[The Joker has just acquired a brand new rocket launcher and he's looking forward to trying it out. One thing about the City as that there was guaranteed to be someone running around the rooftops. A little scanning of the skyline and he finds the perfect target.]

Ooooohhhhhh, she even tells me how many points she's worth. Hahahahahaha.

[The Joker fired the rocket and right away he could tell it was going to miss. Close, but no cigar. The launcher was a piece of junk. He'd have to find out who had sold it to them and remove an organ.]

Fffff.

[ Shrieking when the wall and ledge ahead of her suddenly exploded was not her proudest moment. Neither was the few seconds of what the slag and leaning in for a closer look.

When she realized the implication of someone shooting first and asking questions later, Ten turned tail and darted off along the ledge the way she'd came. ]

Oh come on, you're not playing right!

[This time, the Joker snatched up his personal bazooka and fired it at her. Bubblegum bomb is away!]

[ She saw something pink and huge hurtling towards her. It was almost instinctive, the way she threw her arm out like that. Like her hand was going to stop it, or she had anything to throw at it.

Except that there was something, and then there wasn't. Just an explosion and suddenly there were glob of pink... goo everywhere. There was an overly sweet smell about it. Almost as if it were... ]

Gum? [ She peels off the piece on her stomach, more relieved than ever that she has gloves - it feels prechewed. That's a really big mouth. ] Who fights with gum?

[Courtney had noticed the girl running towards the mesuem about a block back, and had followed her mostly out of bored curiosity. Patrolling really was rather dull. Still, when she prowled her way to a window and peered inside, the blonde hero decided she really should step in.]

[So she came hocering up behind the woman, dressed in her stargirl costume and sitting on the floating, glowing cosmic rod. Her arms were crossed, and she tried to look firm but was probably failing.]

I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to be here.

[ Sigh. The appearance of someone else was probably inevitable. If the activity level on the Network was any indication, the City was practically swarming with vigilantes. Ten turned to see a girl, who looked about her age, floating on some sort of broomstick. Her hands went to her hips as she bit back the urge to tell her to run along. ]

I could say the same thing about you, you know, but I think we're both doing the same thing. I thought I saw something moving inside, so I stopped for a better look. Turns out it was the guard.

[starsandbraces]

[The girls costume seemed familiar somehow, but Courtney honestly wasn't sure why. She'd probably seen it, or something like it, in the JSA files she often wasted time rummaging through back home.]

Hey, I'm only here because I saw you. A guard, huh?

[She wasn't sure she believed her, and she floated forward a foot or two to peer past her at the window, looking for the guard she mentioned.]

[01_4_10]

[ There had, in fact, been a guard. That part wasn't a lie. Ten had been curious about what path he took. Grudgingly, she pointed out where you could still make out the flashlight. ]

Down through that door. There, see how the light's brightness kinda bops along?

[ And cross this off the list of potentials. ]

[This isn't the first time Apache's seen people hopping around on the rooftops. She has gathered that only imPorts do it, and on some level, it makes sense. It grants a better view of the City for exploring, and it means being spared questions and stares. Although Apache doesn't particularly care if most humans find her frightening, sometimes it's nice to just be left alone. Admittedly, that's a little harder when someone's just hopped on the ledge next to the one she's perched on]

[She addresses the new arrival in Spanish] Wasn't expecting company.

[At the moment, she can't speak any English, though she's gotten into the practice of keeping her communicator handy in case she needs things translated. It makes in person conversations a little slower, but possible when they otherwise wouldn't be.]

[01_4_10]

[ Well, she was right about one thing: this many imPorts made her running around in costume downright mundane. You'd need an air traffic controller to keep everything straight. ]

[ Unfortunately, she doesn't speak Spanish, or even understand it. Ten just gives this new person a look. ] Guess you've got this building covered.

[violent_bambi]

[Apache wasn't precisely in a costume, but with a horn on her head, dark blue hair and mismatched eyes, it wasn't like she really blended in, either]

Huh? [Oh, right. English. She pulls out her communicator, speaks, and lets it translate what she has to say]

...didn't think this many people would get their kicks by jumping around from roof to roof.

[01_4_10]

[ Ten had just assumed that that was her costume. ]

Seems to be a national sport.

How do you get the communicator to do that?

[ It's not something she needs, but it wouldn't hurt to know exactly how much the device can do. ]
