>>46640328
Can we pick which martial arts we will learn first?

spend some time introspecting...ask /k/ what sort of cool melee combat shit would be practical for someone like Uber or Victor or other heroes (with similar power-sets)

I did this today. they suggested shotguns with variable ammo types

>>46640457
We already went to one MMA session, I think the next highest vote was for mobility.

>>46640328
>Practice what you learned in class, with your power this time.

Before we go doing addon: can we know how much rent is and how long before it is due?

>>46640499
We should go with either boxing and kick-boxing or krav maga.
And as someone from /k/ in Canada gun laws here work different, fewer people have guns and will freak out if they see one.

>>46640328
>>Practice what you learned in class, with your power this time.
Also think about the cute chick in our class

if we want to look at inconspicuous weapons we could go with some thrown or string weapons. Hell, a couple of baseballs or racquet balls could work against anyone thats not too durable. could be a pretty good substitute for a Meteor Hammer, like what Jackie Chan used in High Noon. Good solid wood or metal yoyo could ruin someone's day and we'd never get called out for it in regular walking around.

>>46640572
the implication I got off /k/ was that shotguns are not terribly common like they are down south here. but they aren't British City rare either. in either case our cash levels wouldn't sustain the purchase at this moment in the series

that aside, we may as well get a priority rosters set down in stone both for gear/weapons/costumery/(other money stuff) and for a course of action.

COME ON PEOPLE THIS EMPOWERED FEELING WE'RE HAVING IS SOMETHING TO GET UP AND GO OVER.

I like the way you think...

in other news, I just saw some preview gameplay of Overwatch.
one champion has a hook+chain weapon for snagging opponents and dragging them in. suppose we can get to be that good with a grapnel? cause that might be a fun attack method...

>>46640769
Outside of cities shotguns are fairly common, in and around cities they are very uncommon and in major cities cops will arrest you for open carrying.
Just walk around with a hockey stick those trick weapons are unreliable. Also we should carry a good knife around.

>>46640849
Thanks.

We could go try to make the name Captain Boomerang an great one. A proper boomerang is a good chopping weapon as well as a thrown one, break a bone in one good hit fairly cleanly. Or a cold steel Torpedo would fuck up someone's day pretty bad.

>Outside of cities shotguns are fairly common, in and around cities they are very uncommon and in major cities cops will arrest you for open carrying.

gonna say that the shotgun was /k/'s suggestion.
if we can get a short one from someplace though, it would be a FANTASTIC addition to our super-kit, provided we can get it to stay hidden.

someone also suggested learning to lock-pick.

dear god I LOVE planning shit like this...

>>46640987
Most people in cities don't own knives other than kitchen knives, somehow people consider them more dangerous than a hockey stick
As for gear snacks, first aid kit, knife, baton, a good watch, second disposable cellphone and go from there.

You consider spending some money, but head inside instead. Wet runners trudge up the overworn carpet stairs: one flight, two flights, and you’re at the third floor. Your shiny, fresh key finds slides into the lock, and you’re officially home. The minimalist aesthetic is starting to grow on you, but you don’t think you’ll feel truly at home until you get some personal flair going. You switch on the gas fire and drape your hoodie over a chair in front of it to dry off.

The sweat on your clothes is starting to smell a little, but you don’t mind. A few taps, and your workout mix starts blaring over the bluetooth speakers. The naked metal weights are cold in your hands despite the temperature the room. You slide a twenty-five pound plate onto either side of the racked barbell to warm up; the practice reps go smoothly, and you move up in ten pound increments, eventually reaching seventy pounds on either side. You manage to press the first two sets of five without trouble, but by the time you hit rep number three on the third set your arms just won’t push any further.
“Fuck,” you sigh between gulps of water and mark down the results on the next page in a small pocket journal. You fall into the rest of your routine and devote your thoughts to other tasks.

The apartment would need some additional decorating, at least. You hadn’t really thought too hard about the parting gift from your parents; a bribe might have been a more appropriate word. What you had at first viewed as a desperate bid to make relocating more palatable, you now realize is an incredible blessing. There’s no way in hell you’d be able to afford renting a place like this on a minimum wage coffeeshop worker’s salary. Memories of the blowout that landed you in Rain City start to sneak their way into your thought process, but you crush them with an aggressive set of military presses. The past is in the past, no need to bring that baggage with you in the move. It could just the thought of that cute girl from your MMA class smiling at you, but you’re feeling pretty light hearted.

