ceasetoexist[Phone]
[There's a small, throat-clearing sound on the other end of the phone before Pokey finally begins to speak.]
I found something in the ghost town that opened up during the fight with that stupid robot. You jerks have fifteen seconds to get a pen and paper, because when I start reading? I'm not stopping.
Alright. Hope you're ready, cause here we go.
[And Pokey will proceed to recite what's written on this note. He goes at a moderate pace, not super fast but not particularly slow or meticulous either. He doesn't stop, aside from one time. He pauses a bit before the last paragraph, and that one he reads noticeably slower then the others. And then a short pause after he finishes.]
I hope you losers caught all that, or at least one of you did, cause I don't want you bugging me to repeat.

Alright listen up. The Riddler's droned, probably not for good, but we should probably elect someone to act as an impromptu leader with him gone if he hasn't done so already.
That being said, I'd actually like to do something now that we're settled down after all the bullcrap of the last few weeks. We were supposed to have a meeting last week but, uh, oops, understandably that didn't happen. So I suggest we have one this week, or try to. If no one else can host it, we can use my place because there's only drones here aside from myself, so if you have family members you don't want finding out about this, you don't have to.
I also want to suggest that everyone brings some kind of list of what they saw, what happened, and who they met during this mess. It's going to be best to try and understand this crap from all angles and, because of the mess it was, if any of us have info on the other people in this town we're stuck with, it'd be a good idea to get it out now so we can compile it in case we have to go against these jerkoffs sometime.

Hey squirt. I just...wanna make sure you're alright, after all that went down last week. That's all. Just making sure you didn't go and somehow get hurt.
[A pause. And then, he asks, slowly.]
...You wanna do something today? Like play a game?
[And after these phone calls, Pokey prepares to put the phone up. And stops. And for a long moment, he hesitates between putting it up and dialing one last number.
In the end? He chooses to dial that number.]

[When Pokey starts speaking, his voice is low. Trying to force calm. Struggling to say what he's trying to say.]
Stup-
Pig's bu-
Lucas.
[It was a struggle just to get your actual name out. THink that was hard? It's even more strained when he says the next part. Strained, and somewhat angry, but oddly enough? There's an odd sincerity in his tone. He means it.]
What you said about other people. About needing them. About some of them actually being good.
You were right.
I was wrong.
[And he just stops. He'll stay on the phone for a moment or two, waiting for a reply. And if none comes, he puts the receiver down.]

What're we going to do with the ones who sided with Grady?

Date: 2011-03-29 04:59 am (UTC)We make examples of them.

They still have information about people in this town, both people they met working for Grady's side, and some of the heroes they fought.
I suggest letting them be welcome for a little while longer until we find out what they know in that regard. Then make examples of them.

He's a psychotic menace that will destroy all our efforts if given the chance.

Date: 2011-03-29 05:24 am (UTC)To my understanding, he has no major powers or abilities of his own, simply a man with a gun. However, the question is simply how we could make him pay for betraying us.

Date: 2011-03-29 05:39 am (UTC)That and his obsession with war.
The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is somehow forcing him into a pacifistic situation, but that would more than likely just bore or incite him further.

Date: 2011-03-29 05:40 am (UTC)Maybe that'd have some kind of effect.

If I had the technology I could put him away in some kind of warp prison perhaps or even a portable phantom zone projector.
