Agenda 003 [video]

[ Alex is standing in the middle of the mayor's office, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a black tie and slacks. He didn't have the foresight to bring a proper suit to work today, or a least that's the impression he's trying to give. You can't see the bags under his eyes, and he's doing his best to look authoritative instead of tired, and the ( Read more... )

[ it takes him a few tries to get his comm working, but then eventually there's a nervous-looking teenaged Clark Kent filling the screen! ]

Um, hello. I'd like to volunteer to help, if that's alright. I've got a license. Well, not here, but I have one in general. Or--I could check on the police station, if you still need help with that.

Sure thing. Have any powers that might come in handy for this?

supermanliness May 7 2011, 18:13:27 UTC

[ SO HESITANTLY....... ] A... few. [ different dimension and everyone has powers, this should be okay right?? ]

I'm pretty fast.

hells4children May 7 2011, 18:53:00 UTC

Fast enough to help reestablish our supply lines? Might take a bit of strength to get that going on foot, though.

Excuse me!

voice; hells4children May 7 2011, 18:11:50 UTC

Yeah, what can I help you with?

voice; growsdarker May 7 2011, 21:18:26 UTC

Not to be rude, but it's obvious something has gone funny. The thing is-- the problem is-- that no one has said what that is yet.

[Beat. Then, with an unmistakable excitement.]

Are we all in the future?

...You're kidding me, right?

[NOT. PLEASED. This is his idea of hell. Also, still very adult]

Those of us who have not been affected. Do you want our help even if we can neither, uh...drive, nor work technology?

[video] hells4children May 7 2011, 18:16:00 UTC

Oh! For a little bit there, I thought there wouldn't be any adults left!

But yeah, man, whatever you can do to help would be appreciated. I don't have any spot worked out for you just yet, but maybe you could help me out by telling me what you can do?

[video] trueltning_fury May 7 2011, 18:30:32 UTC

No? [wondering. Filing that away for later]

I'm a mercenary captain. I have some skill in tactics and have done crowd control before. If the police force is compromised, I would not have a problem taking their place in the event there are others with their minds on looting.

[video] hells4children May 7 2011, 18:58:03 UTC

That sounds great. Consider yourself deputized, then. I'll let you know if I can get a hold of any of the existing officers.

What's your name?

[Houston looks a little frazzled as he appears on camera. He's been dealing with pulling kids out of dangerous situations.]

Report in like come there or just respond here? I don't have a license here but I can drive a truck or something if need be. And I'm super fast so there's that.

[video] hells4children May 7 2011, 18:34:32 UTC

Well, I could probably give everyone instructions together if they all made it at the same time, but it would be a lot easier if I had someone to delegate that to.

[video] a_relative_hero May 7 2011, 18:47:25 UTC

[Houston nods a few times, glancing off camera a moment.]

Delegate handing out instructions? Well if you've got them written down or something I can run them to the right people.

[video] hells4children May 7 2011, 19:02:27 UTC

I can get them written down or something. You any good as a leader?

Who's Hizzoner? Why's he in your hands?

Action! hells4children May 7 2011, 18:43:30 UTC

That's you, Mitchell. His honor the mayor. And you're in my care because you're some ridiculous rugrat now.

Action! homomachinis May 7 2011, 18:45:22 UTC

[ You know that haughty tone kids get when they know they're right? He's got it. ]

I'm not the mayor! That's just stupid. That's a job for boring grown ups. I want to draw comics, even though mom says I should do something like architecture, but I think she's just being silly.

Action! hells4children May 7 2011, 19:09:50 UTC

[ well that's okay because this one's full of sass and sarcasm ]

That's great, and definitely likely to happen. Same way I'm gonna grow up to make video games. Nothing could ever throw me off that course!

But if you want to be a great artist, you're gonna have to get a lot of practice! So, sit down with your crayons and leave those drawers alone.
