What Jeremy's Been Up To
Jeremy Johnson was a laid back guy. He had to be, to compensate for his girlfriend's manic whims. That quality is what had him appointed manager of an entire Slushee Dog before he was 18. He excelled at dealing with the madness that she and her brothers got up to. So it really wasn't any sort of issue for him to deal with the eccentricities of the newest Slushee Dog employee.
He was much less practiced, however, in the art of dodging, which is why he was currently covered from head to toe in mustard and horseradish sauce.
"Peridot, please turn off the Slushee machine?" he asked calmly as the adorable green gremlin cackled atop the aforementioned device. "We need to talk about your repairs."
"Yes! Praise me! With this 'Slushee Machine' that I, the great and lovable Perdiot have retooled, we will be able to finally end the Bueno Nacho menace, once and for all!"
"That-" Jeremy opened and closed his mouth, not quite sure how to respond to that proclamation. Bueno Nacho was certainly a menace, but there was only one left in the entire tri-state area, and it was half a state away from their current location. In fact, Jeremy was at least 80% sure that peridot was a space alien, how did she even learn about Bueno Nacho in the first place.
"That's good," Jeremy began. Yelling never helped, and it wasn't a great strategy as a manager to put an employee down when they clearly needed help and guidance. But he also needed to make sure that this behavior stopped. "But we need the Slushee machine to make slushees. We can't do that with what you've done to it."
"Of course you can!" Peridot protested, hopping off the machine and spinning a few dials to quiet it. She pressed a sequence of buttons too fast for Jeremy to catch and then suddenly, a Slushee was being poured into a paper cup. "There you go! It's meat and Maple syrup flavored!"
Jeremy blinked "Maple syrup?" he asked, uncertain what sort of alien tastebuds convinced Peridot that this was a good idea.
"Just like on Camp Pining hearts!" Peridot gushed. "They loved maple syrup!"
"Were they Canadian?" Jeremy asked with a sneaking suspicion.
"They were! Why, do Americans not like Maple syrup? Steven put it on his breakfast all the time?" Peridot asked, nervously.
"That's..." Jeremy paused, not wanting to give the new alien employee the wrong idea. "We can't just add new flavors and functions to the Slushee machine," Jeremy explained instead. "Slushee Dog is a franchise. Part of the appeal of Slushee Dog is that no matter which Slushee Dog in America you go to, the menu items will always be the same, and the décor and layout will always be similar as well. The familiarity is a large part of what makes Slushee Dog successful. That's why I need you to undo your repairs to the Slushee machine. Even if you did improve it, the changes that you made mean that it's less familiar for the customers, which is a problem for our business model." Jeremy explained.
"Oh." Peridot replied, her face falling as she realized she messed up.
"Don't worry, you'll do better next time," Jeremy reassured her. "This is your first time working for Slushee Dog. You're smart. I'm sure that you'll pick up all the tricks in no time flat!"
Peridot smiled up at him, tears lining her eyes. "Thank you, Jeremy Johnson. You're a good friend."

Y'know, it occurs to me that it's kinda fitting to have the Probabilitor-inator fire off next turn. Because next turn is the months of Jan/Feb, ie the time when people are making and following through with New Year's Resolutions. And with the Probabilitor-Inator, the people who managed to accomplish what they resolved to do (succeed on their rolls) get rewards far beyond what they might get normally, while those who are unable to complete what they set out to do (fail their rolls) suffer a penalty for breaking their Resolution.
What I'm saying is, by the sheer chance of when we happened to roll this effect we might have accidentally activated a holiday-themed Inator.

