[Lin is standing on an earthen dais in a well-lit cave, a large mound of metal-coated boulders piled behind her, her arms crossed and a smirk on her face.]

If none of you new trainers are ready to face me, fine. But you need the Silver Badge to compete against the Elite Four, so I'll see you here sooner or later. Make sure you're ready, because we won't take it easy on you. It won't do you any favors to be babied. You know where to find me.

And those of you who are taking lessons! Don't shirk just because I'm taking challengers! If you miss a session I'll have you here pushing earth till the middle of next week, so get your rears in here on the double!

Who: Koizumi, Lin, Sheska, and possibly others
What: Being abruptly released from the hospital, coming home to an empty apartment, and misguided attempts to find something to hold on to
Where: outside the hospital and at Koizumi's apartment
When: backdated to the night of April 14th
Warnings: depression, possible talk of suicide
Note: If you want your character to visit Koizumi after he gets out of the hospital, let me know

( out of the woods, but still just as lost )

Aqua

Natasha Romanova
Miles Morales
R
Rogue
Rudy Wade
Sirius Black
Sarah Manning

Many of these people were quiet. Or loners. But they had friends. So be respectful. If anyone has any information about the recent releases and when they were last seen, I encourage you to report in to the station.

As regards last week, I remind you that the things done were under compulsion, and the city does not hold people responsible for their actions if they were affected at the time. If you were affected and wish to make apologies, that is your choice. There will be no prosecution as a result of last weekend's actions.

Any questions?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Who: Anyone with cause to be at the hospital
What: Visits with patients or those in the waiting room
Where: New Moore General Hospital
When: 4/2 and the few days after
Warnings: Excessive guilt, angst, depression, mention of self-harm and attempted suicide

( Waiting rooms aren't hell. They're purgatory, and for some, that's worse. )


NOTES: Tag individual threads within, or make your own - you don't need to be here for Sheska!

[It seems whatever is messing with the island this time has not left Carol unaffected. She turns on the video feed and anyone on the other end is given a rather nice view of her new costume before it zooms in on her face.]

It seems like we're having a bit of a misunderstanding as of late, dear citizens of New Moore; so I'm going to make this as clear as I can for everyone: I'm going to go blow some shit up. If you don't want to get blown up, don't get in my way. Any questions?

People can still show up here if they die, right?

[Smeared with muddy ash, soaked with rain, her hair disheveled, and pretty obviously running on the fumes of three day old coffee or something, Lin looks very little like her usual, composed self. A wet rag hangs limp about her throat, and behind her is a low blaze in the distance, a line of exhausted people wrapped in soggy, fire-retardant clothing lean on shovels beside a wide trench some few yards away. Rain patters down heavily, pinging off her breastplate. The police chief is hoarse, and has to clear her throat before she can manage some sort of understandable communication.]

The fires that caught in the city have been put out. The rain has cooled the lava to the point where it's virtually stopped, and the fires in the forest are, if not entirely controlled, it's contained and closely watched. You're free to return to your homes, if you evacuated. In fact, we encourage it. Take careful stock of your possessions and immediately report any thefts.

Those of you who helped - especially with evacuating and damping the volcano - you have our thanks.

[A ragged shout rises from the volunteers behind her, who heft their shovels in salute.]

We'll make sure the fire stays within its bounds to burn itself out. Get some rest, people.

[Lin is a little less brisk and stern this time - more solemn than usual, but no less forthright.]

Well. This month was not kind. The releases are as follows:

||Text to Lin||

Hey. I know this is gonna sound weird, but is there a gun range here?

||Text to Rudy and Rudy Too||

Got left over chocolate, want it?

||Text to Lin Beifong||

Hello. My name is Aqua and I'm wondering if you still need people for the police station.

[Someone wears metal armor and works on the weekends~ Lin's back again, as grave and serious as ever.]

The new releases are out:

The 9th Doctor
Grant Ward
Ianto Jones
Lily Potter
Molly Hayes
Remus Lupin
Steve Rogers
Terry Mcginnis

If you have questions, ask them here.

Now. Valentine's Day is coming up quickly, as anyone paying any attention to the Network will have figured out by now. Some bizarre event or other usually crops up around that time, so be aware and on your guard. All officers will be on duty that night - you were all warned of this ahead of time, so don't complain about it now - do not hesitate to contact us.

It's been a while since we put the word out, so I'll say it again:

Anyone of 18 years or older who is interested in possibly joining the police force, we have openings and I'd rather fill them with fictionals. Officers, dispatchers, night clerk. Give it some thought.

( [Private: to Sarah//Low security] )

( [Private: to Coulson//Vigilance security] )

( [Private Text Message to Koizumi] )

Whoever gave the release list to a child as drawing material, check your scrap paper next time.

The list is as follows:
Alisha Bailey
Cassandra Cain
Cecil Palmer
Rapunzel
Jason Todd
Kara Zor-El

If anyone has any expertise in getting permanent marker off of a white board, let me know. ...Or crayon out of upholstery.

...not what I signed up for.

[The audio comes on in the middle of the muttered phrase, but Lin raises her voice so quickly that it could easily be missed.]

All right, people, if you're old enough to remember who your roommate is and haven't been able to find them, odds are they were wandering the city and we were called to pick them up. Officers will be delivering your renegades and making sure everyone is going to be taken care of.

[She sounds tired and edgy, but makes an effort to modulate her tone to something more neutral and soothing. The effect is... questionable. But she is trying.]

If you're lost, sit tight. We're still out looking for people and we'll help you find your way to a good place to rest, and make sure you get some pizza. If you have a phone, you can call us to come get you.

[She recites the number for the police station twice, slowly, so that even little fingers might be able to laboriously write it out. Then her tone firms up, sharpening again.]

For those of you teenagers looking for a part time job, or adults interested in helping, let me know.

[Locked to Koizumi]

Koizumi, report in, if you're able. If you don't answer within three hours I'm looking for you myself.

[A much older Carol greets you today, New Moore. Older and rather exasperated.]

I see New Moore is up to it's usual shenanigans. Would it be too much to ask for a little warning?

Alright, New Moore Alliance: Status report. Who's affected by whatever this is and do we need to set up a response or is this the parakeet thing all over again?
