[ Video turns on. Don't worry, this will be brief, City. ]

In honor of the united effort that is being made to combine each of our respective manpower into an organized, collaborative effort, and as a follow-up to my words at last night's event, I wanted to announce that for the next two weeks, I personally am opening up Avengers membership to those who have wanted to dedicate themselves to helping the City and its people, but lacked the individual resources to do so.

Even those who may not be suited for the regular offensive (or defensive, as the case may be) conflicts that the team ordinarily handles may still wear the title of Honorary Avenger, because I, Norman Osborn -- and my team -- fully support and encourage every effort, even from those of you who make a difference on a smaller, or perhaps less noticeable scale. This doesn't even have to be a long-term commitment [ he pauses ] though it's not out of the question, if everyone is happy with the arrangements as they are; just an outreach to strengthen our own community in these unsettling times.

Thank you, and God bless.

Apologies for my absence; I'm sure we have much to still go over about your membership, don't we? Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Has Victoria given you a tour of the Tower?

[ ENCRYPTED to Dr. Horrible ]

Doctor. I hear you've expressed interest in becoming an Avenger, as well? I'm willing to offer you a chance, if that wasn't already made clear: though I'm curious about what skills you have beyond R&D.

[ ENCRYPTED to Invincible ]

I heard you had a concern. How may I address that?

(OOC: The responses from all interested parties regarding membership will be automatically encrypted; just procedure, of course.)

Indeed, it is always open. However, ordinarily, members are recruited by invite only.

That would be the difference then. I simply wanted to clarify that for my own curiosity.

I'm happy to clarify. I can see how it may not be clear.

... so everyone is really working together then?

That's the plan, anyway.

... I see. Hmm.

[Have a ten second long pause before...]

I look forward to working with you then.

[ Pause. ]</small Likewise, of course. Does that mean you're interested?

... I already have a team I'm a part of, Mr. Osborn.

Of course. My mistake.

... I'm a little surprised you didn't remember that.

It's not that I didn't remember it. But I've had interest expressed to me from people also in other teams; I wasn't certain what your intent was.

I see.

[LOL LONGER PAUSE. SHE'S SO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS.]

... I somewhat miss the way it was back in the world I came from. The Titans had members that were also members of other teams.

Is that right?

Mmn. I know it's not a very common practice here, though.

Doesn't seem to be, no. But that doesn't mean I discourage it.

... it... would be something I'd be particularly interested in, perhaps.

[ Smiling. ]

You're more than welcome, Raven. We're happy to have you.

... Oh! That's wonderful, then. I'm honored.

The more cooperation, the better. I think lack of communication has been a large factor in why our City is so disorganized.

[ Pauses. ]

I hope you've been well.

I've actually been against the entire rivalry feeling myself. I'm glad everyone is able to come together for this.

I've been fantastic, actually, thank you. And yourself?

Fantastic? That's good to hear. I'm doing rather well myself. Busy, as usual. But that's nothing new.

You always are, yes. [She laughs a bit.]

Is there anything you'll need me to do right away, in regard to all this?

Right away? Doubtful. But I'll keep you informed, certainly. One never knows how soon a situation can change.

I'll keep myself alert, then. Thank you again, Mr. Osborn.

Thank you.
