**I need an NPC or obligation for Summer to interact with. In what context?**
**School (pick, or roll 1d6):**
1. [Nono Rodriguez](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Nono_Rodriguez) - a friend at school
_Needs help with homework; personal worries or anxieties; wants to hang out; fanfic or superheroic obsession_
2. [Cayden](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Cayden) - well-meaning activist boy from school, who also knows she works at Blintzkrieg, not named on screen yet
3. [A10](http://wiki.menagerie.team/A10) - member of the Irregulators
_Needs to talk to someone about superteams; needs to talk about Harry; flying-brick mentorship_
4. [Hot Mess](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Hot_Mess) - an enemy-or-rival-or-something with ties to Nono
_Is messing with the school; is stalking Nono; causing problems for another hero; challenge to duel_
5. [Dr. Schumer & GYRO](https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6504392/44-dot-1-shop-talk) - teachers in the science department
_Wants to study Leo as a super; situation involving robot rights or super-ethics; needs to talk about recent heroic activities_
6. [Pharos](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Pharos) - an ex-JHHL member with a cynical attitude toward superheroics
_Curiosity about Menagerie; cynical warning about current activities; concerns about present-day JHHL_
**Work (pick, or roll 1d6):**
1. [Chaima](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Chaima) - the manager at Blintzkrieg
_Adding new responsibilities or enforcing current ones; has concerns about customer interactions; schedule changes_
2. [Ryan](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Ryan) - a coworker at Blintzkrieg
_Needs Summer to change shifts; did something irresponsible and needs coverage; has some big-brotherly mentoring to give_
3. Nono or another Pony
4. A regular customer
5. An irregular or stranger
6. Something else
**Superheroics:**
- A10 or other Irregulators
- Kid Kelvin - member of the JHHL
_Rossum-related business (if [Too Cool](https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6568405/45-dot-7-too-cool) pays off); JHHL or Menagerie concerns_
- [Rossum](https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6362710/38-dot-2-evening-at-pops) - an evil-godfather Drosselmeyer type relationship
- [Troll](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Troll) - Summer might inherit the rivalry Leo/Otto had
- [SNOWMAN](https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6126236/masks-28-dot-2-snowman-cutscene/) - a younger, much less mature version of Leo
- [Rosa Rook](http://wiki.menagerie.team/Rosa_Rook) - once kidnapped Pneuma, may try to interfere with her as well
**I need something to go wrong on a missed roll using her powers. Pick, or roll 1d6:**
1. Hologram starts glitching - illusions or traps are revealed, hard light doesn’t lift, carry, or protect, etc.
2. A new untested system (e.g. butterfly drones) fail to work properly
3. Visualization system picks up on subconscious impulses and a manifestation goes weird (e.g. instead of a protective dome, the hologram is a giant umbrella)
4. Output calibration failure - she uses too much oomph (or too little)
5. Comic invulnerability - something big falls on her or hits her, Powerful Blow and/or “take a turn to get out of it” optional
6. Power distribution - she loses juice for a moment, or (if she’s been exerting herself for a long time) she’s low on power and must recharge soon

Edit: moved super NPCs to the original post to keep people from scrolling.
