Charles Blackley's superpower is his brain. He was doing algebra by the age of five, created his first video game, a physics based puzzle game, for a friend's sixth birthday. He's now 32, working as a head engineer at NASA, where he works to a fault. The drawback... He's too smart. He puts people off immediately with his superior tone, people don't like it when he shuts down what they're thinking, or instantly solves a problem they've been working on for hours. Today, he's buying a coffee at a coffee shop, bleary eyed because he was up all night designing a engine for the next mars rover.
*I just came up with a great idea for a superpower. They have the ability to see into the future, but only 3 seconds in advance. So basically they just have superhuman reaction time.*

[That sounds like a really cool concept, and his powers could literally be anything, like ANYTHING. The more outlandish the better lmao, and they don't have to be tied to jobs at all. He could literally just have something dumb like the ability to control glitter, and his main focus as a character could be on his actual life, personality and job rather than his powers, Mob Psycho style lol]
[Also, welcome everyone new, all your characters look great! Seems everyone is seated at the tabel, aside from Vivian outside the café and Tam and Charles just in the café, but although they're not directly seated with Roland and his squad, they can all get roped in one way or another to the plot lol, so let's get started for real now!]
Seeing as he's got a fairly decent gathering, Roland begins his spiel, loud enough for everyone in the café to hear, which is likely intentional on his part. He speaks in a tone similar to that of a university lecturer, saying, 'We all believe we live in a perfect city, where things are just as good as they can be for everyone that lives there. Everyone's needs are accomadated for, everyone gets along, and everything runs smoothly. But, what if I told you that isn't true? What if I told you that things aren't perfect, and that there's a much, much darker secret hiding deep beneath the surface...well, that's what I'm going to tell you.' He pauses for dramatic effect and you hang on to each word of this strangely dressed man, eagerly awaiting him to reveal the dark secret that he's discovered....'The electricity isn't sustainable! They say it's all solar and nuclear but I know for a fact they burn fossil fuels!' You groan, having expected something a little bit more juicy than a white lie about the nature of the cities electricity. Somehow Roland doesn't pick up on this and continues by saying, 'I've campaigned tirelessly for the truth to come to light, but my voice is always silenced! Now, we must take action! I'm gathering a team to drive out with me to the powerplant about a half hour from here and shut things down! Then they'll have to listen! Who's with me?!'
*Question, was everyone born just knowing what their power was, or did they have to figure it out?*
[Sorry I didn't see this until now, powers are identified about a week or two after birth since babies are likely to use them uncontrollably. Sometimes obscure powers don't come to light until the child is maybe 4-5, but it's almost impossible for a child to reach late childhood or their teen years without learning their power. As soon as a power is identified and confirmed, it's put on the baby's city passport that acts like a key to get to certain places around the city, and then listed in a government data base.]

Cal raises his hand “Is it really all that important? And let’s say you do shut it down. Know what? Because congratulations, you just destroyed the city’s power source, which will cause more problems than it solves. Also, I probably won’t be allowed to leave T-Block anymore, and chances are no one else will be able to leave as well.”

Henri shakes his head in disappointment “So you’re suggesting Eco Terrorist as a solution?” He looks to the guy he helped, the man with the buzz cut “I expected better of you man.” He gets up from his chair and dusts off his clothes “I’ve got to get ready for my job soon anyway. So if he doesn’t have anything else to say I’m out of here, anyone who’s got my contacts can call me whenever if they need something though.” He gets up from his chair and pays for the tea “I’ll see ya later April, I’ve got work to do.” Then he begins to leave.
Roland looks fairly shocked at the negative response. He imagined Greg would have gathered like minded people to come to this event and not just randoms, for whatever reason. April goes to leave with Henri when Roland gets up and shouts 'WAIT! I have money!' His voice trembles as he says '$10,000. For each of you.' Greg sees a few sceptical faces and murmurs, still backed against a wall, 'He ain't lying, he has the cash to pay you out each for it.' He pulls back the sleeve of his manky hoody that replaced his jacket to reveal a very nice looking digital watch. A little version of him is playing ping-pong on screen against the side of the screen, but seems to miss every shot. Maybe that's Cal's fault, maybe it isn't. He looks to Henri and says 'I know ya would have wanted me to do better man, but ya gotta admit, this is the best payin' gig around. After this, imma go back to trynna find a job as an actor, trust.'
Roland ignores his words and turns to Cal, leaning down so he's almost bent level over the table and hissing in quite the serious tone 'So you're from T-Block, huh? Then you should know what it's like to be under a ball and chain by the people that run the place. You can skip out if you want but when we shut things down, it'll a domino effect across town that'll only keep falling until they get things sorted and give us what we want; the truth. A little broken promise can mean a whole lot more than you think.'
Standing back up and looking around the stunned café, he says 'So, does my cash offer change any minds? I can up the price, but spaces are limited!' A geeky boy at the till asks 'C-can I come?' and Roland snaps back with 'Not a chance, I'm only paying you to stop spreading our plans to the higher ups. Besides, you can only make latte foam out your fingers so you'll be no use to the team.'
Henri shoots around as soon as he hears 10,000 “You have [gp]ing how much?!” He walks back over and looks at Greg “I understand, I’ll be able to pay for my families hospital bills with that kind of money as a start out. I would rather not do this job, but it seems I need to.” He sits back down with a sigh “Where are we going? Because I’m pretty sure I can get us there without much difficulty. Anyone who doesn’t know, my ability is teleportation, on my own it’s not that bad, but with other people over long distances I can get pretty sick, but if it means that I can help out, I’ll do it. I know things aren’t going to be easy, and from what it sounds like they’ve probably got guns, but I’ve got enough experience with that at my job.”
Cal looks up at Roland. His gold eye gleaming with annoyance “You’re delusional. Absolutely snapped. But for 10k… fine. I’ll help. 10,000 would be enough for some temporary relief for the people affected by the power outage. At least for a little while.”

