[the feed's a bit shaky and fuzzy at first, but as soon as everything clears, the camera focuses on the face of a young woman. her shoulders are bare, but she purposely isn't showing anything below her shoulders.

the woman is clearly Shego, and...what's this? it might be a trick of the crappy warehouse light, but she's looking a lot less green than usual. in fact, she isn't green at all. she looks extremely annoyed, but for an entirely different reason.]

Ugh. Don't think I ever want to do that again. Dying isn't exactly fun, y'know. I normally get out of the place before it, oh, I dunno, explodes in my friggin'  face.

[she rubs said face, and there's a long pause.]

One: how long was I dead for? What did I miss?

And two: ...

[SHE SAYS THIS WITH SUCH A DEADPAN EXPRESSION TOO]

...I need clothes.

// ooc : aaaaaand, pbs and lack of green energy powers aside, Shego is back from the dead!
EDIT: bedtime for me! i will tagback asap~ 8) //

If any of you were involved in this, so help me you are off the team until I decide otherwise. And if you were involved and don't tell me, when I find out, and I will find out, it will be worse than just a temporary suspension.

I want every single one of you to report in right now with your location because God forbid someone is missing, we now have to work on an extraction plan in case any of them are our people.

It's not topical, I know, but I'm interested. How does one react to being told they're a fictional character? A few of you must have been forced to come to terms with it by now, given how often it seems to come up.

CNM NEWS PIECE: May 16, 2010, morning show

[holycablechrist.livejournal.com]

[It is 8 AM and the jingle from Good Morning USA is playing. Contrary to the usual cheery atmosphere in the newsroom, the anchors are shuffling through their papers before turning to the camera. The female anchor speaks first.]

Following recent events in Washington D.C. and statements from both the President of the United States and mayor of Los Angeles, a terrorist organization so far unnamed attempted an attack on Los Angeles last night. Here's Lucy Wind with more details. Lucy?

[The camera cuts to video footage of Lucy Wind outside of the State Hall in L.A. There is a plethora of cop cars and police on the scene. The State Hall is intact, but keen eyes may notice damage from gun fire and strangely enough scratches. Pieces of metal are also scattered across the steps and street.]

This is Lucy Wind reporting live from Los Angeles this morning. Last night, at approximately midnight, a group of terrorists broke into State Hall and opened fire on security. Four are currently in custody right now and there is, I believe, two still on the loose. So far there has been no information released on who these terrorists are and where they came from though there is speculation that they originate from the City. No I.D. on the suspects have been confirmed yet, but at least two of the men were caught on camera last night. Take a look.

[Another cut and it shows grainy security footage of Cable and Deadpool walking in State Hall. Cable pauses and grabs Deadpool by the back of his uniform. He nods to someone off camera and suddenly the cameras are cut.

The camera turns on Lucy Wind again.]

Several security officers are under intensive care at this moment. Thankfully, there were no casualties in the crossfire. We'll keep you updated right here on CNM, bringing you the news first.

[And the feed cuts. OOC; this is a newsfeed, so feel free to go comment crazy. Cable's crew might respond depending on if they feel like it. I know Cable doesn't.]

My, things really are getting interesting! Deep introspection on the human state, theatrical attacks upon the City of Angels, a dastardly politician - isn't that a surprise - becoming leader of an elite group focused on the destruction of our very lives. It's all so thrilling!

Alas, I still languish in this prison. Really, I could be doing so much more outside of these walls! Tyki, James, you both owe me a visit and a kiss for playing so nice in here for this long! [Protip: he couldn't break out if he tried.] Now that I'm thoroughly bored, why not follow the bandwagon for once and pose a moral quandary? You all seem quite fond of them.

You're in a room with a man wielding a gun and holding two children hostage - one is six, the other fourteen. He tells you that you may choose one to let live, and that the other will die. If you make a move, he will kill one of the children at random and seriously injure the other; no, I don't care what your powers are, we're playing with the rules of the game. You have no weapons on your person. If you move quick enough, you may overpower the man and take away his gun - but it won't save the children.

Now which one to let live, hm? The younger one? Or the older?

[ Anakin's cross-legged on the floor with the communicator resting atop a pile of books or boxes or something so that most of him is visible.

He's more cheerful-looking than usual. And ... vibrating. He also gestures when he talks. ]

I wanted to get an Earth computer today, a proper one instead of just this communicator, actually I wanted to get a couple of different models so I could figure them all out but apparently I don't have enough credits? Or, wait, it's dollars, right?

