Sooo, the Policeman's Ball was a real hit. If you like being hit. Twenty hostages missing, including five recent graduates of Fandom High. Various henchpersons were captured, but apparently they don't know where the kidnappees are being held ( Read more... )

For those in the know, working on a Plan.

Having to go back to Fandom for her classes had been frustrating in the extreme, but Barbara had been insistent. Nothing was going to be done until later, which meant that Karla had plenty of time to head to her classes.

Luckily, there were no Portolocity mishaps, which meant Karla was back as soon as the Magic Reserves ended. "Anything new?" she asked, as soon as she stepped into the room.

"We've narrowed down the location where the Riddler has taken the hostages," Barbara said, her voice taut as she worked with the Delphi Circuit. "From the clues he left in mathematical and Latin notation, it's Amusement Mile. 5, 2, 8, 0, and the phrase ab origine ad absurdum." She rubbed her eyes behind her glasses. "But it's still a long stretch of coastline to find an entrance to wherever they're being held."

"I can do a tracking spell," Tony said. "I just need a part of something that has a connection to our guys."

For those kidnapped, currently with itchy noses. Possibly watery eyes. Maybe a case of bedhead.

The henchpeople are throwing fruit roll-ups at you and bottles of water, and allowing occasional bathroom trips.

Re: The Lair pyroliz June 2 2010, 20:18:37 UTC

So this wasn't the worst situation that Liz had ever been in, but it was close to being one of the worst.

She sighed, she still wasn't going to be telling Hellboy about this.

Re: The Lair heromaniac June 3 2010, 00:05:59 UTC

Thwack!

"IF YOU HIT ME WITH A FRUIT ROLL-UP ONE MORE TIME YOU WILL BE SORRY!" Momoko winced, instantly regretting her yelling. "Ow ow ow. Stupid headache." The adrenaline from last night had worn off and the lack of sleep, combined with the odd lighting in the lair had her head hurting. Well, all that and the knock-out blow to her skull from Mr Red Tie that had gotten her here.

Momoko sat still for a moment, trying to calm her head, then slowly began to work at her ropes again. She'd managed to free herself twice during the night, but had been caught each time before she'd gotten to do much of anything. She'd put up enough of a fight that they'd given up trying to re-gag her, though.

"Stupid purple and green suits and ugly hats and bad decor and what kind of evil logo is a question mark?! That's like saying maybe you're a villain, maybe not. Which is it? Now an exclamation mark..."

Thwack!

"My dear guests!" The Riddler arrived around mid-morning, twirling his question-mark trademark umbrella and looking incredibly pleased with himself. "How are things faring with you this bright crisp morning? Any requests? How about a game of questions?"

He grinned. "Maybe if you win, I'll let you go!" A pause. "Well, most likely not. But you never know!"

Re: The Riddler lovemykilt June 2 2010, 18:09:49 UTC

Priestly had managed to work his mouth free of the gag at some point in the night -- though not to scratch his nose, alas.

"I have a question," he said. "Can I really get a bunch of free money from the government? Or are your infomercials full of crap?"

Re: The Riddler gothamlights June 3 2010, 00:04:42 UTC

"I hate that guy!" The Riddler pointed at Priestly, umbrella spinning crazily. "And of course you can! You just have to head a major corporation! Or, of course, kidnap various members of the public!"

Re: The Riddler lovemykilt June 3 2010, 00:07:08 UTC

"You hired a bunch of henchmen," Priestly pointed out. "I wouldn't exactly call that 'free'."

DUN DUN DUNNNN!

Re: The Rescue wantstodirect June 3 2010, 01:54:47 UTC

The compact would've taken off without them, so Tony had a backpack around it to give him a handle. The spell lead him to a door. He nodded to Dinah and Helena and pointed at the door.

Re: The Rescue gothamlights June 3 2010, 01:58:02 UTC

Helena kicked in the door. Which at least startled the two henchmen on the other side, such that they didn't have time to pull their guns.

Aaaaand then there was fighting:

WHAM!

BOFF!

POW!

Ker-BLAM!

Re: The Rescue blondecanary June 3 2010, 02:08:11 UTC

WHAMMO!

THUD!

"...owie ow ow..." whimpered the one guard left conscious.

Dinah bent down to grab the earpiece on his ear, and threw one from another to Helena. "And now we have an in on their communications," she said, breathless. "Oracle, do you copy?"

Alfred has tea. And cookies. And real food, back at Wayne Manor.

Re: The Aftermath heromaniac June 3 2010, 03:37:58 UTC

Momoko had taken a quick shower and was in a comfy shirt and jeans AND HER POWER BELT, currently making her way to where ever that smell was coming from. "Mmmmm. Cookies? Hi, Mr Alfred!"

Re: The Aftermath gothamlights June 3 2010, 03:48:17 UTC

"Good evening and welcome back, Miss Momoko. I trust that you kicked a considerable number of villains?" Alfred said, looking pleased. "Peanut butter, chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin. Also a few trefoils. Tea or milk?"

Re: The Aftermath heromaniac June 3 2010, 03:52:26 UTC

"Tea please!" Oooh! Trefoils! She picked over the selection. "And I did at the end. Finally." She patted her power compact. "I've got to figure out a way to keep this with me all the time. I always get attacked when I don't wear it."
