h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

i've just checked it from my home computer and it works. halleluia!

Have to hang up my cape for a while League Will return when the action of the homefront has died down a little. Changeling out...

cya

bye Changeling. hope to see you around here again soon!

"I am Alex Ferr..." *clears throat* "Er-hem! I mean the grey Swordsman," says the young man entering the room with a gray mask and dull-silver suit. "How does one get 'certified' here?" *Mutters that he isn't good or bad, just neutral (for the time being, until he makes up his mind someday).

<--Can somebody please tell me? ** I promise not to overpost... even though I can sometimes type pretty fast ().-->

[Gandark] Hello there. I'm Gandark Underhill.

Yes, I know, I have the same character

<---Whoa, Deja Vu! }Wham!{ as the said sound-effect *hits me in the head*--->
Hi. I'm *pulls off his mask and then is dressed just like a normal guy in a blurry flash-of a second.* Alexander Ferrous, but you can call me Alex or Al. <(he's dressed a little like The Spirit <-a character originally by Will Eisner)>

*Turns himself into metalloid form* There is a dull thudding as he *Knocks himself in the forehead* *reverse-maetal morphs* "um, nevermind that... You didn't just see me show you what my main thing is."

*sent via fancy cell-phone*
G.S. : "Hey Gandark,-I'm telling yas that a little bird told me,-there'd be some action going on down by the pier... Y'know,- at the docks. Yeah, -this is the Grey Swordsman... how'd you know(/guess)?"
<... >

*arrives as Anthony Van Tome. quickly realises this and change into his Spectre costume.*

right. anyone else here yet? we need to figure out this problem with the authorities. i trust you all heard the news bulletin that was just broadcasted?

*Crimson Lady, still as Charlie Doherty, is already there. She doesn't seem too bothered about being in her civvies*

I have a bad feeling about this one, for a start how much does that reporter know? He seems kinda familiar to me

*Prof. Chaos arrives fresh from the laboratory, with blackened stains on his labcoat due to some unruly but exciting experiments*

What's all this ruckus I hear going on? Who's causing a ruckus?

I haven't seen any news bulletin, I've been busy experimenting, someone fancy filling me in?

*quipper arrives looking confused. From the look on her face, everyone can tell she has no idea as to what's going on*

basically there's a news reporter stirring up trouble for us. they're saying the damage to the city after that santa claws event was our fault. it doesn't look like a huge problem now but if it goes on for a while it could cause us major problems.

Alex Ferrous: *Shows up via the lab/garage entrance*
"[I] Got here as quickly as I could. Traffic was a bit bad; gave me an idea for suctioncupped tires/a wall-crawling car. I've got a team from my large firm fixing a new bridge out there... what's the damage report(/assessment)."

*Charlie stares for a moment*

C. You talk funny. This is the problem.

*She turns on the tv to show the reporter from earlier interviewing some people who the League had saved during the Xmas incident. He is getting them to say how their injuries have affected their day to day lives for the worse*

C. We're getting slandered by the press for doing our jobs. Honestly...

hmm. this doesn't look widespread though. is that reporter new? i don't think i've seen her before. not on tv anyway.

Spectre, is your mask on too tight? The reporters a guy, Ronald something-or-other. Although you are right, it doesn't look widespread. I'd like to keep it that way if we can.

*Charlie watches Ronald the Reporter talk to the newsroom*

Any ideas? My dear ol' Aunt Petunia would say invite him round and talk it out face to face but I ain't too crazy about letting the press roam our HQ

oh sorry. missed that one. sometimes it's hard to tell though.

how about we try a little scare tactics on him? actually that's not such a great idea. could make us look even worse in the public eye.
