The restaurant was quiet every monday night, but tonight it was like a graveyard. With barely a customer through the door, Billy Mason had his mind on clocking off early and calling in on his girlfriend. She'd still be up, though he'd call first anyway, just as he always did.

Billy yawned and flicked over the page of the newspaper in front of him, reading about some hick from the backwaters being abducted by aliens.

"ALRIGHT! STICK 'EM UP!"

Billy leapt back in terror, throwing his hands up in the air instinctively.

"Don't nobody mooove!"

Infront of Billy, stood a man dressed head to toe in a black outfit, a huge weapon in his hands. Billy glanced around, the place was empty. With his hands still in the air he stepped forward. "Uh dude. There's only me here..."

The masked villain nodded, shaking his gun up and down as he did so. Small globules of what looked like sauce dripped from the barrell. "Yeah, I can see that tough guy. Looks like you have no one to save you from the tangy terror of the Condiment King! Now empty that cash register and you might just make it out of this jam alive!"

"Alright! alright! just be cool ma-..." Billy frowned, "Waitaminute... did you say, t-the Condiment King?"

"HAHA! Yes, The Condiment King! Master of Mustard, the King of Ketchup, The Sultan of Salsa! Now empty the damn register!"

Billy did as he was told. Casually he pushed the emergency button under the counter and began to place the meagre contents into a bag. "So uhhh... like what're your powers?" He asked curiously.

The Condiment King grinned and raised his mighty weapon. "Well, condiments are my weapons. I err... I shoot people... and stuff".

"Right". Billy nodded.

Outside a cop car pulled up, the cops leaping out and entering the restaurant with their weapons drawn. The King shot Billy an accusing look before turning to face the police. "Ah, the pigs are here! I was wondering when you were going to ketchup with me!"

The first cop raised his gun towards The Condiment King. "Just put the gun down buddy and everything will be okay!"

"Uh... I don't think so!" The king leapt forward and pulled the trigger. The cops were doused with generous lashings of ketchup, knocking them from their feet. The King laughed triumphantly, and grabbed the bag of money from Billys hands. "HAHA! Pardon me I have to go now.... We mustard do this again sometime!" King raced for the door and out into the night.

Billy helped the uninjured cops to their feet. One of them pulled at his shirt, tutting and shaking his head. "Oh man, this is so totally going to stain!"

Holy crap. This is awesome. Approved.

 

[trustyside-kick]

....screw you byrd.

....screw you byrd.

Gotta wake up early to beat the master, son. Fastest approval finger in the west.

 

[wiegeabo]

Finally. A worthy opponent to the Batmen.

 

[SuperFerret]

If Booster Gold and the Condiment King don't fight by the end of this season, there'll be hell to pay.

Seriously, it'd be a symphony of ineptitude.

 

[Optikal]

I'm glad you approve guys! First post up soon.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Rosters updated. Lemme know if I messed up. Just be nice about it.

 

[Byrd Man]

Everything looks good, but I have one request I meant to bring up before hand. Could you take the Sentry2005's characters off the roster? It's been awhile since he posted, and he has a reputation for picking up a character, posting a hand full of times, and dropping off the face of the Earth.

 

[Blacklight]

And would you mind moving Booster to the Justice League roster? He's (technically) been a member since their reformation, and has moved into the Hall's living quarters.

 

[Red_Robin77]

Eel O’Brian was in a robbery at a chemical plant before getting hit in the shoulder and falling into drums of unknown chemicals.

Group your character is aligned with (if applicable): Justice League

Write two complete sentences using proper English grammar. One to explain what you plan to do with the character you've chosen. The other to explain why you've chosen this character. (i.e. What are your goals? Will you be doing anything different with the character than is usually seen?): O’Brian will be able to have a bit of character development and go into his past as a criminal. I chose Plastic Man as he’s fun and should be somebody really different to play.

Who the hell let’s a prison break happen at a Zoo? Somebody did. As I extend my legs to get to the Zoo faster I can already see a growing crowd of animals charging to the gate. I put my feet together and extend every part of my body until I’m at the Zoo gate, and pull everything back into proportion. I grab hold of each side of the gate and hold on tight as the animals smash into me, pulling me right back.

“Ow, ow, ow, ow…” I cringe as the animals keep charging.

The crowd look in amazement at my bravery and skill, or maybe at the squirrel eating away at my leg. I turn my head into a megaphone and shout as loud as I can. Half the animals scarper back in while the tougher animals stay put. I shape my head again into a battering ram and bend down, pushing against the marching animals until they were just behind the gate. I slam both sides of the gate shut and tie myself to both of them and keep them in.

“Why didn’t I do this before…”

 

[Eddie Brock]

...Thank God Byrd still has four days.

 

[Batman]

Word of advice, Red Robin, but Green Arrow's name is typically spelled 'Ollie', rather than Olly. You might want to change that if you want the GM's to accept you.

Especially given one of them is a rather big Green Arrow fan.

