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~.

Good. I hate to think of people running around with knockoffs of these things.

[The actuators, though he doesn't really gesture to them.]
makeanentrance: (Awkward)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-17 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
At least it's better than some demented old man who thinks he's special because he has a suit that can fly.
doctopoda: (dropped a dude off a train)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-17 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't follow.

[Didn't have one of those back home!]
makeanentrance: (Very cautious)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-17 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know the Vulture? He was with your - our - original team up.
doctopoda: (distance)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-17 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The Vulture?

[Why are they all named like this?]

No, never heard of him. I was the only - [ugh] - villain active in my world. We'd had the Green Goblin a few years back, but he died well before I ever...got involved.
makeanentrance: (Dignity?)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know him too...

Vulture had a whole new group without us, last I saw. More vicious and dumb than our level of intellect. Easily fooled.
doctopoda: (skepticism)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-18 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

[He sort of doesn't care to get into a pissing contest with a group of villains he's never met, tbh]

Yes, it was only the Goblin and I so far, when I was still there. I met someone from the future of my world later on - a man made out of sand? But to hear him tell it, I was dead by the time all that happened.
makeanentrance: (Dignity?)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-18 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sandman. He was part of our original group too. Sure you haven't got a Mysterio around somewhere? Sounds like your world was at least somewhat like mine.
doctopoda: (brilliant but lazy)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-19 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you had yet to take off, too.

[He certainly couldn't vouch for whether or not a guy named Quentin Beck existed generally.]
makeanentrance: (Green swirl of smoke)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-19 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
If there are so few of you around, people I know... Yeah, I guess so. I'm probably there, waiting in the wings. Getting ready for my big entrance.
doctopoda: (fuck u norman)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-19 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[Well, don't say that, Otto may or may not have to fight him in that case!]

Maybe it's better if he doesn't. We don't seem to live very long, in my world.
makeanentrance: (No more)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-19 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Even this Beck would be side-eyeing film!Beck's plans. This one at least has more of a conscience and generally would try to avoid casualties.]

As I've mentioned, death is no real barrier... Whether we like it or not, if certain forces aren't done with us, then we have no choice but to go on.
doctopoda: (probably being a bitch)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
We haven't had anyone come back to life yet. Unless Norman would like to tell me something.

[Being taken from a point in the timeline when you were still alive and transplanted elsewhere is, obviously, not the same thing as actually dying and resurrecting!]
makeanentrance: (Please?)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-19 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you just aren't aware of it.
doctopoda: (osborn)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-19 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's always possible. Though I've never known the Goblin to be subtle.

[His personal experience with the guy is limited, but......dear lord have you seen him]
makeanentrance: (Green swirl of smoke)

[personal profile] makeanentrance 2022-09-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think any of us who are known as villains are subtle. Or even the heroes, for that matter.
doctopoda: (sarcasm)

[personal profile] doctopoda 2022-09-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose not, but we aren't all the Green Goblin either.

[look, he was in the city at the time, he remembers that whole fucking thing with the tram full of schoolkids]
