Needed a new jacket today. My coats always end up in shreds.

The music in the store I went to? Yeah, almost made me miss Anaconda's playlist. Thanks for that.

~15 [VIDEO]

[meowminx]

[A chorus of cackles. Shaky video of several unconscious goons in an alley. Their faces are deathly pale, twisted into grotesque grins--anyone familiar with Joker venom will recognize the effects.

The view shifts up from the ground. A group of similarly disfigured thugs advances, the source of the laughter. Catwoman's voice breaks in.]

They're all over. We need people on the streets now.

[Muttered] ...find that bastard, I'll...

[Video clicks off.]


[ooc: At Brad's request!]

[ And we have an angle that shows one Peter Parker hanging upside down over his apartment's dining room table, pen in ear and dry erase marker in hand, with a literal mountain of papers and technical equipment spread out before him. There's also what looks to be last night's take-out spread out, here and there, along with a fairly large chalk board.standing filled out waaaay in the back of the picture. He's talking to himself; mumbling really, and the microphone barely picks any of it up. ]

--ulsor's and cameo would be too much, but the extra legs and HUD might be do-able if. . . .

[ The recording doesn't pick up the rest. ]

ooc | what could our friendly neighborhood Webhead be thinking up, I wonder?

5th Joke: Gas

It's time to plaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

[ooc: There are now thugs on Joker Venom swarming your City. Apologies for the lateness, once again forgot to post it to the comm.]

Voice

[capsomeday.livejournal.com]

[Sound of footsteps crunching in snow and inarticulate grumbling]

Okay, seriously? I knew Stark was nuts, he’s made that plenty obvious with Registration, but this? Has the radiation from his power pack finally fried his super-brain or something? Dragging metas from God only knows where and dumping them here to be cops? He ever consider, oh, recruitment and training of a new freaking police force instead of KIDNAPPING? Or sending out for some temporary help from some other CITY instead of EVERY OTHER DIMENSION he can hit with his handy dandy super-freaking-teleporter?

Anyway, anyone out there heard of the Young Avengers? Wiccan, Hulkl-- Holy shit!

[Sound of deranged laughter and the beginnings of a scuffle before the transmission clicks off]

[OOC, might not be around much to rep this afternoon/evening but this seemed like a good way to finally toss Eli into the mix so I hope it's ok. If it's not I'll delete and bring him in later, otherwise I'll try to get to things as I can.]

Voice; Locked from all known villains

[nanofragment.livejournal.com]

[There is the sound of a gun firing and loud yells.]


Well-

[The shattering of glass and a loud thump. Another shot has been fired.]


I'll be back in a little bit.

[The voices are louder now. Echoing like she's in an ally. She makes a small 'hn' of amusement before calling out in an icy tone. ]

Your simple little guns won't work on me! You're hardly worth fighting.

[Bang. Bang. Bang. More bullets.]

[Transmission cut.]

[oneofthequick.livejournal.com]

The hospital remains open, however it would be greatly appreciated if you're able to call before coming in for treatment.

[voice]

[rwb-hero.livejournal.com]

[There's lots of laughter from the toxin victims, and the typical sounds of people fighting. Cap's voice breaks in, strong and determined.]

If anyone has information on the location of the Joker, feel free to chime in at any time.

[A loud metal clang is heard and a rushing of wind.]

There has to be a pattern. Have to be a trail or something. No one is this random.

[Someone screams, as another rush of air whistles loudly. Cap grunts as a window is broken around him. His voice is quiet when it's heard again.]

Damn. Bucky, Namor: I could really use the Invaders right about now.

[ooc: I have a reason for calling for the Invaders instead of the Avengers.]

7th Reason I'm Better Than You [Filtered From Known Villains] Voice;

[mydadisbatman.livejournal.com]

I'm... at the elementary school... in the bad part of town.

[The sound of a brief scuffle.]

Could someone... guh... someone help... get the kids out... no more Joker freaks here but...

[Ragged panting and coughing followed by a groan.]

Don't think I can... make it any further...

Kids are safe though...

