Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Don't threaten me with a good time.

@Lord Wraith

Well, I'm sure there'll be a lot of that going around. They're a bunch of hormonal young teenagers shut in a house togeth--

This is what happens when you push all your friends away... suddenly you're begging people to sit down and share a cup of tea with you.

Meh-meh-meh... "That's valuable, Red, leave it alone." Meh-meh-meh. "The skull of the ancients is very fragile." Meh-meh-meh "I told you, now look what you've done, that magical artefact was irreplaceable." Meh-meh-meh...

Working on ye olde introduction post. I can't say I've had time to read everyone's in their entirety, but I plan to retroactively because I love reading people's writing. I just have a feeling I'm about to enter a Danger Zone of a busy week, and introduction posts always take a little bit for me to suss out. Moving forward, I'll be tippity-tapping a bit faster.

Just wondering @Hillan, because I left it ambiguous in my CS, who would be the Green Lantern(s) Hana has interacted with? I didn't put anything down, because I didn't want to assume. I meant to ask earlier, but it kept slipping my mind. And if I missed it in the OOC, sorry about that. I have to admit I sleep on occasion and miss the fun stuff.

@psych0pomp

Hana makes an appearance in the tail end of my post and Roman's Vincent post.

The whole building was briefly in a blackout and the lights have just come back on after being fixed by Hillan's Julian.

That's about all you need to know that directly affects Hana. If you skim those bits real quick you'll be golden.

... Surely, you made like, 90% of those up. Right?

Man, Julian's gonna have a bad day when a guy in green leather breaks into the Penthouse and yells in a very deep voice that he's failed this city.

@Hillan

I made none of those up, and you know it!

Ahhh the Golden Age of comics. Where you could give a monkey a bow and arrow and you have a full fledged antagonist. And the idea of a robotic Archer has enough legs for two different characters.

First villain wave:
Merlyn
Ape Archer
Archer from Mars
Archie the Archer

"We seem to be finding a disproportionate number of archers as villains..."

"This is just what happens when we move to Seattle."

I always love seeing lesser-known villains being used and turned into an A-List threat. So please, don't throw us against the Joker or Metallo, the Court of Owls and League of Assassins are both overdone. But hey, bring back the Council of Spiders or the Republic of Tomorrow. We're in Seattle, so instead of transplanting Gotham villains, we should steal from Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman who have all at one time or another resided on the West Coast.

@Lord Wraith

You'll get Ra's Al Ghul and like it, young man!

I miss our banter when everyone was anxious about being accepted or not so I'm going to start some discussion...

Since we're set in the DC Universe, who are you hoping makes an appearance in the RP? Furthermore, who do you want the team to go up against?

And if you're not a huge DC fan, what sort of threats are you hoping we face? Do you have any ideas you'd love to see happen whether as a story arc or even just an interaction between two or more characters?

Personally, I'm always a big fan of seeing any of the DC big names show up and hopefully disprove of our team initially until much later in the RP where they're forced to relent and acknowledge they're proud of us haha. In terms of Antagonists, I don't want to particular retread too much from the show, I'm okay with the Light being the main antagonist, but I'm hoping to see an original spin being put on either their mission or members.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm enjoying the team dynamic that has been established and I imagine most of my favourite moments will come from that. But I'm hoping that in addition to movie nights and other silly events we also get conflict among the team and maybe even having the team splinter and forced to fight members.

@Lord Wraith

The Light's Queen Bee has her agent Brother Blood in charge of a legacy project, Project H.I.V.E whose mission statement is to bring forward a new generation into the Light and eventually become a legitimate counter-force to the Titans.

...but their first cake-walk assignment is to prove they have "The Right Stuff" by running over a speed bump; a ragtag "team" of misfits calling themselves Renegades in the Pacific North West...

If everyone’s happy I’d like to claim the dialogue in Hound’s post for Vincent’s debut; I plan to get it written and posted this evening after work.

I’m enjoying everything put up so far though. Wraith, I think I counted 3, maybe 4 pop-culture references in your post? When did you start being so hip and down with the kids?

@Roman

S'all good, m'man.

Young Justice Renegades: A Team Worth Dying For

Red Morrow sat in his room's one chair and stared into the darkness, thinking.

It had been quite a week. He'd by now made himself well acquainted with his living quarters and at least cursory greetings had taken place amongst all of the new people who would be making up this team. Obviously more time had been spent with some than others, but he'd tried to be welcoming and hope that people would be receptive to it.

Strangely, again, some had been moreso than others. And as a result Red had spent more time with those people. It did strike him strange that some viewed his presence as a nuisance on occasion. After all, Red knew that others had also been informed that they were to function as a team. A unit. Red's virtual education formed analogy of a computer comprising of various components, all functioning in unison for a set of predetermined tasks and queries. Or to better work with the 'team' descriptor; goals.

Surely at some point these other people would realise that it remains in mutual interest to come together on the same page in order to function effectively? Julian might have to specifically delegate roles for individuals if they couldn't prove themselves capable of collaboration. Not an impossible way to lead, but one which lacks the versatility of a team capable of both working together and on self-driven goals.

Still, it was early days yet. And even the people Red had spent time with it was most often spent with the distractions of this world he woke up in, so it was hardly other people's problems alone. If he was going to be able to function as a valuable teammember he was going to need to have a basic understanding of common aspects of culture and society, so that he wouldn't be fooled or distracted by new things out in the field. And new things in society weren't the only distraction.

There had been times he'd been helping 'spot' his new friend Kevin on the rack in the gym, and he'd get lost in thought and find himself staring at Gabi whilst she was running on the treadmill, and somehow time would pass and he'd hear a gurgling underneath him as Kevin was having trouble putting the bar back up, so he'd have to help him red-faced after being caught negligent in his duty. Or sometimes he'd be listening to something Hayden had been talking about which was honestly really interesting and he'd normally be concentrating really hard and then Selene would walk in the room and his eyes would just follow her across the room until Hayden would have to snap him out of it, and they'd be upset, but Red didn't know why his attention would just stray. Or when Hana would say something lewd and provocative to the group and everyone else would kind of keep moving on with the conversation as if it had never happened whilst his mind just seemed to stay there, thinking on it for some reason. Or Cece.

Just Cece. For some reason. So many different occasions he'd just dropped what he was doing when she'd needed help with something. Even when he was already doing something else. There was just something about Cece. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. And what it could have to do with these other instances where his attention had wavered.

Wait a-minu-- An idea just hit Red.

The lights flicked back on just overhead.

A voice called through the crack in his door, distracting him from his moment of illumination. "You know Julian's had lanterns downstairs for during the blackout, right?"

"I'm in my room. I know everything that's in here already. What's there to see?"

The only response to this was a loooong whistle, as if something was falling. Apparently Red had given another "interesting" response.

"What's there to see _{he says}..." The voice mutters as it's owner went down the hallway.

Red tried to go back to his thought, but it was gone. He sighed at the lost train of thought, then scowled back at the door at the distraction. He saw Hana walk past the cracked open door and his brow raised in interest. He got to his feet, hearing the raucous noise of teenagers announcing movie night elsewhere in the depths of the house.

The cultural education continues.

Ooh, quite the weekend to be flying around down in our neck of the woods! Hope it was an easy one.

@Stormflyx

Flying home after the wife's weekend family shindigs. Not too rough, they only hassle you if you've been overseas or through Perth.
