How about an action to design our own vehicles like what Ryder and the pups use? We can just use magic for it instead of tech. We can't ride Iskander everywhere.

...And why, after reading this chapter, do I keep thinking about the magical girls and their way of fighting with song and fists?
Here we are, indeed, raising flags everywhere we can. We just have to wait for an alien attack and become the first girl wizard who didn't let the world be destroyed and give humanity time to fight back. That would be weeeeeird considering what we were originally going for... but damn logical. After all, it's a familiar move in scenarios like this. If the villain doesn't act like a villain you need to add a "true villain" to the story and force her to help the heroes.
What a great idea! And it might also make this series popular in the "land of the rising sun," yeah.aren't we already setting up for that with Nemsis. our plan is that we're not just creating a Villian's union, we're gonna kick the ass of anyone who goes too far.
edit: that does give me a spell idea: Battle Hymn.
As long as the user keeps the song going they enjoy enhanced physical abilities.
As far as I'm concerned a Puppeteer puppet could be made and... put Presto in it. Or create another puppet that could easily be disguised as anyone.Could we create a fake Johanna puppet to throw the scent off our trail at some point, as one of the supposed victims of our schemes? It'd not be too hard to vanish as the Puppeteer and then "reappear" as a restored Johanna after.
...I'll just yoink this idea and use it in-quest, if I have your permission? I'll pay in exposure.EDIT: Hmm... maybe some sort of thing where successful Supervillain Schemes generate a value called "Complications." Complications can be spent/activated by the playerbase during other Supervillain Schemes to cause events, actions, or whatever is needed to throw off Johanna's plans. They're not like, roll debuffs, they're things that are guaranteed to happen, and can be used to make Johanna lose in a way that the playerbase finds entertaining.
But Complications can also be used by the GM if the players are stingy about using them, and possibly used outside of Supervillain Schemes by the GM if we're taking too long and too many build up, so we're encouraged to burn them off fast to avoid them hitting us when we don't want them to, which helps create a good seesaw effect between successful and failed Schemes, particularly since Johanna has a trait that improves her skills when she loses.
Ah, right. I'm actually planning on letting you all vote next turn for which trait gets updated since the Paw Patrol technically won, although it might not work because that was the plan all along.
Heheheh... My machinations shall unfold according to plan.
I'm going to write an interlude about the immediate aftermath that'll hopefully clear some things up, so you'll get the answer there. Hopefully I can post it soon enough.and the rest of the Puppies are feeding their paranoia from finding two cameras in their possession...and EVERYTHING.

Is that A Motherfuckin' JOJO REFRE-Puppeteer: "you thought of giving your first kiss to the girl working at Mr. Porter's Restaurant and Food Stall, but it was ME, the Puppeteer!"
I am not sorry.

Okay, I'll admit to a little personal bias for this one placing as high as it does; miss Johanna Kairi was my personal supervillain crush growing up. But come on! Picture if you will a 12-year-old boy idly channel surfing one Saturday afternoon, stumbling upon the 20XX Paw Patrol reboot, and immediately being enraptured by this well-toned stage magician with a frankly sinful singing voice (and how the showrunners got "Come A Little Bit Closer" past the execs I'll never know) handing Ryder his behind on a silver platter, and flirting with him all the while. I know I'm not the only kid who realised a preference for bad girls who could kick my ass in that moment. The "hero's reward" was just the cherry on top.
Yep and the name of the spell was Aspecto hormonus.we assume he was put under a spell to scramble his words, we hope the best in the breaking of this evil curse.
