TURN 2 RIVALS REPORT:
Kronos Corp (SYNDROME):
Rebuild Omnidroid Factories DC 100:
=???+???=102. Bare success!
It seemed like it would be several months before the omnidroid factories would get back on operation, considering the damage and the current… "indisposition" of Syndrome.
Surprisingly, by the end of the second month Kronos Corp announced that their factories would be back in operation and began producing more Omnidroids in the near future.
Looking at the news, the repairs seem a bit shoddy and rushed, though they do the job. You wondered for a moment why that was the case, considering the amount of resources Kronos Corp has at his disposal…
Put a bounty on the Birthday Bandit DC Variable Higher the better:
=???+???=103 Great Success!
…And a few weeks later you understood why. Appearing on the news channel, newspaper, and every social media ever used, was a message from Syndrome declaring that he put an official bounty for the Birthday Bandit. For a moment you thought the guy was overreacting…
That's when you saw the amount offered.
1 freacking Billion Dollars!
That amount of money…You couldn't believe he would just offer something like that so casually! According to the comments from some anonymous workers in the company, Syndrome's accountants were deeply against that, saying it was: "a waste of resources that the company couldn't easily recover". But Syndrome just told them to shut it and went ahead with it.
Whether it is a waste of resources or not, it did have an effect on people. Everyone and their grandmas are now looking for the clown that humiliated Syndrome in public. You have even seen footage of people randomly attacking Clowns walking down the street!!!
It's clown hunting season and no one with a red nose or face paint is safe.
Thought this could represent a good opportunity for you if you dare to take the risk.
NOTE: Syndrome put a HUGE reward for the Birthday Bandit. Everyone and we mean EVERYONE is out to get it! Whoever brings Syndrome that clown will get a juicy reward! If you manage to be the lucky one, then Syndrome will give Abe the exorbitant amount of 10 INCOME. Though beware! You WILL face heavy opposition to hunt that clown, but if you do manage to achieve it…
National Action to look for the Birthday Bandit Unlocked!
DEI (DR. DOOFENSHMIRTZ):
Upgrade Norm Prime DC 60
=???+???=125. Critical Success!
The massive robot army patrolling down the streets last most was certainly something to behold, but recent footage has you equally surprised and confused.
There has been video of another one of those Normbots strolling down the street, but this one seems…different that the rest? It seems to have more protection and armament that the other robots, heck it even has tank threads!
After watching some more, it seems clear that it is that one robot that appeared in those commercial's last month. If that wasn't weird, the robot could be heard in the videos shouting in a robotic happy voice.
"These new threads are a sigh of my father's love! Yayyyy!" He shouts happily as he accidentally fires a missile from the rocket launcher installed in his shoulder…Accidentally hitting a tree.
You are just…going to ignore this.
Build a Roller coaster Transportation System. DC 100:
=???+???=104. Success Critical Success!!!
The pharmacist Doofenshmirtz continued to promote "Doofania" by announcing that he would create: "A new and revolutionary transportation system for his citizens.! Forget using those boring and antique buses! The future is now!" Or so he says in his social media.
Many were wondering where the guy was going with this, and were surprised when he announced the attempt to use roller coasters as the official form of "Doofanian" transportation?
While the idea seemed interesting and drew some interest, no one expected it to work, or to be complete anytime soon…So it was a total surprise when the following day there was a grand reveal of it!!!
At first sight, it just seemed like someone build a roller coaster tracks all around the city, and it isn't that far from the truth. It does seem like an attraction from an amusement park, but there are stations all around the city ready to receive people to enter the trains.
There are several tracks installed, with several routes planned that can be switched with time to allow one to get quickly where they wish to, allowing for the people to have quickly travel times.
The trains used are nothing like what you would see in an amusement park. They are bigger, more streamlined and from what you could tell with several safety measures so the users can enjoy the ride without an issue.
