I'm back. I didn't find my old man in Japan, so... well, I guess I don't have to worry about him anymore.

Good timing, though. Sounds like this place could use some help with repairs.

[Various sounds are heard in the background. Namely, metal upon metal. He's tinkering.]

Normally I'm not one to request anything from people, especially those I do not necessarily consider allies, but I find myself in dire need of more tools and certain parts. I have already searched various stores to no avail. If anyone knows where I could find more... advanced technology, I would be... very grateful.

. . . wonder if I managed to turn it on yet. . .Oh! I think I did! Hello? Is this working? Can anyone hear me? This is all very strange…even telephones aren’t like this…

Someone explained to me where I am, but I must admit, I’m still a little confused. We’re supposed to be heroes? I don’t know what good I would be...

I suppose...I can wield a sword. But I’ve seen that there isn’t much use for the blade in this society...

However, there is always the need for another Go player! Would anyone like a game? I can actually place my stones myself now!  I assure you, I wouldn’t be a nuisance of any kind!  And I would not even require monetary compensation for my time if we play a teaching game.

Anyone?

Then I suppose I simply...stop talking and let people respond...?

Oh! That store over there has those fake fish that look so real!

eight - video post

[Dr. Horrible turns the video on. This time, he seems a heck of a lot more confident and sure about himself. You can see it in the posture.]

Hello there heroes. I bet you're wondering 'hey! What's Dr. Horrible been up to lately? He hasn't tried anything particularly evil yet'. Well, you'll find this next plan quite explosive. You'll see what I'm talking about in three...two...one.

[There's the muffled sound of an explosion. Obviously, Dr. Horrible is somewhat close to the MAC]

That, heroes of the City, was a bomb. It was placed on top of the MAC. The top four floors are probably heavily damaged, and the next...ten or so floors have some minimal damage. Now, just picture that effect times three.

That's right. I've hidden three other bombs in places in the MAC. You have five minutes to disarm them before the MAC and anybody still remaining inside it turns into a pile of rubble. The five minutes start...

[He looked at his watch, waited for a moment, then nodded.]

Now. Hope you can find them!

[And cue the evil laughter. After he's done, Dr. Horrible turns away from the camera and starts to mutter.]

'Quite explosive'. What the hell was that? Bad puns aren't a requirement to be-crap.

[And click. The camera's turned off.]

[voice]

[latrodectus]

Is there anyone within a [pause] two-and-a-half minute vicinity of the MAC with experience diffusing bombs?

I am too far away. Though, maybe, if I had video feed of the bombs, I could be of some assistance.


Edit:

This would work best if we were organized into teams, one for each bomb.

Bomb #1: Domino (first group of floors)
Bomb #2: Shatterstar (second group of floors)
Bomb #3: ??? (third group of floors)
Bomb #4: ??? (top of the building)

ooc: regarding this, of course!

That was not a very nice wake up call.  Yes, I was still sleeping.  After last night...ugh.

I knew I should have started moving out sooner.

First off...anyone know how to get rid of a hangover?  The painkillers aren't working.

Second, and this one I don't really want to ask because I rather like having a place to myself but given I can't afford it...anyone looking for a roommate?

[a whistling sound, like air is rushing past the mic]

... thank Primus I'd already started moving my things to a different location in preparation for my move; most of my important information's at the office and my furniture in storage.

It's still extraordinarily difficult to move what's left on one's own. Hmph. And if that slagging building explodes I'll still have lost half my things. Bah.

Still, I'd find this whole situation funny if it wasn't for the inconvenience. Well, if I'm lucky, everyone I know will have the sense to get out and I can retrieve the rest of my things from the rubble. Or some kind hero will manage to diffuse the bombs and nothing will come of it~

I, however, am getting the slag out of here.

The sudden attack on animals honestly breaks my heart. I've been watching the news and... shit. It makes me sick. So do we have any leads? Or know anyone in the City who'd be targeting pets over people? Is anyone on look out around the parks? I've been trying to channel my energy to catch any sort of clues but all I get is static.



In unrelated news,
Anthony, I've got another pot of tea boiling and I'm a sucker for conversation. If you're around.

Tank. Question.

And I'm thinking I need to invest in a futon (or two). Dan, that couch must be getting awful and I really am sorry about it.

[There are inconsistent clunks, as or concrete is shifted off of him and onto the carpet. Other faint sounds are picked up by the microphone, like drywall crumbling and the hiss of a broken water pipe. He groans, and as he talks, sounds incredibly groggy.]

[[OOC: Yes, he's been knocked out cold since the first bomb. Chew Toy luck - most of his ceiling collapsed on him when the explosion took out a large part of the top floor's support. He just woke up, so feel free to fill him in. Or yell at him, whatever. He also has scattered first degree burns, and a broken left arm. He has the best luck. 8|]]

You guys really know how to go apeshit on an apartment. [He laughs] I've cleaned everything up. I'm not hungover anymore. S'nice to see a bunch of caped crusaders having a good time once in a while, instead of being so adamantly serious all the time. This “saving the City” deal must get tedious, yeh? Bonus points for the costumes, really, didn't think that'd go over well.

[A short pause, and he resumes, sounding more serious now.]

Let's talk about Near.

[There's a noise as if he's about to say something, but thinks better of it. Another pause.]

Aaaand it looks like I'm on the job hunt again.
Besides being a cleaning lady.

So, just out of curiosity since people are supposed to be patrolling and stopping buildings from blowing up and what not, do we have an official X-Men roster now? Outside of the school as in a team? I know we have a bunch of us from different time lines and universes, so I'm thinking some lesser confusion would be good. What are you saying, Cyke?

Speaking of X-Men: who considers themselves one from their world and what was the last big event you remember? Just so we're all on the same page here. X-Force, I'll include you since you all are practically a field team anyhow.

In other news, I'm a stock market master. I'm not anywhere close to my earnings back home, but I figure in no time my magic will have been worked and business will be mine again. And since I have some extra cash in my pocket now, Betsy, beautiful, would you like to get dressed up like old times and attend the formal event with me?

Who else is going anyways?

There is now a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Horrible, for arson, destruction of property, assault, and attempted murder. Anyone that turns him in will be, as the city has informed me, nicely rewarded.

Of course, you should find him and turn him in anyway, reward or not - it's the right thing to do.

[private to Autobots - which includes Metabee and Waspinator ]

It's too much of a liability to live in a building that is a target for being blown up. Not to mention that the abundance of hidden cameras makes me uncomfortable. I'm looking for an apartment that can serve as a base for us as well - ideally we'd each have our own rooms. If you're interested, let me know so I can shop around for the right place.

I'd like to move out of the MAC and into a new place as soon as possible.

While I have not been back to my current residence since this morning, I suspect that I do not have an apartment to return to. Would there be anyone willing to lend me somewhere to sleep tonight? I'm afraid I have not yet recieved my first paycheck, so I am not able to repay you yet.

On that note, I realized last week that one of the things I miss most about my home is the presence radio had. With that in mind, I visited a few radio stationsm and discovered that one of them was looking for a new evening announcer. Starting Monday, you can hear [there is a slight hesitation, then he continues sounding slightly resigned] Lamont Cranston reading the news in the evenings at 1010 on the AM dial.

[OOC: station picked because I know what's on my local 1010, and I got tired of trying to figure out New York stations. If anyone has any better suggestions please go ahead]