[ shrug and rueful smile ]

Sooo since I think the guy in the lobby won't like it if I tried to take apart that computer, I mean, people get sensitive about that kinda thing even when you tell them you'll put it right back together, I gotta find another way to get one. Anyone have any old computers for cheaper than the stores?

...except I can't buy them off you yet because when I couldn't get a computer I decided, uh...

[ He picks up the communicator to swing it round and display a collection of cookie boxes, candy ... and several cans of each flavour of Mountain Dew, about half of them empty. THANKS, RAVAGE.

Off-screen: ] So ... yeah.

Look out, kids, but John McClane's been thinkin'. Probably too much, as you can tell by my bar tab lately. Blame it on not having Sally around anymore. Brace yourselves.

I'm opening this up to everybody on the imPort force to get a read on where we stand. Just talkin' here, nothing official, nothing I'm gonna hold anybody to, all right? No badges or ranks for this.

I'm sure we all heard it when the Porter bitch told us that we're not supposed to be her personal army, but we're supposed to step up to the plate here with this HIVE mess. I know we all hate that grinnin' bitch for yankin' us here and playin' around with our lives, but the party line's always been that we're here to help. The fact that most of us have ridiculous fuckin' super powers probably means we're supposed to help the whole country and not just this one town.

Yeah, we're all breakin' our backs tryin' to cover the cop needs in this town with the handful of us and the few thousand misfits and badge-sniffers we've got shoring up the native side of the force, but the whole city of Los Angeles just pretty much declared war on America, and that might go for the rest of California, too, who knows? There was a time I'd have been all in favor of wiping LA off the map, but times have changed.

So I'm throwin' this out there for us to talk about, because I sure as hell don't know which way to turn on it. Do you think we SHOULD marshal up every last one of us freaks, including the whole police force and every one of those super teams and maybe even some of the assholes in lockup, and just head out there and put an end to that fucking place before they figure out how to dupe the porter and start bringing in their own heavyweight motherfuckers to shit in our corn flakes? I mean, Jesus Christ, look at some of you guys and the fucking impossible shit you can do. Maybe all this jurisdictional shit doesn't need to apply right now.

Maybe the sooner we bring that asshole mayor and his giant pack of psychos down, the sooner we can all go home, huh?

Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm nuts. Tell me what you want. Whatever. I just figure this is something huge and everybody oughta weigh in on it, 'cause I'm sure as hell not the smartest guy in the room.

And by the way, in case you didn't know, my daughter Lucy's gone home. Another explanation for the bar tab.

[The following is stated in an incredibly calm voice, with little to no stutters, and rather professionally. WONDER GIRL INFOMERCIAL. ]

I know that we have the basics on our mind right now -- clean up, damage control, rebuilding, all of that. Preventative measures, too, since it doesn't seem to be over.

I will say it's unfortunate that Washington DC was hit, because of its already tense class issues and the deep-rooted problems that will only be worsened by these attacks and by increased authoritative presence and security.

Nearly 1 out of 5 residents in the District of Columbia live at or below the poverty level already. That number's only increasing. Now being bumped to the second highest poverty rate in any jurisdiction in the entire United States, the poverty rate already teeters at nearly 20%, and the nation's capitol possesses the highest child poverty rate in the nation. As of 2009, about 33% of its children live in poverty. Meanwhile, property rates and living costs go up, minimum wage goes down, you get the picture.

If you're in the area, I ask of you to take a lot of this into consideration. There's going to be a lot of panic, anger, and an increased presence of not only police, but outside enforcements -- a good portion of them, in the community, that seem to have white faces or come from groups that financially support them on a wider network or system -- will only serve to breed mistrust if there's a lack of understanding on our parts.

Interact with people on the streets in a friendly and forgiving manner. Don't bother with drugs right now, don't target poorer neighborhoods, don't make it worse for them.

If you have money, do what you can to help at least.

Contact the Department of Housing and Community Development at 1800 Martin Luther King, Jr. AVE. Number's 202-442-7200. See what you can do about donations for housing projects and send investigations into how they're developed and how the money is distributed for these neighborhoods.

Try donating to the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence, or the House of Ruth.


Donate here to the District's LGBT and Male Survivor-friendly Rape Crisis Center in the heart of the City.


Don't bother the people on the streets unless you're helping. Don't go looking for people breaking the law, and when you find it happening, use some discretion and understanding about where they come from and why they're doing what they're doing.

It's not your city, after all.

Keep up the good work, guys. After the initial scrambling, we'll all seem a lot more effective and helpful ... in our own judgment.