This project has attracted much attention from the people, motivating them to visit "Doofania" just to experiment this new marvel of engineering.
Create Doof TV (DC: 80)
??? + ??? = 121. Success!
A gorgeous white haired woman in a fancy dress appeared on the news today, trying her best to look excited, though there was a clear sense of exasperation to her (at least to you. Maybe you were just experienced...)
"Hello, everyone. It is my pleasure to announce that Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz -"
"Remember to remind them I'm not a pharmacist!" A voice called offscreen, almost certainly said doctor.
"... who isn't a pharmacist, has managed to get his own private TV network off the ground. For just 1 dollar a month, you can get all the news and entertainment of the best part of the Tri State Area. Programs include Norm's News, Watch out for Der Kinderlumper-" The woman listed off a variety of wacky sounding programs, managing to keep a straight face. It was kind of impressive. Even Homer would raise an eyebrow at some of these proposed programs.
Nonetheless, Doof's Supporters seemed willing to try it out at least, considering the low price.
Use an Inator: Clown-Inator:
=30
Things seemed to go very well with the pharmacist, but out of nowhere, all the clothing in 3 state areas and nearby seemed to become…clown themed?
You still don't get why, and Frink doesn't seem to be able to come with an answer when asked, but apparently every and any piece of clothing that was in and around the city suddenly became pieces of clown costume?
There's been a serious uproar from the people living there, complaining that all their shoes became so big and their makeup are just big red noses now. You are surprised to hear even threads in the textile factories got affected by this!
You suppose it must do something with the Birthday Bandit hunting but for the life of you, you don't get why he would do something like that?
Note: Doofenshmirtz has hit his city by accident with the Clown-Inator! All citizens of Doofania must go the next turn dressed as clowns! Next turn, any diplomacy Action Doof takes gets a -10 debuff.
THE U.S GOVERNMENT
Have Condorman Combat Crime DC: 60
??? + ??? = 71 Success!
After that crime wave, ol' Uncle Sam decided enough was enough! They had to get involved! More specifically….
CONDORMAN!
He looked kind of goofy, and he kind of was (he seemed rather eager to talk to the Villains and was stumbling about when he was in combat), but he got results, so that's all that matters, you suppose.
Though there's definitely something annoyingly hypocritical about the Government having sponsored Superheroes with that SRA thing floating about!
Then again, what else is new?
Renew contract with Xanatos Enterprises DC 50:
=???+???=101. Critical Success!!!
Speaking of the government, just a few weeks ago you in the news Kent Brockman talk about how the Government got a new deal for a contract with that Xanatos guy that Burn's documents mentioned.
Honestly, you are not sure what to think of the guy, is he really is dangerous as that old cheap stake makes it sound? At least you can admit he has an amazing beard!!!
According to the news, good old Uncle Sam will collaborate with the guy to not only help rebuild the building and other structures damaged by the recent criminal spree but work in dealing with "Other problems that seem to plague the nation". And that we should be expecting great things soon.
You are not sure if you should be happy or worried?
Get ??? Out of ??? Dc:95
Roll: 64+??= 78 Failure!
For the past few days there've been reports of gunfire around Springfield and people (especially you) have been wondering why and it seems today you're got your answer. Reports have come of government agents being treated for wounds dealt by bullets, "traps'', wild animals, and...arrows?!
Now, the agents didn't stay at the hospital for long(most likely due to the angry mob forming outside), but it seems they stayed just long enough for the lead agent(a tan beanpole of a man with a flower pinned to his lapel, oddly enough) to get a arrow removed from his ass; as well as treating some of the troops more serious injuries before running/ being ran out of Springfield.
The most interesting part is the doctors overhearing some of the agents muttering about getting their assess' handed to them by some Slack-Jawed Yokel's…
Drakktech (SHEGO):
Lobby to Repeal the SRA DC: 35
??? + ??? = 111
You decide to watch the news. Huh? A blue man is a suit is appearing before Congress?
