The 'World of Heroes: DC Style" RPG Season II

[Phantasm]

IC:Barb Gordon

What was wrong with Dick????!

He never admits to needing help...in normal circumstances that is...

I sit on the floor trying to mend the damage Joker had inflicted on my computer system. I need to know what's up with the signal and why did he use it...

I use my hands and upper body strength to lift myself on the chair.My legs throb with any kind of pressure so I need to be careful that I don't hurt myself.

After settlling in the chair I try connecting the link to Batman. It was fuzzy, and not very clear but it would do.For now. "Where is Dick?!What's wrong?"

 

[Twitch]

OOC:If it's not too much batnkevlar..can I have a quick pick and drop of the Boy Wonder please? But don't go so fast Dinah can't say a quick 'hello'.

OCC:You don't have to do that I have an idea maybe something about skydiving.

Digger Harkness rested a bit in his suite and eventually went down to the dining room for a late supper. The kitchen was closed, but the cook offered to make Mr. Harkness anything he would like after Digger offered hard cash. His mood was starting to brighten again, as it was not in Digger's nature to brood over things for too long.

And so, after a fine dinner of lobster bisque with a bottle of house wine, Digger headed back up to his room for a well deserved rest. He felt as though he could sleep forever and realized he hadn't had good sleep since he first encountered Houngan/M'Bata. He slept like a baby.

OOC: Short n sweet. Off to Marvel now....heh.

 

[Detective Flass]

*Lex's Luthor's Lair*

Lex is sitting in his chair looking up information on Superman online on his computer.

There is a knock at the door. Lex looks uneasy. He slowly walks to the door and peeps out the eye hole. A fat little man with a glass eye, tall hat, and a thin long nose is knocking at the door.

Lex opens the door.

LEX
It's about time you got here Cobblepot.

THE PENGUIN
I soared all the way from Gotham City by helicopter to get here.

The Penguin takes off his hat.

LEX
Make yourself at home.

The Penguin sits in a black leather chair.

THE PENGUIN
It's a fine night.

The Penguin puts a cigar in his mouth and lights up then fixes his glass eye.

LEX
What do you want.

THE PENGUIN
I heard that you almost killed the man of steel.

LEX
Yes.

THE PENGUIN
So you can help me kill The Batman.

LEX
For a price I can, and for an even bigger one I can tell you who he is.

The Penguin nearly falls out of his seat.

THE PENGUIN
You know who Batman is!?!?

LEX
Fifty Grand.

The Penguin pulls out a suit case with two million dollars in it.

THE PENGUIN
Will this be enought to know the secret and to for you to kill him?

LEX
How much is it?

THE PENGUIN
2 million. I'll give 1 million 500 though.

LEX
All or nothing.

THE PENGUIN
Fine.

The Penguin throws the suitcase to Lex.

LEX
Batman is Bruce Wayne.

The Penguin is shocked.

THE PENGUIN
What!?!? That prick millionaire? He's Batman?

LEX
Of Course.

THE PENGUIN
I'll sell this information to the media. I'll be a billionaire!

LEX
No. He's too clever, he'll somehow try and disprove you.

THE PENGUIN
So skinhead. I want Batman's head mounted on my wall, and soon. Or else I'll get the mafia so far on your ass you'll be dead by dawn.

The Penguin puts his hat on his head.

THE PENGUIN
I want Batman dead at the end of this week.

LEX
Were are you leaving to?

THE PENGUIN
I have to manage my mafia and nightclub, go'in back to Gotham.

LEX
Take care.

The Penguin walks out the door.

OOC: Flass, you've not read up on the thread. Tried to PM you for clarification, but playing other characters for them is a no-no. 'Glass-eye' - monocle. heh. Luthor has a bodyguard...name of Hal Jordan. You're gonna have serious edits in your future.

OCC:You don't have to do that I have an idea maybe something about skydiving.

OOC: You have abroken jaw and I am trying not to fly the plane back to Gotham.. Takes up too much time. In RPG time AND in Real time.

 

[Twitch]

OCC: My mistake

I lay Dick on the medical table in the Cave. Here I have antidotes on just about everything I've encountered, hell, I think I still have some ointment to cure burns from White Martians laying around somewhere. I pull out the medicine I need: the antidote for fear gas. I get some into a syrange and I inject it into his arm. He'll be incompasitated for a the next day as the gas goes out of his system.

I notice Clark staring at him as I did the procedure. I remember that Clark had a lot to do with Dick's life here as well. He helped Dick when I had stubbornly fired him from his job as Robin, Clark even gave him the codename Dick uses now: Nightwing. He's just as worried as I am.

A buzzing in my comm intruppts my musing.

"Where is Dick?! What's wrong?" Barbra.

