002- Video

[orions_shadow]

The camera comes into focus, Shadow is laying on a bed in one of the bedrooms of a house in De Chima, #006 to be precise. The room behind him is basic, unused, and only the default linens and furniture. His puppy his nestled up next to him as he lays on his belly. He looks into the camera.]

So... Bet everyone's excited to talk about their feelin' and what went on over the weekend.

Nobody should be surprised that it happened, much less that there's a shit storm of blame bein' flung everywhere. Call me pessimistic but I don't foresee any justice for the victims or us imports.

[His nose creases and he sighs, bowing his head a bit and hunching his shoulders.]

I just don't have anything else t'say on it. It sucks. Just try t'move on soon or you'll just stay there and let your mind rot. Find something to do, find somethin' to do it with, just don't sit at home and brood over it' cos... lets face it, superheroes got enough angst as it is.

So... uh.

[Yeah, what now? The whole reason he was making this?]

I need a permanent place to live. Not lookin' for much, just someplace safe for this pup and me that's got running water and a roof over our heads. A yard maybe.

Prefer it if people I know already get in touch with me first, cos' I'm not too eager to get stuck with the people who left my place the way it was.

[He switches the feet to a quick slide show of the demon warding and other arcane looking symbols found currently in Heropa #0039. Followed by a birds eye view of a dug out pit in the back yard.]

Like a couple of Hellions showed up and started some hell ritual or something. Guess where I found this pup? In the pit. Dug herself right in.

[He shrugs a little to that effect]

It's not that big a' deal but I see that kinda magic and I run. Not to be messed with.

While we're on the topic... Any of you guys, check in if you're not dead, will ya?

[He scratches his neck, then his cheek as he turns his head to think of what else to say.]

That's about it. Yeah.
Oh...

Side note. Been told I need to watch 'The Lion King.'

I did that. Half of it. Didn't like it.

I'll take better movie suggestions though. It'll help kill some time.

Later.

[He reaches to the feed camera, and click!]

[ID reads Green Lantern.]

I know people seem to be badly affected by Scarecrow's fear gas, but for those of us who don't have super healing or whatever the good news is you can work through it. Yeah, I'm using myself as an example, beating fear is in my job description so believe me when I say you'll get through this. You're more resilient than you think.

[A green model of both Dr. Jonathan Crane and Scarecrow pops up in view.]

Also if you see Crane or someone wearing a potato sack over their head you should definitely contact RISE or you know, me. Anyone else affiliated with the Justice League is also fine, basically I don't recommend taking it to the local authorities first. Better to hand him in after he's been subdued.

[Shut up Batman, RISE is a good idea and he's going to get help with this whether he likes it or not.

And the serious moment is over as he grins, baring his teeth in defiance.]

And Crane, if you're out there listening, I've gone up against fear itself there is nothing you can do that'll stop me. After everything you've done here, I'm going to hunt you down and bring you in. You can even try gassing me again so you realise just how weak fear is.

THE MAJORITY REPORT: AUGUST 20TH, 2015

Pandemonium! HORROR! The brutality of the Swearing-In has provoked extreme suspicion and hostility towards imPorts. If you are an imPort in the De Chima area, REMAIN VIGILANT. If you don't, you might find yourself victim to some local violence. Already businesses have temporarily closed down. And despite some political strategy from Ambassador Hundred, there is plenty of native tension afoot. Tread carefully, imPorts!

FACE TURNED HEAL
The online fundraiser host BUTTKICKER has taken an interest in healer imPorts. If you can heal and you want to help the local community through outreach work, you can contact the charity group HEAL FOR FEELS for your (self-chosen) assignment and $1000 cash in expenses.

A FIGHTING FIGURE
Local Nonah and Heropa retailers have recently released special edition action figures that look like one or two or three familiar faces. None are sold in De Chima, they're still angry.

POWER UP
The following will be seen in local newspapers, UStube, and BlueTube:
What's been going on with the large and in charge superheroine? After her violent outbursts in early June she appeared to have disappeared for some time, resurfacing earlier this month and then again at the recent Swear-In incident. Locals from other Porter cities have mentioned spotting her repeatedly the past couple of weeks in their cities. Rumors have it Power Girl may be establishing a superhero team based on these prolonged visits, although no one can say for sure what she's been looking for or up to in these cities.
