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!

[Should he assume that, Amy would make sure to correct his misconception.]

My father taught me everything he knew about the blade. It is a skill I've taken pride in refining.

[inthejunk]

[Yeah, he usually needs to be hit a few times before he stops being stupid.]

Huh. So your Dad was a master? That's pretty cool.

[graceful_cutter]

[She tilts her head a bit, how does she respond to this...]

I still learn from him, even until now.

[A little awkward pause here...]

How about your father?

[inthejunk]

Is he here?

[Yosuke actually glances around briefly, before he realizes that no one in the room is over 30, and feels a little silly.]

Uh, here in the city, I mean?

[He snorts quietly, amused, at the question about his own father, though, and shakes his head.]

My Dad manages a department store. He definitely didn't teach me how to fight. That was someone else.

[graceful_cutter]

Yes, he is here in the city with me.

[She tilts her head a bit.]

Who taught you how to fight, then?

[inthejunk]

That's pretty lucky. It's the first time I've heard of someone's parents getting warped here too, you know?

[He things about how to answer that next question carefully. The whole secret identity thing is clearly going to take some work.]

A friend has been helping me.

[graceful_cutter]

Many have said the same about how fortunate it is for my father to be here. I suppose then that your friend has experience in combat?

[inthejunk]

Yeah. Way too much experience, actually. The guy doesn't know how to relax anymore.

[Shrug. Don't worry, he's on this.]

Anyway, it's definitely true. You'd better double your offerings, or whatever it is that you do, because I haven't ever heard of that happening until now. The closest I've seen is someone's brother or sister appearing. And I know one girl who has an uncle here...

[graceful_cutter]

Hm. I believe I show my gratitude well enough by taking care of my father while he is here.

[inthejunk]

You live with him?

[graceful_cutter]

Yes, I do.

[inthejunk]

[Lucky.]

Wow. That's definitely the first time I've heard someone say that.

[graceful_cutter]

Do people you know not tend to live with their relatives?

[inthejunk]

They don't even have them around here. I only know one person here from where I came from-well, two I guess. But I only just met that guy not long before I came here, and the other one I never met at all in my own country.

['My own world' still sounds too strange.]

[graceful_cutter]

Hm... I see... it's a strange thing, how the core seems to bring together people related to those already within the island.

[inthejunk]

That's the opposite of what I just said! ...But I guess it's kind of true.

[graceful_cutter]

Then we can suppose that the core does pull people in randomly, but often, it seems to also attract people connected to each other.

[inthejunk]

I don't think it's all that random, actually. A lot of people have powers before they get here, right? It seems to me like it finds something specific to...uh. Pull. You know?

[graceful_cutter]

Hm... now I see why there are so many looking into what makes the Core tick.

[inthejunk]

That and the whole thing where it's keeping us here with crazy magical sic-fi barriers that kill people when they try to leave. And the Darkness. There are plenty of reasons to be interested in the core, it's just a bad idea to advertise it.

[graceful_cutter]

[She nods.] Yes, I wholeheartedly agree.

[inthejunk]

But hey, if you ever want to train sometime, you can definitely give me a call.

[graceful_cutter]

Alright. I shall keep that in mind. I appreciate the offer. Not many are up to a good spar.

[inthejunk]

Really? Weird. You'd think people would be itching to use their powers.

[graceful_cutter]

You believe so? Are you itching to use yours?
