When Ichabod entered the Nexus he was, as many are, surprised at his change of surroundings. This was not his house. In fact, it didn't look faintly like New York City. For one, NYC did not have a blinding sign intended for one to read.

Ichabod, after recovering from the initial shock (it took long enough), managed to read the sign in question.

"So

((OH MY GOD THE AMOUNT YOU WIN CANNOT BE EXPRESSED IN WORDS.))

"Yeah, sure." Clark shrugs. "Lots of things. And I'd probably talk to people who could help."

[vicioussweetie]

((But it can be expressed in cake!))

[useourbrains]

((*laughs* I'm not disagreeing with you there! However Ichabod wouldn't enjoy it quite as much.))

[vicioussweetie]

((He can have chocolate then.))

"All the time," Death says. "And I wouldn't, personally, but that's me."

[useourbrains]

"Oh? What was it?"

"But if it was a serious matter that needed to be addressed, would you still leave it?" His tone of voice might indicate that he feels quite strongly about the subject.

[deathwithanankh]

"Things that I can't really tell people." Death grins. "I still wouldn't. It would be interfering and I don't do that sort of thing."

[useourbrains]

Death gets a suspicious look. "Is there a particular reason why you can't tell anyone?"

"But we can't sit back and let injustices go unpunished."

A screen crackles to life nearby, a green mask appears on it. "Yes, tons of time. But they've learned to listen to me," a voice says. It is hard to tell if it's male or female. "And I'd probably just reform, not bother convincing others to do what I can do myself."

[useourbrains]

The sudden appearance of a mask on 'a pane of glass' gets Ichabod to jump. Not discreetly either. The fact it talks almost gets him to pass out.

He takes a good minute or two to examine it from different angles. "H-How did you make them listen to you?"

"What if you couldn't do it without convincing others?"

[oracleknowsall]

"When you're right 99.9 percent of the time, they tend to take your opinion into account." Oracle says.

"It's a screen," she says as she notices him looking. "It allows pictures and words to be carried across great distances."

"I would convince them if I could, or," an almost sneaky tone creeps into the monotonous voice, "I'd make it seem like they'd agreed to the people who actually did the work."

[useourbrains]

"Yes, well, that might be a great help for you. However, I'm looking for another way to get people to listen."

"A screen," he repeats and taps it very lightly. "I don't believe they have a screen in New York."

"Convincing them isn't going too well. It's a pity I can't use that second option of yours. Granted, I'd probably get thrown into the cells anyway."

[vicioussweetie]

"Frequently." The little green baby boy in her arms squeals, possibly in agreement or possibly because there's a particularly colorful something in his sight, which gets a bit of a smile out of Ali. "I lead by example. You'd be amazed how quick people will fall into line behind you when they realize they've been left in the dust."

[useourbrains]

The baby receives a small smile from Ichabod. "What sort of things?"

"I agree that example is a good way to go about it. But it's about time more effective methods were put into place."

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh, things like that time isn't linear. Most people think I'm daft. Of course I am crazy, but in an entirely different sort of way."

Alured, adorable boy that he is, waves at the dear detective and coos cutely.

"People are afraid of change. It'll take time, but it will come if you're patient and persistant."

[useourbrains]

Still, Alured only receives a smile. "I don't recall having heard of that before."

"Then patient and persistent I will be."

[jaegermonster]

Not nobody else, but I disagrees vith lotsa people about vhat'z evident.

[useourbrains]

"You disagree with a lot of people on one point, or on different things?"

[jaegermonster]

Lotsa people on different things, but vun big vun. A lady vas travelling incognito. Ve'd never met her before, the guyz and I. Her papa's eyes, hair like her mama's, and the smell....but humans, they never uses their noses. And they just explains things avay. Ve kept our mouths shut, 'cause she said so, and she's in charge, but it vas so veird how no vun could tell. Vas so obvious.

[useourbrains]

"And no one found her suspicious, even in the slightest?"