I can tell my her voice that she's more worried than Clark and I are. I remember her and Dick's...special relationship. I did not approve at first, considering their age differences, but in the end I accepted that they both loved each other. Though they "seperated" a while back, I know they still do. They don't call me the World's Greatest Detective for the hell of it.

"He's fine, Barbra. He inhaled some fear gas from Scarecrow. I got him here in the cave and gave him the antidote. He'll be out for the next day though.

"We'll need some more people here now that Nightwing's out of commision. Have you contacted Robin and Black Canary yet?"

 

[Batman]

OOC:A Day??!?!?!?!?!!?

Damn...

This whole season has amounted to a few hours of one night.......

OOC: Not true. Looking at the other posts, I'd say it's been about a month since the beginning.

I tend to do that a lot, don't I?

 

[Spike_x1]

The Joker sat in his cell, fully strapped into his straightjacket. He was playing checkers with himself using his toes.

He pleasantly smiled to himself and continued his conversation. "So how's the weather been outside? Fine, I would imagine. Swallow any tasty cyanide lately? No, but do you know what tastes really good?..."

Before Joker could answer his own question again, a voice spoke to him. Joker was pretty sure that the voice wasn't his own. The words that were spoken confirmed it.

"Puddin?"

 

[batnkevlar]

OOC: Flass, you have to realize you are coming in the middle of all the arcs and must work around them... in other words, read the last coupla pages (a good ten pages back should do) then EDIT your post...

 

[Phantasm]

OOC: We could incorporate time and date if that makes things a lot less confusing. Perhaps have the characters, wake up in the morning...or a glimpse of them right before going to bed...or eaeting dinner...that sort of thing.It will add a whole new sense of realism to the RPG...


IC:Barb Gordon


"Oh. Okay." That was good. The fear gas was generally not lethal or anything if treated right...and I was positive Batman had all the material neccesary to bring Dick back to health. I let out my breath not knowing I'd been holding it...

"And no.I haven't been able to contact the others. My system's crashed and I am pretty much useless considering the fact that Dinah and Tim are in the other corner of the world...The signal isn't strong enough to reach them."

OOC: Yes, that would be nice to have a 'day' BUT, some of the characters do better at night. i.e. Batman, Black Canary, Nightwing, so maybe just a general post of "It's now Dusk" "It's now Night" "It's now Dawn" "It's now day" Because that's one of the things I hate about the Hype RPG, there is 'no' night to play in.
Also you'd have to make a strict rule such as Two real life day's = One RPG day, because some people can't post every day.
I admit I enjoy the looseness of it. At the Marvel RPG several day's have passed for Spider-Man but in the X-men Time line it's just the middle of their 'first' day. All because the X-Men players haven't been posting as regularly.

ANY-way...

Here's what I posted earlier for Dinah.

Dinah received the communication and had just opened her mouth to say something when she heard the link close.

"Umm...Right" she nodded and headed for the on board computer she busily started to type on the keyboard.

Sorry, Babs, but it sounds like Dick and Bruce have it pretty well covered. You know I don't like stepping on Bruce's toes, this is HIS town after all.

Pressing a button to send the e-mail she spun around in her chair looking at Robin.

"Now," she said "Time to make a call."

Picking up her cell phone she re-dialed a recently receive number.

"Come on Hal, I hope you carry you're phone with you...

 

[Phantasm]

OOC:Yes but the last Babs communicated with Dinah was BEFORE the Joker incident.

 

[twylight]

OOC: Yes, I know I just reposted it without the OOC stuff.

 

[Phantasm]

okay.

 

[SuperFerret]

"We'll need some more people here now that Nightwing's out of commision. Have you contacted Robin and Black Canary yet?"

"I can pickup whatever slack in the mean time."

Superman looks down at Dick's unmoving form, he knew that Bruce thought of the young man as a son, and he felt that he could be a surrogate 'uncle' to Dick, as he has watched out for the guy in the past.

"I'll see if I can find the Scarecrow." Superman said as he turned to leave.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I watch Clark fly off and I continue with Barbra on the comm.

"Clark says he'll apprehend the Scarecrow. In the meantime, we need to consider our numbers. Superman, for all the good he can do, can't handle Gotham alone, and Clark, myself, and Dick would only slightly help matters. And since Dinah and Tim's too far off to hear us, I think we should choose...another alternative, if you catch my drift. ...Batgirl."

OOC: I think he's hinting something.

 

[SuperFerret]

EDIT - I'll post later in the thread.

 

[SuperFerret]

OOC: Did Commish Gordon ever recover from the Joker Gas? And if not who would be taking his place?

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: Did Commish Gordon ever recover from the Joker Gas? And if not who would be taking his place?

OOC: Currently, Gordon isn't even commish anymore. I believe it's Atkins or something like that now.