You slide out from under the barbell and dry the sweat from your face with a still-damp towel. You take a leisurely shower, relishing the scalding hot water after a day of work and exercise. Brushed teeth, shaved “stubble,” and a fresh outfit consisting of dark, close fitting jeans and a fashionable t-shirt: you’re ready to leave with time to spare. You devour another classic James Case dinner: microwaved cheese smokie with mustard and regret brushing your teeth beforehand and not after. Swish of water, there you go. With your purple RCU sweater still very damp, you instead throw a plain grey hoodie on and layer your peajacket over top. You tuck the remainder of your 26 of whiskey inside your coat and hop on the bus.

The bus ride is a long one. Gordo texted you his address, it’s a full ten minutes further than Bean City down 10th.
“Thank you,” you call over your shoulder to the bus driver as you step out into the cool spring night. You thank the clouds; the’d decided to stop raining for now. You pick your way down the sidewalk and turn right up a short sidestreet. Warm yellow light, laughter and music spilled out of a fourth floor window: it must be the place. You bring up Gordo’s number to text him to let you in, but you find the building’s door quite unlocked. You bound up the stairs as casually as possible, excited and just a little nervous. It had been a while since you’d gone out with people that weren’t yourself. You locate the door easily enough by the sound, and confidently sweep inside.

It’s a small place, but overbrimming with character. Every surface is strewn with bits of seemingly random junk: flower pots with nothing but dirt in them, old figurines of famous capes, bits of tacky china. The already cozy living room looks even smaller, packed as it is. You spot Gordo leaning up against the fridge, talking to an unfamiliar Asian girl. You share the unconscious “sup?” nod and a low wave before he goes back to his animated conversation. Scanning the crowd of fifteen odd people, you also spot Clark and Marcie.

Clark, maybe try to get Marcie pulled in. Writing now, might be slow because I'm watching dinner cook at the same time.

>>46641759
Can we use our power to see the people around us weaknesses? We might even find other capes that way.

>>46641403
>>Talk to Clark.
Get the names of some of the regulars that frequent the cafe

Here is a super crazy idea: We get a job as a personal trainer at a gym. Since we can see physical weaknesses we would be pretty damn good at pushing people but also not letting them get too hurt. To meta game it a bit, if we start seeing their mental weaknesses we can spur them on a bit to give it all they can, It also gives us a pretty damn good excuse to work out a good bit and as long as it isn't a rinky dink tiny gym they might have a regular self defense class we can make use of.

Something to aspire to, maybe if we wanna get a second job or a better one. Did we ever learn what we did before moving? What job(s) we held?

Not wanting to get in the way of Gordo's enterprise, you pick your way over to Clark who seems less focussed on talking to any one person.
“Hey man! Glad you could make it!” He grins and extends a hand. You take it, “yeah, it was this or Netflix. Tough call.”
With a laugh, he pulls you into the impromptu circle of conversation.
“James, Sammy and Luke. Sammy, Luke, James.”
Luke, you imagine, is the guy. A few inches shorter than you and just a bit more heavy set, his curly black hair seems to have a mind of his own. He nods from behind an expensive craft beer. Sammy is almost comically opposite: barely five feet tall at best, thin as a stick and heavily manicured.
“You work with Clark?” her voice is squeaky, but not unpleasant.
“Yeah, just did my first shift this morning, actually. Not a bad job, looks like.”
She nods and takes a sip from her Palm Bay, letting the conversation peter out. The four of you stand around in a sudden, unbalanced silence. You upend your bottle of whiskey into your mouth, the sting taking your mind off the awkward pause.
Clark jumps in, “don’t know if you guys follow capes at all, but a buddy of mine told me about this underground cape fighting ring right here in The Bricks. Apparently it gets pretty intense, if you’re into that kinda thing. Lots of illegal betting, real OG stuff.”

How about a trained babby with a gun?

>>46642545
good luck and god speed, in the mean time I'm looking up average prices for gear we may want for the super-shenanigans...

>>46642583
truly a weapon to surpass metal gear...

Post is going to be delayed again, sorry. Hopefully this won't be a recurring problem.

>>46642600
A good knife and first aid kit are priority along with a disposable cellphone

>>46642721
yup, granted we could probably get by on a decent knife till we could afford a good one.

that means we want a schrade or a gerber first and a cold steel or KaBar later.

Batons range from $10 to $70 online, Amazon doesn't sell them, but both BrigadeQM and Cheaper than dirt DO sell them...

Do you think it might be wise to pull off like, one heist? I'm not talking anything major, but like, before we upgrade to our nicer costume we could rob an armored car. Leave the drivers alive, but just take all the money.

Then we switch costumes and never speak of it again.