How ridiculous! Who ever heard of technicolored people!?
…Wait….
Regardless, the man seems pensive, and you can tell from the Congresspeople's expressions they are not used to this from him.
"You know, I recently learned an unexpected aspect of myself. Something… I didn't believe I cared about. But when I learned it, I was forced to confront something deep within. But this isn't about me! Not really. This is about those young Supers who we are denying their heritage. To be allowed to express who they are without fear, without being told to stuff within a box! Can you, Congress, truly sleep well at night knowing what you are doing? What if one of YOUR children developed powers? Would you still be so willing to stand by the SRA? I would think not! So I stand before you, humbly requesting you repeal this ridiculous, outdated law and bring us towards a new future!"
There is a smattering of murmuring amongst those assembled before someone starts clapping. Someone else joins in. So on and so on until it's uproarious!
"Heh. Nothing could ruin th-!" The blue man began.
"OBJECTION!"
(Syndrome: Repel Shego Anti SRA Attempts
WHAT THE HECK!? DC: 60
??? + ??? = 113
(Contested Diplo Roll: 111(Shego) VS 113 (Syndrome)= Syndrome Bare Success!)
In walked… by JFK's necktie, were those Disney Characters!?
"Alice, please contain yourself." The clear leader by how she held herself, a pale lass with a yellow and blue dress requested bluntly.
"You never let me have fun, Snow." The smallest of the 4, a blonde in a Victorian era blue and white dress, sulked. The other two blondes, adorned in pink and blue respectively, weren't doing much yet, but they looked a little reluctant to be there.
"What is the meaning of this!?" The blue man bellowed.
"August 8th, 1967." The leader (seriously, what was Snow White doing here!?) Said.
"Wha-"
"That's the date of Gazerbeam fighting A Supervillain Gang in Los Angeles. 100 injured, 5 dead, hundreds in property damage. The next day, August 9th, Blazestone vs. The Anni-hilation, even higher casualties and property damage. I could go on and on, pulling out fact after fact, but you get the point. Super powered beings are dangerous. The SRA is a necessary factor in life to keep them in check, lest they destroy us all." Snow finished her own speech. There was no joy in her words, no energy. It was kind of creepy really.
"Wha- Why - You- WHAT WOULD A BUNCH OF TOONS KNOW ANYWAYS!?" the blue man sputtered.
"Must people always play the Toon Card?" the Blonde in pink muttered to herself.
"I dunno, it's kind of funny. If a bunch of Toons can outplay you, what does that say about you?" Alice shrugged, drawing.
"WHY YOU LITTLE-! I, DR. DRAKKEN, WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED SO!" the finally identified blue man blew his top, slamming his fist into his podium.
"WELL I, ALICE, FIND DISRESPECTING YOU AMUSING!" Alice shouted back.
"PORKY IN WACKYLAND WAS THE BETTER ALICE IN WONDERLAND ADAPTATION!"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!"
"ORDER! THERE WILL BE ORDER!" Someone screamed as all hell broke loose in the lobby.
Eventually things got so disruptive everyone had to be thrown out.
Man, and people said the news were boring…
Stamp Down Doof Support
DC: 70
=??? + ???=65 Bare Failure!
Failure!
Meanwhile, That Ninja monkey guy tried to take to the streets to dissuade people from supporting Doofenshmirtz.
"Seriously, you'd have to be an utter fool to support that man!" He insisted in one filmed video.
"...So you're calling me a fool?"
"Well, perhaps. But you could always change your mind!"
Needless to say, even after he changed his approach people were generally not receptive towards changing their minds. Many continued to support Doof, Ranging from having legitimate belief in his promises to just finding him amusing.
Troll Syndrome on Social Media: (94):
Shego took to social media today sometime after the announcement of Birthday Bandit's bounty.
