Should probably talk it over with Gwen first.

I mean technically Jameson said it was open season, so it wouldn't even be a crime.

>>26812624
Actually that last one has merit.

>>26812624
>Catch the Black Cat for the reward?
Oh we need to catch the Black Cat?

I thought the terms were just to prevent the robbery.

>>26812698
You'd have to read the fine print of what J Jonah Jameson said/wrote on it to know for sure.

>[ ]Actually, that last one has merit…

Hey Cosgrove, was that guy in the last thread right about moving BQ to once a week?
Which I'm totally ok with since I like /co/ a lot more than /a/

>>26812682
this
gotta let the other spider know things
and it'll free her up more

>>26812700
...Why can't you get the point of what that guy said about not bringing it up during another quest?

It was plainly stated.

>>26812721
True enough.

>>26812682
Just because a guy puts out a bounty and proclaims it open season doesn't mean NYC is suddenly the wild west.

>>26812757
awesome idea for a campaign though

>>26812757
You'd be surprised how much pull JJJ has

>>26812757
See that'd be something to ask Gwen.

Is what Jameson's doing even legal?

>>26812781
>NYC dusted over, the streets covered with sand
>Buildings slightly delapitated, but still standing
>Town filled with roughnecks practicing frontier justice, the spaghetti western kind, not the actual boring kind
>No one remembers how they got there, or why the city is the way it is.

Ya I'd read/ play that.

I'd love to say that capturing the Black Cat has merit, except if we go as Peter Parker, it'll be clear we've done far more than just eat our Wheaties and hit the gym, especially in the small amount of time available, and if we go as Spiderman, we'll have JJJ saying that we collaborated with Black Cat to steal his reward.

JJJ is like a personified no-win scenario.

>>26812782
So he's 60's cartoon JJJ then who was more or less the Mayor President who ran a paper for shits and grins.
if this is modern times, it's laughable that a guy who runs a paper has this much clout. Making him the mayor of NYC n the comics was a smart move.

>>26812871
We don't know that though.

And taking care of this Black Cat problem seems like a great way to give Eddie his story, Gwen and her dad piece of mind, and our Aunt and Uncle rent for the month.

>>26812907
Not to mention we'd be using our powers responsibly to stop a criminal.

>>26812833
>Desert punk in NYC

Long story short?: Cosgrove does what Cosgrove wants.

>>26812907
I know, that's why I said "I'd love to say[...]" because Peter really has no reason not to think this is a good idea, and has no reason not to put on a suit to hide his identity, because of Smythe.

>>26812939
>Zipline system to get from building to building

>>26812871
What if we Scooby Doo the capture? Doing it with pure athletics wouldn't be believable, but Peter Parker rigging a trap and luring the Black Cat into it after a wacky chase scene could work. Especially if we actually wore the polo and ascot. It would be so absurd no one could possibly connect it to the spider bite incident. Plus, Gwen dressed as Velma. Just throwing that one out there.

>>26812940
And he probably won't run it the way he used too, which I'm happy for. Staggering between 2 games and less frequent running lets me score more sleep.

The old nonstop BQ, while fun, almost killed me and damaged my marriage.

>>26812982

>>26813003
No, your lack of self control damaged your marriage.

In any case I'm hoping it doesn't run tomorrow simply due to me needing to get up at 6AM (eastern) to help move my companies server room to the new building. In any case, while short, the last session drove home just how fucked we currently are which is refreshing.

>>26812624
>[ ]Actually, that last one has merit…
Tell Gwen too just in case. There's no way this could POSSIBLY go wrong.

>>26813085
Yeah, my staying up was my choice and it put a strain on our relationship as she got exasperated with me, but the issues have been resolved and others consume her ire present. I've got my husband points back and am out of the proverbial doghouse.

Anyway, I like the idea of us catching the cat using Parker know how instead of spider powers. It would be clever.

We'll have to answer questions about that.

>[X]Actually, that last one has merit…

You pause at the though. Actually…

Actually, that one has merit. Of course you’re not a skilled detective who knows every single one of the criminal genius’s tricks and can chase him forever, but you’ve got spider powers and webshooters, which should be almost as good.

Probably.

Still, though, you’d need something to disguise yourself- you’re puny Parker, after all. You’d either have to be able to outsmart a thief who has never been caught with some tricks and traps, or disguise yourself and try to catch him.

