Excuse me? Could someone please help me? I don't know where I am or what this strange device is. This place is so strange. It's frightening.

I was heading to my grandmother's house and I lost my way.

Mother was right. I shouldn't have tarried. But the flowers were so pretty, and I knew grandmother would love them.

( OOC: Say hello to Little Red Riding Hood. )

[ the video clicks on with the picture slightly out of focus; the viewer can just make out the form of someone in front of the camera and hear soft muttering ]

Stupid cheap equipment. I knew I should have ordered the next in the series with the auto-focus opti- oh. There it is...

[ the picture suddenly focuses and you can just make out half of zoe's face, with goggles much too big for her perched precariously on top of her head. she sighs heavily and finally the view pans down until you can see her entirely in the screen. behind her is an obvious lab of some sort. ]

Mwhahahahaha! Hello, fellow captives of this city! Don't bother trying to turn off your device for I, Doctor Horrible - criminal mastermind - have taken control! [ a beat; she leans a little closer to the camera and, once again, her upper torso, neck, and chin drop from view ] Well, you can turn them off, but don't! If you do, you'll miss my important announcement, which is this.

[ she clears her throat and settles back down in front of the camera ]

This city is currently overrun with [ airquotes ] heroes and this just won't do. What you all need is someone with a plan and that someone is me. Dr. Horrible. Soooo...

[ a pause ]

I'm going to be taking over now. I have something very big planned for tomorrow night and not even you, Captain Hammer - [ again she leans forward, her tone turning annoyed as she glares into the camera ] - and I know you're watching this, you overgrown bully - [ she sits back down and clears her throat ] will be able to stop me from instilling order into this city the proper way!

Mwhahahahaha! [ she stops her 'evil laugh' and clears her throat ]

That is all. For now.

[ video ends abruptly ]

[OOC: Zoe dressed up as Dr. Horrible for Halloween. So, yes. Tiny, bumbling evil genius, at your service folks! As this is a video post, there isn't an option for replies (it's not Youtube, sorry!) but feel free to post about it and even notice who she really is, considering her disguise isn't really much of a disguise at all. Enjoy!]

[a sigh]

Oh bother. Where am I this time? I'm most definitely not in Kansas anymore but this certainly doesn't look like Oz either...

[there is a bark from a dog]

Oh, Auntie Em is going to be so very worried, Toto. We must get home again. We simply must!

[ooc: Yep. Molly dressed as Dorothy for Halloween. And she dressed her dog, Brandy, up as Toto. So here they are!]

Don't think you're going to get away that easily, Dr. Horrible. You're nothing more than a geek in an oversized labcoat, yet another pathetic wannabe taking harbor in the linty bellybutton of the seedy underbelly of crime.

You will be brought to justice. Or the morgue. I haven't decided yet.

[OOC: And Nikola is Captain Hammer. Yes, this means he's as dumb as a box of rocks now. Have fun!]

I don't understand dressing up, so I didn't. Now I'm starting to think that I should have. It looks like fun.

Well for the most part anyway.
