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

[PFunk2]

Even for the "World's Greatest Detective," I couldn't figure out what he was saying.

"What are you talking about, John?"

John, sighing for a moment answers Bats "I meant takin our crimson speedster out on the town to unwhine."

 

[PFunk2]

OOC: So where am I? I'm not back for good, I'm still grounded, but I can play a little...

OOC: Then jump in

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

John, sighing for a moment answers Bats "I meant takin our crimson speedster out on the town to unwhine."

"Alright, what does that have to do with me?"

 

[PFunk2]

"Alright, what does that have to do with me?"

"As of now that's up to you." John answers. "My orignial purpose for contacting you was to ask about Flash's condition. Now that I know what he's going thru. A night on the town is a good way of helping out our speedster friend. You can either Join us or not. The choice is up to you." John crossing his arm before adding. "Unless you have a better ideal."

I am slightly dumbfounded. He was asking me--Batman, The Dark Knight, the member of the Justice League that was so uptight that, compared to Auther's, felt like a warm tropical breeze--to a night on the town? It's perposterus! It's absurd! It's--

...

Wait, let the man tell you his plan, then decide.

Yeah, that sounds good.

"What did you have in mind? Where were you going to take him?"

"What did you have in mind? Where were you going to take him?"

The fact that Batman wanted to join in on this briefly, but visualy shocked John. Afterall he was your classic anti-social hero among heros. But quickly recovering he answers.

"Well I was planning on taking him to Warriors. Guy's old bar." he continues. "But I want to check and see if it still exists first. If it's not around then I'll find someplace. I'll contact you when I'm ready to do this thing. That's square with you?"

 

[twylight]

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be arriving at our point of lodging very soon,"

Dinah started awake at the crackling of the bus speakers. Glancing over she noticed her adopted travel partners stirring awake.
She studied the front of the bus, landing her eyes on the back of Digger’s head as Hans continued.

"We have accommodations for the entire group and a chef who will have a lovely dinner laid out for all of you to enjoy. Tomorrow we will be leaving early to begin the actual safari part of our tour and to survey the actual working diamond fields of the Congo. Thank you again for choosing Twylight Tours."

“Hmm..sounds right up Mr. Harkness’s alley.” Dinah smiled

A few minutes later the bus turned up a short driveway, that lead to a large kwansit hut.
Dinah did a double take. No, this was NOT going down as vacation time. She glanced at the back of Digger’s head, covered in brown locks. She wouldn’t mind giving him a nice roundhouse kick to the head right now. He sure knew how to pick a Safari trip.

The bus pulled up in front of the doors with a squeak of the brakes and a small jolt. Dinah followed her travel companions down the bus aisle, noticing that Digger Harkness waited in his seat. Out of consideration or whatever else motivated him was beyond what she could tell. She would have preferred to have him within watching range.
As she passed his seat she felt a familiar feeling in the back of her head.
Yes, he was checking her out.
She knew the feeling of a man casting a studious glance towards her backside.
She had lived with and dated the master of such things. Womanizers weren’t that hard for Dinah to pick out, even if it was just a glance at her rear. Though this womanizer didn’t carry the compassionate air of one like Ollie had.

Stepping off the bus into the cooling evening air was a relief. She closed her eyes and stretched out. Opening her eyes to see the orange pink tints of the sun on the clouds above a marked contrast to the greenery that surrounded them.
Grabbing her bag as it was tossed down she helped Edna, Freda, Sarah and a few of the other women with theirs.
Dinah noticed Digger step out of the Bus and help the other Senior’s with their bags.

Grabbing her bags and following the ‘Bridge Club’ into the Hut, Dinah was surprised to find it homey, with delicious smells wafting around the room.
Getting their room assignments, Dinah was pleased to see she was right next to the older women and not far from Digger Harkness’s room.
Following the numbers Dinah discovered that the ‘room’ was little more than a glorified niche in the wall. She was relieved however to see a mosquito net over the bed.
Placing her bags down, one on the floor and the other on the bed she felt her stomach burst out with complaints about her irregular eating recently. Taking her camera bag off of her neck and placing it next to the bag on her bed, she placed another hand over her stomach.
“I’m making Babs order Pizza when I get back. We’ll have Cassie over and maybe Helena and make a big ta-do about it. I wonder where in Gotham I can find fried Ice Cream.” she wondered as thoughts of chili crab and steak ran through her mind.

