Celebration

[not_good_not_wicked]

You can relax, everyone! I dealt with the incident that was causing all those weirdos to run around! No more random men attacking you with salt shakers on the street.

Oh yeah, and I guess a few other people helped. Either way, this sounds like a good reason for everyone to have a good time.

[Later]



Rin! Rin Rin Rin! You were right! There's a drinking age! Most bars won't let me get anything with booze in it! This is awful!

Welcome to the harsh reality of the modern world.

[not_good_not_wicked]

The modern world sure has some weird rules.

[planet_rin]

It is the price we pay for air conditioning and cable TV.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Suddenly all this stuff doesn't seem quite as interesting.

[nomen_est_numen]

Sceptical bird is sceptical.

"I find that a bit hard to believe."

[not_good_not_wicked]

"What part?"

[nomen_est_numen]

"Wherein you took care of the problem almost singlehandedly." That is a lot of eyebrow to quirk. He lifts said eyebrow like he means it. LIKE A BOSS, YO. "Especially after hearing what I heard from Gordon."

[not_good_not_wicked]

"I SAID they helped, didn't I?"

[nomen_est_numen]

"Oh, yes. Rather grudgingly so. As though they simply stood by and handed you things."

[kaboobya]

Congratulations!! [ Have one very gullible girl cheering you on, Marisa. ] You're our hero!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Not just anyone can solve problems like I can.

[...technically true.]

[kaboobya]

Oh, are you really good at solving problems? I have a few that have been bugging me lately... is there a charge? I think heroes are supposed to charge once they're famous, right?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I don't really do that by request, but this situation was getting troublesome for everyone.

[kaboobya]

Oh well! If you decide to start a business, I'll be your customer first in line!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Hmm, I wonder if I COULD start a business...

[kaboobya]

You probably could. It wouldn't be too hard to advertise around here at least.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Eh, I dunno. Doesn't seem to be any shortage of incident resolvers around here, and I'm already being paid. Why bother?

[kaboobya]

Um, well maybe you solve other incidents instead!

Besides, it'd be a lot of fun, don't you think?

[trustycrowbar]

[Gordon's still got bits of marshmallow stubbornly clinging to his hair and glasses. That stuff is almost supernaturally difficult to clean off.]

Well gee whiz, thanks for the shout-out. You know you could've gotten yourself killed in there.

[not_good_not_wicked]

No problem! I wasn't really worried.

[trustycrowbar]

[He's already convinced she isn't the brightest particle in the bubble chamber, so it doesn't surprise him that the sarcasm goes over her head.]

Well WE were! That's my point, kid! If you going to run off on a suicide mission, at least give the rest of us the courtesy of telling us next time.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I can take care of myself you know.

[trustycrowbar]

There's a difference between "taking care of yourself" and "throwing yourself into a battle that four people could barely win!" This isn't up for debate, Marisa. Tell someone next time!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Geez, what a friggin' glory hog. How the hell did you even find that place anyway?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I asked, and then someone told me.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Wait, what? Somebody just flat out told you?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yeah, it was really easy.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

You don't get it! We'd been trying to weed that guy out for weeks! Why the hell did the person contact YOU about it, and more importantly who is it that would've known where the guy was in the first place?!

[not_good_not_wicked]

It was when everyone was being forced to tell the truth.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Which means someone out there was holding back! Damnit!

[not_good_not_wicked]

You think they might be back to cause trouble later? They didn't say who they were or anything. Just an anonymous tip off.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I dunno, but I don't like it one freaking bit.

[not_good_not_wicked]

It's pretty suspicious.

[canthandleacape]

You know, normally I'd be pretty mad that you didn't even mention us by name, but I'm way too happy to have all this crap over with to care.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Didn't realize you were the glory hog types. I guess if it happens again I could be bothered to say it was "The Justice League."

[canthandleacape]

Hey, we're professionals, branding is important!

[not_good_not_wicked]

Branding?

[canthandleacape]

Yeah, y'know, getting our brand name out there?