>>46642812
or we could rob criminals like Moon knight

>>46642812
I don't know, man. I know we're not going for the goody-goody hero route but...

>>46642812
Sure, let's just rob an armored car.
In a city full of caped heroes.
When we barely have powers.
Yeah, don't see where that could go wrong.

>>46642812
crack dealers are the way to go...lets rob the crack-dealers...if they have a local criminal big-wig maybe we break in and steal his stuff and spread shit on the walls...

>>46642850
Nah let's have two costumes one for beating the shit out of criminals for fun and loot and one that robs shit like banks

>>46642922
>Living two lives
What if the league of evil and league of heroes try to recruit and start a war for us?

>>46642922
no

>>46642922
Before we go hero or villain we need to get stronger, best way to do that is to steal from low level criminals. That way we can stay under the radar, while living multiple lives is over complicated.
>>46642960
It's living three lives

>>46642971
We use the bank robber costume once and then we burn it nothing can be tracked back to us and the heroes look for somebody else

>>46642987
Bank robbery in a city full of supers and expecting to not going on a downward spiral until we are a full super villain

What the shit, I can't get anything past the spam filter

>>46642600
Ontario 498, it's like a Kabar but cheaper.

(gonna try submitting in small pieces)

“Underground cape fighting?” you quickly chime in, internally wincing at the directness, “sounds like it could be pretty sweet to watch.” Luke catches you off guard by speaking up for the first time, taking some of the pressure off of you, “you know where they are? Think that’s something I definitely want to get in on.”Sammy shifts uncomfortably, making an excuse to slip away.

Still catching up here, so far you've been doing awesome OP, keep up the good threads. You're the first new quest to catch my eye in 3 months

>>46643453
because they're ubiquitous and prices vary pretty widely.

and you can get them for basically nothing at yard sales or pay way more than you need to at a sporting goods store.

the stuff on my list isn't the sort of thing you'd find in a pawn shop for a dollar or three.
I'd also include crowbars and bolt cutters, but again, pawn shops are our friend...

>>46643497
Yeah bolt cutters are a good idea but if we buy utilitarian stuff it might help us but we should rob one cocaine dealer then pay for it in cash

I could get down with a hammer. It'd be very Oldboy.

“Do you know if it’s cool to take a beer from the fridge?”
“Go for it dude,” Clark says, “they’re Gordo’s but he still owes me a six pack, consider it my treat.”

The three of you share a laugh, and you peel off towards the fridge. Behind you, the heated discussion over super strength versus super speed continues. There’s a bit of swagger in your step as you approach, a nearly Jack Sparrow-like confidence.

“Hey,” you nod, “could I sneak in here for a sec?”

Marcie steps away from the fridge in a fluid motion; you can’t help but notice the tassels along the bottom of her blue shirt swish with the movement. You root around for a bit, head bathing in the cool air until you emerge holding two cans.

You offer her the second with a hint of a smug smile, “courtesy of Clark.”
“Sure,” she drains the last of her Japanese tallie and cracks the fresh beer. You follow suit, too focussed on looking relaxed to stop the foam from dribbling over your fingers. An ever-so-slight smile lights up the normally stoic face, a gesture you can’t help but match earnestly. The brief moment of unspoken humor fades, and you begin frantically wracking your brain for something charming to say.

“You look different.”

Huh? you think, not realizing you had spaced out thinking.

“Huh?” you respond, brain still lagging a little. You sip at your beer as if it could make you smarter.

“I said, you look different than you did yesterday,” her eyes narrowed slightly in an investigative manner, your beer froze at your lips. Did she know? How could she possibly know? You scramble to find a way out.

“Uh, I worked out today, and I’m wearing a sexier outfit?” If you were going to bluff while drunk, damn if you weren’t going to add a bit of dazzle. You can feel her gaze scouring your very soul, and you smoothly look for a window to dive out of.

“Huh, must be. Keep at it, fitness is important,” she takes a deep gulp and throws on a trendy leather jacket.
“Looks like we’re headed out now.” You look over to the rest of the living room and see that indeed, people were putting on coats and shoes, finishing off drinks, pulling out smokes. You grab your jacket off a nearby chair, thinking up a clever joke to get her to smile again as you do so. When you turn to tell it to her, you find that she’s already at the front of the exiting pack. Your patented James Case Charm would have to wait for now.

And I'm afraid I have to stop this already rocky session here, I'd rather have you guys wait for quality than squirt out some uninspired junk. I'm loving the level of discussion going on here.

Next session won't be until Sunday at 3pm Pacific, but get ready for a 12 hour marathon of action, adventure, waifus, and shitstorms.
