RUE MOORE HAS IT: APRIL EDITION

Hey Meta-Cuties, Rue here. And do I ever have it for you today.

Fantastic is once again our headliner! Love that for him. Despite the projected success of his latest flick and all the cold hard cash he's earned from being the reigning champ of Meta Mingle, it turns out that the windy wonder is more than a little stingy. Our favorite star racked up thousand dollar bill and refused to tip.

My source, who has requested anonymity, stated the following:

"Our restaurant is the hotspot for capes. I know some of them by name now. Last week, Fantastic and his entourage came in and I have never been treated so poorly in my life. They were loud, rude, messy, and super inappropriate. And I don't mean that as a pun. When it came time to pay, Fantastic handled the bill and left me a nice little note on the receipt:

2 cent tip

What an asshole!."

A little digging suggests that this happened at Flambabe's Eatery. But I didn't tell you that little secret.

I think somebody needs to teach this flyboy some manners before he crashes and burns... just like his love life. The on again off again couple are officially off again. Our favorite non-meta influencer, Katherine West, was posted a few hours after the ghost invasion saying that it was time to mingle with some real men. Ouch.

Moving right along, there are some new faces in the news...

Someone is apparently having the saddest 21st birthday ever. New meta Harry Osborne was seen shopping for a single-serving birthday cake, and trying to bargain a liquor store clerk into selling him a bottle of whiskey even though he has no ID.

And in breaking news, Mr. Osborn appears to be involved in some truly interesting extracurriculars.

[ the screen cuts away from rue to video footage. The footage shows one (1) Harry Osborn leaping out of a nearby tree to land dramatically on the cab of a semi truck. Sporting aviator shades and a leather trench coat, he proceeds to easily wrestle the driver out of his seat and toss him onto the road. And then, a clean getaway with the goods! ]

Maybe he's more a bad boy than a sad one.

We haven't heard back on just what Mr. Osborn was doing. Stay tuned for next month's broadcast for that deep dish and more, because it seems as though some new criminals are out to ruin everybody in Excelsior's day.

We've got news of several instances of fuel trucks being hijacked by a myriad of different actors, all at night or early morning hours. The large variation might suggest some sneaky new criminal organization organization is coming out to play. Why not? With all the new metas running around, some of them have to be here to disrupt the status quo. Our source also linked us this little tidbit...

[ Grainy 2 AM footage of some kind of fancy aircraft flying northward into the forest with an airlifted fuel tank. ]

If you've got any hot tips, we'd love to hear them.

Also new in the news, up and coming star Alina Starkov apparently has some strong feelings about how the world views metahumans.

Leaked comments from ourpowers show this new-on-the-scene meta claiming that she's been a target of anti-meta sentiments — includes quotes from here like "[some people] don't like metas just because we're metas. our power threatens them." and "i mean they send metas to a special school for a reason. it's not just to keep other people safe from us — we're targets."

Are your ears piqued, cape fans? A special school for metas? And who would dare to cause problems for everybody's new guiding light! We reached out for comment and Miss Alina's claws came right out. We love a girl who knows how to set boundaries! Shame the fans won't.

And while not a meta, there are rumblings about a new PI in town. A Mr. Bruce Wayne has opened a PI business. Mr. Wayne states that as an alternative to the police for problems they're having has been spreading if only by word of mouth.

My comparison isn't kind. Good people are trying to survive in a city suffocating under the threat of crime and corruption from the same people who are supposed to protect them. While they fatten their bellies on the wealth and spirit of this city, it's my job to finish what they haven't. If that sounds close to home for anyone, then call me.

Also, I've been having problems with my digital card reader? So I can only take cash right now. No, I can't break hundreds. And if anyone in any of the other cities need me, don't worry... I fly by night.


Inspiring words, Mr. Wayne! We can't wait to see what you do next.

Finally, a dark lich of the night has been attacking criminals at in Central City. For the first time in a long time, some of the most dangerous streets seem to have quieted down. Is this what our not so fair city needs to get back on the straight and narrow?

And with that, I gotta close off with another BATDAB.

[ she proceeds to do so. ]

Things are starting to get really interesting around here, aren't they? Keep those rumors coming, cuties. Until next time.

nepotis: (Harry TASM2 010)

[personal profile] nepotis 2022-04-09 01:35 am (UTC)(link)

I couldn't make it.
I'd slide off the hood of that truck like a wet pancake.

suuure

i get that you were having a bad day but maybe you should just return the truck and apologize
nepotis: (Harry TASM2 123)

[personal profile] nepotis 2022-04-09 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I don't HAVE the fucking TRUCK, okay?!
go look at the parking lot outside the Diadem, if you see a truck parked there, then fine, I'll return it
except you won't find one there because I DIDN'T FUCKING STEAL IT.
chashu: (thirteen)

[personal profile] chashu 2022-04-09 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
alright

if you REALLY didn't steal it then you should find the person who did to clear your name or else everyone is gonna keep thinking you did it


( do your best harry osborn, you sad old man! )

Stop screeching like a PMSing 14 year old about how it definitely wasn’t you.

I don’t care if it’s true or not, you’re not doing yourself any favors right now.

that's rich coming from your teenager looking ass

[ He's just lashing out because he's angry about 1) his dirty laundry being aired, and 2) being falsely accused of something he didn't do. He'll calm down eventually. ]

what do I do about this? I have no fucking idea who stole my face!
forasecond: (Actually)

[personal profile] forasecond 2022-04-09 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking, sure. Acting, not so much. You’re in your 20s, grow up, Harry.

You don’t yell on the internet, for starters. It makes you look more guilty, whether it’s the truth or not.

Second… we look into it. Boots to ground. Maybe someone with a shapeshifting ability took your face. Can you think of anyone that might have a grudge against you? One of your unsuspecting mugging victims, maybe?
nepotis: (Harry TASM2 111)

[personal profile] nepotis 2022-04-15 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, maybe? I haven't mugged any metas, though, that I'm aware of.

there might be some people with grudges against an alternate universe version of me, or of my dad. apparently my old man was some kind of supervillain in some worlds? I don't fucking know.
forasecond: (Default)

i thought i'd replied to this, RIP

[personal profile] forasecond 2022-04-27 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That you're aware of, but a shapeshifter? You wouldn't be able to know that.

Ah, that's a good point, maybe. It's a starting point, at least.

Yeah, but I thought the whole powers thing was normal??

it sucks but normal doesnt mean everybodys onboard

So like.

they love superheroes here but not that much?? How does that make sense.
resurrxion: (0000009 (2))

[personal profile] resurrxion 2022-04-11 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
i dunno about here but back home they get particular about what kind of superheroes they like
but even then some people hate all of them
like they blame them for life being like
shitty
even thoug htheyd be dead without them
exasperation: (035)

[personal profile] exasperation 2022-04-11 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
The ones I knew were all. Corporate sponsored or government endorsed.

But people loved them because they were everywhere and it seemed good to them.
resurrxion: (0000002 (2))

[personal profile] resurrxion 2022-04-11 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
yeah i kinda get that
back home people love the avengers but there are more people with powers than just them
if youre born with powers people expect you to do something with them
and a lot of the time they think youre gonna do something awful with them
it just comes from fear