Charles Blackley stares at this man in confusion. "Fossil fuels? Really? I can show you the calculations if you want them. The nuclear reactors at the power plant have approximate diameters of 15 ft, and an approximate height of 50 feet. The steam rising from the reactors is white, not black, so there's no fire. There are about 20 of the reactors." He continues speaking, but that's about all of thhe speech that is comprehensible, however, it is accurate.

Standing back up and looking around the stunned café, he says 'So, does my cash offer change any minds? I can up the price, but spaces are limited!'
Tam fumbles and drops his phone. Luckily, he portals it and catches it just in time. He does some quick math. $10,000 would be enough to keep him living semi-comfortably in his apartment for at least another 2 months. "I'm in. Sounds like it could be fun."
*Also nuclear power isn't sustainable unless you're talking about fusion. Fission requires a specific uranium ion that's not easily renewable, and the radioactive waste is a problem*

"$10k? Wellllll... I suppose that's a lot. I'm gonna need more though. You see, I have this idea..." he looks thoughtful for a second, "I'll help. For $25k."
[Hey, this is the guy with the tinfoil hat and seemingly endless bank account we're talking about lmao. But still, that's a good point though, I wonder if they'd have superpowered ways to make energy?]
Roland grins at a the newfound interest. 'Well...' he says in response to Henri, 'The powerplant is about 25 miles away, so about 30 minutes away by car, but if you could teleport us, that'd be great!' Turning to the newly interested Charles he says 'Seems like we've got an engineer on our hands! Tell me, did you work there or are you just aware of those facts? Even if you are, I'd assume you're not entirely aware of the truth. My insider source tells me it's fossil fuels and we need to go shut that off, so I'm more inclined to believe them, though such a grand intellect seems useful to us!' He taps his hat knowingly and says 'I'm a see-it-to-believe-it type guy y'know?' Once he's finished, he says 'Alrighty, if we can teleport over there's no reason we couldn't do it this afternoon and get back for supper!' Clapping his hands in glee he murmurs 'This gonna be one heck of a payload!'
Henri sighs and grabs his things “Well I’ve got to tell my family about this, and I’ve still got a job to do, so see yall later. I’ll be at my job.” He flips open his phone and calls his mother as he walks out of the cafe, grabbing two somethings out of his pocket. He puts them on his fingers before going out of sight, unless someone wants to follow him.

Clapping his hands in glee he murmurs 'This gonna be one heck of a payload!'
"I haven't worked there... so I suppose it could be true. However, mathematically, the power generated is roughly equal to the power used by the city. There must be a darker secret if they're burning fossil fuels. They wouldn't do it for no reason, the electricity may be going somewhere. As for teleporting, I'm fine with it. However, we're gonna need ground suits. Teleport us to my home first, then."
[A ground suit is a hazmat suit made almost entirely out of copper, with a 500 foot 1 Guage copper wire coming from the back of it, with a clip at the back to attach to a ground pile. It will conceal our identities and protect us from electrical shock.]

