So, it looks like good ol' Toro needs to find himself a job. Anyone hiring? See, I've never had a real job before---unless working in the circus counts? I don't think there's a big call for fire eaters around here, and I figure that since people know that that's my power, it'd kind of be cheating.

I'm real friendly and I'm good with animals and people and most kids. I work hard and I swear I won't ever be late if you hire me. Heck, I can cook, too! And I don't even have to use a stove. How's that for a neat trick?

Buck says I've gotta buy my own cot if I want one, and his couch ain't that comfortable. So I need a job.

I gotta tell ya, this looks like a really crappy city in a really lousy reality. And comin' from someone who calls Gotham City home, hehe, that should mean something.

Oooohahahaha.

Looks like somebody played with this place a little too hard. Tsk, tsk, tsk. How long until it gets put together? I hate it when someone has a chance to break my toys before I do.

Now, can anyone tell me where a grocery store is? I've got some chemicals to play with.

And call me crazy, but has anyone seen a man dressed in tights as a giant bat? Last seen probably punching or kicking or bataranging someone. Ooooooooor maybe one of the half dozen little boys and girls he dresses up in tights and plays with, one of them will do too.

Hahahahahahaha.

Now that I got that out of the way - [louder] HEY. Jaime or - whatever you name is anyway - I'm off to Vegas tomorrow, so I'm just letting you know that you do not want to go around touching any of my stuff.

Nico, I don't care how much time packing your makeup takes? You better be ready when I get over there.

[Aigis is in bed safely at someone's house-- she isn't sure where. She passed out after Soundwave, Lyra and others rescued and healed her. Perhaps her ensuing speech is just pillowtalk... but she means every word of it.]

A long while ago... before I arrived here...

I was a machine.

There were many things I did not understand... I would frequently struggle for a purpose. I would stutter when I spoke, unable to convey simple feelings through words. Often, I would tell myself that the only reason I could not communicate was because I was not 'people'. I was not a living thing. Unnatural, unable to die, only able to feel as much as my programming allowed.

But...

I met someone. Someone I stayed alongside through good times, and bad times-- we even faced the world's end, side by side.

He is not here. But... that is okay. I know he is safe, and I am protecting him.

When I considered my transformation, I suddenly felt vulnerable. I was not sure whether to smile or cry-- Mortality is a frightening thing to accept. I cannot be rebuilt. My parts are now irreplaceable. But now... that too, is alright. I have always lived by creating bonds with others.

The world may not be the same, but my feelings... they are unchanged.

Thank you, City. Thank you for your kindness, and the friendships you have given me. Whether SEES is here, or not... I will cherish what little I have...

Someday, maybe... I will write a song about it...

...I hope not. God, I can't think of anything worse than that.



...me? I'm trying my best to carry that weight I couldn't hold before. Once I'm satisfied, I hope I have the chance to grow old,

get fat,

go bald...

...and die peacefully in my sleep.

The past week has been rather interesting, to say the least. I never thought I'd see a creature that large in my lifetime.

It seems that there are many abandoned shops in the areas near the destruction. How would I go about approaching the owners to see if I could rent space?

There are so many different kinds of humans here. Some of you aren't even human, and some of you say that you aren't if only to mark yourselves as different. Some of you claim to be greater things -- gods or demons. Some of your lives are over in your own universe, and some of you are looking forward to continuing your own lives.

Some of you claim to be heroes already, but I think that's a term given by one person to another. My experience tells me that heroism depends on the perspective: one ruler might be a hero to his subjects, but a villain to his enemies, no matter how many of either he kills. In the end it all comes down to how each person sees you, so only the conceited would think to give themselves either title.

[A brief moment of silence as he considers stopping his dictation then, but decides to say more]

I don't sleep -- I face forever without the hope of even death to rest. But I finally have a real purpose here, for as long as it lasts before I return to my own world. I don't know if this place is real, I can't tell whether anything I do makes the slightest difference to it... Are the villains here merely fragments of my own exhausted mind, or am I just a playing piece in someone else's fantasy? Is this city merely a playpen for them in which I happen to have been drawn inside? Am I fighting my battle now, caught in some faux world from which I cannot hope to escape?

[A pause, followed by a sigh]

It doesn't matter -- what does is that this is where I am, now, and I must face it as though it is real in the event that what I do here does make a difference to someone. Maybe I can go back stronger than I was when I left.

I have another question for you. A brief one, don't worry! I know your troubles have likely left you little time for trivia!

Does the name 'Luthor' mean anything to you?

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

So. Hold on.

Let me get this straight, because the first thing I did - okay, second thing, after getting a pack of fags - first thing I did was catch up on this shit, see how long I was out.

I disappear off the face of the planet for... eh, three or so days on this place's side, looks like? Utterly, completely gone.

And not a soul - not even the people who hate my guts, and I'm particularly disappointed in you folks - notices I've gone more than just the usual missing.

Allow me to make a two part statement.

You're all assholes.

AND.

Fuck you with a rusty wrench.

Whatever. I'm back to twist your heads back on proper and punch you so hard that you vomit up Arby's you ate in 4th grade, and all that shit that goes with it.

Hidan slides out of the flames, burns on his skin. ]

And here I was, thinking that disgusting man's departure signaled less troubles in the future! I suppose I shouldn't have been so naive.

Was the body really found in [LOCATION]? How inexcusably rude. Perhaps I haven't made it entirely clear, but I like to think that the West is under my protection, and incidents such as this are absolutely unacceptable. This holds for anyone else who might think of causing trouble there; please, don't think of it as a challenge! I don't want to fight anyone; I only wish to ensure the safety of the area, and if that means taking action, I will do so.

I can tell everyone's nerves are grating from the recent breakouts in the city prison and from the accusations flying around both from and aimed at Tony Stark, but it's important that we remember in uncertain times like this especially it's important to allow them to bring us together, not tear us apart. This is America, or at least a passable imitation, and as such we should not allow our differences to separate us.

Thank you.

[androllout.livejournal.com]

I'm going to say this once. I understand that people have some kind of aversion to listening to me, but this is pretty important, and I've had it.

Now, I am deeply grateful to those of you that have assisted the police in various fashions - citizens' arrests, monetary funding, giving your time and effort to help us rebuild the prison several times and get SOME modicum of security back online. Your help is invaluable, and we'd be absolutely overwhelmed without it.

However.

If the only way the rest of you are going to help those of us in the police department KEEP criminals behind bars is whine and complain when one escapes, I don't want to hear it, and neither does anyone else on the force.

We are QUITE aware that the prison isn't made for people with superpowers. We understand that we have a skeleton crew on a good day, and that most of us are tired all the time because we put in eleven-hour days. We KNOW that the constant break-outs and bombings are a major problem.

But if you aren't going to do anything to help us FIX that problem, then SHUT UP and mind your own fragging business.

Well, this has been a rather charming example of getting what you want in the form that you deserve. I imagine that you are all fussing over the tragic deaths of your friends and loved ones, lost in the recent giant lizard attack on the City. I must say that it hardly seems the most traditional or the most efficient or even the most effective mode of wreaking vengeance on a city of vice, but I suppose that new times call for new methodology, and who am I to judge what He sees fit after all?

All that aside, this is a message of warning: repent, ye sinners, and see the error of your ways that you may find the path to His paradise.

And does anyone know of a really good sushi restaurant? I have been wanting to try some for a while, but I do not know what to look for.
