Notes: This is posted by Tim, but it's from Jason Todd's Heron account.


[ There are several attachments to the post.

The first is a video, showing the door to the maintenance area of Arcadia opening, with a muttered "Jesus, J--Heron" and a returned "Shut up" audible behind the camera. The camera feed continues into the "maintenance" area before following a staircase that leads downwards.

At the bottom, the stairs open into a wide, open arena. A center platform looks like it's meant to hold approximately one hundred people, and there appear to be places where their feet could be bound to the ground.

The video cuts off there, but there are numerous close up pictures of the arena attached, too; close ups of where the foot bindings are, pictures of the ceiling above, an image of a blue light towards the walls shoving plenty evidence of blood.

There's another image of what had been a locked box, but was pried open. Inside, there are numerous power inhibitors.

The post itself is a series of texts in an odd font, which was deliberately chosen to stand out from most feeds as a copy paste.

biometric scans keep everyone except for a few guards from getting into this area
couldn't tell you what kind of weird cult shit is going on down here, but it's been used recently
i can smell the bleach


There's list of names of the guards who do have clearance, as well as their basic shift schedules.

the symbols around the housing area are all carved out of real gold

[ That text links to few images of those, too: a lot of light and sun imagery carved into the bottom of Arcadia's structure in gold. In addition to the images, is a map of Arcadia itself marking where all of those marks have been found, as well as areas marked off where the "authorized personnel only" and "maintenance, do not enter" doors are. ]

these guys hate the willow maiden, call them "sleepy cultists"
they call the thing they're following a "god", a "blessing of healing". think they're "awake and empowered by the waking world", unlike the other cult which is full of "dreamers"
looked into them, the willow maiden believes in free will
guessing these guys don't

It’s been 21 days since Fantastic was elected. How are we doing, fam?

I’ve been having some strange urges. I want to overengineer a possum obstacle course. I want to buy every chapstick flavor and mix them into the Überchap. I want to post daily hot take videos with no shirt on and the camera carefully angled to avoid reports and bask in the clavicle clout.

What has the Guardian Alliance been doing for the current state of affairs? Phrasing, everyone. We want to avoid a marsupial infestation. We’re already beset with bad highlights.

What happened to initiate Atomight’s removal from the guild? Was there a no-confidence vote? Are there minutes or vote tallies anywhere?

There are users here. Let’s ask the questions even if no one has the answers yet.

( just a little while after an anonymous post, a video gets posted to ourpowers:

there's an old warehouse burning in frame and on it, spraypainted in yellow outlined in red, it says
DIE IN A DITCH FUCKTASTIC.

the man holding the phone switches the camera from the rear facing one to front facing, and turns himself around so his back is to the fire, grin all teeth below the domino mask covering his eyes. he raises a gloved hand up, index and middle finger up into a peace sign. )


Deuces, ya'll.

( anyone in central might have felt the explosives go off just before the video feed went up, and some may recognize the specific building that's been targeted. )

What a terrible idea to elect the superhero equivalent of that animal cruelty commercial to a position of power. You know the one - it only comes on when you’re alone and uses every cheap trick to make you identify with it. It’s - what’s the word?

Cloying?

Fake?

Stupid. That’s the one. There’s a reason why Atomight, Mechanima, and Frances Starling won’t comment on this. He’s beneath them.

Why doesn’t anyone ever say it? Go anon and say it here.

Display Name: MECHANIMA
Notes: Mechanima will be watching responses, but will not be responding to every message. He may chime in on occasion. This is meant to be more of a collaboration post for player characters to figure out what they would like to do in order to resolve this! While posted to Ourpowers, links and screenshots to this post will be spread across social media through various sources. It's not often Mechanima makes an announcement these days, especially one like this.

Greetings.

As I'm sure most residents of Central City have realized, we're currently handling an illness that is passing from individual to individual. This isn't something the Society would dip their fingers into during normal circumstances, but we're working under the assumption this may or may not have been unintentionally caused by one of ours.


[ The... parasites, for lack of better word, do not fall under the Society's umbrella. But given that they are certainly not quite human are spreading through the city like wildfire, Mechanima has opted to listen to Dylan Brock's suggestion and is aiming to quell the spread before it gets out of control. No need for this to put them all under an uncomfortable light. ]

We've set up quarantine zones through Central City: Centennial High School's old facility towards the North, an old lair to the West, Broadmoor Hospital to the East, and the second floor of the Society of Villainous Reformation's building for all others. We have our own research teams working to discover a cure, and are asking for assistance from any metahumans capable of discerning biological differences between beings, as well as biologists who can lend a hand. You will be compensated for your assistance.

Do not enter Central City. If you are within Central City, do not fight quarantine efforts. Do not leave the city if you are already within it. We have associates posted at every road, airport, and train station to prevent movement. Teleporters being tracked. We are watching for metahumans with quicktravel abilities.

Consider this a hostile takeover of Central City by yours truly.

