nightly patrol - open @ 08:33 pm

[info]legitimate_son:

Green Arrow was prowling Star City tonight. He'd been in and out of the game lately. Most of it was because he'd been keeping up with the other family business; the one that makes money. Some of it was debauchery, admittedly. But tonight, he was out and about. Keith had already bagged a baddie that tried to mug a sweet old lady. It seemed odd, though, that the old lady would be the one out at night. Where were the pretty ladies?

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas @ 10:08 pm

[info]dc_holiday:

Each year toward the end of December people come together with friends and family to celebrate and exchange gifts. The atmosphere is light, merry and there is plenty of cheer to go around. Holiday music fills the air while bright colorful lights light up the nights. Mistletoe is placed in strategic locations and people are willing caught under it.

It's a time of celebration, even for superheroes.

So Much For "Smokeless" Candles... [open to JLA] @ 02:03 am

[info]collateralmagic:

Magical training could be such a pain in the butt. This particular assignment, for example, had required that Alina figure out how to get power to something electronic without having a cord break any of the protective circles she used when she was experimenting. She'd been clever though, and put it off until after Halloween, and then cleared a few dollar stores and craft stores out of all their cheapest holiday fiddly things.

The end result, so far, is that Alina's sitting in the middle of one of the training rooms in Justice League of America headquarters, surrounded by three concentric binding circles chalked on the floor in blue, black, and white. There are two piles on the outside of the largest circle, one of cheap battery-included horrors and one of cheap battery-included horrors whose insides have been reduced to slag. She currently has her head bowed over the black electric tea light candle cradled in her and is muttering to herself as she tries to turn it purple without frying it to death.

But hey, once she figures out how to do this, she can start trying to do things to technology with her magic other than instantly destroy it.

The casing on the candle turns the same color blue as the smoke that comes out of the battery pack.

"Ugh!"

Back in School(Meme Annie) @ 01:08 am

[info]angryarcher:

The Justice League had gotten wind of a new operation that some elements Injustice Society was running for some extra funding. It involved the creation and distribution of a new kind of drug called haze. So the JL was running a multi part operation to try and take it down before anything really bad could happen. Unfortunately at least as Sam saw it he and Annie had drawn the sucky job and had to infiltrate a high school to see what kind of information they could get.

Dress in his regular clothes he enter the high school for his first day of classes at a new school.

Lame Villians: The Lameness Strikes Bad @ 09:58 pm

[info]angryarcher:

Sam was headed to one of the local shopping centers in Star City to investigate some reports of strange goings on there. The reports sounded almost to strange for him to believe which was why he was going to check them out. Plus they sounded like they would be kind of funny to watch happen.

Stairs going wild and the like all seemed pretty entertaining to him.

Not What YOU Might Call "Fun"... @ 02:24 pm

[info]collateralmagic:

It starts as a normal day at YJLA headquarters.

Most of the team is already present; there's a meeting due to start in about half an hour and a training session after. Only minor beeps and alerts are coming through over the computers, nothing that can't be taken care of by local law enforcement. Outside, it's sunny, and there are even birds chirping and twittering to each other. It's almost blissfully quiet.

Until, very suddenly, it's not.

There's a near-tangible shift to the atmosphere as a wave of something blooms from somewhere within YJLA headquarters and travels outward through the building. It passes through walls and furniture and people with equal ease, bringing darkness with it as the lights go out and electronics abruptly fail to function. Openings to the world outside of headquarters -- doors, windows, escape hatches -- are consumed by the walls around them, vanishing entirely in some cases or scarring over as if they were old wounds. The emergency generator hums to life for a moment before it too fails and plunges headquarters back into darkness.

A glowing fog begins to rise, barely enough to see by. It's purple, and parts of it glitter. Faint, abstracted laughter floats down the halls; and Alina's voice trails after it like a handful of ping-pong balls down a staircase:

"That's more fun."

Star City @ 07:43 pm

[info]angryarcher:

Star City was a pretty nice city overall in Sam's opinion even if he did miss his home in San Francisco even some of the hellhole parts he was from. He was resting on a rooftop between patrols of the city having gotten in some light action beating up some thugs earlier but otherwise it had been a fairly quiet night for him. He was probably going to do another hour of this before heading back to his place for the night.

All Hallow's Eve @ 07:39 pm

[info]dc_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

(no subject) @ 10:01 pm

[info]seesaw:

Margery had eaten a mushroom and olive pizza. It was nice. Real nice.  But this place was really creepy. So many pictures of people who weren't genocidal maniacs, but played them in the real world. Except the real world wasn't the real world anymore.  So she tried to sit and stay out of the way, and... oh, someone was coming.

There's a reason vigilantes don't use elevators and...okay well this isn't it. @ 06:13 pm

[info]cantkeepmeout:

Robin had gone down to Star City to look into the weapons dealing business that was connected to the trade in Gotham. A few nights should be enough to pick up what information he needed. In fact, he was in the middle of swinging through town after rattling one of the smaller fish when an alert tells him the alarm's been set off at a building not far from where he was. 

Well, crimefighting called. So Robin swings that way and enters through a window before blending into the shadows again.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore - Crack 17 @ 01:45 am

[info]crossbow_bat:

Huntress opened her eyes and blinked. The first thing that registered was that one side of her face was lying on the rough surface of a rooftop. Her head felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to it. She had the mother of all headaches.

She groaned and pulled herself up into a sitting position. What the hell happened? They had been chasing the woman who had appeared with the others to attack the YJLA. There was a flash of bright light and the next thing Huntress knew she was waking up here.

"Uuuuggggh," she groaned. It hurt to move.

Did you hear about the big shoot out? (Thomas) @ 11:02 pm

[info]angryarcher:

Sam was in Gotham City tracking down a lead from some gunrunning that he had come across back in Star City. Sam had to say Gotham was kind of a depressing place in his opinion. Still he was doing a pretty good job trailing this guy. It looked like the guy was heading into a warehouse.

After the guy went into the building Sam started scouting the place out not wanting to get caught off guard about anything if he could help it.