Over!

Can a bulletproof vest be repaired, and can someone teach me how to?

[And he's yelling. At first, the communicator fails to pick up on the words - it's nothing more than a loud, staticy mess of screamed syllables. The video is no better - it's spinning around, blurred, catching nothing more than a spiral blur. If you listen carefully, you might be able to discern such words as 'fuck' 'technology' 'humans' and 'angel bastard'.

The new arrival pauses to take a breath. Panting, gasping. The video finally focuses - on his leg. It's a very nice leg, though the jeans he's wearing are ripped and gross. The comm is flipped, catching a glimpse of the ceiling before it focuses properly on his face.

He does not look happy.]

Oh. [His red eyes narrow sharply. His visible fang digs into his lower lip, a growl rumbling from his throat.] About time you turned on, you fucking waste of space.

YOU! [He points at the screen - missing the camera completely, mind you, and glares.] LISTEN UP YOU BASTARDS! You've got the wrong fucking guy! I don't [A pause. The word is spit out like poison] save anyone. I'm not a damn Hero. I'd rather die than take that fucking title.

[The transmission begins quite suddenly with the sounds of static and silence being broadcast. Well, as much silence as can be expected from a city street corner. The sounds of the city manage to filter their way into the background for several long seconds before Matt finally speaks.  From the sound of it, he is not amused and quite obviously confused.]

Hi.  Hello.  Anyone mind telling me what the hell is going on here?  The brochure was, uh... less informative than I would have liked.  Anything you can tell me, I'd appreciate it.

For example, where exactly am I?

... You know, there's nothing like the potential for great disaster across the country to make you forget that you're now one year away from 30. And that that year started last week.

That's one way to put things into perspective.

...

The things that have been going on have justifiably put everyone, ImPort and Citizen alike, on edge. I want to take this time to urge everyone to remember that the people who were your friends yesterday should still be your friends today. In case you missed it, Wonder Girl made an informative and well-thought out post that shows how anyone, hero and civilian alike, can make a difference.

What's the feeling on the streets, boys? How close are we to riots, or are people still acting reasonably?

CXM 98.4 NEWS TALK STATION: May 16, 2010, on air, all the time

[fearthepress.livejournal.com]

America, it is time to WAKE UP. The City of Los Angeles is under military quarantine. Finally. I make it no secret to my loyal listeners that I think, if anything, this is an IMPROVEMENT to La-la-land, and hey I’m talkin’ before our country was invaded by extra-dimensional freaks, but nevertheless ACTION is finally being taken. Military action against a traitor to our beloved nation, ladies and gentlemen, that sonuvabitch—no I don’t care if I can’t say that on air—that SON of a BITCH traitor ought to be boiled alive in tar and then fed to Lindsey Lohan, someone get that girl a sandwich. If our administration had any spine at all, this would have been done last week but oooooh no.

[Pause. Sips water. Or maybe vodka.]

Those dodo birds on the Left won’t do anything about it, no. How do they fight? How to they protect their God-given rights? How do they protect YOUR children in YOUR country? Spend, spend, spend! Spend for bigger walls and shinier toys that do NOTHING. Hell, our government is looking into contracts with these—whaddya call ‘em—IMPORTS. Yes your hard-earned tax dollars are filling the pockets of illegal aliens. ImPorts! Open your piggy banks, America, because we are giving MONEY to the TERRORISTS. Forget the Healthcare Bill, forget the drowning DOW. This is illegal immigration, people! Illegal! Immigration! And it’s killing our nation. Killing our nation and killing your children, America. This is OBSCENE tragedy gone unheeded long enough.

Our so-called-esteemed President has met with two of them personally, ladies and gentlemen. Two men by the aliases of Iron Man and Iron Patriot. I swear to God, has anyone heard of a copyright? I jest, I jest, these are two fellas right up my ally, two men I could get behind. Hell, one is a flying American flag, wouldn’t you? But our “President” isn’t willing to discriminate between the PATRIOTS and the TERRORISTS that sneak around playing vigilante, only to get innocent people—yes, INNOCENT PEOPLE—killed. We are becoming slaves to fear in our own nation, America, it’s time to wake up. And we need people to ring the alarm.

This is Snap Daniel, reporting for duty. WAKE UP. I'll be taking calls for the next hour.

ooc || This hits the radio airwaves for all you crazy cats who catch that frequency. As per usual, if you're a news addict, you'll be familiar with the rants. Snap will be taking callers, but the point of call-ins is to make the host look good... So don't be offended if he passes you by.
