Romana, I'd like to see you now, if you're up for it.

You're almost home. You're-
Shit. This- this isn't Afghanistan. Been here before though, this is- this is the City.
Shit.

Whatever that was that came for me, it was a lot tougher than it looked. I think I've been out almost 12 hours. It looks like something or somethings have been kidnapping people and taking them to the prison under orders of the deities.
Who all is working towards getting them out? Because I want in.

Aug. 25th, 2009 07:52 pmI like this curse, for various reasons. One, because I know that I pull this off:
Not that I doubted it, but it's nice to have empirical evidence. Second, I'm taking apart everything that's changed that I can. I'm curious if once the curse is over it's possible to build working models of these things based off of how they are now, or if they only work because it's a curse.

Aug. 20th, 2009 08:28 pmThe more I'm in the City the more I find myself working. I've never stayed in such a small geographic area in my life. I don't think I've even stayed on one planet this long since I became Iron Man. It would be much less frustrating if I was achieving new heights in my work but with a lack of proper production facilities and materials in some instances, I can even make some of the things I design. It's very frustrating.

Jun. 22nd, 2009 11:32 amSo dad showed up for about 2 minutes before he wandered off looking for the closest party with some alcohol. I guess I should consider myself lucky, if he'd stayed around he might have wanted to talk.
Was anybody yesterday glad that their father showed up?
Also, after seeing the play performed yesterday I started wondering if anyone here was a playwright or a screenwriter. It might be interesting to see some original works performed or produced.

Jun. 4th, 2009 12:33 pmHaving your free will taken away without having done anything, without having broken any laws, is definitely a horrible thing.
That being said, surely not everyone can have been embarrassed by their behavior the other day or had a horrible time?I know I enjoyed it.
One of the engineers at City Solutions recently designed a flexible plastic that has some very interesting applications. I like this one:
The LEX phone is very slim and easily bendable while still being able to hold it's shape once bent, allowing you to wear it on your wrist, wrap it around a belt, or just form to the contours of your leg while in your pocket. It will also be available in several colors and integrates with the City network.
It should be in retail outlets soon.

May. 26th, 2009 06:04 pmApparently during the assault against the Major I disrupted the flight pattern of mosquitoes, and have to pay a fine. I'm not sure what the deities intend to do with the money. Maybe give it to the mosquitoes? If so, there are going to be some very wealthy mosquitoes out there. This is the eighth and by far most ridiculous fine I've had from them this month.
If they're hard up for a little cash, they could always just ask me for a loan instead of trying to bleed me dry.
After the circus curse I'm not sure if I can ever enjoy the zoo quite the same. It's not quite the same, but a large cage is still a cage.

May. 5th, 2009 03:50 pmApparently it is against City Building Code to have missiles of any sort in your building, even if they're used in defense of the City. Also, violating that code caries a very, very heavy fine.
So, if you thought about equipping your apartment or storefront with any, you might be aware of the fine.
I think I need to go to the deity office and read up on any other Building Codes I might inadvertently be violating.

Apr. 23rd, 2009 09:22 pmResidents of the City, this is Tony Stark, Iron Man. In a few hours we are about to commence an attack on the Deus Ex Machina II, home of the Major. This man has bullied the residents of this City for as long as he's been here in the hopes to provoke us, provoke anyone, to battle. To war. Tonight he is going to get his wish.
While this may seem like giving him exactly what he wants, someone once told me that with great power, comes great responsibility. That’s usually thought of as a lesson for children, a simple injunction to do the right thing. But it's something everyone who fights with me tonight has taken to heart. Inside that zeppelin innocent people are captive and we feel that we have a responsibility to do something about it not only because we have the power to, but because what the Major is doing is wrong.
The Major has demonstrated that he has no hesitations about attacking the City if he is attacked and I give you my word that we will ensure that none of you come to harm. The only ones who are put in harms way tonight will be those who do so willingly.
I promise you that when this is over that every prisoner aboard that ship will be rescued and that the Major's war machine will be crushed without harm coming to the general populace. What we do tonight we do for your greater safety and we hope that after tonight you will feel assured knowing that there will be one less threat against your safety in the City.
[ooc: Apologies for the double post today but it needed to happen. Info on the assault is here and the log for the assault if you so desire to log is here.

Apr. 23rd, 2009 01:41 pmI wonder where the precipitation from this world comes from. Since we can't see what exists beyond a certain distance from the island we have no idea what the ecosystem is like, or if there even is one. Is there actual an ecological system set up in an entire planet that we're just an island on, or is everything controlled by artificial means and the entirety of this "planet" is this island and the short distance all around that we can travel?
[Private to People Attacking the Major/Unhackable]
We're assaulting the Deus Ex Machine II tonight shortly after midnight. You're all familiar with your roles and jobs. A lot of you have probably heard how we're giving the Major just what he wants, and that may be true. What's more important though is that we're freeing captive innocents and ending the kidnappings of our fellow citizens.

Apr. 20th, 2009 11:34 amWell that was a lovely bit of mind-fuckery there by the deities. I know it's not like we should be surprised by this point, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be appalled.
I'm sure some of you had really good experiences with dreams, which is nice, but I have a feeling that most of the City didn't, just because that seems to be the modus operandi of the deities. Angst and embarrassment were probably the most common outcomes of the dreams.
[Private to Romana/Unhackable]
Romana, we need to talk.

Hello everyone, this is Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man. After talking to Kara, I've agreed to take over the coordination efforts of the assault on the Major's zeppelin. She was feeling a little overwhelmed with the scope of the planning and I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. I want everyone to know though that my involvement in this is not as a member of the Police Force.
Details of the time of the attack are still being worked out. There are a lot of people involved and we have to balance making sure our efforts are well coordinated with not waiting too long. What I can tell you so far is that we intend to insert strike teams into the zeppelin to bring it down. We are also planning to have a ground assault team just in case he takes this chance to attack the City with some of his troops.
Everyone will be outfitted with a communication device with private channels, enabling you to communicate with just your team as well as receive overall communications from those coordinating the assault. Each device will be coded to you genetically so if you're captured or killed your device can't be used to listen in.
If you are already part of some sort of team from your own world, please let me know, we'll make sure that you're grouped together.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Mar. 26th, 2009 07:59 amTo all the Advanced Engineering students, remember the proposal for your final project is due tomorrow. Don't turn in anything half assed or I will fail you. And if you think mommy and daddy's donations to the school will protect you, think again. I've got more money than God. In fact, God just called me on the phone yesterday and asked me for a loan. Whatever your parents donate I've probably got in my wallet so guess who the university is going to side with?
That said, some of your work so far this year has been very, very impressive. I've even seen what's going on in the high schools in the area and there are some very bright students out there. I look forward to seeing your final projects.

Mar. 20th, 2009 01:54 pmIt's always interesting to see who wants to be Warden. It's especially interesting to see if any of those people expressed any interest in any of the functions of the position outside that office. It's great that people want to help the Police Force or have ideas about how to keep everyone safe. But why do you have to wait until election time to implement those?
