Apokolips Now! Comm

I hope we're still on for Thanksgiving. Mom said unless something really wild happens they will recess on Friday for the holiday so expect a mountain of food.

I have to say I don't miss the monsters.

So I will be collecting data on worlds from people if they'll allow me to ask them. Hopefully if we have enough data to compare we can find commonalities as to who is being brought here which might lead to why.

Hey Cordelia, less desire to call someone master and possibly eat bugs now that Dracula is gone?

Sorry, I'm off patrols for now until I find a way to get a sun overdose. Watch out for a guy who looks like a digger in an Egyptian tomb. He's hard on people who aren't good with magic.

[Lois]
Sorry I'm a terrible patient. But thanks for shuttling me out to feed Shelby.

What's going on? Come on! It was Annie's turn to play the kidnapped Batman love interest! It was me the last three times, Abed. We're even for the grappling hook, now, seriously. She doesn't make a very good Catwoman, anyway. No offense, Annie. Where am I? I gotta get back; it's Inspector Space Time night, this isn't funny. Come out and get me, guys, or I'm calling Jeff. I mean it.

...if a guy gave you flowers, what would you What's your favorite flower?

...it's kind of nice out here. It reminds me a little of District 10...

[Oliver]
Still all right?

I should have asked earlier since these things keep showing back up...do any of the scientists want one? I can control one enough to bring it to you for study or possibly for locking up tight to see if it can get out or not.

I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to have a running list of who all everyone has run into at this point. I'm not filtering this because if any of the usual suspects have seen one I'd still like to know. Feel free to filter them out when you reply.

From reading the boards and personal experience we've had:

Michael Meyers
Leatherface
the idiots from Scream
Freddy Kreuger
Possibly Cujo?
and those creepy kids Darcy saw (Corn kids or Village of the Damned?)
Chucky
Jason from Friday the 13th
Hocus Pocus witches
Clown from IT
Dracula

Anyone else need to be added?

So...going outside is kind of overrated, here, I've decided.

[Clark]
Thank you. Seriously...can't say it enough.

[Lois]
So, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being holy-shit cray, just how fucking insane are you, anyway? Like...is that kind of par for the course for you or...was I just that lucky?

In other news, I'm fairly certain a shared near death experience warrants friendship, now, does it not? Seeing as how that was a point of contention yesterday, I thought I'd mention it.

Oh and also... I fucking told you so :P

[Cordelia]
Sorry I was all weird yesterday...but thanks for humoring me. Very cool of you. ♥

[Belated filter to Oliver]
How secure is "secure", whoever owns Watchtower...?

[Cordelia and Lois]
I can't tell which one of you this is for but Please stay inside tonight. And most of tomorrow. If you have to go out, whoever the dark-haired guy is, he's tr take me with you, okay? So you're not by yourself? I can see the signs, at least.

[Banner]
I smell smoke. A lot of it. I can't tell if it's supposed to be here or somewhere else, but I think there's going to be a fire... It's not a natural one. It's meant to smoke someone out of somewhere, I think...but I can't see anything; just smoke. That's not useful, I know, but...I have to unload, you know? It hurts if I don't.

Anyone who is able and willing to patrol, we need all of you out there. These people dressed up as Halloween villains are dangerous. This isn't a Halloween party that just let out, people have been hurt and the police isn't being able to handle the increased volume in calls.

They seem to be concentrating in the metropolitan area, all the way from Campus, to Suicide Slams, to Uptown Metropolis. We need to cover as much ground as possible.

For those of you who can't fight, please stay inside Watchtower or another safe location. Lock doors and windows and keep an eye on the boards for updates. Watchtower security is as high as it can be right now, that means that any non-resident will have to be escorted in all the way to the elevator or they will not be able to make it into the building.

I'd also like to ask all of you who have work or school tomorrow not to go, I will provide a doctor's note if necessary.

ETA: Two things:
1) I have communicators for those of you who want to patrol so we can remain in contact.
2) If anyone sees a very large dog, about 8 to 10 feet tall, he's on our side. Don't attack it, or he might attack back. Let me know if you feel like it's a problem and I'll contact the owner.

ETA 2: If any of you get hurt, we have a doctor in the building that can help. She'll be on the 21st floor.

According to the news, a family of five was killed by a man wearing a white mask. Witnesses said the guy was dressed like Michael Myers from the Halloween movies.

I strongly advise everyone stay inside with the doors locked until this is sorted out.

Chloe

We have a first aid kit there, right?


OOC: This post isn't Oliver as Oliver, but as Green Arrow, so if your character doesn't know they are one in the same, he'll just appear to be a guy dressed head to toe in tight green leather and wielding a bow and arrow. However, if your character is from one of the other worlds and recognizes Green Arrow AS Oliver Queen, I'm cool with that, too.

Bloody hell.

Actual BLOODY hell.

Amanda, MacLeod, I'm afraid I made a mess on the floor when I came home. All better now. I'll clean it up after I've had a drink.

Uh, so just to double check, it's not actually Halloween yet, right?

I miss having my own kitchen...

[Cordelia]
I think I might come back to Watchtower soon. Do you know who lives in the apartments on the first or second floors, by chance? Besides, Rachel, I know where she lives Is it still okay if I

[Rachel]
Hey...do you think I could sit in on another of your rehearsals...? I enjoyed it last time. I mean, if you wouldn't get in trouble for it or anything.

[ooc: added a few minutes later]

[Oliver]
Chloe said you said that it was okay if I use your kitchen to bake for that job fair...but before she said that, I invited Rachel to help me. ...should I see if I can use Rachel's kitchen or is that okay with you...?

For those of you still looking for a job, or just looking for a better one, I will be organizing a job fair with Oliver Queen of Queen Industries and Bruce Banner of Bannertech here at Watchtower this Saturday.

They both know about the Rift so you don't have to worry about lying about your qualifications and hopefully we can find a place for most of you.

Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise, the fair will be on the first floor, from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday.

I'm here. I didn't want to tell you because I thought it would hurt more than help, but I didn't want to not tell you and have the same thing happen. So...I'm in Metropolis. I'll try to stay out of your way, though.


[Filtered to Lois and Oliver]

First, Oliver. I'm glad to see you're feeling better. You had a whole lot of people really worried for a while, there.

Second, the three of us should start developing a plan for how we're going to get through to Chloe. Thoughts?

So for various reasons since all of you displaced people started showing up here, I haven't really been around much. But I'm back now.

My name's Oliver Queen. And I'm here to help.

...when a three year old prefaces anything with "don't be mad, Mama, but..." you know there's something broken. Fun fact of the day.

Why didn't you say Lana was back in town?
