PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

It's become all kinds of trendy being so close to the New Year and all so I guess it's our turn now! JUSTICE LEAGUE ROLL CALL.

We don't really have ranks except maybe if you're Batman and I hope I don't get yelled at for doing this if he wanted t But I was curious to who all is here. I think you all know me, I'm Virgil Hawkins. Static to the Justice League. I think it's time we have a headcount and possibly a recruiting session. There are a few new faces in the city, so this seemed like a good plan.

We work together with Angel Investigations and cover the more human side of big bads in the city. Just because our specialty is more with the citizens that doesn't mean being part of the Justice League will get you out of vampire-duty. We were given powers and with that the ability to help anyway we can.

Being part of the Justice League means exactly that. Helping others. Making the world a safer place and doing as much good along the way as we are able.

That being said don't be shy, we don't bite (much). If you prefer a "screened" response that's fine too, I wasn't to keen on the sharing of my identity at first either.

Thanks everyone for all the gifts, I really like them all. If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen hitting people with flying my new helicopter!

You know, having a knife held to your throat is really not fun for anyone. Just when you thought Walmart was safe. Then again, it's L.A., and night isn't always the best time, especially in a section of the lot that's not well lit. Still.. it could have been worse. Least it wasn't a bunch of troops with guns and other weapons again. Didn't really hurt, though. Just a bit of a poke. It was a bit tense for a moment. That mugger really wasn't playing around. He really wanted to cut me, and all for a game system But it's fine now. He's alive too, so it all works out.

The thing works quite nicely, especially on those flat-screen HD television sets. Not sure it'd look well on the regular TVs. Another funny thing about that amnesia thing, not once did I go to a fancy, five star restaurant. All fast food and microwave dinners. Of course, I go to the good places now. But then.. well. I liked KFC. Mmm, fried chicken. I like fried chicken now. Best I had, though, was Popeye's Chicken. Damn, that's good! Love chicken. I'd probably eat it every night. I can't believe how many Popeye's there are here. Guarantee you'd run across a few. Google search turned up at six to eight branches in this city. Can't really blame them, chicken is really good.

I've found Clark. But he's wearing all black, with a trenchcoat too. His clothes seemed very expensive. But.. I know that the all-black thing is what he wears when on Red K. But he wasn't clubbing, flirting, or stealing anything. He actually looked very calm. Just one problem. He was handing a wad of money to what looked like a demon. I tracked him down to another part of town where he gave a set of keys to another guy. Had to be a vampire. I could see fangs.

I don't think he saw me. I was in the background. Even if he did see, it doesn't look like he recognized me. But what about what I saw him doing? He could be an enforcer for the mob. Or a bodyguard. Or maybe even an agent of the firm?? Since they did this, I can't exactly say it's not a surprise. But I can't stress enough that normal people, it is NOT a good idea to go against him. Not alone. Also.. I read another post here a while back. That kid Lyle.. Claire's brother. He did mention something about a near accident with himself, and something about a dark blur that only lasted a second or two. That might have been Clark.

If you can see this, you're not on the list of those affected by what the Senior Partners pulled off. I could be wrong on a few names here and there but we've got some people still unaccounted for. If I'm missing anyone, I'll add them to the filter.

Ben brought up a really good point. Even though we don't know what has been done to these people to mess up their memories, we can still try and get through to them. It might not work but it would give us a reason to stick close to the affected, keep an eye on them and make sure no harm comes to them until we can reverse it.

This is just a suggestion but I'm thinking maybe the magic types can pow wow and see what you all can come up with? I know, big and powerful Senior Partners, but every little bit would help. Then we could have some people try and locate those that are still MIA? And of course, others trying to help the memory addled to remember correctly. ETA: Buffy also brought up a good point. Go easy with the information! We don't want any broken brains!

I'm all open to any suggestions, ideas, plans, something. I know some of us don't get along but if we want things back to normal, the more we work together on this, the better.

[ooc: People in the C category can see this as well :)]

So is there a reason why we still remember who we are, who everyone else is and so on? Are we "special" or did we just luck out?

Okay.. I've been reading. Just what the hell is going on this time? I got a feeling we're all being screwed with again. Also, has anyone seen Clark? Tall, dark hair, loves baking pies? Wears red and blue? You know, the superguy on our team. Maybe he's working on a case with another team. But I haven't heard of any big threat right now that'd cause JL, AI, and others to join up again.

I've been patrolling with Clark a couple nights. We met this other cyborg. It was cool. But did anyone see him come in last night? He's not been in his room all day. And there's no pie. I don't think he was sent back.. least, I hope not. His stuff is still here. I think I know him well enough to say that it is not like him to forget informing us if he'll be outside longer. And no, he's not scoping out Thorn's home, I already checked

I need a roll call on who usually takes part in the getting rid of bad guys in the city deal. Or at least, anyone who's in against the Scourge. I don't know many of you, so I need to know who you are and what you can do. There's two places the Scourge are located, so I need to know the numbers and skills we have to work with. I understand the Justice League is in, but that doesn't really mean much to me, other than powerful people, so I'd like a roll call from you guys too.

I've heard talk of disguises, ideally it would be awesome if we could have people on the inside. But I don't know if we have time for something like that, so probably not, unless someone people are really just that good.

If anyones good with bows, crossbows, attacking from a distance, let me know that as well.

I need you on this. If you're up for it.

I hate things that look like cages but once you’re in them, they’re not really normal cages. I mean… it’s already been done. You don’t have to be a copy cat and do it again. Try some originality. It’s really not that hard.

