[MCU] Raven Darkholme Quest

My bad, I went straight to American History. I should not work and be on my laptop. Ok, edit my post and Charles can help us as a professor or tutor.
 
[X] Yeah. You would like to see America in space. Also, a billionaire boy genius named Nathaniel Richards wants to talk.

[X] Register and attend university to study biology with a minor in political sciences.
[X] Work on your powers with Charles, or rather to see how the Serum has affected you.
[X] Work with Howard on establishing Starkvalley, the Land of Tomorrow for all ages.
[X] Go to Warren Buffett and actually take time to learn the ins and outs, maybe invest further.

[X] Manage your finances
-[X] Invest another $4,406,000.00 with Warren, and spend $4,040,907.50 on shares in Stark's Iron Limbs.

I'm a bit surprised that our only movie offer is for a cameo, and that a cameo takes a full action. I kind of expected we'd have another full movie offer. I think that the Coca Cola commercial is probably better publicity than a cameo in a movie.

Around The World In 80 Days was high-profile and had a whole bunch of 'hey, it's that guy!' cameos, if I recall correctly. Handled with a little more panache than It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, too.

Re: the space race - I really really would prefer to support the Civil Rights movement, because Kennedy was way too timid about getting anything done in that regard and everyone benefits from a culture where being an asshole is officially frowned upon, but let's be real here. We aren't in our universe. We're in a fanfic remix of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe potentially houses the Kree, the Skrulls, the Shi'ar, the Dark Elves, the Chitauri, and Thanos. We need to have some kind of space-flight capability for our own defence. And we're not going to get good at it overnight, so it's better if we start now so we aren't even more 'hilariously outgunned' when we suddenly become interesting/useful/threatening enough to be invaded.

... but on the other hand, nnnng, Civil Rights getting official presidential backing right out of the gate! I know the stress would probably bring on Ike's heartattack early and I know his reputation would be damaged, but all the people who'd be helped! And more importantly to the President's staff, probably, all the votes that would now be getting counted!
 
Also, there is nothing saying Civil Rights would get official Presidential backing right out of the gate. The "No" vote isn't a vote to back Civil Rights, it's a vote to save our political goodwill until later - doesn't mean Ike will back us outright.

Well, on the Civil Rights movement, Ike's been in favor. I distinctly recall the Governor blocking integration with local Guard troops, to be met with Ike calling in the Screaming Eagles AND federalizing the Guard for good measure.

True, we can generally call him a proponent - but remember that that happened only after he first refused to force Southern states to comply with the Court's ruling in the first place.

In any case, we should be able to kick start the movement regardless of pushing for NASA. If anything, a "successful" Space Race with our name attached to it will only give us more political capital.

Shit, I just realized something:

We don't have JFK. Who was a big proponent as well.

Good point - ties into what we said earlier about inevitable backlash. Can't get anything done of we politically neuter ourselves by going off half-cocked.

I was thinking more of the black community's reaction, actually. In the absence of Dr King and other black leaders laying the groundwork for people to feel like the risks of standing up for themselves are worth it to achieve a brighter future with less fear for their children, some white chick who isn't immediately, obviously a mutant trying to get them to feel the same way is likely to be met with "Good lord, girl, don't you think the police have enough reasons to throw our sons in jail and 'accidentally' beat them to death?"
 
...we could always save the political capital and meet with Richards. Not put our hat in directly, but see about helping on the side. Not likely as good, but it's still something.

I know man, that's why I was trying to push the "save the senator" vote so hard last time.

But at the end of the day, the Dice Gods are fickle.

In my defense, I thought it was McCarthy, not Kennedy.

But at the same time, a famous celebrity putting her support behind them should help things. Maybe go down there and demonstrate with them in person, share the risks, so to speak>
 
[X] Yeah. You would like to see America in space. Also, a billionaire boy genius named Nathaniel Richards wants to talk.
[X] See what this Nathaniel Richards kid wants to do with his weird 'colonize the moon' idea.

I want a Moon Colony! We're going to make the future a better place :) Actually why didn't Marvel colonize other planet yet? Don't they have a lot of space ship and alien tech around? Plus don't they have a higher amount of the 1% on their Earth that could afford space tourism? Also there also a lot of aliens out there, so we need to get into space so we can defend out there instead of inside our nice venerable atmosphere.

[X] Do a Coca Cola commercial and advertisement using music or musical-stuff.
This won't be stressful. Filming should only take a week at most. Coke will be International (already is?) so this can help spread our name outside US.

[X] Work with Howard on establishing Starkvalley, the Land of Tomorrow for all ages.
With our name attached to this, I can see a lot of new grads clamoring to join. Beside while watching Iron man 2 didn't you wish Stark Expo was real?

Because, like you said, it's Marvel. They would be attacked by Aliens or at war with the colony within a week.

Not yet, they are still in the Himalaya
Uatu and maybe some robots are the only ones that we would meet there.

And well after the debacle with Emma we might run into Irene , even if she is kind of robbing the cradle unless the GM makes her younger.

If no one else is going come up with a plan of action, a long term goal for you guys to focus on and to plan on, then I'm going to have to ask for the winning votes.

Also for the person does the tally and gives me which ever ones that won, be the one to roll a 1d10 for things.

One question? Why aren't we doing anything about our stress?

Because we just did last turn, and the level dropped. Compared to the stuff that has been happening lately these actions should be low-key, so I would like to see what happens to our stress with this load-out. If needs be, we start dedicated time to mental health starting next turn.
