All the anxieties and worries that he felt were washed away when all three heroes wore their respective shield generators and were rather pleased with the gadgets he'd produced. Really made him feel like they could take on the world, but only time would tell if they were going to fare any better than the previous hero groups that tried to take Bucur down. "I guess we're all ready. I know that I said that we would be taking public transportation to our jobs until we could afford a company vehicle...but thanks to my best bro in the world, we going into our fists mission in style." Manny brings out a keyring with a tacky keychain burger from Hot Bunzᵀᴹ and a set of car keys. Manny promptly runs outside of the apartment room and only a few moments later the three heroes he left behind in the dingy apartment room hear a couple of beeps of a car horn from outside the kitchen window. If the choose to look outside, they would see Manny in his Grey Gadgeteer suit driving a...rather plain looking car. With a childlike glee, he contacts his fellow heroes through the ultra sub-compact earpiece. "Come on, CHAMPs. Justice needs to be delivered!"

Operation: Breaking Bucur

START

I mean Hero City is the city of tomorrow. So, I don't think it's too far fetched to have this kind of tech when things like the psychofrakulator, enhancement suits, and all the stuff Dr. A. Heller made exist in the world.

Also, don't worry about it throwing a wrench in the canon of Mystery Men. This RP is inspired and set in the same world as Mystery Men but we don't really have to religiously adhere to it 100% of the time.

Manny had just finished calibrating and adjusting the power output of the last jury rigged personal shield generators when he decided to finish off the last of the coffees. Seemed like the current CHAMPs liked donuts but not so much coffee. But he took no offence to it, rather he was grateful they'd forgone the drinks. His most productive state would be his caffeinated state. As he chugged the drink down he turned to face the kitchen window only to see the Jersey Devil's face-errm-mask. One spit take and another wall stain to clean up in a few months later, he lets the hero in. "Bob, we really need to talk about the window thing. You know that we have a door leading up to the second floor beside the laundromat café, right?"

Just then, he heard the knocking on his apartment door. "Just a moment." He excused himself to go open the door but took an extra moment or two to throw away the scattered coffee cups on the sofa. Once the sofa had been sufficiently cleared, he goes to open the door to see Link and Talia. "Welcome back to HQ. Come on in, Bob just arrived a little while ago." Manny left the door open for the duo to enter while he presented the shield generators. They were roughly the size of a portable CD player, if only a little thicker. "As promised, here are the shields. I know they're way bigger than the pocket watch sized ones the President and other officials use, but believe me that these things will save you from getting shot a few times...^{atleastfrompistolgradebullets}." He places his on his belt and activated the small-ish device, a semi transparent barrier appeared encompassing him for a split second before disappearing. "Just like that I'm safe...ish. Go feel free to try yours on before we leave."

Good stuff people. Will make the update post soon.

Gonna wait for Shadows to do a post before doing a progress post. Hope that's fine.

Oh the usual stuff.
Pagan blood rituals to sacrifice small animals during a blood moon to the dark gods to give me inspiration.

That's usually my go to. But blood moons are pretty rare so I usually just go play music or go do some of my hobbies to get some inspiration.

Only a few moments had passed since the last of the new CHAMPs left Manny's cramped apartment. With no-one to see him he finally let his excitement out. "Yes! YES! The CHAMPs are back in the hero game, baby!" The man exclaimed for the world, or more likely his neighbors, to hear while hopping from one section of the apartment to another in abject glee. Not only had they managed to recruit three new heroes, but all of them had amazing abilities. Not that Manny looked down on the original CHAMPs, but the current roster of heroes were clearly better. Just as Manny went to the tray of untouched coffee for a celebratory caffeine refilling, Paul entered the room.

"Manny, what did we agree upon jumping around the second floor? The customers don't like bits of asbestos on their laundry. Or their coffee and snacks for that matter." Paul gently chided his best friend as he leaned on the door frame, arms folded in front of his chest.

