PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

As well as Tara, Jack hasn't come back from his patrol either.

One could be explainable, two definitely isn't.

Tenel Ka, could you and Jacen head out on Jack's patrol route, see if you can sense anything?

Can any of the witchy types do a sensey thing on Tara?

Buffy this isn't an order. I guess this is the moment we find out how this is going to work could you swing by my pile of maps and help me work on some strategies?

Business cards made: almost a check
Computer gear: check
Business finally getting off the ground: work in progress

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).

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

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.

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

I'm not seeing them anymore. The ghosts. How about everyone else? They gone? You're not still seeing images from your past? I hope things can get back to normal.

Mine were.. alright. Saw a few from my own past. Lex was probably the worst of it. I was suddenly reminded how delusional he really was toward the end. Thought he was the hero, that it was his sole right to save everyone by himself. His views were.. warped. Still wonder if I could have done better And he had that ring. Traded punches after every other verbal dig into my past mistakes.

Hey, I probably already did this. But I want to thank you again for your help. I probably would be a lot worse off if you had not shown up when you did. Maybe even dead That was a sweet trick, though. But damn.. Lex was a real fruitcake, wasn't he? I think I understand now where Tess got a few of her traits from.

Did the footage help anyone with the ghost puzzle?

Ein somehow figured out what happened and got onto my laptop complete with sending footage from my webcam. My arms look like they went through a machine since I must have blacked out at some point. But beyond that and being sore from a crash landing I'm in one piece.

Just wish I had some idea why Vicious came after me?

Actually now that its on my mind: what am I supposed to do for my arms?

Is there a way to know a wound is worse than first guessed? Because I think Vicious had done some work on that katana before he and the bounty heads went after me the other night.

Several hours of being chased by bounty heads that only knew my online counterpart, not fun. Add in taunting about only being smart, just made things worse. One insane clown trying to shoot me, icing on the freaking cake.

Being almost cut open by your team's worst enemy: priceless.

So that should explain screaming in Japanese near the Welcome Center.

(small ooc: Ed is hiding the fact she got nicked by a stray sword)

Illusion of sanity was nice while it lasted.

There is nothing more annoying than when a demon puts a hole in your leather jacket. Nothing. I should find a way to bring his ass back just to pay for this.

And if we're keeping track, there was ghost number two of me as well.

This time it was a bounty head from when I was on board the Bebop: insane clown/pro killer known as Mad Pierrot.

At least with Spike it was bittersweet, tonight was just madness since he followed me to the Welcome Center. He taunted me, it was like I was the next best thing with no Spike.

Shaken but unhurt in the physical sense.

If anyone is keeping score: number 2 in this corner.

:( :( :( :( :( :(

Anyone who was visited, none of your visitors touched you, right? Like they couldn't grab you and take you somewhere? They just talk?

This is strange! Last I knew he was missing and now I know he's dead....

Has anyone else noticed anything.... weird happening tonight?

[Filtered to Sam]

I know you hate the Hyperion and everything, but could you stay here with me tonight? Please?

I'm working on the forms to make my tech business all nice and legit and hit a snag, I'll need ID since the college is closed for vacation.

Anyone to see?? I've still got my ID circa 2077 if that helps anyone (and would Ein need tags?).

Sorry for all the questions!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Just thinking about this so is there anyone with dogs or small children that would like a 4 legged playmate? Ein is a Welsh Corgi and very well behaved, I would love for him to have some new friends.

Meet Ein!

Also now that I'm thinking about it: since I'm from 2077 I'll need ID before I can get my business off the ground. Anyone to see?

:) :) :) :)

So where does a person start on getting a business off the ground?

I've got an email address and I'm pricing cell phone plans but its like I know there is more that has to be done. Mostly since I know things are different compared to 2077.

As an FYI: my idea is freelance computer repair and for the good guys a freelance hacker.

I understand that this is the means used for newcomers here. Very well. I am Catherine Weaver. President, CEO, and co-founder of ZeiraCorp. This was not my intended destination. This is not the future ravaged by Skynet and it's blind machines I am not yet aware of the method used to bring me here, nor who has that capability. Needless to say, this is an inconvenience. Please explain.

So I'm minding my own business. Kicking bad guy culo. Taking names. Looking ridiculously good in leather while I do it, if I do say so myself. I had just given this hombre talking to, when I spotted another bastardo coming out of nowhere. Can I point out how rude it is to try and sneak up on somebody? Anyway, I was all ready to shout out 'Hark who goes there!', when I ended up here.

Now. My theories are brain injury and concussion from that wall my head .. grazed or in truth I've fallen through the rabbit hole and in the next few seconds a cat suffering from Delusional Disorder will come up to me and tell me that this is all a wonderful life.

Brain damage. Or insanity. What's your theory. Feel free to discuss. I'm curious. My theory is insanity. Seeing as people here seem to think vampires exist and there are a lot of websites devote to Kent. It's disturbing

And did you know that my laptop isn't here? And that I'm not very happy about that? I thought you all should know. Hopefully, you'll be nice enough to point me to the direction of the person I should beat up blame.

ETA: Anyone want to tell me why Metropolis isn't on any maps but it shows up on wiki? Under comics?

[ooc: As Angel of Vengeance]

You know I realized we don't do this often enough, show a genuine interest in each other's lives. So this is how I'm going to rectify that.

How is everyone today?

I'm going to make the best of being trapped in a time not my own so is there anything that has to be done to start a small freelance tech business? Also thinking about college but for now finding a place that is dog friendly is first on the to do list.

*filtered to good guys*

Alex said something that struck me, I'm prime team good guy material. So any teams need a hacker/computer expert?

Higher powers can take their damn war and shove it. My mind ain't for playing with.

Something is very up...

I have my computer along with gear, my VR goggles and my dog but I just know this is not right.
