Let's kind of get organized.

[trop-rapide.livejournal.com]

So.

Took a run around the city. The police stations are empty and there are no cops anywhere.

My guess (and Blue Beetle's) is that we were brought here to actually replace that nonexistent police force. If anyone knows otherwise, say so.

Meanwhile, does anyone kind of agree with me and thinks we could maybe try to get organized? And by that I mean "if you want to organize stuff, do it because I have no aptitude for that."

That's about the size of it. A brilliant plan on the Tin Man's part, if I do say so myself.

I can organize. I'm good at organizing.

[scarabsuited]

Thank GOD I was worried I was going to have to do it and if my Public Speaking class is any indicator.....


I was hoping you'd ring in, M.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're just not good at getting along with people is all.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

You can count on me.

Not that I couldn't use your help, 'cause, well, I could. You know.

they're never going to be rp bffs, are they *sadface*

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, are we really gonna do this again?

Look. I firmly resolve to not piss you off too awfully bad until we get back to wherever we came from. And to be really nice to Billy. So can we not have a spat in front of all the nice people?

[scarabsuited]

It's totally mutual. Thanks, man. I can gather information like crazy, but that doesn't mean I can always get the big picture out of it.



Please don't kill me for the haircut thing

[scarabsuited]

Thhhhat's not gonna keep you from lending a hand..is it?


I mean--you don't HAVE to, nobody HAS to but...I mean...strength in numbers, right?

Hey, hey, hey- do I know you from somewhere? I'm usually good with hideously scarred faces . . .

HE's IN A BAD MOOD RIGHT NOW. NOT YOUR FAULT. WHEN HE COOLS OFF, HE'LL BE NICER.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not trying to have a spat, dude.

I'm just stating the obvious. Granted, okay, my team's leader was never really good with the people skills, but still. If you're going to be calling the shots, survey says you totally need a wingman.

Y HALLO THAR

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

You look like you're dead. I think I'd recognize you.

Unless you're one of those goddamn shinigami, in which case get OUT right now before I just - god.

Just don't be a shinigami.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Big picture I can definitely do. But feet on the street. You know.

What are you thinking? More recon?

Don't worry about it. And yeah, the goatee makes you look older, but also kind of like a hobo. Not that I can really talk.

DUDE MELLO TOTALLY CALLED HIM A FREAK. IT'S COOL. :D

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

. . . I'm assuming that means something other than cockblocker in this context.

Are you volunteering? You seem to go off pretty easy, too.

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

Uh... hey. Not all of us are really, how do I say this. Built for superhero stuff. Not to complain but we're not all superfast or bulletproof.

Maybe we should split up into groups. Part of us can try and get a handle on the city while a few of us snoop around here. Figure out why exactly Iron Man teleported us here, and how.

Also I think there's more to these dogtags than simply being identification and keys cards. If I had some tools I could probably figure them out.

[scarabsuited]

Totally. I don't think it'd be fair to the people of this city to just start calling the shots without knowing their side. We may have gotten stuck here without so much as a to-do list, but it doesn't mean we can kick down doors and demand answers like some video game...


So cops first, porter second. If we ARE here to replace the police like Speed suggested, then we should try to bring them back before we find a way out.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, dude, I was fairing a lot better in the making new friends department than you. I only start throwing my weight around when somebody gives me a reason to.

[scarabsuited]

You don't gotta get in on this if you don't want to, dude. I mean, I'm kinda hoping this can all be resolved before some psycho bad dude shows up and causes a mess.


Problem with that is, most of us have never actually met face-to-face. We should probably organize some kind of get-together first before we do any "Let's-Split-Up,-Gang!" stuff.


If you can get a hold of something in the city to help you figure that out, that'd be great. Just another thing to add on.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

Is it really necessary to have a contest about this? I asked you if you wanted to help. If you don't, say no. If you do, say yes. It's pretty simple.

Anyway. Then was then, now is now. You think maybe our heads might be in different places?

anti-registration, GO!

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Listen, I'm still not sure how I feel about this whole "bag 'em and tag 'em" approach to this place -- let alone what that means when it comes to trying to reorganize ourselves into groups or teams or hero squads or whatever.

It's easier maybe for guys like you and M that didn't have to go through this the last time Stark had a similar idea. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It's not that I don't want to help. It's just something underneath all that still just doesn't seem right.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

So . . . first, we take a survey. Maybe assign some people to hit different parts of town. Might have differences of opinion in different places, we'll want to make sure we know how everybody's thinking.

And we want the nice people to be doing this, the people who are not scary or threatening or easily angered. So I would suggest you and Hulkling, as a start.

If he's helping.

[scarabsuited]

I can't really say I know what good any of this'll do, either but...


I don't know what went down for you before, and everything went all loco, so I can't really say what's right or not. All I know is that this pretty much waters down to just finding a way for everyone to go home, and if that's enough to work with, then...


But you could be right. I mean, if watching too many movies about stuff like this is a sign...


I'm not trying to sound pushy or anything, so..I mean...it's cool if you don't wanna or anything..

[trop-rapide.livejournal.com]

You were right. You can organize.

The bright thing to do is clearly just to leave you to do this.

Talking to people is cool, by the way, but I know some people (yeah, me included) who won't participate much further than that. Sorry.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Dude. It's an expression. Not literal. What happened to your sense of humor? Or do you just not have one?

Honestly, for me and given my point of reference on things? It's not really as simple as yes I want to help or no I don't want to.

Not to be difficult on purpose.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I don't know how useful I'd be-- I mean, my power isn't even Class 50. Buuut, I'm a pretty good shot and I'm willing to help! Especially if it means I can get home.

[scarabsuited]

Wouldn't the first thing to do is actually see who's who? Face-to-face? I mean...everything sounds good on paper, but...it's only been like a day and a half and it's not like in school where you stand up and say your name and your favorite subject...


Besides, meeting up could help figure out..uh...if this'd actually work...Cause seriously? I just REALLY wanna get back without getting my butt kicked there...

[iknowyourfear.livejournal.com]

Is organizing your superpower?

If it is, I'm not exactly impressed.
