First Meeting of the Teen Titans!

[theshortestbird]

Who: Red Robin and anyone who received a text message about the Teen Titans.
When: Saturday, March 24th, 9:00 pm.
Where: A warehouse by the docks in Sector 11.
Summary: Red Robin sent out a recruitment message to other teenagers in the city. Anyone who signed up on the OOC post is invited to the meeting. Sign ups are still open! If you'd like your character to be a part of the Teen Titans, respond to the OOC post!
Warnings: Possible language (considering who's coming) and mentions of violence.

The world we live in is in trouble. The companies are the ones in control of a government that doesn’t want to help its people. Kids are getting picked up off the streets and sold into slavery, and that’s not even the worst thing that could happen. There are superheroes here, like Superman, and Batman. But they can’t be everywhere at once, as hard as they try. They need help, but superheroes can’t ask for help.

We can help. We need to take control back of this island. We need to make sure no one else dies out in the darkness. We have the time, the energy, and the know-how to do all of this.

My name is Red Robin. If you’re interested in fighting against injustice and helping people, then come to Sector 11 on the 24th at 9:00 pm. The first meeting of the Teen Titans will take place there, and all questions will be answered.

If you don’t want to join, no problem. This message will delete itself 30 minutes after being opened, no matter what you decide.

That was the text that Tim had sent out to everyone he had considered as a potential applicant for the Teen Titans. He knew that it was going to be difficult to start out; he could remember hearing all about the original Titans and their problems, as well as when Young Justice transformed into the next generation of Titans. But while the city had it's superheroes in Superman and Batman, there were so many people out there who wanted to help, but didn't know how to start.

It had taken Tim some time to plan everything. He had made the deal with the warehouse owner; if they could keep people from stealing anything from them, then the Titans could have their own space. That was easy enough to do, of course. The hard part came after, when he had to start transporting equipment into it. It wasn't going to be close to what they had back home, but it had a nice set of computers. A few couches and places to sit, a TV that they could connect to the computers. A little medical spot that had a lot of First Aid kits. It would work, for now.

But the first meeting was going to be down in the bottom half of the warehouse. Large, empty space with a few boxes around; it made for a good meeting spot. That's where he would explain everything, dressed in his Red Robin costume. No one would know who he really was.

ooc: Some ground rules! If someone is wearing a mask, you cannot know who they are. If your character decides not to join the Titans, that's perfectly all right! But they will not be able to tell anyone else where the place is located, nor who was there and what was said. Leave all sabotage efforts for another day, guys. All electronic devices are disabled as soon as you get within twenty feet of the warehouse. No one will be allowed upstairs for right now.

Action tagging is a go! There will be 4 sections for everyone to reply to, and tagging other people is expected, so have fun making some new CR!

Sign In. While back in the day, they would have used a pen and paper, this was a different era. Tim had a few different tablets out, so once the person signed in, the tablet would send the information to his own computers and then locked it so that no one else would ever know.

Simple, right?

Introduction

[theshortestbird]

[Tim looked out at the group of kids assembled. It felt good, like he was back home. Even if Robin had taken his place, in a way, he knew that he could always count on his friends. That's what he wanted, here. He wanted to count on his friends, and to let everyone else count on his friends. This would be good. Wearing his cowl and cape, he made sure to keep his expression serene.]

I'm Red Robin. If you're here, it's because you received a text from me concerning the state of this city, and you felt like you could help. That we can help.

[He crossed his arm across his chest, obscuring the Red Robin symbol on his chest for a moment.]

Back home, we had a group called the Teen Titans. They were kids, and teenagers, and we fought crime all over the world. Now, obviously we can't do that here, but this city needs to be helped. The police aren't doing anything, and while vigilantes like Superman and Batman are around, they can't be everywhere at once. We work as a team, and we fight as a team.

Questions

[theshortestbird]

So, if you want to join, we'd love to have you. If you have any questions, just ask. If you don't want to join, then leave now. I'm not going to stand here and argue with you about your feelings on vigilantism, or crime in the city. We're going to have fun, but at the core, this is a group dedicated to helping people. We just do it with a mask on instead of having a badge.

Questions?

Questions

[doeswhathewants]

"Do we have to wear masks?" Purses his mouth and considers. "And we do our own costumes, right? You're not going to institute a spandex color code rule? And why Titans? They weren't terribly great, the Greeks struck them down and- well, everyone knows the Greek pantheon is hardly anything to brag about- quite a bit of inbreeding there."

....he waits a long moment, "That's all.- Oh! Lethal force, where do we stand on that? And- and turning people into animals? Is that a no?"

[mighty_pirate]

[Guybrush hugs himself against the chill still lingering in the air. He's not in costume. The idea of "Super Heroes" is only vague to him. As a kid he'd had Porcelain Power Pirates. Were they super heroes?

He tilts his head at the thought. Maybe. Heroes as a concept were alien to his home, where people who disagreed with tyranny just sailed off to the places the law could not reach. The long arm of the law wasn't very long in the Caribbean.]

I have a question!

[He raises his hand]

Do we get paid for this?

[allucinator]

[Jack sits in the back, looking a little doubtful. A cigarette (nicotine free, sadly) is clenched between his teeth.]

How exactly do we stay organized? There's a lotta crime in the city. How we gonna cover it all?

[worldhaditsway]

Is the city still cracking down on vigilantes? Not that I think it should stop us, but do you have any plans for that? What to do or what not to do if the police get involved?

[graceful_cutter]

[A slight girl with a purple hood over her head and eyes is dressed strangely in some of the frilliest clothing ever. She looks almost out of place with all the fighters here.]

We seem to be a rather large group. Do we tackle incidents all together?

After the Meeting

[theshortestbird]

[At the end of the meeting, those who decided to join were given out special Teen Titan communicators. Tim would be able to contact them, day or night, and would know in the city where the specific Titan was. It helped when there was an emergency that needed to be fixed, and the closest Titan could fix it.

This was also the best time to come up to anyone you saw at the meeting and ask some questions.]