This season my goal for Dinah as an individual is to basically bring her back to her roots while she tries to deal with two very different sets of memories in her head. Dealing mostly with her time in the alternate dimensions. As a character I’d like flesh out Dinah’s role in the newly formed JLA and have her take an active part in that. (Also Soze and Wieg asked nicely and I’m trying to get Wieg to wear a shirt that says ‘Twys Dinosaur&#8217

Ollie held her till her crying stopped, and then kept her there.

"How is she?"

Dinah looked at Bruce who had wheeled down the Hallway, and sat there looking slightly uncomfortable.
She turned her head the other direction, not wanting to talk to anyone.

"She's okay."

Dinah watched Bruce nod and then wheel off. It wasn't like he hadn't lost somone.

Wiping her tears and moving away from Ollie, Dinah asked
&#8220;What&#8217;s going on?&#8221;

Ollie reached out to brush her tears away as he answered.

&#8220;Hal&#8217;s back, about damn time too. The Question and Some &#8216;Constantine&#8217; guy are planning on challenging Mordru to a winner takes all, Mumbo Jumbo magic thing.&#8221;

Dinah nodded as Ollie walked down the hall with her.
&#8220;I heard that.&#8221;

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a damn mistake. Making decisions like that without a vote.&#8221; He mumbled
&#8220;From what I heard over the comm. The Alliance attacked Keystone City, so Wally&#8217;s pretty worked up. And that hung up the plans for this &#8217;magical dual.&#8217; You&#8217;ve been slated to take the eastside of Keystone City, and you&#8217;re going with Nightwing. And apparently we&#8217;re joined by another little bird, though less attractive than you.&#8221;

&#8220;Robin.&#8221;
Dinah said brushing off his comment. Ollie nodded as they walked quickly through the Watchtower Halls.

Dinah turned her comm back on.

&#8220;Also their trying to get in touch with the Spectre.&#8221;
Dinah started, &#8220;The Spectre?&#8221; she hadn&#8217;t seen him since&#8230;..

"Parallax armor? Is that what this is? I just figured it was time for a change. I've discovered a new source of power for my ring, much like when Rayner became Ion. A darker suit for darker times, I say. Best be careful who has your back, Sage, or there won't be a back to watch."

Ollie talked over Hal&#8217;s voice.
&#8220;Apparently their looking for a JSA member..?&#8221;

&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not getting mixed up in this.&#8221;

&#8220;I hope not, I don&#8217;t like the idea of them sending &#8216;non-powered&#8217; members down their against those guys. Especially without asking us about it.&#8221;

&#8220;Hurt about not being included on the roster?&#8221;
She chided

Ollie&#8217;s face went stern.
&#8220;You should be here for Mia.&#8221;

Dinah slowed her walk and looked at Ollie.
&#8220;I know, but if I&#8217;m not you should be.&#8221;

She sighed

&#8220;Why Keystone City? There isn&#8217;t anything there. At least nothing these guys want.
I don&#8217;t like this, I don&#8217;t like how it feel&#8217;s and I don&#8217;t like how it&#8217;s being handled.&#8221;

Ollie stepped aside for her to enter the Control Room and said softly &#8220;That make&#8217;s two of us&#8230;.&#8221;

Dinah stepped into the room and surveyed Wally, Superman, Constantine, Dick, Robin, Bruce, Babs and a few others.

&#8220;&#8230;.Against a dozen.&#8221; He finished.

AND for extra goodness!

"I know.I just want him to know how hard this is gonna be without him." Dick says,walking down the halls,towards the hangar.

"He know's, but in all fairness, all he has for his 'children' is Mia."
She answered as they entered the hanger.

"Im dri..."

"No way, Boy Wonder...I'm taking this. Back Seat." She said, sliding into the drivers seat.

"Fair enough." Dick said, sitting down in the seat behind her.

She flicked switches and listened as the engines came to life.

Speaking into her comm she said "This Black Canary and.." She glanced at ***** outfit
".....Nightwing. We're ready to leave the tower for Keystone."

She waited for the 'All-clear', turning to Dick.

"When we get close to Keystone City I want you to scan the air quality."

"What do you expect to find?"

Dinah thought for a second.
"What DO I expect to find?"

"I don't know." She said flipping a few more switches.
"Maybe I've been hanging around Bruce too much."

Getting the "All-Clear" over the comm she roared the engines.

"Might want to put a seat belt on back there." She said before causing the Javalin to fly out the hanger with negative 'G's.

Steading out she flew the Javalin towards Keystone.

[twylight]

Thank you! ^_^ Would anyone mind rerolling the last two posts concerning Dinah, please? ^_^

 

[Blacklight]

Hal and Kyle, under the Guardians' instruction, flew to Dinah's apartment, and in civilian clothing, came in and said 'hi', and then they asked her what she knew about the blue power ring. I think that's it. It's right in the middle of the last page I believe

 

[twylight]

Well, I meant repost them ; so I can have Dinah answer? ^_^''

Trust me to muck it up, ta Master Bruce.

Aww... it's so cute how the newbs respect it.

 

[Red_Robin77]

:P All done, so there isn't any Dinah speech. Maybe I should rethink Ollie...
