In A.D. 2011, war was beginning.

[pacifisted.livejournal.com]

WHO: 300,000 angry nerds and the Imports who fight them. Tag yourselves in, please!
WHERE: All around, but mostly near the Porter tower
WHEN: 7:30A May 18 - 3:13P May 20, 2011
WARNINGS: There is no fourth wall. Only Zuul. And violence. And probably bad language. And other things as well. JUST ASSUME THAT THIS LOG IS NOT FOR LIL'UNS.
SUMMARY: The Crabhammers declare war on the Porter and, to a lesser extent, the Imports. The battle lasts three days, is horrible in just about every way you can think of, and this is how it goes down.
FORMAT: However people wanna do it!

"There's no environment. Use your imagination. There's no fourth wall, whether it's the first time you've told this story about her life, or the sixth time."

Everything you need to know is here.

She was immediately in the thick of things, dealing out blows like she hadn't been doing so since yesterday. Didn't notice how many there were.

"Long day at the office?" she directed at him, as someone stupid enough to dress like the Scarecrow got a boot to the face. Clearly not too tired to be a smartass either.

"Team training weekend," he retorted dryly, a glimmer of thickly-veiled humor buoyed as the men struggle against one another in confusion amidst the smoke screen. They had a discipline problem, and as much as he would like to take them out into the wilderness for team-building survival exercises, making them all look foolish by beating them senseless was proving immediately more cathartic.

The whip lashed out, disarming a cluster of men. Boys really.

"They don't seem to be learning much."

A Firebug pulled back an arm to swing at Batman, but before he could loft it forward the Dark Knight had vaulted over his shoulders as he stood, the blow connecting heavily with a Ratcatcher that had tried to approach from behind.

"It's a steep curve." Firebug fell as Batman touched down and swiftly cracked them over the back of the head with his elbow. "They already found and raided the cave. Is your place secure?"

[meowminx]

"What?" She was so thrown by that that a Hellhound nearly landed a punch. Nearly. She didn't give him a second chance.

"It should be okay." She was the only imPort living in the building, and only the manager was aware of that. Plus the building had security. Luckily Ramus was there still and not at his warehouse. The whole de-aging thing had thrown him and he hadn't wanted to leave Selina's side yet.

"They're smarter than they are physically able," he replied, proving the point by deliberately allowing a Terrible Trio contingency to outmaneuver him only to make short work of them with his hands, "The cave was secure enough to withstand individuals, not a militia. They knew I'd be in the field when the riots broke out."

They hadn't counted on him having remote control of the cave's systems, however, or for half of the surprises it had waiting for plucky interlopers who were to boldly stupid to realize who they were dealing with. Even so, he'd been compromised lethally. He would have to be less accessible in future.

A few guys in costumes she didn't recognize charged in together. They didn't fare any better than the solo fighters. "I assume you were prepared for this."

She already knew the answer was yes.

"I scuttled the computer so they couldn't get their hands on anything critical, and most of them are already cooling off in a cell," he replied, "I'll need to relocate, but otherwise nothing that can't be handled."

Bruce stood back-to-back against Selina, fists forward as the encircling Crabhammers visibly tired, sagging and struggling for breath. His lips curled wickedly under the cowl.

"Think they realize we've been going easy on them?"

[meowminx]

She grinned in reply. "Let's not tell them. Might hurt their feelings."

The ring of enemies could hear them of course. Maybe why they were so hesitent to attack.
