Okay, so, I've been trying to get a hold of Steph for a few days now and she's not answering her communicator. I'm not positive, but I think she's been ported out. Either way, someone should go check on her. Someone who isn't me, preferably.

Also, I haven't seen that Tim guy around since like... Christmas or something. I wonder what happened to him. The Porter must've got him, I guess. Such a shame, too. He was kind of hot.

[She sighs dramatically before her voice picks up again.]

They were both from Gotham, right? Weird. I wonder if they're happy to be back there. [She giggles.] But then again, from the way you guys talk about it, I bet nobody's happy to be back there. If everyone hates that place so much, maybe it's time to move out to the suburbs, or maybe to L.A.

At least it's sunny in L.A.

Anyways, I'm bored and I think Jason has the flu, so I'm gonna ask you a question! [She pauses thoughtfully for a moment.] Tell me about your hometown! That's a good one, right? I want to know all about it, all the silly little details, like where you hung out after school and what you'd do on the weekends. Stuff like that.

[ There's a clear expression of annoyance on Knock Out's face as the feed begins - while reading recent posts reassured him that he's not the only one who suddenly acquired an organic body and did a lot to improve his mood, he's obviously still very bothered by it.  ]

I think I can spare you the rant about how much I hate being stuck in a skin job, since you had one recently. And you seem to know enough about [ a pause. Really, humankind? ] giant transforming robots so I'll skip that too.

Name's Knock Out.

[She posts it directly and only to the network for several reasons. She doesn't want to be alone. People are more likely to know each other -- Carrie could probably keep better track of whoever moves in to Terry's (ported out twice) apartment, if she wanted to. And Nina needs someone who won't frown upon the fact that she's learning how to deal with her abilities like the natives have lately.]

Case File 010: Video

[alldeduction]

[Sherlock's in his flat again, City. Isn’t he snazzily dressed? He must be on a case, he looks so good. The arm’s still bound but it looks a little looser, and he’s wiggling his fingers a bit as he talks.]

Hello, City.

Anyone feeling particularly happy today?

[He smiles, raises his good hand. Apparently he’s been doing arts and crafts - there is glitter all over his finger tips.]

I always feel happiest when I’m working, don’t you? And work has been so good.

[He turns slightly, the camera angling just enough to see that John is sitting across the room.]

We’ve been busy. Three murders in eleven days. Well. I wasn’t allowed on the first one, but that hasn’t stopped me before.

Have you been following the news? No. Unlikely. How much does a city full of vigilantes care when a murderer is killed? Or when three are. And that’s the point, isn’t it. Vengeance.

[He pauses. There is definitely something strange to his behaviour. This isn’t gloating, City. This isn’t the end of a case. This isn’t him gently unraveling the mystery and laying it before your eyes. This is a warning. This is predatory. This is a test.]

I don’t make exceptions. Murder is murder and a case is a case.

But someone out there does. And someone out there works too fast. Tell me, City, In a realm of super powers, who knows when something is going to happen before it does?

[He leans in, tilting the camera down to the table, and then he draws a smiley face in glitter on the wood.

Just before the feed cuts out, you can hear him mutter:]

But really? Ether? Who even uses ether anymore?

[he disconnects.]

[ Cold’s voice is gruff. He’s tired, and talking to a bunch of strangers isn’t exactly appealing. But he's decided to let the Network know he was here - get a better picture of who's here and test the waters. ]

Just one thing after the other, ain’t it?

Guessin’ this isn’t a mirror universe, seein’ as how I’m still right-handed. Still - if you’re here, McCulloch, this better not be your fault. Any Rogues here, I need to hear from ‘em.

[ Pause. ]

I gotta say – the pamphlet’s a nice touch. Makes it simple. Don’t have to waste time figurin’ out what’s going on when it’s all laid out for you. So I’m not gonna waste your time with stupid questions.

Forget whatever this thing says my name is - call me Captain Cold.

eleven ✴ video

[bests]

[ gooooood afternoon, city!! today, you get a video of the corner of carol's room as seen from the floor. it's not very interesting, just carol in sweats, sitting at a desk covered in papers with model planes hanging above it from the ceiling. it's pretty obvious she's not the one who started this video.

that would be this little guy who walks into the frame after a moment and starts sniffing at the comm. he bites it once, and after determining that it doesn't taste good, he wanders over to carol, squeaking meowing the entire time.

he jumps up on her lap and she laughs quietly before putting him back on the floor. ] Luke, stop it. Mommy's trying to work.

[ and that's when she spots the comm. she scoops it up off the floor and gives it a small smile. ]

Sorry about that. Looks like someone's a little too curious for his own good. [ there's a little bit more meowing in the background and carol looks down at the cat before turning back to the video. ] I have to say, though, this is actually fairly good timing. Asking around about cat stuff is on my to-do list for today. Might as well ask the whole network.

So... Anybody out there feel like building me a kitty jungle gym so this little guy has something to do other than bother the dogs during the day? I'd buy one from the pet store, but the ones there cost a ridiculous amount of money for something that looks incredibly flimsy. I'd rather invest in something I know he won't be able to shred within a few days.

Hey, hey, hey! What's the big idea here, huh? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?

'Cause it sure ain't funny! I can barely stand talkin' to these idiot humans without makin myself sick, you can't possibly expect me to go around lookin' like on of 'em! This is cruel and unusual punishment, that's what this is!

Sheesh, what's a digimon gotta do around here just to look like his gorgeous self? Seems simple enough to me! You don't fix what ain't broken, capiche?