Also, you’re broke, so making traps would be very hard with what you’ve got.

Still, there’s probably something you can scrounge together if you tried. Maybe you should talk to Gwen, too. But, then again, maybe not. She might get mad at you for doing this.

Lets talk to Gwen and figure out that fine print before throwing ourselves behind this completely.

>>26813629

Both for protection, and because if we're gonna be wearing tights...

>>26813407

Agreed, also we still have the Quincy knife as a last line of defense. We should get the bracelet and key back from Urahara as a training device, and keep it with us to eventually attempt to Fullbring once we learn about it.

>Ichigo already IS a canon westaboo
Well, he likes Shakespeare and listens to western music. To compare to what we're familiar with, that's on the level of the guy who enjoys the occasional mango or animu, but doesn't make a big deal out of it. We have him up to the level of dropping references to A Song of Ice and Fire without even thinking about it. By the way we need to do Bard's "Black Arrow" spiel if we ever get a dramatically appropriate moment.
>>26813893
Cape comics can get pretty powerlevely. Thankfully this is a Marvel Quest, not a DC Quest. So we just have to worry about bad writers not understanding the characters, rather than shit like a dude outrunning instantaneous teleportation.

>>26813938
Think about it this way, Stark was hilariously nice enough to Banner in the avengers, I figure he'd be much the same to parker. He has that tendency to fill the void required for personal growth. Its a jerk shaped void, but nonetheless.

>[ ]Research the exact words Jameson used for his ‘bounty’
>[ ]Talk to Gwen

You could head back and do something, but you should be more careful and check things out first. Especially with Gwen. You don’t want your co-conspirator to be angry with you, it would be inconvenient.

Also, you should probably research the whole bounty thing. Wording is very important and Jameson’s a man who controls words, so it would be best to figure out exactly what the bounty entails. Stopping a robbery is different from catching the crook, after all.

So, what should you do first?

>[ ]Research the bounty at home

You head home to research the bounty. Arriving home, yet again, to an empty house, you look over at your neighbor’s house. Man, what are they up to over there? Actually, better not to know.

You shake your head as you head down into the basement, which is quickly becoming the place where you spend your time the most these days. Starting up the computer, you grab the news paper you bought last week and look it over. Nothing committal, just that he was offering a bounty there.

No, what you need to do is find something that’s got what he’s offering and what’s the fine print on the conditions. This shouldn’t take too long, but it really depends on how open Jameson’s been with his bounty. Odds are, not very much.

It takes some doing, but you manage to find images and text of the contract. It seems that the reward is legitimate as it’s for ‘anyone who stops the Black Cat from stealing his wife’s prized emerald cat statue.’ Furthermore, he will double the reward if the Black Cat is caught and presented to the police along with a story in the Daily Bugle about the heroics of the person who captured the Black Cat. Furthermroe the reward will be in cash.

It seems like a pretty good deal. With your abilities, it shouldn’t be too hard to stop the heist and, if you could manage to capture the Black Cat, the reward’s doubled.

Man, with two thousand dollars, you could help out Aunt May and Uncle Ben AND get some more materials to work with. Or something.

You lean back in your chair and pick up the phone. As you do so, your eye catches the secret compartment with your webshooters and your dad’s notes and hard drive.

If we're really gonna follow through with it, at the very least she can warn her Dad not to arrest Peter due to misunderstandings that would most definitely occur once we are on site.
Actually, what's her Dad's impression with JJJ offering the reward? Is it messing up with his investigation, or putting more risk on conducting the police's job of protecting the item targeted by Black Cat?

>[ ]Ask to meet up with her in person to talk
>DC13, result 13, Success!

No, not over the phone you can’t. If you’re going to tell her about your plans to stop the Black Cat, it should at least be in person. It’s way to easy for conversations to be misinterpreted or ended over the phone.

“I’ve got something important I need to talk with you about. Can we meet up somewhere?”

Gwen sounds a bit exasperated. “Peter, I-”

“I know, I know. Your father doesn’t want to going anywhere, but this is important. I wouldn’t bother you if it wasn’t.”

She lets out a sigh as she hears the sincerity in your voice. “Fine. I’ll be right over.”

She hangs up and you find yourself sitting in the basement, waiting awkwardly. You look around and decide to straighten up the mess that’s beginning to form down here before heading back upstairs. When the door rings, you open it and let Gwen in, inviting her to sit on a chair. She looks at you, a little worried.

