[UA] Dead Presidents Campaign, final stages

[Gareth Hanrahan]

Finally, all the Presidents are back together, and working with Alex Able to
take down the Original Conspiracy and establish a new magical order in the
United States, the exact nature of which has yet to be determined. The plan
- use a ritual to blast open the geomantic protection of the capital, then
covertly kill the conspiracy and put the 'real' President Bush back in the
White House, removing his doppleganger.

However, the ritual would involve the annihilation of one of the Dead
Presidents.

Able has a solution to this, though. Last session, when the National Guard
(under Washington's magical command) attacked Disneyland, they shot Snow
White - the embodiment of all the magical power collected by the undead head
of Walt Disney. Snow White exploded in a 'magic nukuler whammy', to quote
President Bush, and a large chunk of the power got lodged in the body of a
Mak Attak member and avatar of the Flying Woman. They can use her as a
proxy, saving any of the Presidents from being destroyed. Kennedy talks her
into agreeing to this. Hoover, who's working with Mak Attack, has severe
reservations.

Washington (actually Adam Weishaupt, who spent most of the session
incarnated in the body of a stuffed toy* courtesy of Teddy Roosevelt, who
never actually died but found the Fountain of Youth) and Nixon agree with
sacrificing the girl. At the last moment, though, Bush decides that it would
be unChristian to sacrifice a girl, even if she is glowing blue, and takes
her place.

Hoover kills Bush, and the magical defences of Washington DC collapse... and
that's where the penultimate session stopped.

Next week, the plan is for a team consisting of Washington, Kennedy, Nixon,
JFK and sundry NPCs (candidates include Eponymous from TNI, Ivan Stahl from
the Mak Attack book, and many other TNI thugs) to sneak into the White House
via an Otherspace, kill the fake president and possess Cheney.

* I'm thinking of having the Otherspace be a sort of temporal short cut,
into a previous Washington DC. I might have the Count show up there.
* NPCs I'd like to have show up again are the psychotic Goofy who kneecapped
Washington's...third body (he's on body number eight at the moment, I think,
if we count teddy bears and ectoplasmic doubles); maybe Roosevelt; possibly
Superconductor from Mak Attack; maybe the Count de Saint-Germaine
* The conspiracy have at least one guy who can create magical duplicates of
people - I don't know if they're clockworks or golems or political spin made
flesh. Ideas?
* I need to find a replacement character for Bush's player to play for the
session.

Next session's the last week.

If anyone has any ideas for cool over-the-top climactic stuff, shout :)
