Snake Pit: ??? in Gridlocked | A Disney Villains Victorious CK2 Style Quest

[X] [Memories] Blank Slate. The only thing you remember about yourself right now is how to use your reality splitting ability and a desire to use it to for personal gain. But a quick glance at the suit you're wearing makes you think you were some kind of supervillain? Pick this for more freedom.
[X] [Timeline A] The historic Hollywood sign.
[X] [Timeline B] Dig through the dumpster to see if you can find anything. (Loot Roll)

Depending on how old this dumpster is, who knows what the hell kind of Toon-stuff we could find tossed in it.
 
Looks like San Fransokyo is in the lead right now. Nice. There's a lot of fun stuff to do on that side of the States in general.

Looks like the voting has come to a conclusion. Ending it here.
 
You could leaf through the synonyms for "Coil" or something similarly snake-ish.

I'm partial to Twine but I don't expect other people to take that name seriously.
Since he's wearing A giant Snake Body Suit and he's super thin and boney, can I recommend "Boney Snake"?

Or... Snakey McSnake Man
 
Cobra, Adder, Anaconda, Mamba, Rattlesnake, Boa Constrictor, Python, etc
 
Prologue 1.2
As you exit the dumpster, you see what you recognize as the Golden Gate bridge… except it looks like it was designed differently, inspired by Japanese culture instead?

Either way, you're glad to be out of the smelly dumpster - in this timeline at least. In the other, you're meticulously digging through trash while trying to avoid the ambient smell. Mostly paper and recyclables, empty food containers so far.
Encounter Roll = 32
You continue to stroll out of the alleyway that your dumpster was in, continuing onto the sidewalk on a bright sunny day. That dream you had of being shot and the amnesia was put to the back of your mind for now, and you feel pretty good.

As you continue to stroll down the sidewalk, you get a lot of strange looks from people as you pass them.

Intrigue: What's their deal?
DC 40
19+??-10 = ??
Bare Failure

Trying to figure out what their deal is, you stop in the middle of the sidewalk, in front of a diner. As your stomach grumbles in hunger you walk in but then pause in realization.

Ah. Right. Forgot you don't have any money. All you have is your skin-tight bodysuit.



Your bodysuit probably doesn't make you look like a friendly sort.

You look around and the noise in the diner has quieted as the patrons all notice your entrance, some looking shocked while others have begun pulling out their phones.

Diplomacy: Don't be suspicious
DC 75
36+??-10-10=??
Critical Failure

The cashier opens the register and yells "Wait wait wait, take the money, just don't hurt us!"

[] [Timeline A] Sweet, free money!
-[] Write In: What/How to do next?
[] [Timeline A] Attempt to rectify the situation.
-[] Write In: What/How to do next?
[] [Timeline A] Something Else.
-[] Write In:
[] [Timeline A] Drop this timeline (Pick 2 options for other Timeline)

While the other you ended up in an awkward situation at a diner, the version of you in the dumpster found a few things that look valuable.
Loot Roll = 57, 25, 87
After you dug through some envelopes and looked through some of the more odorless bags, you found a raggedy looking baseball cap with a logo on the front you don't recognize.


While it isn't much it could help to conceal your identity a little bit. Especially useful considering how it seems like your lack of appropriate attire would be a problem.

But after a few more minutes of searching and digging you ended up finding something that could actually be valuable: someone had thrown away an ugly looking fanny pack. While it definitely wouldn't be stylish, it would be useful because you didn't have any pockets on your suit.

You've pretty much looked for as much as you could find in here, so it's probably time to do something else.

[] [Timeline B] Take off the bodysuit. You only have long johns and an undershirt but being nearly naked is better than being mistaken for a supervillain.
-[] Write In: How/What to do next?
[] [Timeline B] Chill in the dumpster for a while. Always nice to have a backup option.
[] [Timeline B] Drop this timeline (Pick 2 options for other Timeline) No. (A/N: This is a freebie)

Man... ALT!Coil is not having a good time at the moment, granted that's mostly because of his total lack of awareness and the fact he's wearing a bodysuit a super villain would wear in a town crawling with them.

So begs the question, do we think we can talk our way out of this or risk taking money. Either way i suggest in TL B we stay in the garbage just to be safe, unless we want to streak or try and to create a makeshift hobo disguise
 
[X] [Timeline A] Something Else.
-[X] Try to diplomatically resolve the situation. Pull off your mask and shout "Sorry! I'm not actually here to rob you. I...uh, I'm a cosplayer! I was just looking for a place to eat!" Sigh. "Sorry for the confusion, I've had a really terrible day."

[X] [Timeline B] Take off the bodysuit. You only have long johns and an undershirt but being nearly naked is better than being mistaken for a supervillain.
-[X] Tie it around your waist - if nothing else, you might have use for the material.
-[X] Walk in the opposite direction of the diner, see what you can find.
--[X] In particular, look for newspapers or magazines that could fill you in about when/where you are.
 
Eh, Don't know what is the situation in this timeline of DVV........

i Say we continue in timeline a, to see what hapens, but try to disuade the situation.

We could maybe use the bootom part of the usuit as pants, and put on the cap. in tiemline b, and Look for money or something.
 
Lets keep Timeline A. Just Sit down, wait for the Cops to come. And tell the truth. We have no idea what happened or who we were and we woke up in a dumpster in this strange gimpsuit.
 
The thing we need most right now is information. There seems to be at least something of a cape scene if the mere appearance of a costumed man was enough for people to jump to robbery, but what does that really mean? What sort of heroes or cops are around? Let's take full advantage of our disposable timelines to get as much information as we can about the city.

Treat it like this is a robbery, and basically do all the things we shouldn't. Dramatic monologuing, wasting a whole lot of time, and being way too theatrical. All the while take notes about how people are reacting. What's the average response time from the police? Are there any active capes in town, and if so, what are their abilities? Do they have an equivalent to the PRT over here? Let's grandstand until the cops or the capes show up, see if we can get some notes, and then drop the timeline. Remain in the dumpster in the meantime. We can deal with the humiliation as long as we play it safe.
 
Oh sweet! A San Fransokyo Ninjas hat! You think we'll run into them in this?



While they might not be actual ninjas in this story, its still good to support the local team!
