New York Harbor New York Harbor is bustling with activity. A major city, it has a lot of sea-faring traffic coming in and out through the Harbor. The city tries to keep the harbor clean, but often fails in the attempt. The warehouses can be seen lining the piers in this portion of town, and it's obvious that this isn't the best area of town to be around. Contents: Jack Knight(#482PXJnc) Donna Troy(#248PXJnc) Obvious exits: Titan's Headquarters Lower East Sdie Ocean Sandy Hawkins(#621PXJwfnc) Reasonably tall, but nonthreatening at first and second glances, this young blond man with touseled curls has an easygoing demeanor about him. His - Sand's - eyes are a bright cornflower blue, guarded yet friendly; his nose is straight and his clean-shaven jaw a bit pointed. The man's build is that of an adventurer, with powerful shoulders tapering down to a fit waist and stomach; for those that look more than twice, you can see that for all his apparent relaxation, he's extremely alert and aware of his surroundings. Sanderson's wearing a plain, standard navy blue heavy cotton suit and a black tie. The suit jacket is unbuttoned, exposing a spotless button-down shirt and loose black tie; his oxford collar is ironed straight, but also loose - it looks like the top button isn't even there. If he turns suddenly, you can see a leather gun harness under his jacket. On his feet are worn black dress shoes. Strangely, he looks uncommonly pale and his eyes appear a little greyish where they should be white. His hands look odd, too, with the ends of his fingers turning a little bluish. In the center of his chest are several dark spots that look like dried blood, and they ring holes in his shirt. At the corner of his mouth is a small red trickle. [Sandy Hawkins looked at you.] It's almost as if he didn't have a care in the world, the way Jack Knight's shoulders rest easily along his sides, cool as can be. The black leather of his coat sweeps gently over those shoulders, open in the front to reveal an equally black t-shirt which bears a perplexing insignia of a star. Jack Knight's jet black hair is greased back from his pale skin, and held against his forehead by a pair of authentic war goggles, the green lenses still shining brightly amidst the plastic. The man stands lazily, his lithe frame buried beneath the leather jacket and dusty jeans, torn slightly at the right knee. A sly grin crosses his face, as the golden staff glows quietly by his side. I don't see that here. The woman before you appears to be in her mid-twenties with a slender figure that is well toned from regular exercise and keeping in shape. She has long, ebony hair that flows over her shoulders in obsidian waves and frames an attractive oval countenance in silken strands. Her features are classical Grecian in appearance with high cheekbones that seem to proclaim a Mediterranean heritage. Her eyes are a shade of sapphire that make a striking contrast to her dark hair and fair complexion. She is currently wearing a pair of blue jeans that hang just off her hips and hug her trim waistline. Her shirt is a basic white with short sleeves and loosely conforms to her torso but is cut just so her abdominal region peaks through on display. On the front of it is a golden eagle design with its wings outstretched as if in mid-flight. On her left wrist is a slender sport's watch and on her feet are a pair of black and white Nike running shoes. Donna Troy goes IC. [TMS] Mortis says, "What would you use it for?" [TMS] Robin says, "Aquaman available. Must resist." [TMS] Mortis says, "SB beat you to it." [TMS] Robin says, "Whew!" The destruction and carnage are more than disturbing - they're more than grisly and nauseating - they're frightening. Bodies of men and monsters, women and water-things, children and creatures lie everywhere, among debris and disembodied limbs. The only people up and moving are increasingly disheartened rescue workers, detectives, and city officials - along with press people and your occasional vigilante. People wondered why more heroes didn't show up, but when they're told how easily the King of Atlantis was felled they stop their grumbling and are glad they didn't lose more of their champions. Someone who doesn't appear concerned in the slightest is the golden-haired man sitting on the edge of the docks, dangling his feet above the water and occasionally tossing rocks in. It's a pose Donna will have seen him in more than once, but not likely Jack - Jack usually sees him either psycho and getting ready to go out and fight phantoms or lazing about on the couch with a bottle of Jameson's. 'Cause - yeah. It's Mr. Sandy Hawkins. Booster Gold pages: ack, did it start? [TMS] Robin says, "That's assuming I don't write an app anyway and cause a showdown Oooo-ooo-eee-ooo-oooo! ;)" [TMS] Mortis says, "Ooooh. ;)" You paged Booster Gold with 'Nope. ;) This is just a background Titans scene.'