“Alright, what’s the matter Peter?”

You raise up a hand. “Before I do, you have to promise me to listen all the way to the end, alright?”

She nods, growing a bit more uncomfortable. “Well, you see, let me start by explaining something. My Aunt and Uncle… they’re having financial troubles, you see? …But they haven’t wanted me to know. I’ve been trying to get a job to help out some, but nothing’s worked out. So… I’m going to make a disguise and try to catch the Black Cat for the reward money.”

>(1/2)

>>26815798
Gwen stares at you incredulously. “I know, it’s stupid, but… I can’t not take this opportunity, Gwen. I know I’m probably putting myself in danger, but my aunt and uncle took me in and raised me like I was their own son and this might be the ONE way I can help them out. So, I wanted going to tell you because this effects you, too, Gwen, and this isn’t something that I should just abruptly tell you over the phone.”

Gwen stares at you for a long time as you nervously wait for her response. She lets out a sigh, ruffling her hair. “You shouldn’t do this. You really, really shouldn’t. But I can at least understand why you feel you need to do this, Peter. And I said I’d help you so you don’t get in over your head…”

She leans over and slaps you upside your head. “But you still deserve that.”

She nods and takes off her glasses, cleaning the lenses, as she looks at you.

“Alright, so what’s your plan? What are you going to do to catch the Black Cat?”

"Well... I thought I'd just wait for him to strike or something... but maybe a disguise in case... you know. Super powers."

>>26815867
Good fake glasses have lenses, so the wearer can simulate all behaviors of someone that wears glasses.

Guys... the plan is the hard part... Not the disguise. I know you all think the disguise great and all but if we don't have a plan to work with, the greatest disguise, isn't going to do jack shit.

Do you even comic book

>>26815957
Speaking to that.. if we're doing the heist first... We're going to use what we'd determine as an alternate-identity costume.. We're not going to associate it with spiderman and we're not going to want to be seen doing anything more than athletics.

What i'm saying is that if we're going to wall-crawl, we're going to do it out of sight.. And NO web-shooters.

>>26815957
This is true.
It's why most 90's creations are dead and gone.

>>26815807
"Well I was kind of hoping you could help me with that.

Really, all I know about the Black Cat is he, or she, is confident enough to leave calling cards and name the date in which the theft will be performed."

I mean it sounds like her dad has been talking about the Black Cat case nonstop.

I'm just reminding that we don't want any defining features or even bright colors.

Yes. Ask if she has details on how the police are being deployed to stop Black Cat, what info isn't public knowledge... Right now we need intel more than anything.

"Eddie's been keeping a tab on this case since he's working for the Daily Bugle. I was hoping to ask him if this 'Black Cat' has any habits/gimmicks that we can exploit as a weakness."

Then, prepare a trap. Hopefully, the adhesive dissolves quickly enough that by the time the police come in to make the arrest, there won't be too many questions from them.
But let's not resort to that right away.

>>26815944
>Someone needed to point out the flaw in this line of thinking.

If Black Cat is captured by a disguised person, said person will still need to be identified to get the reward money? Is that the kind of flaw you're talking about?

Sure it is, we nab the fancy statue and lie in wait for the actual thief at the most likely or perhaps improbable exit. We wave the "trophy" in his/her face, (maybe) Bring him/her to justice and return the statue to JJJ.
Also, making him think spiderman is a menace is as likely as Uncle Ben NOT dying.

This is a good also. Between anything Gwen can pull up for us that the police have and what Eddie might have maybe we can piece something together that both have missed?

>>26816137
but in new york, no one gives two fucks so it is pretty much the same thing

You're assuming everything will go perfectly in this little 'plan' of yours, aren't you?

>I've got it Gwen... we'll steal... THE MOON!

>>26816131
You'd think the police would have definitely tried moving the object the Black Cat wants to steal, wouldn't you?

Really, it's hard to imagine what they haven't tried.

>>26816182
>imply marvel police are the least bit helpful at anything

>>26816202
I'm pretty sure named police officers are good at their job.

So George Stacy should be competent.

>>26816182
>>26816165
I'm not even the first one that suggested it. and a couple others have backed it. If we choose to go that route, it's of course doubtful that everything will work out and we'll need to shift plans accordingly.. Hell that's with any scenario.
No, I don't think it's going to go perfectly but it's an interesting plan of action that may get JJJ butthurt about spiderman to some degree, and give us some nice training for when we infiltrate a place like... Oh... Oscorp.

