A young woman is seeing her boyfriend for the last time before leaving for a six month internship in Venice. She asks him, "Would you like me to bring home something for you?"
 
"Yeah," he replies. "Can you bring me home an Italian girl?"
 
"Excuse me?"
 
"I've always thought that Italian girls were super hot," he continues. "So if you could bring one home with you, I think the three of us could have a lot of fun together."
 
"Okay," she says, "if that's what you really want."
 
So she leaves for Venice the next morning, and the months fly by. The internship is a rousing success. She returns home, and her boyfriend picks her up from the airport. As they're driving home, has asks her, "So, before you left, you asked if there was anything I wanted you to bring back with you...."
 
"I remember," she says, nodding her head.
 
"And...?"
 
"Well, I tried my hardest to do exactly what you asked me to do," she said. "But it's going to be at least another month before I find out whether it's a girl." 

It’s not exactly a business (Let’s not hear the dissenting opinions.) but a Temple or Church of some sort is generally a part of small town life.
  You’re also missing some sort of Healer or Doctor’s office.

Well, if they were crudité, they'd fit well in this thread.

It’s a nice setup but you may end up finding the “every 90 days” part too constricting for long term “chase around the world” adventures.  Possibly renewing twice a year on the Solstice and Equinox or once a year on the anniversary may be easier to work around.   Just an idea.
    Good luck on the game.

Lady, are you crying?
Do the tears belong to me?
Did you think our time together was all gone?
 
Lady, you've been dreaming
I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you
Our time has just begun
 
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined
Became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
 
Lady, are you happy?
Do you feel the way I do?
Are there meanings that you've never seen before?
 
Lady, my sweet lady
I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never ever loved before
 
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined
Became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
 
Lady, are you crying?
Do the tears belong to me?
Did you think our time together was all gone?
 
Lady, my sweet lady
I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you
Our time has just begun

Had an uncle named Matthew
He was his father's only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
He was his mother's pride and joy
 
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
 
And all the stories that he told me
Back when I was just a lad
All the memories that he gave me
All the good times that he had
 
Growin' up a Kansas farm boy
Life was mostly havin' fun
Ridin' on his Daddy's shoulders
Behind the mule, beneath the sun
 
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
 
Well, I guess there were some hard times
And I'm told some years were lean
They had a storm in forty-seven
A twister came and stripped them clean
 
He lost the farm and lost his family
He lost the wheat and lost his home
But he found a family Bible
Faith as solid as a stone
 
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
 
So he came to live at our house
And he came to work the land
He came to ease my Daddy's burden
And he came to be my friend
 
So, I wrote this down for Matthew
And it's for him the song is sung
Ridin' on his Daddy's shoulders
Behind the mule, beneath the sun
 
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
 
Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
Blue is just a Kansas summer sky

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
 
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
 
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
 
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
 
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
 
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I've gotta tell you
But I know I've gotta give it a try
 
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game
 
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun are
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at
Your eyes like a spotlight
 
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness at the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well, it's nothing 'til I give it to you
 
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
 
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
 
But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Domo arigato. 

I just steal ‘em.   Do you need an editor for a big city newspaper?  There’s the history’s for Perry White and J.J.J. on their comic company’s websites.  Not realistic enough?  Look up Ben Bradley on Wikipedia, he was the editor of the Washington Post during Watergate. 
      Do you need a soldier or a cop?  Comics, movies, TV and history are full of them.   I like to use obscure stuff and go whole hog.  I saw a bad movie that starred Tommy Lee Jones as the Commander of a squadron of Apache helicopters.  (Fire Birds)  Soon after my Star Wars campaign had a new Commander for its B-wing squadron.
     Check out the episode of Big Bang Theory where Wolowitz is the DM for their D&D game.  The actor is a very good mimic and breaks out celebrity voices for all the NPC’s.   You don’t have to go that far, but I find that casting a real person in the role gives me an immediate grasp of what they sound, look and behave like.
        Good luck.

Sorry I didn't know that mechs did count for combat piloting if I had know that I wouldn't have made a post. I hope that you can forgive me for not having the knowledge about all the details that isn't in the manuals yet

If it was they’d all be wearing masks.

Don't forget Destiny.  There's always a Destiny, according to Joe Bob Briggs.

Let me look in the Hero System Book of Templates. Ah...page 15, "Immovable Man", the template version of The Blob. He has got this power: "Clinging (80 STR), Limted Power (Only to resist being moved, -1/2)" 24 Active Points, 16 Real Points. He also has this power: "Knockback Resistance -20m, Unified Power (Reflection, -1/4)" 20 Active Points, 16 Real Points. 

They say that Prudence, Faith, Charity, Hope, and Temperance, are virtues...except when they get together as Friday is 'Ladies Night'. 

Yo mama so dumb, she thinks the Fourier series is a show on Netflix.

That only means he wouldn’t be hit.  It doesn’t make the two guards fire into each other.

“Writers fiat” it’s also sometimes called “Holding the stupid ball”.  That’s the trope where a giant ball of stupidity seems to pass from one character to another like in the game Wonder Ball.  From character to character because without them acting in a clueless or out of character manner the whole plot falls apart.
 
   🎼The Wonder Ball goes round and round-To pass it quickly, you are bound-If you’re the one who holds it last-The game for you has quickly passed-And...You...Are...Out!🎶

Not to mention what Mr. Barnes went through.