. [TMS] Robin says, "Who else did we lose?" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "But you have no -time-!" [TMS] Superstud: War says, "Go for it." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Vic Sage again..." [TMS] Robin says, "D'oh" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Slade Wilson." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Currently Taken Characters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arrowette Artemis Batman Black Canary Blue Devil Booster Gold Carol Ferris Catwoman Dolphin Donna Troy Flash Green Arrow II Green Lantern Hawkgirl Human Target Huntress Impulse Jade Jay Garrick Jesse Quick John Constantine Joker Lobo Lois Lane Nightwing Oliver Queen Oracle Orion Parallax Ra's Al Ghul Rene Montoya Resurrection Man Riddler Robin Sand Secret Serling Roquette Silver Monkey Starfire Starman Superboy Superman Talia Al Ghul The Atom Triumph Wonder Girl Zatanna ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Clayface."

[TMS] Robin says, "er Rocket" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "That's what the psycho Dabney Donovan calls her. At Cadmus. :)" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins reads too much Superboy! [TMS] Robin says, "Cadmus needs to be terminated wthout prejudice." War pages: Funny thing is, if he did go for it, he'd likely get Aquaman. :p % Activity in world scion [TMS] Superstud: War says, "Like I said, Sandy, good thing one of us does." "Wow...you gotta be proud of these folks, risking life and limb to make sure that everyone makes it through this. And to think they're doing it without the help of powers. Man, that takes major cahones." Jack says, using the power of the cosmic rod to survey the scene below. He looks toward Donna, wondering how it is that the first chance they've gotten to go out on the town was to witness this death and carnage. "Y'know, it really disturbs me that we can't find hide nor hair of my lazy-ass roommate either." You paged War with 'Possibly. Preacher's got the final say and he knows Rob's not too active.'. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins grins at War, then pokes Robin. "The Habitat is part of Cadmus." [TMS] Robin says, "You mean 'was' :)" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Whaddya mean, was? We're still on their ground." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Grounds." [TMS] Robin says, "Do you see them bothering us? Fimnders keepers." War pages: - -=- -=-=- -=-=-=- [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "What do you have against Cadmus, anyway? :)" You paged War with 'Christmas tree? :>'. War pages: A Christmas tree. [TMS] Superstud: War squishes Robin's head. [TMS] Robin says, "Nothing really." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "When can we do TMS vs. TMS? :)" [TMS] Robin says, "As soon as it isn't 'Robin abds Arrowette vs the three Horseman'" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "It'd probably be Robin and Cassie against War and Pestilence." [TMS] Mortis says, "I give 'em 20 seconds. ;)" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Unless Death over there suddenly gets untired..." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Or Cissie decides she's not tired either..." [TMS] Mortis says, "If I get untired, that takes it down to 10 seconds." [TMS] Robin says, "I see no Cassie." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins snrks. :> [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "No, but she said she'd be on later tonight." [TMS] Superstud: War says, "I can get Secret..." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins eyes War. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "No offense, but...:)" [TMS] Superstud: War isn't staying up all night. Again. 9 Pacific is 1am here. -- Players -- Robin Sandy Hawkins(#621PXJwfnc) Mortis War(#743PXJUc) -- Objects -- -- TMS -- [TMS] Robin says, "And seeing as I don't want to be dead, what exactly are the three/four of s supposed to do against your humungo-powered selves? War here whipped JLAers and Outsiders by his bad self." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins would rather have Cissie than Suzie, even. ;P [TMS] Sandy Hawkins yeahs, but who says we'd kill yas? [TMS] Mortis lifts a hand. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Pesti's definitely into the mindfuck side of things." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins whaps Death. [TMS] Mortis says, "What? It's my JOB. ;)" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Yeah, -and-? :)" [TMS] Superstud: War is out to destroy property. If people get in the way... [TMS] Robin is serious. [TMS] Mortis says, "The man has a point. We've whupped the asses of Superman and Orion, even." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins is out to spread bugs and diseases. And also scare the shit out of superheroes! [TMS] Sandy Hawkins wells, maybe I'll go bother TMS by my lonesome, then. You'll have to get the exterminators out there afterwards. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Bart I mean." Donna Troy nods from Jack's side and sighs softly,"I still don't quite understand what's going on. After that whole fiasco with Bart in Florida, and then I heard what went on in France and Batman...and Aquaman," her jaw tightens a bit as she doesn't even want to think about it. Or the fact that right now Wally is still recovering in the Watchtower. "Has Sandy been miss -- " But then she stops, looking down at the dock and a smile of relief breaks over her face as for a moment, just a moment, she was beginning to suspect the worst with all the mayhem that had struck. "Look -- there!" She points just below to the familiar blonde top on the deck and smiles, changing her course to come to a landing spot only a few feet from the contented (though usually surly) Sanderson. "Thank Rhea, you're safe Sandy. You nearly had Jack and I worried sick," she admonishes lightly, but at least its good to see the man. [TMS] Superstud: War just thought that team could actually do something together. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins nods...but when like half the team is evil, I dunno. :/ I dunno. Turning slowly, Sandy offers Donna and Jack an amused smile. "Depends on your definition of 'safe', Donna. On the one hand, no, I'm not. On the other hand, I'm probably the safest guy on the planet." He gets to his feet, moving with a marked stiffness, and tosses the rest of the rocks in the water then brushes his hands off on his pants. That's when you see him properly - his eyes, the holes in his chest, his fingers, his pallor. With a curious look, he inclines his head. "Why weren't the Titans here last night? I was hoping for more of a showing than some New God, the outsiders, and this guy who wouldn't stay dead." He pauses. "Oh, and Orin. Heh." [Titans] Exquisite Dead Guy Sandy Hawkins is evil! :) [TMS] Robin says, "Who's actuallt RPing in the Harbor?" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "All three of us. We're on the docks." [TMS] Mortis says, "Let me know if you need a rescue at any point, Sandy." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins will let you know - but probably won't. ;) They can't follow me far. [TMS] Robin says, "Set your IC flags, silly geese :)" You already are set IC. [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Is someone not set IC?" [Titans] War has joined this channel. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "Who's not set IC? I am. Don't wanna spam my log with the +where." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins ohs, meant to ask that +ooc. [TMS] Superstud: War says, "Jack isn't." [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Jaaaack, +ic! :)" [TMS] Mortis will now spend an exciting Saturday night doing... laundry! [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "@whee!" Jack Knight goes IC. [OOC] Jack Knight says, "dangit" [TMS] Superstud: War should do that, too, now that you mention it... [TMS] Robin says, "I am right there with you, Dol." [TMS] Robin says, "I resoted to taking my laundry home for thanksgiving." [TMS] Sandy Hawkins left all his laundry in his dorm room. [TMS] Superstud: War only has one shirt left. [TMS] Superstud: War once bought three pairs of socks just so he wouldn't need to do laundry one night... [TMS] Robin has been there. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins has, too. That's pretty damn pathetic, also. :) [TMS] Robin says, "Whwn I buy a machine, you are invited to the 'screw you laundromat' party" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins cheers! Rock on. ;) [TMS] Sandy Hawkins blinks, finding the one and only JLTF RP log ever. [TMS] Robin says, "I was supposed to have one by Halloween, but that fell through." Jack Knight blinks at the mention of Orin, after moment's reflection on who the heck Sandy is talking about, but recognition hits him eventually. "You were involved in that? Is that how you got roughed up, or is this cuz you weren't on the guest list at Chez Chic again?" Jack says, trying to keep his tone level as he lowers himself to the docks and looks at Sandy. "Man, that's gotta smart. Need me to run down to the corner mart and get something to take off the edge?" [TMS] Mortis's next apartment will have washer/dryer/dishwasher. I vow this. [TMS] Superstud: War offers people Gobstoppers. [TMS] Mortis munches one. Then looks for her keys so