RUE MOORE HAS IT: SEPTEMBER EDITION

Hel-lo, Metacuties~! Rue here. Did you miss me~?

So sorry about the unexpected hiatus! I was brought into another world during all that fuss last month - oh, darlings. I may just be a baseline human here, but I was living my best meta life in that world! You should have seen me, soaring through the skies~! [Rue sighs.] Ah, well. At least I know you’ve all been busy while I was gone.

[Here, Rue’s tone goes a little somber.]

I’ve heard about all the recent unrest in Excelsior. It’s sad to see such a friendly city turning on its own heroes and scientists. I know a lot has happened there, but I don’t blame any metas, no matter where they’re from, for what happened. As powerful as they are, they still can’t control everything, you know?

So don’t worry, everyone. I’m still your biggest fan - and your biggest gossip! So, let’s get to it, shall we?

[A musical sting - gossip time!]

Big news to start - a little birdie told me that Harry Osborn, classy modern man from Excelsior, doesn’t only have the brains to shine in business. He's also got the equipment to shine between the sheets! Reliable sources have commented on Harry's pet anaconda, if you catch my drift - yet this delightful bachelor remains single. Who out there could have the guts to tame this scaly beast?

It seems newcomer Billy Hargrove has also made quite the name for himself on social media, due to his huge success on OnlyStans. This retro-flavored bad boy is raking it in if his following count has anything to say, and rumour has it he’s branching out into exclusive video content and brand deals. Keep an eye out, cuties~!

On the romantic side, summer brought us such lovely warm weather that it has heated up the hearts of two handsome yet shy bachelors! Ripley and Eddie shared drinks during one of Little Love's many merry barbecues but there's a different kind of summer thirst they refuse to quench! Mayhap they need a little push in the right direction? Ripley should take a break from taking jobs and use his abilities to find the courage to ask Eddie out before his toothy guardian takes matters into his own gooey hands.

Finally, with the cutest meta I’ve ever seen - they say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but the Confluence is here to remind you that even metapets can turn your world upside down! A new category of furry black void has taken over cat lovers' hearts by the storm - Sleeper is here to prove anything your kitty can do, they can do better!

[Rue will put this picture on the screen.]

I'm not kitten you - if you need to have some pawsitivity in your life, please don't hesitate to start your day with the purrfect cat meme!

[You can just feel the puns.]

Now, let’s get back to what our newest stars are doing for the community! Don't you love the lack of smell of kaiju blood in the air? The city of Atlantis is slowly coming back to its former glory thanks to the organized effort of metas. Guild members and unaligned strays alike have worked together with civilian charity groups to help the Atlanteans and clean the waters, proving once again all you need to be a hero is goodwill and one free afternoon!

It's back-to-school season and the children of Sunset Falls are blossoming thanks to their magic training! That said, at this age, the youngsters do still need to get better control of their enthusiastic, yet wild sparkles. Fortunately for them, the pulchritudinous Lady Yennefer has a soft spot for kids and has provided them with guidance in order to make Sunset Falls a safer place for everyone. Stressed parents can now finally sleep eight hours without the bed disappearing right under their noses!

Even in Excelsior, our metas are doing their part for everyone! I’ve heard that up-and-coming hero Doctor Octopus was seen fighting a brand new nemesis, the dashingly mustachioed Walrus, during the blackout. Are these two star-crossed enemies going to be the hottest new thing in Excelsior? When reached for comment, Doctor Octopus just said, "My name is not Doctor Octopus." Methinks the dilf protests too much~.

That’s all for today, sweeties! Be good to each other - and if you hear anything juicy, be good to me~.

We can certainly discuss it.
I enjoy my job, but it's easy enough to commute here via teleporter. I might start doing that anyway.
We're unpopular enough without people seeing me walking in and out.


[Robotic prosthetics company. That employs Robot Tentacles Man. You know how it is.]
tinglesense: (spidey - talk)

[personal profile] tinglesense 2022-09-25 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
those are all also good points
teleporters are so cool tbh
makes it a lot easier to not have to live where you work
ill text peter about it
is doreen still chilling with us too? i dont want her to be left without anywhere to go obviously
doctopoda: (what was that)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, she's gone back to Central.

You know, for that matter, there's no reason we'd have to be in Guild housing if we did move.
It made more financial sense before, but the situation is different now.


[He hadn't had a secure civilian job when he initially moved to Excelsior, so Guild housing was just cheaper. Now, though, between his own work and his Alliance pay-out, he's got plenty of income. The potential safety of his two unaffliated roommates is more important.]
tinglesense: (spidey - :O)

You know how I feel about the Guilds. Just do whatever you think is right.

[Otto has never made much secret of his mistrust for both Guilds, but obviously he still found membership more practical himself. He doesn't judge others for making that same choice, whatever their reasoning.]

Yes, let's see if we can't have a house meeting about it.
