WOW! Deja vue!
Sorry Doctor if my post disappointed you, I apologize for having ruined your expectations.
Frankly, I though your post was more of a jokingly remark to a poor developed point of the plot, than a true opening for a plot advancement. I really didn’t believe you was thinking that the “director” of a team of professional adventurer, along with the tickets didn’t procure some means of false documents to cross the border. Do you think that having a bunch of people running across the lowliest part of the island to find the false passport just minutes before their departing flight would have been “credible”? If that’s the case, sorry again. As for the fact that everyone is ready to go in a foreign land notwithstanding their situation, well, it’s their job. Speaking only for my character, it’s his land, he is away from nearly one year and a half, and he’s dying to return, no matter what it could cost him.
About the story, don’t forget that nothing is ruined, after all. If you prefer they reach Italy the hard way, you can have the La Perdita police discover their false identity BEFORE they depart. Or some other mishap that any of you can come up with.
By the way, I find somehow exaggerated that it was this episode to upset you, when before we had :
1) A complete stranger appearing inside the headquarter trying to kill a member of the team, that is consequently admitted inside the group with no one objecting.
2) The apex of the battle with the Beast and the vampires, the culminating point of a storyline lasted three months and seven page, resolved in four or five lines without any trace of team interplay.
Last thing: I am sure it is due to my still less than basic understanding of the American idiom, but I fail to intend what you mean with “Euro has made it clear that the starting of the "Hero Revolution" is a big part of his character, but turns around and ignores it completely when it might hinder his character”.
I have tried to show the evolution of the Cicciotto character trough all his misadventures.
He started as a lonely man, fallen from success to a life divided between a sad life (as a junkie) and a public face (as an owner of a little restaurant) that discovers of being father of a child he didn’t know.
He crosses the Atlantic to find this child, fails but find true friends, and begins to think to have a mission to help his kinds all over the globe. But when he is near to start his “Revolution” it fails by the hand of other metahumans.
He is a disillusioned man, but a new friendship ignite new hope in him. Also, the idea of the revolution is dead in him, after what he experienced, and believe that the example to the world a team of meta like the MBL could give the world is better than any revolution.
At this point, he finds Ladnikia, and a new transformation happens in him, and soon it will be evident where it will bring it.
I understand all this could be somehow confusing, especially since most key things happened in my solo story… I don’t know how I could help… surely I envy Dirk Bell, with his well developed and original “I got not fucking powers so I must be the smartest of you all” philosophy, but I know I will never been able to give Euro a definite, lasting character.
So, fire me again!