she can get into the laundry room. Huh? (Type "help" for help.) [TMS] Sandy Hawkins laughs at this log. "Jeez..." % Resuming TinyFugue. Donna Troy just blinks. What in all the heavens is going on here? Dark sapphire eyes just stare transfixed as she gets a better view of Sandy. And its like watching the sun set over the horizon as the realization traces its way across her countenance. "We -- I mean, Wally...he was -- " He was nearly killed. Bart's on a rampage, and Sandy -- well, Sandy looks like he has seen better days. Donna takes a single step backwards, its more instinctual than anything else. Orin? Did he just talk about the death of Aquaman...and laugh? She frowns in disbelief. Then her eyes go to the hole in his chest and seem mesmorized there. "No...." "No, it's all right, I don't feel any of it," answers Sandy cheerfully. "And yeah, Booster Gold shot me a couple of times. It was really annoying - I mean, what the hell are you supposed to do with someone wearing a forcefield shoots you? You can't exactly shoot 'em back with any kind of effect...Dol got him off me, though." The _very_ former Golden Ager shakes his head, a rueful expression on his face, and casually draws a pistol, aiming it at Jack, and draws the trigger. It clicks a couple times, and he nods. "Thought I was out. Damn..." Sandy starts patting his pockets, looking for another clip, then glances up at Donna. "What happened to Wally?" [OOC] Jack Knight says, "yer trying to shoot me?" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "No, I knew it was empty. You might not have, though. ;)" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins is definitely trying to fuck with your head, since you don't seem to know I'm dead yet. [TMS] Robin has disconnected. To (Donna Troy, Sandy Hawkins, Jack Knight), Mortis pages: Mind if I watch? :) Bored. Long distance to (Mortis, Donna Troy, Jack Knight): Sandy Hawkins doesn't mind. ;) [TMS] Superstud: War cackles softly as Orion logs on. To (Mortis, Donna Troy, Sandy Hawkins), Jack Knight pages: bring it on Mortis comes from the ocean. Mortis has arrived. [TMS] Mortis entertains herself by watching Harbor RP. [TMS] Sandy Hawkins yeep at War. From afar, to (Mortis, Sandy Hawkins, Jack Knight): Donna Troy is cool with it ;) [TMS] Superstud: War says, "Yeep?" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins nods. Orion! [TMS] Superstud: War says, "What about him?" [TMS] Sandy Hawkins says, "He logged on, you cackled, I yeeped." Jack Knight hovers back up into the sky, suddenly unsure of what's going on. Hell, maybe he's just been out of the loop for too long. "Hey now, that ain't cool. No reason to pull the caliber on me, buddy. I ain't into the whole matching tattoos thing, if you catch my drift." [TMS] Superstud: War says, "You're weird." [TMS] Superstud: War eats more Gobstoppers. [OOC] Jack Knight hasta jet.... [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Dammit! :)" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Can you stay one more round?" [OOC] Jack Knight supposes so [OOC] Jack Knight says, "if it's quick" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins yays! And nods. Donna, then me and I'll go fast definitely, and then one more pose outta you. You can fly away. I just want you to grok that I'm a zombie. ;) [OOC] Jack Knight says, "oh, okie" Donna Troy jumps almost instinctively, positioning herself closer to Jack and more so between the man and Sandy without really thinking about it. "Have you lost your -- " She doesn't finish the sentence, she can pretty much guess the answer. She swallows hard, still staring at Sandy. "He was hurt by someone I believe you're more than familiar with...Pestilence." [OOC] Donna Troy figures she wouldn't spend all day posing since Jackie's in a hurry,"Let Sandy do his worst." ;) [OOC] Jack Knight smiles The fair-haired zombie hmms? then ohs to Donna, half-disinterested. He shoves the clip he finds into his gun, and reholsters it, then stuffs his hands in his pockets and looks pleasantly at his two teammates. "Actually, I haven't seen him yet - it's that kid Impulse, from Dol's team, right? I've been down there," he says, pointing into the water, "mostly." Suddenly he frowns, bringing a hand up to his chest and patting slightly - oh, shit. There's a bullet hole right over his heart. Sandy looks utterly stricken for a second, as he claps the hand over the hole. "Oh my God, my heart's not beating!" A beat. "Oh, heh. I forgot, I'm dead," he grins. Recognition finally kicks in, and Jack is almost ready to swear a blue streak if someone calls him blond. Lowering the goggles over his eyes, he utilizes the light intensification to view Sandy's wounds. "Jesus, man. Why the hell did you have to go out and do that? Being shot at is one thing, but getting killed is another. I mean, now I gotta wonder if this is going to void our lease. Not like I own the place or anything, but damn. Anyway, where's the mook that did this to ya, and how likely is it that Donna and I can take care of him?" Jack says, then the name Pestilence sets in and he streaks into the sky, shouting back. "Be right back folks, I'm off to find some kid hopped up on speedforce. Don't be surprised if I shave him bald, though." [Horsemen] Sandy Hawkins complains. "Booster shot me up a lot." [Horsemen] War patpats. [OOC] Sandy Hawkins giggles. [OOC] Jack Knight says, "that work for ya? :)" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Oh man, you're confused. ;) But sure!" