You say you're wrong, you're wrong

[viced]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHERE: City Hall
WHEN: 7:00 PM, EST
WARNINGS: RAMPANT CHAOS
SUMMARY: This is the townhall meeting, where everyone can come and show up, and wave accusations and shout to their little heart's content. They can also discuss skrull accusations in a calm manner if they really want.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice!



[ And the large room where the City Council met was open for business. The walls were lined with seats, there were rows and rows of seats, nice lighting, and even a couple tankards of coffee open for business. Look, he wasn't a complete monster! There was security, but they remained silent and observed, instructed only to interfere if things were escalating to violence, and only then. Most of the Mayor's staff were already there before people started to arrive, and they were sitting in most of the seats reserved for the City council. There wasn't music, but it would be a good half hour to forty five minutes before the actual proceedings got started.

When they did, it was all about an open forum. ]

[ooc; we're going to get the log up early! The plan is for everyone to go ahead and have fun tagging, and the ooc post will be up later tonight! ♥ ]

[armor is a great statement, isn't it? Nevermind that it's Geddoe's daily default. He's there along the wall, arms folded, grouchyface turned up to eleven. No flinching, Jaime]

[scarabsuited]

[how about double-taking?

and a little bit of a wince in the eyes at the sword? because that's happening.

but who is he to criticize when he's a walking arsenal? besides...

he takes steps back until he, too is against the wall. a glance over (and up; stupid tall people) at him.]

I remember your post from the other night or so. The one about, y'know, not being a friggin' crazy person about all this.

[trueltning_fury]

Mm? [eyebrow raise in your general direction] Good to know someone actually listened. I got long-winded.

[scarabsuited]

[his mouth cracks a crooked smile, head tilting.] I think more people listen than would rather say they do at all. [a shrug.] And I guess there's just a lot of short attention spans out there.

[beat.

extending a hand.] Blue Beetle.

[trueltning_fury]

[clasping that hand in a quick but firm grip] Geddoe.

I only wish I had more to offer in terms of actually detecting or discovering these...creatures. It's the one thing my current tactic lacks.

[scarabsuited]

No tech, huh? Or...[hands waggle:] magic or whatever?

[trueltning_fury]

My magic is limited. Nothing like what Zatanna or some of the other wizards use. [peer] ...you?

[scarabsuited]

[waggling hands stop, held up in a kind of surrender gesture.] Yeah, I've...I have the means, but [one hand drops, the other goes behind his neck.] I'm still trying to figure out how to get what I need it to do. I've never had to scour around for shapeshifters before, so...

[trueltning_fury]

Did you speak with Stark at all, or examine the dead one he has?

[scarabsuited]

Oh, yeah. [tapping his temple.] He's on speed-dial. I got some specs from him I'm working with, so hopefully I'll be able to come up with something pretty quick.

If not...I'll probably have to reach out to some other techy guys I know. Two heads better than one and all that.

[trueltning_fury]

Given the situation... [with a bob of his chin toward the room at large] ...I should think the sooner, the better.

[scarabsuited]

I know... [letting his hand drop. he folds his arms with a sigh.] I've got a timetable, but depending on how things go here...might have to just chuck it out the window and get everything done yesterday.

[trueltning_fury]

Indeed. [and he fully expects that'll be your lot, Jaime. Oops?]

[scarabsuited]

[yeah, well. NO PRESSURE.

exhale.
