PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

I don't know what to do. The lines were supposed to be clear, batman doesn't kill.. now I'm not sure anymore. His blood .. I can still feel it on my hands. He had to die, the other Bruce.. Two can't exist together. He hurt me. I thought I didn't care, I don't.. Want too. He would have killed Bruce. Bruce fell. I had to do something. He was still my dad..I'm poisoned. Everyone I love gets hurt and dies because of me..

Maybe you were right.

If one more person calls me Terrance.. For the record? My name is Terry. Not Sport, or Tiger, or Terrance. Just Terry.

I haven't been able to sleep the past couple nights, almost 48 hours now. I finished most of the homework I missed. 3 weeks worth. Except the math..I don't think I can take anymore text books. It's almost 3am and I'm still wide awake.

Looks like everything's getting back to normal..the Batman's double is gone. Died was killed in a fight. It was my fault. We got the caves back. The other doubles seem to have gone back or died as well.

I killed him..he had Bruce's face and I

I guess we were supposed to learn something from this. I don't know what to think.

It's as if the city wants to welcome me back.

So, I'm guessing Buffy was switched too, for a version who was never a Slayer. And this version has been captured by some vampire nutjob. Now, I don't know when Buffy's being brought back, but I'm not thinking we wait until then to get this sorted.

I want to find this other version and rescue her and then I want some beer. So let's get this done quickly.

Anyone any leads on where this asshole might be? He says he wants money and blood, but I'm thinking of offering a better trade. He wants a Slayer, he can damn well have one. I could use the workout.

ETA: Ok, arranged the trade, me for her. Only he wants me to bring 'Will' Buffy's boyfriend for me to kill to prove my word's good. Any volunteers to pretend to be Will? Obviously without the me actually killing them part.

I think we need a plan.

I hate things that look like cages but once you’re in them, they’re not really normal cages. I mean… it’s already been done. You don’t have to be a copy cat and do it again. Try some originality. It’s really not that hard.

Other than that minor setback, that wasn’t such a bad vacation. I’m insanely adaptable, it turns out.

And before someone goes in there and starts looking… I ate all the food in the kitchen. You can’t blame me for it though. It’s Mercer’s fault. She starved me over a timeframe of two hours. That’s a long time. BUT there is cat food in there though. Not that anyone should try eating it. Because you shouldn’t.

Anyway. Does anyone know where Clark is? I’d go look but I don’t feel like moving right now. But I COULD if I wanted to. Just so you know. I could run a marathon right now. Honest. Except that's a lie.

Kal won't be bothering anyone anymore. Actually I don't think it was his fault in the first place. As soon as I took off this weird ring he was wearing he didn't even want to keep fighting. I'm sorry I couldn't do it sooner.

The Clock Tower is just fucking gone. Has anyone seen Barbara or heard from Oracle?

I don't know how much longer I can do th

[ooc: post this as nightwing]

I just want my dad back. I hate that the last thing we did before..whatever happened, was fight. I don't even know if I'll get a chance to fix it.

I'm pretty sure you all saw by now, Oracle is gone too. I don't have much information I just thought it was fair to warn you that she can apparently hack filtered posts. So...make sure you secure everything you don't want to risk her seeing. I don't know how, or why-I'm still working on that part.

I am not amused by this at all. My home is exactly the same, as is my work. Down to the last detail. But last time I checked, Chicago didn't have palm trees. There's also been a few people I saw in public, they act like they know me, they.. kinda follow me for a little bit. There's also been moments in the day when I feel like I'm looking through someone else's eyes.

Mark? Come on, Mark, pick up the damn phone. Or turn it back on. You know, I know you like a good joke, but this is taking it a bit far. Kudos, though. I know you put the guys at work up to denying that you work there long enough. Cousins.. damn. Marky, seriously. Joke's over. I want to see you right now. If you didn't do this, I wonder who did. Just.. call me? Email me, whatever. We can search for the answers together. Maybe make a game of it, if you want.

And.. there's also this young blond guy staying at this mansion with me. Anybody here that knows anyone fitting that description. He's gotta be like.. 18, maybe 19. I saw him sleeping near me in my room as soon as I woke up. Maybe I had a sleepover with a couple work buddies and forgot about it. I'd like to know who he is. Probably not as important as knowing why I'm in Los Angeles, though. But I guess it could be worse. At least me and my cousin's business is here with us. That is a bit weird.. I can't even imagine how our home and work could be transported here, even by plane, just as it is. In one night. And without having me awaken. I'm a very light sleeper.

Another one of ours has been "switched" or "taken" or whatever you want to call it. Either way Static is not to be trusted. He keeps saying something about 'Darkside' whatever that is, so unless you have some kind of death wish, or enjoy being extra crispy and electrocuted I'd advise you not to go after or try to catch him unless you've got some kind of telekinesis or something that can stop lightning.

I have a new rule. It’s where you check in with me every five minutes hour so I can be sure that you haven’t been replaced by an evil twin that I’ll need to immediately lock up. Don’t go out alone and don’t even look at my motorcycles. Again.