"Yes, yes. Health inspector said that if we get one more complaint, he'd shut the laundromat-café until we fix it." Manny sighs dejectedly before taking a long drink from the coffee.

"I know you're excited for the CHAMP to be back, but does your first job have to be this dangerous?"

Manny nearly does a spit-take at the knowledge that Paul knew that he and the others were going to fight a nightclub full of potentially dusted up thugs. "Wait...how did you-"

Paul silences any further confusion by simply showing a black ear stud like device attached to his right ear. "You really ought to remember that despite me being only sidekick in name, I still have to keep track of what dumbass shit you're up to."

"I'm assuming that you don't want me to go?"

"Yep. Kind of obvious that I don't want you to die. You're my best friend and, honestly, the closest thing to a brother." It was now Paul who sighed. "But I know this means a great deal to you so. Here." The Asian man tosses something to Manny. Catching it he realizes it was a set of keys.

"Pau, are these...are these the keys for the delivery car? Oh my God, are you serious?" Manny asked almost in disbelief. He'd never been allowed to use the delivery car for hero use ever since it nearly got totaled during a car chase last year.

"Yes. As much as I loathe the idea of you going, this is the new CHAMPs debut job and the media can't see you roll up in a bus. Plus it'll be free advertisement when you do." Paul said nonchalantly shrugging the generosity off, getting caught off guard when the Latino man go in for a bear hug and dashing off to get the personal shield generators from the storage place a quarter mile away from HQ. Getting ready for the job later that evening.

Downtime Results

---

The walk to the nearest bus stop was extra embarrassing for Link when Fatty McGreasington rode past the man in a shitty convertible that barely held the girth of the man and giving him a double middle fingered salute as he drove past. But lady luck was smiling at Link and made the walk a little more bearable when the asshole excuse of a land whale promptly lost control of his vehicle and crashed it into a literal dumpster fire.

Talia found her zen state while meditating in her hotel room. While not the best hotel in Hero City, that honor goes to the Royal Orchid Hotel in Uptown, she managed to relieve herself from the anxiety and began to fully grasp that she was now truly her own woman and a genuine heroine of the city...despite keeping the truth away from her parents.

Bob's pre-emptive scouting would pay off. Even as evening rolled in and the nightclub just began readying itself for their customers, the number of wannabe party goers piled up more and more by the passing hour; allowing the Jersey Devil to keep observing with impunity. From his spot he discovered that the roof was relatively unguarded, while the entrance and back entrance had at least two thugs keeping an eye on it and the visitors. The roof also had a couple of large air vents as well as a pair of industrial grade air conditioning units. But for the interior of the building, Bob had no clue due to the lack of windows and opaque glass for the VIP section. It was also to be noted that the thugs seemed to be lightly armed, at least for the ones outside, with only a few armed with a tonfa each and maybe one pistol toting one.

But soon everyone would convene back to the CHAMP HQ to gear up and get ready to take Volk Bucur out.

@ShadowsofNight
Manny's power/ability, as mentioned by Oblivion, is the Gadgeteer Suit as well as the gadgets he makes.

As for Paul. His 'super power' is that he co-owns the commercial building with Manny and is one of the only forces stopping CHAMP from being defunded after failing job after job in the past half year. He is also one of the most loyal bros you could ever hope to meet.

We have some down time before the debut job begins.
Feel free to post what your character does in the meantime.

Manny was almost vibrating with excitement. There they were, the newly re-formed Council of Heroes Against Malicious Persons, ready to dish up some well deserving Justice to those who escaped the clutches of the long arm of the law. But he had to keep his excitement in check, they were professionals after all. Posing himself up in the most heroic way a nerdy man could while he puts both his hands to his waist triumphantly and clears his throat before speaking. "Well then CHAMPs, lets get it done." Manny then abruptly rushes outside of the cramped room for a good few moments before the overly zealous man sheepishly coming back. "Forgot that nightclubs aren't open during the day. Uhh...I guess I'll see you guys here by 8 pm?"