Display Name: Richard Grayson
Profile Photo: Basically the above icon
Notes: Absolutely brand new account

[The video opens on a handsome young man, with slightly olive skin, messy black hair and blue eyes. Not that there aren't plenty of those around right now. He's outside with the sounds of children playing off to the side and birds in the trees. The Diadem Hotel can be seen in the distance, but it looks like he's in some kind of park.]

Man, what is it with these things and not liking certain nicknames? Nobody ever calls me Richard, but no. Can't use Dick. Somebody might think I take myself seriously.

[The grin has just the right amount of self-depreciation, but the eyes never lose their amusement in the least.]

Anyway, yeah. I'm Dick Grayson. I'm from Gotham back home, not that that's likely to mean much to most folks here, but I've been living in Blüdhaven for the past couple of years. Again, not that that's going to mean much to anybody. But, I came in with the last confluence and have been trying to take all of this in. [He huffs out a laugh and shakes his head.] This whole 'hero' thing is really pretty weird. I'm not a hero. I'm just a guy who showed up here with his dog!

[There's the sound of a bark at his side and Dick's grin widens, glancing down beside him.] Speaking of dogs. You want to meet everybody, Haley?

[The camera shakes a bit as he repositions the phone to show off a small, grey puppy with white socks and belly, though missing one leg.] Everybody, this is Haley. Haley, this is everybody.

[Haley may or may not be impressed, but she leans forward, sniffing at the phone. And the camera. So everybody gets a good look at puppy nose and hears the puppy snuffles.]

Notes: During the age swap event

[ There’s a spikey-haired child who has clearly already discovered Dep Gel. He’s sitting in a front of a grungy brick wall with badly chipping paint that shows the strata of different paint layers. Looks like an alley, with a thin line of corrugated metal just visible behind the boy.

Clever eyes would recognize that he’s sitting on the closed lid of a dumpster. It doesn’t look like a place for a boy of somewhere between 8 and a very small 10.
]

My name’s Tim Drake, and I’m in Central City. I’m not supposed to be.

I hope I’ve gotten this working. I guess it’s supposed to be mine? The account has my name, but that’s not right. You aren’t supposed to use real information on social media, especially when you’re a kid, because it can lead to abductions.

[ Tim glances around, like he’s expecting someone to come bursting in now that he’s said that outloud. ]

And I think I’ve been abducted?

[ He picks at t-shirt and leather jacket that he’s absolutely swimming in. ]

They changed my clothes.

[ Frowning, he looks confused at that, and as if he’s run out of things to say here. ]

You’re not supposed to give personal details online. I did, but I think the rules are different when you’ve been kidnapped? I’m not going to say my parents names or address, but I can’t walk home.

My paperwork has gone through, and I would like to seek out work. Back home, and now here, I have a Masters in Physics. I also have a deep interest in theoretical mathematics.

Failing that, I danced ballet for almost ten years, if anyone is looking for a dancer. Though I'm not certain who might be. I'm merely exploring all options.

Notes: Cock(erel) talk

[Bart opens sitting in a pen with a pair of what to the casual eye look like very small chickens calmly enjoying his company.]

So, as some of you may remember, back in the first week of April I got a dozen day-old chicks to raise up to lay eggs in the future. They were sexed to be girls, but unfortunately that's not a foolproof check that early in life. So...

[He pauses to pick up the mostly white one, who barely struggles at the manhandling and quickly calms in his lap after a few protesting caws and pets from his owner.]

This one isn't a hen. Well, technically the girls are called pullets at this age, but this fella here? He's a cockerel. And I'm not planning to breed new chicks, so I need to find him a good home. As you can see he's pretty well mannered and doesn't tend towards bad habits, although he will untie your shoelaces for you if you let him. But he is a boy and he does crow, so make sure you have enough space so he doesn't decide to do it right outside your window every morning. A rooster's crow is so loud you really shouldn't be listening without ear protection. As a matter of fact, nature has given roosters a natural ear protection for when they crow, otherwise they'd deafen themselves.

But enough of that. If you have interest in a good feathery boy, feel free to contact me. All I ask is he be well taken care of and have a good life.

ONLINE COMMUNICATION

This community is meant to simulate online interactions between characters. The game lacks a closed network but characters have a number of choices when it comes to expressing themselves to their fellow metas.

OURPOWERS

OurPowers, the primary social media site for metahumans, operates just like Facebook. Posts and comments will have a picture of your character and their name. Players can have multiple OurPowers profiles. Posts on Ourpowers are done under their civilian name or metahuman alias.

OurPowers does have an anonymous feature. In world, this feature is there to allow metahumans the freedom to ask questions without outing themselves. It can be used for most anything, though. Replies can either be anonymous or names can be attached.

CLOSED GUILD NETWORKS

This community can be used for private guild communication. All Society members are given access to the Society's network. And all Alliance members have access to the Alliance's. Unaffiliated characters will need to set up their own.

These networks are unhackable. Any attempts to do so must be posted on the Plotting Page.

FORMATTING

SUBJECT LINES
All subject lines should use the following format:
TYPE | NAME / ALIAS / HANDLE | SECURITY

SUGGESTED INFORMATION
Because all posts to OurPowers are attached to a name and a photo, we encourage (but do not require) players to use the form below at the top of their network posts:
