Just in time to celebrate the return of... basically the only good superhero game out there! I'm in!
There's already at least two large criminal syndicates in Fabletown. One more would probably be a bit much.
Personally, I'd prefer if the party ended quietly and on a good note. The last time someone interrupted this thing in canon, the perpetrator was basically thrown down the Witching Well.
Gautama Buddha isn't a part of the Primordial Divinity. The fact that the Jade Emperor was desperate enough to request Gautama Buddha's help is a testament of how dire the situation was. The cooperation between Taoist and Buddhist forces is a major component of Sun Wukong's mythology.

Chapter Four: Back To The Revenge


Abdul absent-mindedly ran his teeth through his gums as Boogie lied through his teeth about his weaknesses and nesting preferences. It wasn't something he was about to mention out loud, but made a mental note to add a small subplot about the Boogieman cameo desperately trying to staunch any and all information about how to defeat him. Truth be told, a prayer and a bowl of purified water under the bed was a rather disappointing way to stave off the "ultimate" evil.

At Boogie's insinuation that the old ways were best, Abdul had to stifle a huff.
"Nothing worth keepin' from back then, Bogman. Nothin' but memories and stories. That's the reason they had ya sign that compact, y'know. 'You forget me sins, an' I'll forget yers' an' all that. Some boys just can't let go of their past, yaknow? I says forget it all, you ain't gonna get nothing but trouble playing up yer reputation."

Abdul nonchalantly cracked his knuckles, and grinned wryly at Boogie.
"Just got meself another deal, yaknow. Fifteen-hunnerd fer a foreword! Better'n all'a butchers an' game hunters in this town. Times're tough fer ev'ryone, but all them noo-voo reesh keep buyin' up clubs an' dragon steaks 'cuz they think just 'cuz they got money now they ain't in dire straits. Ain't much money fer those who ain't the big boys, an' there's only a couple'a big boys here."

Abdul gave Boogie a sly look, and whispered conspiratorially to him. Abdul had spent years eking out a barebones living, and had the kind of money owned by someone who could afford to look shabby.

"T'real money's in liquid assets, Bogman. Don't getcherself tied up in brick-an'-mortar an' don't spend scads on pretty shows an' foreign food-- all that's gonna do is empty yer wallet an' make people have expectations. Make yerself shabby an' live shabby, an' noone but noone'll try an' take anythin' from ya. E'er wonder why them girls on Floor Thirteen look like yer ol' gran, e'ven though they got more money'n all'a us? It's 'cuz they knows what I'm talkin' about."
I think @Zobozun's character has asked your character a question, and is waiting for a response.
Chapter Three: The Revengeance


Abdul politely neglected to mention that the Boogieman was not included in the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, a book listing all the major creatures one could summon and gain knowledge from. Rather, the Bogeyman was detailed in a small explanatory book for merchants Abdul wrote around the 1700s, describing minor spooks and demons one could find along the roads of Great Britain, and how best to deal with them.

Abdul rubbed his crooked chin thoughtfully, poring over his brain for what he remembered of the Boogieman.

"'S been ages since I last met you, Spooky! Are you still hiding under children's beds? Ooh, are you still terrified of salty spring water? I've been looking to write a book about yer, an' I wanna get me facts right!"

Abdul's eyes briefly glazed over as he attempted to deliver a plot synopsis of his next door-stopper.

"Lessee, t'main guy's an amateur writer from New York, e's an Arab-American immigrant, lookin' to make his mark on the world--Bit of a legacy character, that-- an' he goes round huntin' down folk monsters an' other gribbly things. Last book I 'ad him goin' on a Skunk Ape hunt, but this time I thought I'd let the boy have a breather and go after ye, Spooky! I ain't to spoil ya, but the climax involves creative usage of a bedsheet and a hollowed-out onion! 'S jus' like old times, y'see, ol' Spooky-boy! T'fans love acc'rate ref'rences t' folklore!"
It'd probably be hard for Robin to hunt very well in the middle of New York City.
Well, we've got three other people who have, for some reason, not posted at all yet. I think it should be safe to say that they've lost interest or are otherwise absent.

The three absentees are @Golem, @Inkwell, and @Pathfinder, by the way.
All your characters (AGED 13-17) learn exclusively through having sex with people. I'm not sure anyone would be willing to barter information with an army of child prostitutes. I don't think anyone would have sex with them, either.
