Doors

[Locked to Jude M]

[After a real sleepless night.] You still talking to me?

[After this. Anon, and not Caleb's hand.]

Approximately how much common sense does it take to grasp the concept of not drinking candy from strangers?

The little bird-girl slips and falls and I am bruised. When they die behind the door I wonder if our bodies are ever found.

Is pregnancy so very changed that it is novel? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Anais M]

We've amalgamated a new business.

[After this and being informed of what they had done to Kara and the information planted in her regarding his supposed 'defection'.]

I need help.

I thought blood was thicker than this.

[The post is visible for only a handful of minutes before disappearing, but long enough that someone might have caught it.]

[After enough time passes that he starts to worry, and with Bruce being no help at all.]

Selina?

[Wednesday afternoon, a press conference is held outside Oscorp with very little advance warning. News outlets and reporters are only alerted an hour before, and due to the suddenness and lack of information given the turnout is impressive. It's assumed that Harry Osborn, who has been acting as head of Oscorp in his father's absence, called the conference, but to the surprise of those gathered it is Norman Osborn himself who emerges to a wave of shouted questions and camera flashes. Osborn, appearing cool and collected, announces his return after a trip abroad to "enrich the future of Oscorp" and assures the press that he will be resuming his duties as CEO. Present with him are the head of the PR division and scientists from multiple departments, who give short speeches on "new and exciting prospects" being worked on behind closed doors.

Osborn himself gives a brief outline of Oscorp's planned future endeavors, hinting at a new military deal, the reason for his sudden departure, and afterward takes questions from gathered reporters. They ask about his son, Harry, about his adoption months earlier, and of course there are more questions about the company itself; he answers them all without hesitation, saying that his son did well under the circumstances, that the adoption was "the right thing to do" as he could provide a good, stable home and bright future for the little girl, and repeats earlier statements about Oscorp's future and promises "great things" to come. Coverage of Osborn's return continues into the evening, as the footage is replayed over and over on the nightly news.]

[Tuesday evening, Jack Corvus wakes up.

He's not in the hospital under that name, of course, but under the alias he was given when he died for the second time, and he manages to get halfway out of bed before sedated by the nurses. The doctors report him as being weak but his brain thus far appears undamaged, though he will of course need to go through a full battery of tests. For the time being, he is sleeping but not subsumed in coma. He will, the doctors say, pull through.]

After this: [Locked to Clementine M]
you tell Graham we're watching fucking stories at his place tonight.

[kara z]

Hey. Haven't heard from you in a bit. How's it going?

[selina k]

You'll be glad to hear somebody gave me a crate of ballet shoes for the boys for Valentine's.

[batfamily]

I'm starting to feel like I never know when anything's going down around here. Anybody feel like giving me a heads up on anything I ought to know?

[bruce w]

[After this.]

What the hell is going on with Kara, and why did Selina just tell me to ask you what was going on with her?

Everything is absolutely topsy turvy and nothing makes a bit of sense.
