You say you're wrong, you're wrong

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! ♥ ]

[ He scoffs and shakes his head. ]

Better than what? Better than panic reactions from a bunch of officials who think the only way to deal with fear is by locking people up? This is how they work, it’s what they always do. It doesn’t matter whether the terrorists they’re dealing with have different genes, religion, or species. They deal with it by trying to look stronger and pretend like they aren't panicking. Truth is none of them were ready for this. They couldn't be. No one's ever ready for it, that's why it works.

[ And it is working, obviously. Because turning everyone against each other is exactly what'll help the Skrulls. ]

[futurebatwoman]

Feel a bit strongly about it, huh.

[ she crosses her arms. ] But you're right, at least somewhat.

[hellionated]

I don't like people being locked up without a trial. Call me crazy.

[futurebatwoman]

I won't. I'm not thrilled about it either.

[hellionated]

That and it’s a distraction. All of us wasting time, locking up innocent people? They’ll eat this up. It’s exactly what they’ll want us to do.

[futurebatwoman]

It probably is. But we've been playing into their hands pretty regularly since this whole mess started, why stop now?

[hellionated]

At least we weren't about to lock up people who could take them on.

This is all because those idiots kidnapped people and hurt them for no freaking reason. Stupid, all of it. All of them. They're the ones who need locking up.

[futurebatwoman]

It's being investigated, I hear. Pretty sure Spider-man and Batman are working on it. They might get locked up yet.

[hellionated]

Yeah, so it's gonna be a real smack in the ass of that investigation if anyone votes Spiderman and Batman into jail.

Not that we have anyone who'd do that. Except for like, all of their supervillain style enemies.

[futurebatwoman]

I don't see either of them here in costume, so hopefully none of their villains know their civilian identities.

[hellionated]

Whatever. You know what I mean. They gave criminals amnesty to come here and cast votes alongside the people who put them there. That’s never gonna end well.

[futurebatwoman]

... No.

It isn't.

[hellionated]

[ He lets out an annoyed huff and looks back towards the Mayor. ]

Guess we'll see.