Something's not right. Impulse is acting ...stranger than usual. Thorn. If he contacts you, you're going to ignore him for your own good. Take advantage of the situation in any way; Hurt him, touch him, I'll find out. I don't know what your planning to do, but if your smart you'll step away from this while you still can. Don't, and I'll make your life a living hell.

I spent about half an hour surfing the net tonight. Finally doing some homework. more like trying to find a way back h Then I got distracted by jets. I found the perfect one. F-117A Black Jet Nighthawk. Almost..almost close to "the car". Inside tech's a little ancient Doesn't make me want it less.

I think Ace has actually started liking Dante. He's been showing him around the cave all night. While I've been reading up on profiles. Barking when he does something stupid. This keeps up, we're gonna have to call him Wonder Dog "the second" or something, and hope it sticks. Ace won't stand for the cute nick names.

Read up on that new friend of yours in town. Sounds pretty rough. Want some help? I know I'm not Dick, but..I've got a few tricks of my own.

Hey...Zatanna? I wanna know something. It's kinda important. Life and death even.( okay well maybe not that dramatic, but still!) Do you know anything about sandwich magic? See, I've got a theory. Bruce dad Bruce says if anyone knows that you'd know. Know those fancy little sandwiches British butlers are always good at making? I say they've got a set of crazy miniature knives that are filled with sandwich magic and make all things small and finger sized. Dad says it doesn't exit. But they defy logic! They have to exist! Large knives would just ruin the whole thing.

[ooc: Sometime after this exchange between Roy and Xander]

Oh God. Why did I do that Internet search? I mean, that crazyevil Superboy said we were comic book characters in his world, but he was crazy! And evil!.

I admit I am a little uncomfortable with the idea that my entire life story is on Wikipedia.

You know who you are and you know what I mean. I don’t know if you’re planning to retaliate, if you have your lawyers on the phone already, if you’re stupid enough to make a move, but I do know that you’ll be wasting your time if you don’t retreat and stay away. If you want revenge it won’t work. If you want him to pay for what he did to you and your car, you’ll be sorely disappointed. I don’t take very well to anybody purposely baiting at my league members and you yourself must have known that you were walking on thin ice by doing so.

Don’t play innocent with me because I know that you’re anything but. Back off and don’t try to get in contact with him. If you want to ignore this warning and carry things further, make everything worse, then you’ll be dealing with me and not him.

Believe me, I’m not someone you want angry with you.

And one last thing. Stay away from my kid.

(After this.)

I just want to confess, on the record... I never had any dealings with that evil, crazy clown. Heck, never even spoke with him. From what I understand, he is highly insane, unstable, psychotic, and unpredictable. Definitely not someone I would want anywhere near me or my workplace. I'd never want anything to do with him. Not even for birthday parties. I do like having followers, but this one shall be an exception.

But you know.. well.. accidents happen. Kinda like that thing with Murphy's Law. Maybe a bridge wasn't made right. His car could have a leaky gas line. Or the clown could somehow, assuming he ever breaks out, walk under a falling sign or a lamp post that's a bit shoddy. Or maybe an elevator he's in could somehow break its cables from twenty stories up. Anything could happen. Besides, I heard that bad karma tends to follow bad people...

You want the Joker gone. You think it’s as easy as snapping your fingers, pulling a trigger or using whatever impressive, show-stopping abilities you have and then walking away without a scratch on you. That’s fine. You go on thinking that. Waltz into his jail cell, kill him and then come find me. Tell me all about it and I’ll put you on a pedestal. He is everybody’s problem and just because I refuse to take his life doesn’t mean that you can’t.

But don’t you dare blame me or mine for the damage he causes, for the lives that he takes. He’s free game. I am not possessive of him. He’s only human, isn’t he? Where you come from, surely he would be dead and long gone by now.

It’s a pity that’s not the case.

So, what do you think about Heaven? Better yet, what do you know about Heaven? Do we 'in the know' of supernatural stuff have any concrete evidence? It's been mythbusted or whatever, yea?

Taking the dogs, going out. Be back whenever. Dana's here, bringing her back to the manor until I figure out what to do.

As if things weren't complicated before. How do you tell someone something if that something will put them in danger, and possibly break their heart but not telling them will make it worse?

They're going to kill me for this. Oh wait. What else is new?

I know many of you are not exactly fond of God, not Elaine, the other one, but there is news that should be considered alarming.

She's missing. Gone. None of Her Angels can find Her. The last time this happened, it nearly ended very badly, based on what I'm hearing. It's quite possible that someone has managed to capture and confine God. Again.

And for those of you who think it might no be a bad thing, stop that mind track right now.

You know, sometimes I look at the people and I think, why do we even bother? Sometimes it feels that no matter how much some of us do, it's never enough and people are always whining that we should do more. Not just put ourselves at risk to protect them, but cuddle them afterward. So it makes me start to think, do people ever stop to think are they worth being saved? Why do we keep doing it?

And then I remember. Because some people invent things like tequila. And tequila makes it all worth while.
