PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

Happy holidays. Yeah, yeah, I know.. it's late. Arm feels a lot better now. Spent a lot of time designing some new shirts for work. And shopping, too. And cleaning. Ohh, and having a new hot tub put in at my place. That's gonna be fun. And looking for a computer expert, no luck yet, but I will Happy Yule. Christmas. Hanukkah. Kwanzaa. Whatever the occasion. This place really isn't all that bad. It's actually good. Sometimes. I guess. Although the Vamp Santa thing still has me in giggles from time to time

You and I need to talk. Now.

Slightly belated happy...festivity time.

I feel slightly hypocritical and Hallmark Movie about telling people to remember the good things about the city as well as the bad but its true. There's good sides to it if you let yourself find them. Or them find you.

ETA: Or not, whats Christmas without a little fuck up

Can you come back over?. Please.

I miss home...how is that even possible when the people I consider my home are all here?

i need more things to occupy me.

Found a job. It's a security guard gig for some big time laboratory on the other side of the city. The pay is surprisingly decent for a job like that, so I'm probably going to end up looking for an apartment out there within the next couple days. I'm gonna need to live closer to work if I want to get there on time every day. I'll miss the house, but I really need the job. Plus, it's a foot in the door. History on a security team might actually stand for something solid if I decide to pursue some of the careers I was considering.

Now I'm off to sign up for internet classes. Not the same as going to a campus, but I'll settle for now. It's a start.

Oh, and thanks for the Christmas gifts. I really enjoyed them.

Any chance of either of you being able to help me with an issue that I have as far as crediting me for classes that I've already taken in another universe are concerned?

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!

Since this looks to be trendy I'll hop onto the wagon but in a different sense.

This is to gage need within the various good guy teams and as a whole for a freelance computer tech, I'll be with AI the bulk of the time but I know the rest of the good guys along with the city at large may be needing help on the computer front.

I won't have things up and running till the first of the year (between paperwork and my arms needing to heal up a bit more) but I'll charge a by the job fee along with being fair (in other words no price gouging).

Guess I should do this too, with New Year's coming up soon. But.. anyway, here it goes. My name is Scorpius Malfoy. Son of Draco and Astoria Malfoy. I'm a wizard. I'm good at charms, defense, hexes, curses, dueling. I can apparate, which is a fancy way of saying I can telport anywhere I've been before. Also had a bit of practice at occulmency and legimens. Ohh, and I'm single too. If that counts. I like hotties, who wants to have some Malfoy lovin'

I live at an apartment complex called The Weir. Just me, mostly. Actually it is just me. I'm not entirely positive how the wards work, it was more someone else's specialty. I just lived there. But it was originally the idea of Harry Potter. Was home to him, his wife/fiance, son, Ron, Hermione, their kids, etc. I think the wards are to allow only magic users to enter the property, and to stop unwanted attacks, though they can be lowered to let in a friend temporarily. I guess it was only for people from my world. I think.

But I don't see why we couldn't allow practitioners of any form of magic to come here. To practice, hang out, or even live here if you'd want to. I'm the only one there at the moment.. so I don't know for certain how it would go, but I guess the others who were there before wouldn't mind. I can't imagine them closing the doors to anyone magical that wanted to come in. My door is certainly always open. Maybe the Weir could be open too.

Right, Now that we're past the big day and all that I'd like to know what comprises AI right now. Who's on the team, what they do, who wants to be on the team and what they can offer. Who lives in the hotel?

I'm still new at all this with this many people and this seems the best way.

[Spike]

Are you actually ever gonna take this seriously and discuss what we need to do, or do I get to do all the legwork. There might not be conveniant heroic necklaces to wear next time there's a threat

Man, Christmas was awesome. I'm never making fudge with anyone else again, but it was fun this time. I think we probably should have stopped when the blender and a whole bottle of rum got involved, but that logic was beyond us by the time we got there.

Still, the apartment complex still stands, and the headache and sugar overload are finally over. Milkshakes are an activity that should only be undertaken sober. Anyone want runny fudge made with rum?

Alright, I am going to follow Angel's example here and make up a list of exactly who is on my team. This is going to...
Put it off for months now.
And now it comes down to...
So Buffy. Where do you even stand?
And a second list of who is interested in joining my team. (either in a primary capacity, or a secondary capacity to Fred's research team- this means you report to her first and then to me if she doesn't need you and I need to make up the numbers.)

For those who don't know, I am Faith and I run the Offensive Team at Angel Investigations. Being on the Offensive Teams is a full time commitment. It's not easy and it's not casual. My team covers every single area of the city every single night without fail. This is regardless of who else is in the city at the time, we at AI make sure we cover the city, every night. We fight demons and vampires and do everything we can to protect the citizens of Los Angeles. Joining my team means three things.
1- Nightly patrols in pairs, on the route I assigned.
2- Training sessions with me, three times a week. This is not optional.
3- Reports after every single patrol. Again, this is not optional. I need to know exactly what was seen in which areas, and take the reports to Fred if more research is needed.

This is the regular routine, in addition there are complications if a new and improved bad guy hits the city. Also, we have the walk in-clients. The files get looked at by the command team and cases get assigned by us according to the relevant skills needed. So, let me know now who you are, so I can make sure this city is as protected as it can be.