Making her way to the Dining room she found that the cook was indeed worthy of the title.

Roast Beef, carrots, potatoes and loaves of, what she guessed was homemade local bread were heaped in serving trays on the table.
Taking a seat strategically, Dinah placed herself between Sarah and married couple, in just the right place to see Digger Harkness.

However once the Cook had served them up Dinah let her mind slip off of that particular man of the hour and proceeded to devour two and a half servings of food.

Leaning back in her chair after the meal she gave a contented sigh. Thoughts of fried Ice Cream and steak, eclipsed by thoughts of how she could get the cook to come state side with her.

"Fine. I'll need to check on the city first, make sure it isn't going burn in hell--well, it preety much is, but at least not smoldering in the heat."

Then it hits me.

"Isn't the Warrior's a GL-only bar? Is Guy still running it?"

Then it hits me.

"Isn't the Warrior's a GL-only bar? Is Guy still running it?"

"That's what I am to find out." John says as he begins to lift himself into the air. "So I'll leave you alone with you're city-but don't be affraid to give me a call if you need help." And on that note John leaves batman on the roof and heads off skyward.

OOC: Just PMed RedRose. The guy just stopped posting and we need to get this whole thing wrapped up because there's some other stuff I want to(and seems like I have) be involved in. I'm gonna have to bunny the guy if he doesn't post soon. Sorry if I hold you up PFunk and DarkKnight.

OOC; Same here. I hopping to get this thing wrapped up and done by this weekend-if not sooner.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I watch the figure of John Stewart slowly fade into the horizon. By the time I drop down to the penthouse level when I realized something.

Did I just agree on doing a "Guy's Night Out?"

"Any problems, Master Bruce?"

I look and I see Alfred standing near the balcony door. He's limited to the use of a cane from his injuries. It is unsure whether he'll have to use the cane permantately or not.

"Not really," I reply, "I found out that one of the 'super-villians is back from the dead, I've had to battle my former partner again, and I was tricked into doing a 'Guy's Night Out' with Green Lantern and Flash. In other words, preety much your standard night."

"If I may be so bold, sir, but while I understand the first two as a worry, but why the third? Is it so bad to be social to people?"

"I'm social enough. I have you, don't I?"

"Yes you do, Master Bruce, but I won't live forever, now will I?"

I chose to ignore that and start to the "Secret Section" and check on Oracle's feed-back, looking at the latest news and information that would concern me.

Harvey apparently is back in the D.A.'s office. I'm glad that he has been able to surpress his murderous alter-ego. Hopefully he can do some good for the city.

In less hopefull news, The Joker has escaped Arkham--AGAIN--and has started his usual murder spree. It's reported that he killed a group of people in a depression clinic with his Smilex gas and has murdered a doctor with an anbulance. I figure out his motive--he's killing people in ironic ways. But, the events seem entirely too random at this point to figure out his location or plan. I'll just wait and see until something more concrete shows up.

"So, what are the rest of your plans for the night?" I hear Alfred ask.

"The night's still young, I might as well do a patrol."

"Are you sure that's so wise? You must still rest from your previous injuries--"

"Says the man who's up and about when your doctor told you to say in bed?"

"...Touche', sir."

I allow myself a small smirk and head out for the balcony.

"Don't wait up."

"Parish the thought, sir."

With that, I shoot out a line and swing out into the night.

 

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: hey Guys is my Dent allright? Or do I need too explore the charcter more?

 

[Savage]

OOC: You're doin good man.

 

[Karem-Knight]

OOC: You're doin good man.

thax

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

OOC: hey Guys is my Dent allright? Or do I need too explore the charcter more?

OOC: You're doing preety good, my only suggestion is to check your spelling and such before you post. Try copying and pasting your post on Microsoft Word or something with some sort of spell check before you post, that would help a lot. Besides that, you're doing preety good with the character.

 

[Keyser Soze]

It was a crisp, cold night in Gotham City. The Joker was freezing his nuts off, walking out in the cold. But it was all part of the plan. This was going to be something big, something dramatic. And it would certainly heat things up! HA HA!

