♐ twenty-fourth shot

[he's trying not to fly off the handle at amateurs, so thankfully, he's got actual work to do in order to keep him distracted. At least with Clark running around while Chloe and him dispatched people, he knew that eventually Clark would come back to base and let them know what happened... most times

To the ballroom?

[wishmadeinfire]

[While he was not necessarily attached or even knew the people going missing, he had been on the floor last night when the scream echoed through the journals and all the halls. Further more, he did not like the idea of people going missing. That meant people he knew and did like were equal targets. Heck, he was too, but that thought didn't bother him as much as the former one did.

He was a king, or a former one, and he never sat well with him to see others suffer when he could some something, no matter how small. His mind made up, he came down to the ballroom. He was dressed for war, looking quietly serious as he approached the two men with a sort of military precision that says he is used to combat situations as well as being obeyed, though orders he could take.]

You are looking for people to help lead and execute searches for the missing residents?

[yeahihidmypants]

[the guy got the once over, trying to figure out how serious this person was, then again -- Ollie is in green leather, so who is he to judge]

Yeah, we're taking down names and trying to get everyone acquainted. It'll work better if we all know each other.

I'm the Green Arrow, but you can call me Oliver if you prefer. [since some people get weird about the whole supers and their names]

[wishmadeinfire]

[Ashura would hardly be weirded out by a supers name. He was almost as eccentric as they came in most people's eyes because of his world and the way it had functioned. Heck, look at the way he dressed for 'war' - what most people thought amount to way to much sleeve and a long loin cloth and some tall leg warmers.]

I am called Ashura, though calling me Ash is acceptable if my name is to hard to pronounce. It's nice to meet you Oliver, though I wish it were under better circumstances.

[yeahihidmypants]

Well, it's good to have you with us Ashura. [extends a hand for a handshake]

Do you have any special skills that we should be made aware of?

[lilblackdevil]

[grunt of frustration -- so this is what happened back there?

heads down to the ballroom, if only to see what "great ideas" people are coming up with. she hasn't got high hopes]

[yeahihidmypants]

[well, he doesn't think they're 'great ideas' but it's a start and considering how little information they have at the moment, he's hoping it'll at least give people a bit more reassurance that they're making an effort]

Come to help?

[ooc: Since nothing will actually get too productive until Tuesday for any search efforts, we're going to imply a great deal of the searching. This post will be backtagging and such for organizing the parties that go out Monday, just so that people know who all was involved with these search parties. my IM = onlysayinghello - if you have any questions]

[lilblackdevil]

Yeah. [points at the sign] What's that?

[ooc: got it o7]

[yeahihidmypants]

[glances and shrugs] Someone said they might be a resident and if they're still in the castle, a bunch of people suddenly meeting in the ballroom might raise eyebrows.

I didn't put too much thought into it. I thought it was lame enough that it might actually work.

[cartrauma]

[Chiyo, being alone and nervous in the castle while BAD THINGS are happening got told to come here by Jilly. But she... Isn't sure if she allowed in, especially with that birthday sign business. So she's just... Peeking in from the doorway]

[yeahihidmypants]

[sees the door creep open, and catches the little hand... he had spoken to Jilly about the little kids coming down while they waited for her to get off work, so when he sees the glance in, he moves over toward the door]

Here to help out? [because, you don't ask a little kid if they're there to stay safe]

[cartrauma]

[Oh gosh. She's so nervous. She did come here to be... Well, safe. But she also really did come to help and he's an adult right and ahhhh. Moves so she's standing fully in the doorway.]

Y-YES!

[yeahihidmypants]

[he'll drop down to her level ... whatever level that is]

Well that's good. Because we need all the help we can get. [smiles, and stands up again to help lead her toward a table in the back where there is a HUGE map of Paradisa]

Can you draw straight lines? [there is a yardstick and colored pencils on the table]

laaate and filter

[save_the_souls]

[He'll be showing up in the ballroom since he wants part, glancing at the sign; and quietly wondering to himself]

Isn't it less of a surprise if there's a sign saying it's a surprise...?

[yeahihidmypants]

Well, it says planning committee. Knowing there's a gun at the shooting range, doesn't mean you don't know when it might get fired.

[dude. his zen logic is hilarious]

Anyway, it was just a quick idea to serve as a distraction. [shrugs off his idea fail]

I figure people will see the entry and show up, the walk bys... [which there was one] will just have to pick.

EVEN LATER

[variare]

That's your priority right now?

[ may be mocking, but he's laughing too ]

To take some of the heat offa Ollie!

[knightprodigy]

[Batman's here, going over Ollie's map, feel free to approach him with anything, anything at all.]

[caninevengeance]

[and there's this newcomer, walking up awkwardly, looking as though she doesn't quite know why she's here herself]

You're the one taking notes?

[knightprodigy]

[Straightening, he looks her up and down, not that you can really tell through the lenses of his cowl but asfgh

A note taker, huh? The novelty of the idea amuses him.]

Something like that.

Can I help you?

[caninevengeance]

[Ollie should quit it with the secretary label...it's...not her fault she has no idea]

I've come in late. How much of a plan has been formulated?
