PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

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!

I got to hug my mom for the first time ever. I don't know how..it doesn't make sense if they're ghosts that we can touch them, but I don't think I care. I was starting to forget her. I thought I was gonna lose my memory of her because I couldn't remember what she was like. But she was here. I think...maybe it was really her. She didn't hurt me, she was proud of me. Isn't that what moms are like?

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

Are you guys seeing stuff too?

Heat vision sucks. Bad. It's a good thing that my powers sorta help me heal a bit faster than normal people, otherwise it would be worse but really. I advise not pissing off a Kryptonian and being at the receiving end, it's not a fun party.Clark..I swear if you switch sides again.. In need of a recharge now. But it's to hard to even get out of bed like this, and even harder to find a sufficient fuse box to tap into without blowing power to the entire block. Totally water logged and heat visioned out. Thanks for fishing me out of the water Bart..I guess I should learn to swim one of these days.

[ooc: Couple days post http://asylums.insanejournal.com/parabolical/995282.html#cutid1 that thread. In progress]

... I don't even know where to begin. They took our minds and twisted them, but I can't say that without sounding hypocritical What they did. Just.. what happened. I think we are exactly who we're supposed to be right now. Pftt, as if we need outside help in seeing how it could be otherwise.

I was in a hospital. I had a crappy home and TV. And car! And had a BOSS too. Over me. So glad I have my company back. And my last name was Salvatore? Please. I know that being born in Rome and living here now sorta makes me an Italian-American, but come on. I thought things. Believed things. I actually believed in God, praised Him, went to church a lot. Excuse me wile I hurl. Times like this when I wish I could get drunk. Oh! And I have my nice clothes back too. And my maids and butlers. We all have our lives back and that's a good thing.

It's funny, though.. one little part of it. I am glad I am no longer in the dark about why I don't get poisoned, or why I was seeing things in other people's eyes, or why I was like an encyclopedia when I talked to a patient about history. Is it bad that I still want to visit them a while longer But I just love it when people I'm not supposed to see or talk to, they just come along and see me anyway, when I'm at a vulnerable stage. Sounds like a villain move, and it really says something about a person when they're an alleged good guy. Really, it's great. So glad I could be the tail end of your jokes. Not as funny as a certain joke by the future guys, but whatever.

Are you okay? You're probably being asked that alot, huh? I was worried.

I don't like not knowing what happened, but I'm scared at the same time

I feel strange lately. Like everything is sort of..in a fog and I can't see through it. The last few days have been sort of a blur. Slept too much. Now I can't sleep at all anymore, it's been two days. So I've got the Clash playing on my list. AC/DC and Radio Head lined up for a long night of comics and games.

I want to go back out on patrol, but I don't want to risk losing control of myself or forgetting again. I don't know what else to do. If I sit inside I'll more just go crazy. But I don't want to hurt anyone.

... I've been thinking about home alot this morning, I had a weird dream last night that I was back in my house but nobody could see me or hear me. Right now it's probably raining, it used to do that in September through October..

Halloween is coming up. Everyone is probably getting ready for Fright Fest. Richie and I were always on the decorating team. It was a good excuse to blow off homework for a week. It might be kinda early to be thinking about Halloween already but I needed the distraction it might be fun if we decorated the Bradbury Building like a hell house, or haunted mansion or something. It's big, we could make separate rooms and stuff, maybe a maze.

Hey. Can we talk?

Not that I don't love a good round of vague creepiness or appreciate how funny it is when Eve gets shut down (and sweetie, have you noticed? It happens a lot), but I'm tired of staring at these boards. Who's up for dinner?

{Lindsey}
You. Did you know there's another you walking around?

{Angel}
How ya holdin' up, Big Guy?

There's been a severe lack of pie lately. It's a little depressing. Clark, you should fix this.

Which of you little chickenshits wants to go and play paintball?

Hey, guys. Look on the kitchen counter. Right now.

Clark? I'm sorta feeling like you don't like me anymore and no longer want to be my friend. I mean... you promised Virgil and I pie a while ago and so far we haven't seen what you said you'd make for us and I don't know... I'm feeling neglected here.

Virgil? You feel the same way, don't you?

Gonna come out and play? I really don't want to have to look all over the city just to find you. 'Cause then I'd get all annoyed and have to hurt you more when I did find you. Trust me, I will find you. You've been killing people. Don't you know that sort of thing is frowned upon yet?

I've already exhausted a weeks worth of comic books, and I just picked them up yesterday.I wanna get out of the building but just about everything costs money I don't have. I went to Clipper Stadium and watched the Lakers practice, but I couldn't actually get in, had to watch through a window. A high one in the nosebleed area. I'm broke for allowance now, so I guess that means no more arcades. I went to a few different stores that were hiring and they all told me I was to young. Being 15 is kinda lame sometimes. What else can I do? I'm starting to get bored.

Anybody need a computer programmer or want a game designed? I'm pretty good at that kinda stuff.

I'm feeling a little restless lately. Not that I miss the bang baby circus that was Dakota, well maybe a little but I think I actually miss school. Going, (usually when there wasn't patrol being done), lunch (except mystery meat Monday-ugh, eat that and your life is over), Just..my friends. The JLA is great, but I wish Richie were here. Speaking of Rich, Comic run Tuesday anyone ? Don't worry I've got it down to a science! It'll be fun, promise. I never thought I'd say that considering he was at my house every waking second of the day. But it was almost like having a brother. One who doesn't yell at me to clean my room, or contribute more to societyunless I'm blowing off Static practice. The community center was cool too. Always had something to do. Like Basketball and arcade games. Is there anything like that here?

[JLA]
I've been doing alot of programming lately on the computer mainframe at the Bradbury Building. Improving the security systems. It's now a retina scan! yeah- I'm good I know. Learning codes I never knew even existed before. It's kind of a trip.

Okay theirs officially so many pizza boxes in here I had enough to make a really cool fort , and a mote to go with it. Who wants to take the left overs out? And I'm kinda thinking we went on pizza over kill.

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.

[Filtered to the JLA and allies.]

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.

This.. Isn't who I wanted to be.

Kill kill

They were trying to control me. They should know better. Nobody can control me. Darkside is everything.

Looks like my powers are starting to stabilize again, I can hold a charge now. So I'm on my way back to the building. I feel kinda weird but it's probably just a L.A. side effect of the sunspots or something. never been sick bef

Hey Roy? Some lady was looking for you, Jade? Said she was looking for a place to stay and was outside the Bradbury building. So I thought maybe Oracle pointed her towards the building. I dunno, I've been out of the loop for a few days. Offered her a ride but she told me to tell you she'd be back tomorrow instead. I thought maybe she was one of us. She scratched me and said she had to get home. Girl has some sharp nails though. Friend of yours?

Y'know being a super hero got it's perks, and I love what I do..but sometimes I do miss actually being able to have a social life..

[ooc: As Static]

Hey, how many of you guys have slogans, or catch phrases? You know, like when you show up to kick some guy's ass, you say, "Hey y'all, this is who I am, and I'm gonna kick yo'ass " or something? Cept, you know, not in those words.

When I first started out, I used to be all like, "Yo I'm Static, I put a shock to your system," but then people started knowing who I was and every time I showed up, they'd be all, "Oh no, it's Static!" So I didn't get a chance to say it, and if I did it'd be redundant because they already knew. Then I started thinking, and I realized that not a whole lotta people outside Dakota know who I am, so maybe I should start telling people again, but my old slogan's kinda lame now. I need something new. Fresh.

EDIT: The bradbury building is starting to look tight. It might actually be fit for humans now.

I'm thinking house party.