'Seriously? Not gonna tell you how to spend your money - Mostly because this is hilarious - But isn't this a little ridiculous?' she tagged him.
'Don't you have anything better to do?!' he responded.
'Eh, considering you're wasting a billion on a clown, do you? Not very bussiness savvy, Pines.'
The two went back and forth like this for awhile, until Shego got bored and logged off. Syndrome proceeded to make a fool of himself by continuing to at her for about an hour afterwards.
Springfield:
Burns:
Search for Medicine for ???: DC Higher the Better:
=82(Roll) +???=98 Great Success.
Since Mona's attempt at tracking Burns you had been paying close attention to the city, ready to act at the first sight of your former squad mate. Unfortunately you haven't been able to answer fast enough when the opportunity arises.
There had been sights of Burns and Smithers all around town and as much as you tried you couldn't catch that snake. He didn't seem to stay long enough in one place for the police to detain him.
He seemed to be searching for something, but for the life of you, you couldn't figure out what it was. At one time, He and Smithers tried to rob a Drugstore! The attempt failed but still, you have no idea why they would try something like that.
Last time you heard anything about him was 3 weeks after the warehouse exploded, when someone the Officer Wiggum reported to you, they had sights of Smithers entering and breaking into the late defunct Dr Nick Rivera apartment.
When the police officers went to check out the place, they found the place ransacked, the place turned upside down, and while they were able to tell that Smithers stole something, but they have no idea what it could be.
Note: Burns has found ???. He has avoided the effects of ??? and has managed to avoid receiving further maluses.
Find a New Hideout DC 80
=46(Roll) +27(Burns Intrigue)+22(Grimes Jr.)+2(Loyalty) -5(??)=92. Success!
The raid on Nick Rivera's apartment has been the last time you got any news about them. A few weeks had gone by, and you were starting to feel antsy, not hearing anything about him was not a good sign.
Burns has managed to find a new hole to hide, you could tell without a doubt. Looking for him now is going to be harder than ever, of this, you were sure as hell.
Find ???: DC: Higher the better:
=42(Roll)+27(Burns Intrigue) +???-5(??)= 84. Great Success!!!
You felt a chill go down your spine one day. You have a feeling Burns just managed to achieve something great for him. You have no idea why you have this feeling or what could it be but you don't like this. At. All.
Note: Burns has managed to ???!!!
Random Event Roll:72
You were hungry after all the excitement of these past few months. You figured you could use something filling but simple. So getting some doughnuts it was!
However, you were surprised to see Wiggum there... Well, not really, you were surprised to see him *crying* there. He was always happy around doughnuts!
"What in tarnation is the problem?" You asked in bafflement.
"Oh Simpson, it's terrible, just terrible! That doughnut thief you mentioned keeps beating us!"
"The Doughnut thief is re- Uh, I mean, oh dear!" You gasped. Thankfully, he didn't seem to notice your slip up as you sigh and storm inside.
"Wait! Simpson! It's a ghost! SIMPSONNNNN!"
As you storm inside, you notice things flying about and hear some chuckling. You get out your cane and after waiting for a moment use your old man instincts and...
WHACK!
"Gah! Watch it dude! Ow!" A voice complained. That voice sounded... Young...
As you looked to see... A teenager? But also a duck... Odd.
Regardless of this oddity, Wiggum and a few other cops suddenly burst in, a few tackling her.
"GAH! HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU PUT THOSE HANDS! I KNOW MY RIGHTS!" The teenage duck balked, squirming.
"I can't believe it Simpson! You did it! You have our eternal gratitude!" Wiggum patted you on the back.
As the Duck girl was carted off, folding her arms and scowling but clearly scared, you weren't sure if you were really that happy even as Wiggum vowed to do whatever you requested….
REWARD: Wiggum and the police officers of Springfield have found themselves indebted to you for saving their precious doughnuts! They give a +10 bonus for finding Burns.
National Action to talk to the duck girl in juvenile detention.