The Joker's chain of thought was broken when he spotted that his ride was here. The 267 Bus was at the stop, picking up the queue of passengers. The Joker quietly joined onto the end of the queue. When he got onto the bus, he smiled at the driver.

"I have my ticket...right..."

He pulled out a gun and put a bullet through the driver's head.

"...Here! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

He pulled the driver out of his seat and through him out of the door. All the passengers began to scream. Some began to run for the doors, but The Joker quickly flipped them shut and drove off at breakneck speed.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I will be your driver for this evening. I'm afraid that there will be a slight diversion to the bus route, so if any of you have appointments, I'm afraid you won't be making them. But look on the bright side - this is going to be the most important day of your lives. And, most likely, the last! HA HA!"

The Joker slammed his foot down on the acceleration, ramming a car off the road. It was time for his next little joke...

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

I swing across the city, half focused on the swinging, half musing on where The Joker could be.

I drop on a building, roll into it, and start "roof-hopping," as Dick once put it, scanning the area while doing so.

It's then when I see a bus driving irratically across the street, dodging between the wrong lane and right.

I swing down and just barely land on the top of the bus, nearly falling off. The bus is getting more irratic by the second.

I quickly jog towards the front of the bus. I drop down on it and look onto the driver's side window.

The Joker.

I punch through the glass and punch Joker in the face. I drop down and hit the breaks on the bus, screetching to the sidewalk.

"Joker."

 

[nixonbat]

OOC: The hype ate my post. I was going to attempt again, but don't have another half hour to re-do it right now. Besides, I'd rather not write when I'm angry. Wouldn't do Digger justice.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker yelped in pain as Batman punched him across the face. He glanced out of the broken front window of the bus. This would do just fine.

"Batman, so nice of you to drop in! HA HA!"

The Joker threw 3 razor-sharp playing cards at Batman, more as a distraction rather than a serious attack. But it worked. He was able to scramble out of the broken window, bounce off the front hood, and land neatly on the ground below.

"Come catch me...Bruce," cakcled The Joker, running away from the bus.

Batman began to follow The Joker. Once they were both a safe distance away, The Joker took out a small trigger.

"Wait a second, wait a second! Just have a look where we are. Now, you're going to want to see this..."

The Joker pressed the button on the trigger, blowing up the bus, and everyone on it. And where were they? Right in front of the Gotham City Fire Department.

"BOOM! Oh, the irony!"

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

The Joker was still laughing as I saw the wreckage, and only stopped when I kicked him right in the right temple, dropping like a sack of potatoes.

The firefighters aren't here yet. I scan the area and find a fire hydrant in close vincinity to the bus. In a fit of inspiration, I take one of the smaller exploding Batarangs and threw it right onto the hole of the hydrant, the cork-like piece exploding and water rushing out towards the bus. Not much, but it will have to do until the firefighters get here.

I look and see The Joker picking himself up. I throw him up by the collar and throw him away, several feet into the air and several yards away. He lands, skidding for a few more inches.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The Joker skidded along the ground. He may have thrown out his back. He rolled over onto his knees, and with a wince of pain, shakily stood up.

"Heh...heh heh...Batman, I think....it's a little late to save those people in the bus. They're already chargrilled! HA HA!"

Batman began to approach The Joker. The Joker began slowly backing away from him.

"Woah, woah, easy there, Brucie. Now that we...have some privacy, I need to ask you. What's the point of this lifelong mission of yours, huh? I've been doing some research on you. Mommy and daddy shot dead when you were a little brat, eh? So all this, everything you've done, has all been about you having a chip on your shoulder? HAHAHAHAHA!"

The Joker could see the anger beginning to grow within his nemesis.

"I just don't get how you can base your whole life on one little thing. Me? I reinvent myself every morning! HA HA!"

Suddenly, The Joker dropped a smoke grenade onto the ground. In the burst of smoke, The Joker was able to make a run for it. But he wasn't going to get too far. he needed help. Hiding behind a fire truck, The Joker took out his cellphone and dialled a number,

"Hello?" said Harvey Dent on the other side.

