Musings

So, I'm looking for Rome? Not the city, the person, in case there were any doubts as to my intelligence I do know where Rome is, thank you very much..

Anyways. This fog? Can go away right now. I can barely make it to work without nearly killing myself by bumping into everything and tripping over everything. Seriously, Seattle. Your weather needs to calm the hell down.

I trust that everyone made it through the Masque alive, if not with their dignity intact?

A small and late head’s up that someone we know has picked up a comm.

[ISOLATED COMM CHANNEL: ORACLE/MISFIT]
Misfit? It’s Oracle. Are you going on patrol anytime soon?

[LOCKED: ANONYMOUS/D. WALLACE] (using the ‘computer’ icon)
I believe someone told you to expect me.

[After giving the police a few days to scramble around looking for evidence.]

I feel that I have made my message clear. The system in this city is ineffective, and the masks are not willing to go far enough in administering true justice. I have no interest in innocents, and I have done everything within my power to inflict no collateral damage at all. All I am interested in is the wicked in this world, and where they are presented to me, I will strike them down. I do not ask that everyone does the same. I only ask to be left to my work.

[During the bomb scare at the Mall, just as the other bombs go off.]

[Open Comm]
[Angrily.] I know it's still light out, but we got problems, folks. Someone needs to go get us that damn doll the news is going on about at that shopping center, and we need to see if we can get anything off the damn bombs at the houses around town. Body count would be nice, too. In case we aren't all pissed off enough.

[After this]

Okay, guys. I don't know how many of you are proficient in the internets, but the Weatherman isn't backing down. He found the Bodysnatcher and it's not looking good. As much as I hate to agree with the thieving douchebag, we need to take the Weatherman out. I can handle the weather and still stay mobile, so point me and shoot. Who's got an idea on how to find him?

[ Open Vigilante Comm ]

[The comm is sent out Friday afternoon, immediately after this (though pictures and videos will probably hit the internet soon). Spidey keeps his voice as nonchalant as ever, but his breathing is heavy, and he sounds a bit more forced than usual. He's shaken up, but doesn't want anyone to know, and is inspecting his wounded leg as he speaks.]

Hey, morning glories. I've got two stories for you. Say "one" for updates on the Weatherman, and "two" for what will probably be on the news within the next few days.

Hey, beautiful. If you liked my first present, you'll love this second one. I always heard that chicks dig puppies.

The Weatherman was the victim of Creation-caused crime. Someone body-snatched or mind-controlled him. He thinks this same person abducted someone, a girl named Wren or R. Maheu. He thinks freezing Seattle will get this person to come clean.

[The evening before this.]

maybe this isn't wise but i don't really have any other choice I was wondering if anyone knew the whereabouts of a girl named Wren? I believe she goes by R Maheu on the forums. She missed a meeting she had agreed to and she isn't answering any kind of communication.

If you don't know knife fighting or knife defense, now is the time to tell me.

Robin, where are you?

[About 8pm.]

I want immediate notification if anyone encounters this new mask.

You're gonna have to forgive me if this comes out all wonky. I only have my phone for net and this is just weird and stuff.

I just moved in and my back is starting to protest sleeping on the floor. Anyone able to point me on where to get something else to sleep on? I don't have much money to spare, but I think I'm gonna cry if I have to sleep on the floor again.

O. I'm Callie. New to the building but not to Seattle. If you want a good cup of coffee, lemme know and I can hook you up.

[OPEN COMM]
Oracle here, interrupting with an official announcement: I’ll be resuming duties starting... now. As before, if you need anything, I’m here.


(right after this)
[LOCKED: G. DAILEY/R. DARMAN]
Did I miss something or is this one of those fabled “just because” kind of things?


[LOCKED: G. DAILEY/K. WEST]
Hey.


[LOCKED: G. DAILEY/S. PRESTON]
You know, I've been having the strangest week.

[you'll have to pardon the newbie who has no idea what she's doing.]

So I push this and then this and- shit. [whispered] Fuck, I think it's on.

[clears her throat and continues in a regular tone] Uhm. I was told to ask for Oracle?

[Public]

I'm looking for someone named Callie?

So, these birds are freaking me out and I need a good distraction. It just so happens that I have a new roommate. And it's Cinco de Mayo. I'm throwing a get together at my apartment, Hamartia 505, to celebrate tomorrow. Open house, free booze, just come to have a good time. (More alcohol or food will, of course, always be welcome.)

[Text to C. Bennet]
what time do you get off work tomorrow, girlie? i'm thinking of organizing a get together for your welcome!