[ooc: Attacks of the Joker freaks should be slowing by now. If someone wants to come get Damian and maybe set up a log to that effect, let me know, that would be great. He's hurt pretty bad.]

{voice}

[riverbytwos.livejournal.com]

their mouths...look like scimitars.

(There is screaming, laughter that is cut off by choking, and the wet sounds of flesh colliding with flesh. It gets quiet--the only sounds are far-off shrieks, close-by sobs, and River breathing heavily. More laughter sounds in the distance, getting closer. Then the message cuts out.)

(ooc: River is busily protecting a little boy she happened to be passing on the street when the Joker's thugs came swarming over everything. If anyone wants to panic that she's 'in danger' and run along and find her actually kicking some ass for the first time, comment away. Open log is there.)

[video/voice]

[gamera-sucks.livejournal.com]

[shaky, retreating image of a hospital, as though he can't hold the camera still]

[a shockingly deep and proud, angry voice]

I clean territory. No dead-smile-humans here now. All catch, crush.

Find many wheel-box in home, put dead-smile-humans in, take here.

Not know if will live. Not care. I do what say. Not problem, now.

[the voice pauses; he's breathing just... a little too heavily, if only for a moment. the camera spins to show the surroundings, clearly unintentionally. he's turning around, evidently, trying to orient himself, and forgetting that the others can see him do so.]

Not... feel okay. Am go home. Leave alone, me.

Any human more come my home this day... I kill.

Any.

[video snaps off]





[ooc: he took down an appropriate number of thugs and dragged them to the nearest hospital, piled 2 or 3 at a time in/on shopping carts. some are severely beaten, a couple are badly burned and/or may have minor radiation sickness for a while, and a few probably have very serious internal injuries--and he means what he says in the last part. seriously, don't go looking for him in the scrapyard.]

[wrldsmostwanted.livejournal.com]

I'm at the prison. It looks like someone with horrible fashion sense had the bright idea of breaking in to a secure maximum security cell in block 4 while his flunkies set the city on fire. Don't worry I've seen to it that he's not going anywhere... not without a limp anyway. By the time you get here I'm be long go-

**BLAM!!**

[The sound of a gunshot followed by a voice that is most assuredly not Lupin's.]

Who-hoo-hooo Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Well it looks like someone actually got the joke. Not bad Lupin, but your sanitized approach to crime is as outdated as those ridiculous sideburns. Remember our little conversation about Loony Tunes? Well it's WABBIT SEASON!

**BANG!!**

[The sound of another shot is heard as Lupin speaks up again.]

Uungh... Duck Season.

**BLAM!**

[The transmission suddenly cuts off amiss the sound of more gunshots and the Joker's deranged laughter rings off over the coms.]

This . . .

Why are you . . .

Stop! I don't know why they look like they do, but they're *alive*! They're human beings!

IV [video]

[aswordashield.livejournal.com]

[Brian is flying above the city. The angle of the camera suggests he's got it strapped to his wrist. His attention is on the streets below, his expression serious. His lower lip is split and bleeding: he looks like he's caught the wrong end of a fight. He's talking loudly over the rush of the wind.]

The clowns are all over the city. They're highly aggressive, and will attack both civillians and heroes on sight. They appear to be moving in groups. They look like normal people, but do not seem to feel pain. They are very, very dangerous. Do not underestimate them. I repeat, do not underestimate them.

Those of you who can defend yourselves or others, get onto the streets. Keep in mind the fact that these people most likely to not know and cannot help what they are doing. Contain them as best you can, but don't bring them to serious harm.

If you have no defensive powers or have not been trained in combat, it is imperative that you stay inside. The best way you can help is to keep yourself out of the fight.

Stay together. Stay safe. Do not hesitate to call for help if you need it. I will be making sweeps over the city when I can. Now is not the time for pride.

If those of you who have come across the Joker before could contact me as to the nature of this menace, I would be grateful.

[ There's a hurricane brewing somewhere near the western edge of the City, and everything it touches is being thrown heaven-ward. Do be careful, heroes, Ikki's finally let some of his Road out for everyone to see. ]
