102 [voice]

[batmanschmatman]

[Backdated to last night, a while after Dean's post asking for help.]

[When Dick clicks on the audio feed, he sounds a bit different than he usually does. His voice is more serious, clipped, and very slightly deeper than usual, because he's angry and has comfortably slipped into Batmode to handle all this.]

The situation is under control. Mark Hoffman and Buffy Summers are both recovering in the infirmary.

The assailant is named Edward Blake, a.k.a. the Comedian. He's here as an inmate- [Obviously. :V] and after a physical altercation involving myself, Rorschach and Dean Winchester, he's been taken to the infirmary to have his injuries treated, and as soon as he's well enough, is being brought down to Zero. His weapons have been removed, but I'd like to emphasize that he's an extremely dangerous man, even while unarmed. Do not drop your guard with him.

[Filtered away from Blake]

I understand that when things like this happen, people's first response is wanting revenge against the person responsible. I'd like to emphasize to anyone considering trying anything with him that no matter what he did, we're here to help people like him, and their actions will have consequences. I'd like to think we're all mature enough to not turn this into a bigger disaster than it already is.

[And back to Public]

If anyone has any questions, they can direct them at myself, Rorschach or Dean. [And he clicks off the feed.]

[And added the day after:]

[By now, some of the hardness has slipped from his voice again, but he still sounds a little bit more Batmanish than he usually does.] For any new arrivals, I'm Dick. I'm a warden, I used to be a cop, and I offer self defense lessons to anyone who wants them.

[ooc: The take down log is still in progress, so specifics on injuries/how the fight went down will need to wait a bit, but the situation has been under control since last night, so tag away! :D]

[peektuttut]

How dangerous? [Is this a fighting Lady Shiva thing, or a fighting...someone who isn't Lady Shiva thing.]

[batmanschmatman]

He's an ex-vigilante, and former government agent. He has training, and he's obviously not shy about using lethal force, or playing the I'm a helpless old man card to try and get sympathy.

[Private]

You could take him. [He's not Shiva. :V]

[19centconstable]

What happened to Detective Hoffman?

[batmanschmatman]

He was killed in an altercation with Blake.

From Hospital Hell.

[lastmanstanding]

Going to learn to keep my distance thanks. Good luck to his warden.

[batmanschmatman]

Tell me about it.

[umgekehrt]

[Relief you could cut with a knife]

So you're back up. They letting you have visitors?

Warden filter

[umgekehrt]

Thanks for that, command branch.

[All the deep irony.]

Any news on Hoffman or Summers' recovery? Are they breathing again yet?

Warden filter

[batmanschmatman]

[He's just trying to keep everyone informed. :V] I don't know, I haven't been to the infirmary yet.

Warden filter : Audio

[surfaceshine]

Yes, and yes. And thanks for your help.

[Threadjacking like a boss, even though Dean knows Stildyne wasn't helping him; he was helping Hoffman.]

[Private]

[wemaketheworld]

Would be willing to talk now. If interested in additional information.

[He knows Richard will only go looking for him for the chat anyway, might as well face up to it first.]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I'm very interested. [They're freaks like that. :C] And next time someone from your world shows up, I'd definitely like a head's up as soon as you're sure it's them. Just in case.

[ Audio ]

[surfaceshine]

I'll be in the Infirmary if you - or anyone - needs me. Let me know as soon as we know what the next step is with that douchewad?

[Take point, Dick. Dean doesn't want it in the worst possible way right now.]

[ Private ]

And thanks.

[ Audio ]

[batmanschmatman]

Will do.

[Private]

No problem. And I know your mind's elsewhere right now, but take care of yourself, too.

[lesliemonster]

Is Mark okay?

What is the Barge policy on gift baskets?

[batmanschmatman]

He will be. He'll feel pretty lousy for about a week, so, a gift basket would probably be appreciated.

[buildindreemz]

Thanks for the update. Sorry about Buffy and Hoffman. [She'll be visiting them both, yep.] Had everyone pretty worried, there.

[batmanschmatman]

I guess it's too much to ask to think the days of people stabbing each other in the hallways were behind us, huh?

[thestarspangledman]

Looks like you've gotten it all taken care of, but I'm willing to offer any help if it's necessary.

[batmanschmatman]

I could probably use a hand once it's time to move him down to Zero

[darknessb4me]

An inmate and warden his first day.

[batmanschmatman]

He's been here longer. He's been keeping quiet.

[most_feared]

[He's caught. That's good enough for him.] Good work, Grayson. Hoffman still in the infirmary?

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna want to do much moving around over the next couple days. I'm sure he'll appreciate some company.

[love_slave]

[OMG only two people died? The whole Barge survived?! This is way better than usual.] Are you alright?

[batmanschmatman]

[It could definitely have been worse!] Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

I promise this isn't a weekly occurence around here.

[Filtered away from Blake]

[timesbureaucrat]

And what consequences beyond a slap on the wrist will Blake face for the murder of two people?

[Narvin's eyes are narrowed with rage at Blake's actions. Hoffman reports to him, so Hoffman is defined in Narvin's mind as one of *his* people. And Narvin is extremely protective of his own. He wants...not killing, but staking territory (don't touch my things again or else!) and petty petty revenge on Blake in Time Lord fashion.]

[Filtered away from Blake]

[batmanschmatman]

I'm open to suggestions. [That aren't murder or petty revenge. :|]

[insolubleriddle]

With a name like Comedian, guard duty ought to be a riot. I volunteer for the night shift.

[Now to be serious.]

[Private.]

Costumed villain of some sort...?

[batmanschmatman]

Haha.

[Private]

It's complicated. He's a former vigilante and government agent.

[Audio | filtered, from the infirmary where she's bored to death]

[slayage]

[She sounds.. okay, actually. Tired, weak, but okay.]

I'm really glad I didn't realize he was in a bathrobe until after I was dead. Cause, ew.

[What, she's not making light of being killed. What are you talking about.]

[Audio | filtered, Buffy :C]

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, it was a little... weird.

How are you doing? [He will be down to visit shortly. :c]

Audio - Filtered.

[some_kinda_hero]

Thanks, Dick. You guys okay?

Audio - Filtered.

[batmanschmatman]

We're fine. Thanks.

[chlorophylliac]

And just think, when I killed two people it didn't even make the news. [Rather, it did, but on a Warden filter.] Or was that because you blamed yourself?

[batmanschmatman]

It was because I put the report on a warden filter.

[strangehistorian]

Are you alright?

[batmanschmatman]

Fine, thanks.

Private - more green less trolling

[gotgreenmagic]

You okay?

Private - all the green yis

[batmanschmatman]

Fine. Thanks. [He's not but he doesn't want to talk about why he's not fine so. :V]