Other than that minor setback, that wasn’t such a bad vacation. I’m insanely adaptable, it turns out.

[Filtered to the JLA and allies.]

And before someone goes in there and starts looking… I ate all the food in the kitchen. You can’t blame me for it though. It’s Mercer’s fault. She starved me over a timeframe of two hours. That’s a long time. BUT there is cat food in there though. Not that anyone should try eating it. Because you shouldn’t.

Anyway. Does anyone know where Clark is? I’d go look but I don’t feel like moving right now. But I COULD if I wanted to. Just so you know. I could run a marathon right now. Honest. Except that's a lie.

Kal won't be bothering anyone anymore. Actually I don't think it was his fault in the first place. As soon as I took off this weird ring he was wearing he didn't even want to keep fighting. I'm sorry I couldn't do it sooner.

The Clock Tower is just fucking gone. Has anyone seen Barbara or heard from Oracle?

I don't know how much longer I can do th

[ooc: post this as nightwing]

[Filtered against baddies and Oracle]

Still trying to find her, to track the source. Keep coming up against walls. Or I'm led to a false pathway. She's very good. Better than me. And it's taking pretty much all my energy to crack it. But I do know binary as a second language. One of the perks of being half machine, plus being able to interface with computer system. Let me know if anyone needs a translation for the good guys. I'll pass it along.

So.. I heard what happened. Were you on crack? Smoking weed? I think I may want a hit of that, yo. I need to know something, though. Do the rest of us need to sleep with one eye open? You planning to do us next? Well.. me and Terry, since the rest are evil. I need to know whether or not we need to worry. Come on, help a brother out here.

Nasty business about that chip, though. I bet Clark had something to do with removing it At least it's not in you anymore. I guess that Tess can be a real bitch. You might not be ours, or one of us at all, but we're still in the business of saving a guy's life. Even though that particular guy nearly killed one of my best friends. Still, life is important. And you might want to avoid Kal. Not someone to be around if he's pissed.

[ooc: Yes. He has no idea. xD]

Cyborg you can do it right, track her? It is still Oracle isn't it? I mean. It's gotta be. I don't know if I can handle t If you can do that then we can figure out what's going on. I'm gonna need your help on this. I'm gonna need both of you. I have little desire to take on the JLA by myself. We still have to find and deal with Kal, then Bart, and Static. and Batman, but they don't need to know that yet

[ooc: meet the AU Cylon!Sam!]

California. Well, I been meaning to take a vacation for a while. Guess some of us earned it after a beast like that was taken out. But it's weird. I could have sworn I was in Keystone City ten minutes ago.

Arrow? AC? Impulse? Black Canary? Boy Scout! Come on. Anyone, please.. tell me you're out there. Or that you're here. I think we need to regroup. Plan. Strategize. Kick some ass. Could always go it alone, but I miss my friends

Anyone out there good with mechanics? Electronics?

JACK HAVOCK, I SWEAR BY EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY WITHIN THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT THAT YOU WILL PAY SEVERELY FOR YOUR CRIMES! YOU CAN NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS. PEOPLE SHALL BE LOOKING FOR ME.

Bonjour, pardon me but I do believe I have somewhat become lost from my caregiver. If anyone could kindly help me get to a man by the name of Jack Havock Ignatius Flint, I will owe you very much. You see, I can't do so myself, as I am very and ill and in a wheelchair. What do you call this thing I am now using?

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WAS THAT THING THAT JUST ROARED PAST?!

This is not funny, at all.

So, could someone please explain to me how or why the hell I’m not in my flat, or London atleast, and here instead? Because I really don’t remember getting on a plane or feel the after effects of a teleport and I’m guessing I’m not dead or in a coma..or am I?

..what’s going on?

How did I end up here? What is going on?! Where am I?! One second I was with my cousin, and then - I was here.

Is this some sort of joke? A trick? Dr. Suresh? Bob? This isn't some test is it? If it is it is NOT a good one! Am I dreaming?

Niki? Micah? Are you here?! Are you two alright?! Oh God, please tell me you're okay! Please, please, please tell me you're okay!!

Niki you can't be dead! You got out some other way. God, God, please don't let her be dead! It's all my fault if she is! I should have waited for the police! I shouldn't have tried to be the hero Micah saw in me!

Looks like you were right about those vampires, Bart. I ran into some last night. They're almost as unattractive as AC is.

I've been staying at this hotel. I guess the people in the lobby are big football fans. They're always watching games when I pass through.

Brings back memories.

Hey Hyperion people, I got the pizza for Peter from that Crosby place in New York and dropped it off. It’s in the kitchen. I was feeling generous and giving so I got five and stuck them on the counter. Make sure to share but let Peter have the most because he’s the one who wanted it in the first place and it might make him sad if somebody were to hog down all his pizza before he got to it.

Victor I made Kara go with me to the really big toy store and I got you a present. It’s a robot dog and it barks and walks around and everything. It also lights up in the dark. I saw it and thought of you. I’m not lying. I’m bringing it to you with the cupcakes. You will enjoy it.

Diana, Oliver, Kara, everybody else! Guess what? I was in MacArthur Park, like five minutes ago and this awesome turn of events happened. There was this tornado thing. I made it. I ran around in a circle and made a whirlwind, and the thing was frickin wicked. I didn’t know I could make those. I never did that before. I wanna do it again. Somebody should come see.

Sounds like Luthor is giving you people a hard time.

Why am I not surprised?

He's gone.

I can't...feel him anymore.

Oliver? AC? Bart?

This isn't funny.