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "You're even more confused than Bart is!" [OOC] Mortis ROTFL [Horsemen] Mortis says, "It's ok, baby, I still love you." [OOC] Jack Knight smiles...gotta jet for real now. friends are getting pissed :) see y'all later. :) [OOC] Sandy Hawkins hugs! [OOC] Jack Knight hugs and poofs. Jack Knight has disconnected. [Titans] Jack Knight has disconnected. [Horsemen] War says, "Yeah, he is a baby, ain't he?" [Horsemen] Sandy Hawkins yeahs, but wonders how he's gonna heal when this is all over. :> [Horsemen] Sandy Hawkins bahs at War. :> [OOC] Donna Troy smiles. "Are we adjourned here, Sanderson?" [OOC] Sandy Hawkins says, "Aww. Only if you have to leave now. Otherwise I want one more pose outta you, and I got one more pose." [OOC] Donna Troy smiles and nods. ---- World scion ---- [Scions] Marcus kicks everyone [Scions] Paris shakes Marcus' bare hand. Cat waves then heys at Marcus? "What was that for?" Marcus says "Oh..I just wanted to see who was awake. What's up? :)" [Scions] Marcus meeps Cat mms, "Watching TV, pondering more thanksgiving leftovers..." Cat says "Hey are you going to be here tomorrow night afterall?" Marcus says "I"ll be here but it's going to be late." Marcus has to work on sundays and so he won't be able to arrive until after 10EST Marcus says "If GM wanted top emit me until I arrived I wouldn't have a problem with it" Marcus says "to emit me even :)" Cat says "Aaah" Marcus says "Hmm" Marcus says "I'm here now. If anyone wants to RP any 'back scenes' I"m game :)" Cat doesn't have any to RP yet. Marcus says "It's okay. You can RP anything aside from the scenes. It's possible, for example, that you could have had an encounter or something with someone prior to the mall scene. It'd also give you something. :)" Cat thinks you're all freaks ;) Marcus sniffles Paris isn't a freak. He's smart. He's leaving rather than engaging the ... whatever that thing is. Cat laughs. Cat says "Well the others are all freaks and weirdos" Paris says "In fact, running will be my main form of attack." Paris says "Meant to confuse and disorientate." Cat grins. Cat says "Not a bad way to deal with it." Paris says "I could try to touch it, but that would be stupid." Cat has disconnected. Marcus stretches Marcus has disconnected. Paris has disconnected. ---- World ZH ---- Donna Troy looks between the Sandman and then Jack, and then from the streaking off Jack to Sandman. This is...this is just unreal. She opens her mouth, but then just swallows. What in all of Hades is going on here. This isn't making sense, nothing is it should be, its as if the entire world has simply gone mad. At the display of Sandy, clutching his heart, she feels a wave of nausea threaten. She wants to tear her sapphire gaze away from it, but its either morbid fascination or disbelief that will not allow her to do so for several moment. At last, she looks up into the eyes of the man before her. "You can't be dead...that's...you can't be...." She half whispers. Sandy Hawkins raises his eyebrows. "Impossible? Not at the end of the world, hon," he says apologetically. Straightening his tie and shrugging his jacket on a little better, Sandy composes himself. He buttons the suitjacket, hiding some of the bulletholes, and wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You might want to catch Jack if he doesn't want to end up like Wally," he notes matter-of-factly, then looks a bit nonplussed. "And besides, it was Booster Gold that shot me up. I was already dead, though. Listen, I've gotta go. I'll seeya later, a'ight?" He falters a second - "Please don't tell Wes, okay?" - then steps forward and gives her a brother-in-law-style peck on the cheek. It's extremely cold and clammy. This done, he dives into the water and doesn't resurface. [OOC] Donna Troy says, "Ewww...that's just creepy." [OOC] Sandy Hawkins does his level best. ;) 7 [OOC] Sandy Hawkins Sets the log going again in case you're posing. :> [OOC] Donna Troy grins and awws. "Aren't you guys twisted." [OOC] Donna Troy says, "Nah, I'm fine. That's a good note to end on."