"Hey, Harv! i need you to pick me up at the Gohtam City Fire Department. I'm in a spot of trouble."

"I am NOT going to help you any more, Joker!" snapped Dent.

"Heh heh, you don't have a choice, Harv. If you don't help me, I'll ruin you!"

"Oh right," scoffed Harvey, "So now every time you want something from me, you just turn the screw?"

"If you don't get your ass over here...right now," hissed The Joker, "You'll find out just how tightly I can twist!"

There was a brief pause.

"I...I'm on my way," said Dent, hanging up.

The Joker put away the cellphone. Okay, now it was just a matter of hiding from Brucie until good old Harv showed up.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

Murderer. Monster. Anti-Christ. None of these words could possibly describe this piece of scum standing before me.

He DARES to murder people in cold blood, insult me and my parents?! White-hot fury burned in my veins. I wanted to choke the life out of his bleeding carcass.

He drops a smoke grenade to make a break for it, but I won't let him go that easily. I turn on the infa-red on the lenses in my cowl and track Joker's location. I stalk him like a lion to a gazelle and watch him sneak behind a fire truck. He sits down and starts talking to someone.

Wait. Did he just mention a "Harv?" ...Oh God. He's involved with this too. I had hoped that Harvey was finally free from his evil side, but it seems to follow him relentlessly no matter how hard he tries. I'm reminded of my own persona and I brush the thought away. Focus on Joker now.

I drop down after his phone call and swipe the phone away. I pick the bastard up by the collar and start punching him in the face. Never relenting. Never stopping. Just trying to punch the evil right out of him, leaving only a superficial shell behind.

 

[Spike_x1]

The Parasite awoke in a refrigerated chamber, strapped onto a wall. He had dozens of pipes and tubes attached to his body, leading off into the ceiling. They were feeding him short bursts of energy. The bursts were large enough to keep him alive and coherent, but not large enough to give him adequate strength to break free.
Rudy inhaled his first lungful of air, it was like a hammer shattering glass. When he exhaled, he could see his own breath. Small patches of frost had formed on his purple skin.

A door across the room from Rudy opened and Deadshot walked into the room. He wasn’t wearing his faceless mask for the time being. Floyd Lawton took a moment to puff away at his cigarette several times before positioning it in his hand as if it were a knife. “Now, this is just to make sure you’ve got enough juice in you to pay close attention.” said Deadshot as he jabbed the cancer stick into the Parasite’s chest. Unlike most other people, the Parasite didn’t burn in situations like this. Instead, when the crumpled cigarette was removed, Rudy’s eyes shot fully open as he absorbed the minuscule amount of heat produced by the lit tobacco.

“I’m all ears, Lawton.” growled Parasite.

“You know that’s kind of funny considering the fact that you don’t actually have any ears.” smirked Deadshot. The smartass. “I’ll cut to the chase, Jones. You should be well aware by now of who’s custody you’re in, but just incase your brain doesn’t quite match your brawn, you’re back with the Suicide Squad.” Floyd took a couple steps back and lit another cigarette.

“I heard the Wall was in prison. Who’s running the show now? Luthor?”

Deadshot’s eyes narrowed. “Someone beyond our bald friend. Someone who made sure that Lex wouldn’t make any trouble for us and our plans.” A beeping sound began to ring from somewhere on Lawton’s costume. Deadshot put his hand to his wrist and deactivated the beeping tone. “Sorry Rudy, but our time's up for now. I’ll be back to brief you on your mission tomorrow.” With that, Floyd Lawton turned and walked out the door, closing it behind him.

“Mission?” Rudy asked himself. “Aw s**t.”

 

[Karem-Knight]

Harvey got into the car and started it up right away, putting it on full speed ahead.

15 Minutes later;

Harvey arrived at his location they’re was Fire everywhere

“Oh My god OH MY GOD!” Harvey then noticed a fading smoke grenade.

Getting out his napkin and putting it into his mouth Harvey run too The Joker.

But then he saw a former allied/nemesis The Batman!

He then turned around the choices we’re making him crazy; he then got out the coin.

“TALES, I WIN HARV!” Harvey then got out his gun and pointed at the Bat!

“Let him go!”
