Today is not a good day to be taking the rail through Gotham. At least, not at this particular rail station.
Wayne Central. Great station. All done up nice and pretty since the 'incidents'.
Four lockers.
Four trash cans.
Two Benches.
Each of these items contains within it one of
these lovely devices. They work on a timer, and when that

He's possibly never been more thankful of this than right now, when he hears the reports on the radio of some kind of attack on Gotham Central Station. A bombing? Something else? No one's sure. Some of the stations are saying 'fear toxin.'
And the only thing Daniel's more grateful for, then, than his lack of steady work hours, is that he went out yesterday and bought two gas masks, from a military surplus store. He'd have preferred to have time to fit them to him and Rorschach's costumes, but they'd still do like this.
He doesn't know where Walter is right now (At work? At the library? Trying to find Jonathan Crane or Judah Stark?), but he knows his phone number -- mostly because he bought Walter he phone, and insisted he hold onto it in case they needed to get in quick contact. He calls him up.

He's glad he did. There's been an attack. They may be needed. He rushes back to the apartment to get his uniform and gas mask and join his partner in helping out at the train station.

There's a faint, burning chemical smell in the air, enough to make his hears speed up and his head ache. The windows of the station have been blown out, and there's -- oh, man. "That's a lot of cops," Daniel (still out of costume but for gloves and boots and belt -- it would be difficult to explain the cowl and cape, after all, if they got stopped in traffic) mutters to his partner.

"Direct approach. Move through police; inform them we're here to help."
Which may not work. They still haven't met with their supposed police contact, so they don't know how welcome their help is.
"Only other option is to take the sewers to the closed train tunnels and the emergency doors through to station. Doors may be blocked."
Rorschach would need to be told not to be in costume. He will pull his mask off if they stop for any prolonged period or if it's called for, but otherwise he prefers to have it on.

Gordon is there, on the ground with hundreds of police officers and the frightened rush-hour masses. When the report came in that Fear-Toxin was being used at Wayne Central in enormous quantities, he didn't need to be reminded of what happened last time. (Was this Crane? He'd thought the doctor was mostly washed up, lurking in abandoned buildings, sticking to the shadows these days). The GCPD was quick to arrive on the scene, equipped with gas masks since the antidote for the toxin never was mass produced. They are doing their best, evacuating the infected citizens before sending a unit into the building to find whatever or whoever is causing this madness.
And he hopes, although can tell no one, hopes with every part of his being that there is help on the way, or already there.

Getting on is easy, just go to http://mibbit.com and up at the top you will see a field that says IRC: Mibbit IRC. Change this to Darkmyst [it is not alphabetical because...we don't understand why it is not alphabetical, but it's right under DALnet which is easier to find]. Change the nick to whatever you'd like, and the channel to #thenarrows and lo, success!))