Roland ignores his words and turns to Cal, leaning down so he's almost bent level over the table and hissing in quite the serious tone 'So you're from T-Block, huh? Then you should know what it's like to be under a ball and chain by the people that run the place. You can skip out if you want but when we shut things down, it'll a domino effect across town that'll only keep falling until they get things sorted and give us what we want; the truth. A little broken promise can mean a whole lot more than you think.'
Standing back up and looking around the stunned café, he says 'So, does my cash offer change any minds? I can up the price, but spaces are limited!' A geeky boy at the till asks 'C-can I come?' and Roland snaps back with 'Not a chance, I'm only paying you to stop spreading our plans to the higher ups. Besides, you can only make latte foam out your fingers so you'll be no use to the team.'

Henri shoots around as soon as he hears 10,000 “You have [gp]ing how much?!” He walks back over and looks at Greg “I understand, I’ll be able to pay for my families hospital bills with that kind of money as a start out. I would rather not do this job, but it seems I need to.” He sits back down with a sigh “Where are we going? Because I’m pretty sure I can get us there without much difficulty. Anyone who doesn’t know, my ability is teleportation, on my own it’s not that bad, but with other people over long distances I can get pretty sick, but if it means that I can help out, I’ll do it. I know things aren’t going to be easy, and from what it sounds like they’ve probably got guns, but I’ve got enough experience with that at my job.”
Cal looks up at Roland. His gold eye gleaming with annoyance “You’re delusional. Absolutely snapped. But for 10k… fine. I’ll help. 10,000 would be enough for some temporary relief for the people affected by the power outage. At least for a little while.”
Yo, I'm Himy (He/him) not as active as I use to be, but I'm here from time to time. I don't got much else to say.

”The elements coalesce, amalgamate, and bring forth the star that interweaves all creation. Bow down with death! Enuma Elish!”
Charles Blackley stares at this man in confusion. "Fossil fuels? Really? I can show you the calculations if you want them. The nuclear reactors at the power plant have approximate diameters of 15 ft, and an approximate height of 50 feet. The steam rising from the reactors is white, not black, so there's no fire. There are about 20 of the reactors." He continues speaking, but that's about all of thhe speech that is comprehensible, however, it is accurate.

Tam fumbles and drops his phone. Luckily, he portals it and catches it just in time. He does some quick math. $10,000 would be enough to keep him living semi-comfortably in his apartment for at least another 2 months. "I'm in. Sounds like it could be fun."
*Also nuclear power isn't sustainable unless you're talking about fusion. Fission requires a specific uranium ion that's not easily renewable, and the radioactive waste is a problem*

HE'S BACK... AND WEIRDER THAN EVER!
"$10k? Wellllll... I suppose that's a lot. I'm gonna need more though. You see, I have this idea..." he looks thoughtful for a second, "I'll help. For $25k."
[A paper drops out of a flash of light and drifts to the ground at your feet] -(extended sig)-
[Hey, this is the guy with the tinfoil hat and seemingly endless bank account we're talking about lmao. But still, that's a good point though, I wonder if they'd have superpowered ways to make energy?]
Roland grins at a the newfound interest. 'Well...' he says in response to Henri, 'The powerplant is about 25 miles away, so about 30 minutes away by car, but if you could teleport us, that'd be great!' Turning to the newly interested Charles he says 'Seems like we've got an engineer on our hands! Tell me, did you work there or are you just aware of those facts? Even if you are, I'd assume you're not entirely aware of the truth. My insider source tells me it's fossil fuels and we need to go shut that off, so I'm more inclined to believe them, though such a grand intellect seems useful to us!' He taps his hat knowingly and says 'I'm a see-it-to-believe-it type guy y'know?' Once he's finished, he says 'Alrighty, if we can teleport over there's no reason we couldn't do it this afternoon and get back for supper!' Clapping his hands in glee he murmurs 'This gonna be one heck of a payload!'

Henri sighs and grabs his things “Well I’ve got to tell my family about this, and I’ve still got a job to do, so see yall later. I’ll be at my job.” He flips open his phone and calls his mother as he walks out of the cafe, grabbing two somethings out of his pocket. He puts them on his fingers before going out of sight, unless someone wants to follow him.
"I haven't worked there... so I suppose it could be true. However, mathematically, the power generated is roughly equal to the power used by the city. There must be a darker secret if they're burning fossil fuels. They wouldn't do it for no reason, the electricity may be going somewhere. As for teleporting, I'm fine with it. However, we're gonna need ground suits. Teleport us to my home first, then."

[A ground suit is a hazmat suit made almost entirely out of copper, with a 500 foot 1 Guage copper wire coming from the back of it, with a clip at the back to attach to a ground pile. It will conceal our identities and protect us from electrical shock.]
