Physics "journalism" can be so frustrating sometimes. I don't understand why blogs feel the need to take something completely out of context and make a perfectly valid discovery into something it's not. I mean, even though we'd already gone above and beyond this theoretical application of entanglement where I come from, it's still interesting to see it being taken in this direction... and by someone who's not purposefully using the technology to bring a menagerie of aliens in and keep them in a MacGvyered shark tank.

Speaking of which. Hey, Shark Week. Guess who's been watching that?

This - this is crazy! Me n'Ruka were just eating breakfast, when all of a sudden, the blender and a bunch of the other appliances started tryin' to kill us! 

I was totally gonna deal with them myself. [Cough.] But, then, outta nowhere, the TOASTER starts fightin' 'em all off! He grabbed my spoon and started beatin' all the other robots off with it! Then he grabs one of the mugs and starts smackin' the other appliances with it! Anyway, our bowls got broken, and so did the waffle iron, so we had to have toast for breakfast. Just look, though!

[It switches to video briefly, and the kitchen has clarly been the sight of an epic battle, broken appliances all over the place. The camera stops on a toaster with arms that has what appears to be a wound from a waffle-iron closing on it. ...it gives a thumbs-up to the camera. Finally, it focuses on what looks like a shattered mug. The astute would be able to make out the letter 'D' and '#1' from the shards on the floor.]

...man, I can't believe he busted up the mug I got Mr. Remus for father's day...

[The feed starts showing what apparently used to be a neat kitchen in a MAC apartment. Used to be, past tense, because right now it looks as if a hurricane went through that room, which may be not that far from the truth. It's hard to miss an odd, brown-stained crater on one of the walls, as well as parts of... some electronic devices? Maybe so, but they're broken beyond recognition.

In the middle of this, there's Yuusei, kneeling and examining different parts in silence. Finally, he stands up and takes the comm in his hand.]

Has anyone seen a tall blue-haired man in a white jacket? His name is Bruno.

... If you've spotted him, please contact me immediately.

Well.

Who killed Starscream this time?

C'mon, fess up, it's not like it's an unusual place to find yourself in. You're just joining the ranks of a not-so-exclusive club, at this point. No vengeance, no anger, I just wanted to know what the smeg happened, please.

What the fuck?

He's only a man. I once walked right up to him and beat him half to death with a crowbar.

Is it his powers? Because he didn't use any the last time I found him and again, beat him half to death with a crowbar. What? What is it? What the fuck is it that time and time again he gets the better of people stronger, faster, smarter than he is? And vanishes into the fucking air?

It isn't him. It can't be him. It's us. This... this insanity that is the number of times people have saved his life. If I could get my hands on him I would still beat the shit out of that Bolton kid, and I'm not sorry, and I'm still saying it, Danny, and I mean it. Oh, but we're not all like him. You too hate the Joker, right? Maybe you even want him dead, although here that only means he'd come back. Maybe you even agree, secretly, with what I did, the surest way of making sure he stays put... barring fucking magic, that is.

Then why is he still free?

Us. It's us. It is a personal failure on the part of everyone who gives a damn that he is free. We are not civilians. We are not victims-in-waiting. We are a city of superheroes and we can't find him or when we do we fuck it up and it kills what little compassion I have inside for humanity.

When I had him, I didn't torture him — I used anesthesia when I cut off his limbs, even — but if I had I would have been completely justified in doing so. Admit it. There is no punishment sufficient for what he's done, and what he will do. Admit it, and move on. I want this city out for his blood. I want this city to give a damn, to redeem itself.

I want the Joker caught.

Well, we all want things.

I'm used to being disappointed.

[The video crackles to life showing a television, on its side on the floor, with what appears to be a broom handle shoved through the screen. There's bits of glass about, though most of it has been swept up into a small dustpan and brush. After several seconds, the phone is twisted about to show Annabeth, looking rather annoyed.]

Okay, first, somebody owes me a new television.

And second...What in Tartarus was that?

Hi, Network. I was wondering if anyone has a suitcase I could borrow for a few days. I promise to return it in one piece, and I will even bring you a souvenir for your trouble.

[Jan's voice sounds a little far away, like she has the comm set down and is a few inches away from it. She sounds like she's having some discomfort.]

I'm calling in sick to life today. Sorry to anyone who was expecting me to do something useful for them. Gone fishing, will be back in a day or two.

You need to get over to Bruce's place right now. I don't care if you're in the middle of banging Angelina Jolie, get here now.

Sooooooo, I need a little helping hand out there, radio land listeners. You see, the script calls for a good old mad scientist. And you know- HEY!!! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE DRIVIN' YOU JERK! THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST HOW YOU'RE DRIVIN'!

[Screaming and sobbing can be heard in the background.]

Annnyyyyyway, you know I'm as handy as the next mad genius with a bottle of bleach and some fluoride, but I'll be a simian's mother's brother if I don't need a technological whiz this time.

Soooooooodelayheehooooo-

BUDDY I WILL KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IF YOU DON'T USE A TURN SIGNAL THE NEXT TIME YOU MERGE LANES! Hahahahahaha. Never a cop around when you need one.

[More screaming.]

So, serious inquiries only apply and it pays up to seven figures depending on how well you can work your mojo. And I'll knooooow if one of you hero types are trying to pull the pudding over my eyes. And if you try? I'll blow up a maternity wing of a hospital.

Hello.

In light of recent events and my continually mistaken identity among the people of this city, I would like to stress for the record that I am not a robot.

My name is Peter. I am one of the X-Men. I grew up on a farm.

This armored skin is simply my mutant ability.

Do not be alarmed.

Please do not try to kill me.

Thank you.