Drakktech
[ ] Release microfusion cells
DC 150
71+24+28+36+30(???)=189
Spectacular Success
Ongoing collaborations with Khan Industries have resulted in the creation of the Microfusion cell, a revolutionary energy storage device that uses a miniaturized and reversible fusion process to store immense amounts of energy in devices as small as a vehicle engine. The devices promise to massively simplify energy chains, making both fusion power and renewables more practical as well as providing near-limitless backup power once installed. Industry experts are describing the new tech as nothing short of miraculous, with many speculating how Shego and the Tiger of Cape Suzette managed such an incredible technological leap. Drakktech has expressed hope the devices can be miniaturized further.
Khan Industries
[ ] Offer to build fusion plants in California and Nevada
DC 100
50+35+40+6=131
Respectable Success
After months of meetings with the FERC, Khan Industries has taken multiple contracts to build their new revolutionary power plants near major metropolitan areas. Several major cities have taken the offer, greatly reducing their need for fossil fuel or other sources of power… as well as greatly increasing profits for Khan himself.
Richard Martinez
[ ] Run for president
DC ???
85+36+25+40 (Xanatos Backing)+30 (SRA stance popularity)=216
Outstanding Success
The presidential elections wrapped up this year with Richard Martinez taking the lead by a comfortable margin, having secured quite a lot of votes due to his stance on the hottest issue of the season- the Superhero Relocation Act. Martinez has promised to repeal the act as soon as he is able and implement a far more moderate program in its place, offering funding to government-sponsored heroes once again as well as schooling for up and coming heroes. With the honeymoon period in full swing and public opinion in his favor, it seems likely his plans will come to fruition.
ENCOM
[ ] Release AI assistants
DC 120
100+56+58+34+8+15 (???)=271
Unprecedented Critical Success
ENCOM made international headlines with their successful release of their new AI assistant utilizing patented Personal Applied Technology able to predict consumer needs with unerring accuracy. Known as 'Pat', the technology was originally designed to be utilized in smart houses, but the digital assistant is versatile enough to be used on personal computers across the country. While the AI is not able to pass the Turing test, numerous reports indicate that it is very close, and can even hold a reasonable conversation with a user. Bakaemono Corp has offered their congratulations and expressed public interest in collaboration on projects in the future.
Chief Cleaver
[ ] Investigate the death of Alonso Hawk
DC ???
72+28+24+4=128
Great Success
The discovery of Alonso Hawk, noted land magnate, dead on Franklin Avenue has sent shockwaves throughout Southern California. Recently promoted Chief Cleaver launched an investigation into the death of Alonso Hawk and, after several weeks of intense police work, came up with a conclusion he is absolutely certain of. The murder was done by a toon! The method of death was simply too absurd for anyone else to have accomplished it. After some more investigation into who was near the Hollywood Hotel at the time of death, the chief realized something rather unfortunate. Only one figure had both the motive to attack the known ally of Mayor Doom and the means with which to commit it. A sample of hair was found at the scene, there is no alibi, and the truth is clear. The perpetrator was none other than ex-chief Bonkers Bobcat! Having checked the evidence multiple times, this is something of which Cleaver was certain!
You however… have doubts.

Judge Doom
[ ] Establish Indestructible Inc.

Decent Success
Judge Doom, utilizing a portion of Cloverleaf's pre-existing public works infrastructure, has established an organization dedicated to damage control and cleaning up after metahuman fights, in the interest of taking financial burdens off of superheroes. While the gesture is expected to cut into his bottom line, it has also engendered a good deal of respect from the metahuman community and its supporters. Doom said in a prepared and archetypically creepy press conference that "It pains me that the fickle Dr. Doofenshmirtz couldn't find it in his heart to assist in a charitable endeavor such as this. Alas, it seems as if the superhero community has moved… outside of his interests."

Spectacular Success
Bakaemono has taken efforts to increase the sphere of influence of the Zaibatsu overseas, bringing in companies such as Yao Federated from Hong Kong and Bushido Dynamics in Japan into the fold. Pacific shipping is predicted to increase over the coming months as new supply lines are established and major electronics providers align product lines.

[ ] Sokyo Capes Attacked by 'Monsters'
DC N/A
Your newly established reports from San Fransokyo have it that recent months have seen an increasing number of attacks by what survivors have described as 'monsters' ranging from flying bat-creatures to some sort of electric snake. A handful of disappearances are presumed related. The 'monsters' seem to target only Capes, but what if any pattern exists beyond that is unclear. This isn't very relevant to you right now, but if you wish to have more to do with California at a later date, this seems like something you'd want to look into.

Great Success
DoofOS has been acting up again, with users reporting glitches left and right as well as corrupted, if not outright missing, files. The incident has led to a small, but still noticeable, migration of users from DoofOS back to other systems. You're either going to need to patch whatever these holes are or find some other solution quick, unless you want people abandoning your system in droves. Maybe you could get your AI to do it?

Guys, I'm dropping the Quest now.
I'm sorry, I promise it has nothing to do with the Writing, it's excellent. I'm just sick and tired of our continuous failing while our Enemies get nothing but WINWINWINWINWIN.
Again, I blame nobody here for this, especially not @Made in Heaven and the other Writers, it's just how the Dice roll and I accept that. But as fun as this was, I'm moving on. Maybe I'll come back one day, but I don't know.
Goodbye.

So. Can we do a quick offer of sanctuary to those Gargoyles who might be affected?
I see that more of a benefit to the Quest though, considering that
- These other villains should really be treated more like other players and not necessarily enemies.
- We compete with them, but they dont really attack us if we dont give them reason
- Case in point, we've never suffered an unprovoked direct attack other than a negligible background one from that Trash Toon.
- Liz and that other dude dont count since it wasn't actually an attack, and more of an unfortunate choice of battle location
- We compete with them, but they dont really attack us if we dont give them reason
- If you look at it closely, you would see that they mostly really get 1 (public) success, and even that is not guaranteed.
- Compare this to Doof and you would see us drowning in AP in comparison
- There is a wider variety of Villains than is shown, and at times they compete with themselves
- Sometimes, this is even to our direct benefit, like the tech we bought off of that tech pirate.
