As Link took a seat and made himself comfortable on the sofa, he politely gestured for Jacob to do the same if he wanted to unwind. As Manny had no doubt that climbing to the second floor to reach his apartment must have taken significant effort. Turning his attention to Link to answer his questions his confidence in meeting the new heroes grew weaker. Things had not been going well for the CHAMP even since the beginnings of the hero group...he really didn't want to tell that to the new guys the truth but how could he call himself the founder of the CHAMP, or even more a hero, if he lied to his teammates? "Uhh...funny thing is that this is ^{kind of really what CHAMP Head Quarters is.} BUT! I promise you all that once we get out of bottom ranking in Rent-A-Hero^® and getting a decent reputation, the money will flow and we'll be getting a proper hideout for HQ and even individual vehicles." Manny paused for a good long while before finally getting the courage to say it. "^{butfornowwehavetosettlehereandusepublictransporttogettojobs.}" He spat the words out so fast that even a Rap God would have been jealous.

While Manny was talking, Paul finally noticed the lady wearing a jacket and harem pants in the hallway. From his memory, he's never leased any of the building's rooms to a woman like her nor did the current tenants had any relatives or visitors like her. Hazarding a guess, he calls out to the woman. "Hey. You. If you're the last of the three applying heroes for CHAMP, well, just feel free to go in. The meeting already started. I, on the other hand, need to go back to the ground floor and man the laundromat café before I loose any more customers." And with that, the Asian man waves off the growing bunch of weirdos that his best friend was gathering.

Ah. The things he'd do for friendship...

The knocking of the apartment's front door was audible enough to snap Paul's attention away from the open window with the new hero(?) his best friend recruited for his heroic organization. Rather than waiting for the gasmasked figure to enter the room, he opted to go and see who was knocking at the door. As the Asian man peers into the peep hole of the apartment's front door, he sees a rather gruff individual patiently waiting for something. Likely him opening the door. Seemed normal enough in that get up if not a little rough looking, he opens the door for the man outside.

Paul's nose would soon regret that decision as the odorous mixture of booze, sweat, and sex assaulted his nostrils. " *gagging* O-oh sweet Lord that is foul. S-sorry...not trying to be rude but...goddamn." Paul was forced to begin breathing through his mouth to prevent his eyes from watering. "Uhh. Are you one of the applicants, Manny was waiting for?"

The aforementioned man takes a peek at whoever Paul was speaking to. Eyes widened even more and the sheer mirth could be heard in his voice as it raised in pitch and cadence. "Oh my God, you must be The Finger! The one applicant with a legit super power! You came to the meeting, AWESOME!"

Just as The Jersey Devil peered into the dingy room, Paul saw Jacob's vaguely humanoid silhouette and soulless lenses of the gasmask that protected his identity. It was reasonable for Paul to immediately go into a panic and scrambling away from the window, knocking over and scattering the trash he had the responsibility of cleaning. "Manny! MANNY! Monster outside your window! KILL IT!"

"Wait...what?" Manny, dumbfounded, asked incredulously before turning to see what Paul was seeing. Initially, the sight startled the founder of the CHAMP, and was ready to fight for his life, but after a moment or two of processing what he was looking at he finally realized who it was outside his window. It was the same guy from one of the application emails! "Paul. Calm down. That ain't no monster." Manny said to his friend before excitedly approaching the window to open it and let Jacob in. "This is one of the newest recruits of CHAMP. THE JERSEY DEVIL!" Manny announced with arms outstretched and hands shaking jazzily to the open window.

That too.

@iGeorge
As I mentioned, its fine. I just wanted to start the RP in consideration of the players who waited for nearly a week. You're still free to apply. If you feel that you lack inspiration for this RP, I recommend watching Mystery Men or Defendor. Might get your creative juices flowing.

@myinneroblivion
I actually had integrated it to the main plot in a way. Can't leave a decent plot hook to be just a filler story y'know?

Hero City, The City of Tomorrow!

"Hero City was built alongside Champion City hundreds of years ago among the verdant woodlands and rolling hills of Massachusetts.

It may have been the jewel of the region at one time but no more. The surrounding area's woodland has been deforested and developed into industrial sites and mass housing complexes. The once serene skyline is riddled with elaborate skyscrapers, Neon signs, and a fleet of airships that constantly patrol the streets from a bird's eye view through smog clouded skies. Numerous cultures have left their mark not just on the city's development and identity, for better or for worse. What historically was a city of simplicity and humility has grown into a multicultural hub of decadence and corruption.

Yes Hero City, the City of Tomorrow...and Champion City's less flattering sister city.

Despite what the news and radio shows tell Hero City itself was in a worse state than the local government let on...not that it fools any average Joe and Jane that hasn't been living underneath a rock for their whole lives. No, Hero City is rife with villains and ne'er-do-wells that prey upon the honest citizens of this city. They operate in the shadows and gutters of this city, like the vermin they are, so the corrupt officials are easier paid to look the other way to their activities. Almost every day, evil goes unpunished...but not today! For today the CHAMP roster has been bolstered by fresh new heroes! Evil beware the CHAMPs are after you!"

Manny proclaims proudly to nobody in particular while he uses a hairbrush as an impromptu mic and raising his hands upward as if basking in the love of an invisible crowd. Just as he's bowing to his imaginary audience, Paul enters the dingy one room apartment with a box of donuts and a tray of coffee.

"Manny, you really need to tone down a little. Especially when doing these monologues. The neighbors are starting to think you're crazy." Paul said with a slightly concerned tone, hoping that his best friend hasn't gone and lost his mind.

Manuel turns to look at his long time friend with a wide grin and a sparkle in his eyes. "How can I, Pau? We got three. Not one. Not two. But THREE email application in one night. This is an outstanding success! Mark my words, Pau. This is a turning point for the CHAMP."

"Well be a CHAMP and help me with the donuts and coffee." Paul says while setting down the box of donuts and coffee on a kitchen counter top only to grimace as he feels a wetness on the back of his hand as it touches the surface. "Jesus, Manny. When was the last time you properly cleaned this dump?" The Asian man says as he frowns at the motor oil that stained the back of his hand.

"Roughly two months ago, but that isn't the point. The point is that we got to make our first impression count with these applicants. What makes a better first impression than a rousing speech, donuts, and coffee?"

"Meeting in a dirty cramped apartment that smells and looks like an auto shop barfed in it." Paul said with no thin layer of sarcasm.

"Touché. Help me clean before the applicants arrive. They could be here at any moment." Manuel finally agreed and began haphazardly sweeping trash and junk into areas where it wouldn't be seen easily.

Once everyone has been approved and their characters moved to the CS page, I'll go make up the first IC post.

@Searat

In consideration of the players who have been patiently waiting for nearly a week, I will have to rescind this statement and will begin drafting the first IC post in a little while.

To those players that have yet to submit your application or moved your approved character to the appropriate tab, you are still free to do so but it will be treated, in character, as their application emails arriving later while the CHAMPs are assembled for their first meeting.

I humbly apologize if this sounds rude or inconsiderate on your end, but I feel it is more rude and inconsiderate for me as a first time GM to let those players eager to play, wait for an unreasonable time for the roster to fill up. You are free to drop this RP if you feel this is unfair or unreasonable but there will be no hard feelings involved, and are still welcome to apply for future RPs...if I ever decide to run any after this one.

Not trying to rush or anything but just giving a little bump to those who have yet to make a character or move their approved character to the CS tab.