>>26816182
Marvel police are indeed incompetent. Hell, when it's a calling card thief, the idea across literature is that the police WON'T move the targeted item for whatever reason. However, if it is moved, we'll just need to shadow someone until they blurt out the location because anyone that gets shadowed blurts out key info...

Rule of fictional thumb. That was half-way sarcasm..

>>26816164
This city is afraid of me, et cetera.

>sorry for delay, writing

>>26816246
>and give us some nice training for when we infiltrate a place like... Oh... Oscorp.

Personally, rather just capture Black Cat and see if we can use that as leverage over him/her to see if we can't get he/she to do it. Hell, de-mask Black Cat and get a photo of it. That would be lovely.

Something like "Do this for me or get turned in to the police..."

Though, Black Cat would just ended escaping from them... Still worth a shoot to have a pro do it instead of ourselves.

Eh.

>>26816348

One-up. If we choose not to turn them in, we go through training Montage as a ninja.

>>26816385
Is daredevil operating in the city, becuase we could so train with him

>>26816397

I don't think our skillsets are as similar.. he's well.. He's daredevil.. We're spiderman... Who's more of a ninja.. We're also not blind..

>>26816439
I have to ask...

What...

>Plan?

You scratch at the back of your head. “Well, I’m working on that. That’s another reason I wanted to talk with you. Your dad works on the case so I was hoping you’d be able to help me out with planning.”

Gwen shakes her head, leaning in to whisper in your ear. “Alright, but my dad could get fired if what I managed to learn got out. Basically, they’re going to try to protect the statue by locking it away and switching it out with a fake. Or at least, that’s what’s going around the police department in case the Black Cat infiltrated in disguise. The real one is what’s listed as the fake.

“The only people who know are my dad and Jameson, everyone else in the police are out of the loop. Even so, because of it, the ruse of guarding the statue is actually acting as a guard of the real one. Not to mention, Jameson’s refusing to let it leave his sight, so he’s been walled up in his office all week, though it’s mostly an act.

The Black Cat always strikes on the date stated, at the time stated. He’s never failed to get away undetected even after leaving the calling card. So, your best bet is to get in a position out of sight where you can monitor the situation. Considering your powers, it shouldn’t be too hard.”

She leans back and looks at you. “Are you sure you want to go through with this Peter?”

How much you want to bet Black Cat knows all of this and is going to steal both for shits and giggles.

So it's 8 AM, yesterday best friend's girlfriend broke up with. He's been trying to commit suicide, lost all will to live and even think straight, drunk himself to sleep and is currently trying to rest, while I've slept around 3 hours making sure everything's live and running. His sister's dog is here too.

Guess it's perfect time for Peter Parker Quest.

>>26816541
HELL YES
HELL FUCKING YES

>>26816541
"No I'm not, but I have to..."

>>26816541
"Yes, but I don't think I appreciated just how complicate it would be to stay out of the cops way. I can't just compromise a legitimate sting operation, which means that I'd be looking to catch the Cat either before he sprung the trap or after he'd escaped it...neither of those options seem particularly good, and the former would still be interference with the investigation since I might end up tipping him off. Ok, this freelance bounty hunting idea is a bit more complicated than I thought, but I can probably come up with something. I hope."

>>26816562
I mean, while knowing the specific strategy is helpful, general stuff could be useful.

Like do the marked items just vanish out of thin air?

Is their evidence of what tools the Black Cat used to bypass the various security methods?

Is there any evidence that he has something weird at his disposal?

Like "us" weird?

Let's make sure Jameson, or SOMEONE knows we're going to be there and that we're going to try and stop the Cat. Clearing things up beforehand is easier than clearing things up afterwards. Also, have we considered that we might not be the only person to try for the bounty?

>>26816541
"...While I'd like the money, I'd rather not interfere with your dad's plan, and wind up bungling things.

So the only opportunity I'd have to catch the Black Cat, would be after he saw through your dad's plan, assuming he'd be able of doing so.

Chances are that I'd just be spending a boring night lurking on the ceiling, so I don't see the harm in trying."

>>26816660
True.

Maybe we should make a throwaway email address and send something to Jameson?

>>26816562
I mean has the Black Cat completely evaded any form of detection ever?

