Not sure if folks are still interested in that idea of power loss, but there is a Heroes character I wouldn't mind doing a Fandom plot with, and since Peter's a senior there's only so long he'll be on-island to make it happen.

Which isn't to say this HAS to be done, just if folks were still thinking about it and wanted to take advantage of a canon guest character to help out, this could be nicely mixy.

It's definitely still bouncing around in my head -- I just got derailed for a couple reasons. But yes, still very interested and I'd love to work in a Heroes villain even though I've failed at keeping up with canon this season. Email incoming.

I was thinking of an alumni-centric plot. Some kind of invasion that the Fandomites lose, but the bad guys failed to take into account the Alumni, so they save the day.

Or, an invasion that doesn't involve the actual island. Some villain has noticed that Fandom effects seem to have followed the Alumni, and so starts snatching them up for the ambient Fandom Magic or what have you. Then they have to escape or be rescued by other alumni. Oh this also goes for Ex-Pats too.

I definitely love that idea.

I'll be honest and admit I don't like it. I feel like alumni/ex-pats had their shot and it's time for other heroes to step in to save the day. But, if I'm being honest, I also should admit that my feelings are probably influenced by the fact I have three fighters on-island and none off.

Half-Magic! Stolen from the book of the same name by Edward Eager.

A coin, or multiple coins, show up on the island in places where coins show up. In your change from J, GOB, under the couch cushions, in a crack on the sidewalk. Each of these coins grant wishes! Any wish, spoken out loud while in possession of this coin will half come true.

Ex: If you wish for a million dollars, you'd get half a million. If you wished for a banana split, you'd get a banana. If you wished a friend back on the island, they'd end up halfway there. If you wished someone to go to hell, they'd probably end up in Orange County.

Since the coins look like ordinary coins if you don't look closely, they could be passed on, dropped or spent after a wish with the person not even realizing what had happened.

If someone makes a wish that'll have to be reversed, they'll have to find one of the coins again and hope it's still got wishes on it.

Interested? And any ideas on how to make this work in a game setting?

That's what I was thinking. Only maybe stretch it out for a couple of weeks so the coins could circulate, a bit of chaos could ensue and people could have time to put things right.

Posting on behalf of my self and my lagomorph partner in crime ...

1 - Max really is the President of the United States in his world, and carries all of the usual privileges that holds. If you need something to be declared a historic landmark, if you need an official pardon, if you need something signed by a high-ranking governmental official, Max is happy to abuse his powers to help you.

Okay, there might be a small price involved, but it's likely to be along the lines of, stand on one foot and perform "I'm a Little Teapot."

2 - Sam and Max do not have the authority to arrest anyone, but this does not stop them from trying. Therefore, if either of the following scenarios interest anyone ...

- being placed under arrest when not actually breaking the law, being taken to the trooper station, and getting a full release from a very headdesky Sheriff, who has no idea who these idiots are

- being told that you are under arrest, and answering it with, "Nah, I don't think I want to be," and getting to skip away scott-free

... you know where to find us. :)

I kind of want (don't know which character is most likely to do this) to respond to "You're under arrest," with "No, you're under arrest."

I think they should arrest Triela.

For breaking and entering.

During her shift.

No. I don't know either.
