to complain about marijuana crops they'll want a word with his teammates - after all, we made Bangladesh's native cannabis forests (the country got it's name for a reason, people ) regrow one afternoon. A few hectares is nothing compared to 147,570 km2 Zero : Should probably do something about this. Stoned people broadcasting good vibes interferes with focused telepathy. ROVER : Would be deeply confused by all the contradictory information the mediasphere has on the subject. Would ask teammates for advice. Girl Anachronism : Help herself to some buds.

Vulcan Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Whatever dire need brought an urbanite like Vigil out into the wilds in the first place is vastly more important. Other things to do, moving along. Now if, for whatever reason, the people growing the pot turn up and start something, he will not hesitate to finish it. But that's the kind of guy he is when you hassle him.

Querysphinx Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Given where I live, first I'd have to check to see if the weed was owned by any of the local law enforcement or elected officials. Ahem: Nightwatch: Is the law, but in his time period, Weed isn't illegal. Thunder: Could care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewings Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Pretty well all of my characters: Nothing. Marijuana growing is illegal, but frankly, they've far higher priorities than a weed patch. The criminal syndicates use grow-ops anyway.

phoenix240 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... The plants are just hidden not rigged with booby traps or anything like that? Well, assuming the answer to the above is yes, then most of the characters I've played wouldn't do anything either due to lack of concern or lack of knowledge.

sinanju Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Iron Maiden, Hell's Angel, Rose Hancock, Le Fantome, and most of my other other PCs wouldn't do anything about it. Either they don't care or it just isn't a high enough priority to bother with. The Black Knight might harvest a little for his own personal use. The Dark (a Shadow-esque vigilante) would investigate enough to make sure it wasn't owned or managed by some big organized crime ring. If not, he would then forget about it. If it was, he'd use it to further his efforts at destroying said crime ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phydaux Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Quazar - He'd use his helemt radio set to access the cell phone system, place a call to Campaign City Chief of Police (he's a contact) and report the crop. Mystica - Who has time for these things when there are teenagers summoning demons all across town? Maybe if these teenagers smoked some of this marijuana then they wouldn't be rummaging through the attics of abandon houses and stumbling on forgotten spell books. Look, I'd love to stay and chat but I just got a call that a Morbane has broken into a locked vault of the Campaign City Public Library... Shadow Hunter - He'd stake out the patch and wait for the tenders to come back. Then he'd subdue them and find out who they worked for. He'd work his way up the chain to the Big Boss, and then he'd make him pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Re: Last Dance With Mary Jane... Septa - (ex)Superthief playing hero in the one foreing superheroteam allowed on american Soil (Justice Force America on Herocentral). Her main power is a staff that gives her controll and knowledge over 6 Elemets - including plants. So she can propably give you a overview of the health of them, the sub species and how to properly care for them (despite never growing them herself). If she sees an opportunity, she would not be opposed to take a sample for use. But her costume has no place to hide stuff and the press would be interested in any dirt on the team. She propably would have to report that find, unless she knows the person it belongs too and cares enough to not rat them out. Wich is unlikely at that amount. She could not wait for the owners however. When she is in strong concentrations on one element and has nothign to do, her mind tends to "drift". She could end up wandering around naked through the forrest, looking at the plants for days. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