>>26816660
Why not alert Gwen's dad? No, I'm serious. It's his investigation that we might be screwing up and if all else fails if we manage to get some evidence on the culprit he might be able to swing us some petty cash as an official consultant. That might also help us make some inroads with the local law enforcement. Imagine spiderman not being considered a vigilante because we created a legal framework (updated good Samaritan Laws and maybe a certification course). Baby steps get such balls rolling.

>>26816541
>[ ]Yes

With these >>26816644 >>26816693 for good measure.

>>26816720
How would we go about doing that?

Also we should ask Gwen about what her dad's policy on the whole "open reward" thing.

Like is that even legally sanctioned?

There is a possiblity that black cat has bonded with a symbiote.

>>26816693
I like this. Man, it's really too bad that we can't bring Gwen along as a stake out buddy, but I think her disappearance from home during the OP would probably cause problems for officer Stacy. Next time, maybe. Also, we're an eleventh grader or twelfth? Can't remember, sorry.

>Wait for Black Cat to take statue if cops fail.
>anyone who stops the Black Cat from stealing his wife’s prized emerald cat statue
>Still expecting reward

>>26816779
That sounds more like wishful thinking on your part, based entirely on the word "Black" to me, honestly.

>>26816776
...Huh hadn't considered that.

So we probably need to catch the Black Cat before he gets his hands on the statue?

So somehow we need to get intoJameson's office and lurk there for a while?

>>26816791
You have a point.

Jameson is probably enough of a stickler to consider that a violation of the agreement, and considering we might not want to turn in the Black Cat...

I wonder if JJJ's office is facing a window?

>>26816541
I don't really have a choice. I don't know how bad our money problems are, but they seem really serious. I don't think I can wait around for an actual job.

>>26816791
I mean, if he steals it and we catch him and give it back, pretty sure we still get the reward. Or at least the bonus if he's feeling really pedantic.

>>26816779
I doubt we'd be lucky enough to be exposed to a symbiote this early on.

>>26816541

Yes, with extreme kamen rider style

>>26816850
If he doesn't pay us we could probably sell the story to another paper. Right?

>>26816850
Do you not know JJ?
The contract CLEARLY says if you STOP it, with a bonus if you turn him over too. You failed to catch him before the theft so you loose, you get nothign! Good day Parker!

>>26816880
I know, and I see this being a sort of set up like the Spiderman origin where we get pissy that someone was a dick about the cash, let the criminal go or whatever, then uncle ends up dead.

But that's not gonna happen this time around because genre awareness

>>26816880

"The thing is, for my personal financial situation, all I need to do is wait out the clock until college.

I'm more than smart enough to get a free ride, and as a college student there just might be a job market for me.

But Aunt May and Uncle Ben... I think all they have is Uncle Ben's pension, and whatever he brings in from being a security guard. If it was just the two of them, I'm pretty sure they'd be living comfortably.

But having to take care of a seventeen-year-old? That's expensive. /I'm/ expensive. That's why I feel like I have to do /something/ to help them out.

The fact that this is the best idea I can come up with, should tell you how bad things are out there."

>>26816901
Right. Uncle Ben's going to get killed fending off a home invasion while we're out playing hero.

>>26817008

“Chances are that I'd just be spending a boring night lurking on the ceiling, so I don't see the harm in trying."

She nods as you think of something. “So, do the items just up and vanish or what? Is there no signs or any odd behaviors?”

Gwen shakes her head. “Of course there’s evidence after the fact, but it’s too late by then. Often he breaks security codes by infiltrating the people who have the code and stealing it. Only on the night of the crime does he actually take the prize he’s after. There’s also usually some sort of distraction set when the crime happens, but the methods seem random and there’s no predictable pattern to try to stop. As for violent behavior? Well, again, after the fact, they do find people who have been knocked out that the Black Cat impersonated, but other than a knot on the head and bruised ego’s there’s no lasting damage.

“Honestly, there’s going to be people out and around looking for the Black Cat, but my father’s strictly forbid Jameson from letting any of them in the building. The man might be a jerk, but he’s not entirely stupid. Besides, it’s mainly there to build up publicity. Have you seen how much the Daily Bugle has been selling recently?”

She shakes her head in disgust. “But, still, that’s about all I know. The best bet would be to find yourself a ledge overlooking Jameson's office and keep an eye out. But, still, you will need a disguise, you’re right.
