Detroit Logs

[16:51]	Pink|GM	So, Dee is crashing in Brittney's parents' house again- her boyfriend's house got damaged in those fires up in Grosse Pointe. Okay, it isn't all bad, having her sister living at home- Brittney will be getting her driver's license soon, but it is pretty nice to have someone willing to take her places.
[16:53]	Pink|GM	She had a few people to visit at the hospital, anyway, apparently- neighbors or something, so she was cool about taking her along on her mission of mercy. A student from her class had gotten... mutilated, in the fire, apparently it was pretty amazingly horrible... And now Brittney got to give him the good news- they had decided to put his name into the ...
[16:55]	Pink|GM	... ballot for the Homecoming Court. A pretty big step up for a wannabe thug who hung out with Purple assholes, so he'd better appreciate it.
[16:59]	Pink|GM	Katie, meanwhile, has had an interesting day herself- she'd barely gotten to school in time, and had ended up being late anyway when she had set off the metal detector at the door. That had been pretty weird- and increasingly awkward- until Kelsey of all people had gotten her out of it, telling the school that it must be shrapnel or something from the fire.
[17:01]	Pink|GM	It is a good thing that those healing wounds all over her forearms still look a lot worse than they are- all scabbed up, so a quick glance had indeed been enough to get her a warning to get a medical note. Of course, after that it was pretty hard to avoid people asking her about the party- barely anyone at all had asked her about the fucking soccer team,
[17:02]	Pink|GM	though, so that was nice at least.
[17:09]	Pink|GM	Julie Starr is still not ready for visitors, but Danny is apparently doing... well would be an exaggeration but he's managed to keep two limbs. There'll be a bit of a wait, though, and so Katie finds herself cooling her heels- the place is much less crowded than this morning as space had been found for everyone, though there are still a lot more people than..
[17:15]	Pink|GM	... usual. And, standing out in more ways than one, Kate finds herself sitting there as Brittney Calloway from school strides in- student council and pretty close to the top of the social food chain, she stands out at school like Ballon did at the Purples party. She'd never given Katie any shit, though.
[17:16]	Pink|GM	Talking to the nurses and presumably getting the same instructions Katie had, she heads her way...||
[17:17]	Mishie|Brit	...
[17:19]	Mishie|Brit	Ugh, of course I have to wait for him to finish whatever he's doing.  Probably trying to get the nurses to give him a sponge bath or whatever.  Why couldn't I have just called him or something else, instead of having to go to this hospital with all these sick people in it, god I'll probably have to look at his burns and not gag at them.  Gross.
[17:24]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney then notices that soccer chick hanging out nearby.  The one that people are saying is going to quit the team or whatever.  Not really her problem but there could be a juicy story behind that one...  As such, Brittney puts her Winning Smile (tm) on and goes to greet her.
[17:25]	Mishie|Brit	"Hi there!  Did you also come to visit poor Danny?  When I heard about what happened to him I just knew I had to be the one to give him some bit of good news in this terrible situation."
[17:25]	Mishie|Brit	||
[17:30]	Thalia|Katie	Katie was STILL tired. Then again, she survived a cape fight, gained super powers, and killed some pigeons. Seeing through things was still taking some getting used to, and it hadn't been that long since she was in the hospital herself.
[17:34]	Thalia|Katie	Peeking through things was kind of neat, though. Weren't you supposed to imagine everyone naked when needing confidence for something? For her, it was easy now. Keeping track of people with the other half of her powers kept her distracted. Trying to figure out how people were going to move without getting the needles in her arms, but when Britt comes in; she gives her a friendly smile back. "Yeah, I visited him when I was here after the
[17:34]	Thalia|Katie	party, and I said I would keep coming back." She looked Brittney up and down with her x-ray vision. She had to practice, right?||
[17:39]	Mishie|Brit	...
[17:40]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney nods along at what Katie is saying as she moves to sit next to her, tucking her bag underneath the chair as she does so.  "That's so nice of you to do that for him, especially with what's happened to you, are you close to him then?"
[17:40]	Mishie|Brit	||
[17:42]	Thalia|Katie	...
[17:45]	Pink|GM	Push up bra, but she could have told that without her power.||
[17:47]	Thalia|Katie	Katie tries to maintain a bit of a Poker face, at least part of her making the promise to keep visiting him was her own guilt. Not many people set off a bomb in a party. "Relatively. Similar circles..." Katie makes a vague, sweeping gesture that reveals her own wounds on her arms that she moves to quickly cover. "And what happened to me?"||
[17:52]	Mishie|Brit	...
[17:52]	[INFO]	There is nothing to tab-complete. Use F6 to cycle through the user list, input box and the chat output.
[18:00]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney snorts at Katie's comments, "Right, just friends then~  Anyway, pretty much like, everybody knows that you were in that huge cape thing last night and that you're either some crazy badass who doesn't care about having her arms messed up, or just plain crazy."  Brittney pauses for a moment to look over Katie, "And lets be honest, the fact that you willingly went outside looking like...
[18:00]	Mishie|Brit	...you do right now is putting you pretty close to column B.  Buuuuuuut, because of circumstances I'll let you off lightly this time."
[18:00]	Mishie|Brit	||
[18:01]	Thalia|Katie	...
[18:07]	Thalia|Katie	"Ahh yeah, the Malfire party crashing." Katie leans back in the seat a bit. "Is that what everyone is saying? I have to wonder about what everyone else is saying about me with regards to that... Last night I got shot at, stuck in the middle of a cape fight, and then some girl in a gas mask set off a bomb. I think everything came out alright." Katie actually rolls up her sleeves to show Brittney her 'wounds' while a large grin slowly
[18:07]	Thalia|Katie	overtakes her face. "I think I got rather lucky considering... everything. "||
[18:13]	Pink|GM	Huh, that's news. Though it is less interesting than some of the other rumors, like some topless bitch setting fires.||
[18:14]	Mishie|Brit	(what)
[18:14]	Mishie|Brit	...Brittney tries to hide a flinch when she sees the scars on Katie's arms.  "Y'know I'm
[18:14]	Mishie|Brit	(fuck)
[18:14]	Mishie|Brit	... *
[18:19]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney tries to hide a flinch when she sees the scars on Katie's arms and ends up failing miserably.  "Y'know I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be too hard to cover those up a bit... or a lot.  Yeah, you should probably hide those up so nobody has to see them."
[18:26]	Mishie|Brit	...
[18:27]	Mishie|Brit	"Because no offense, some people may think you're a badass for having some scars, but pretty much everybody else is just going to think that you're some sort of freak that just wants to weird people out."  Brittney eventually managed to get the look of disgust off of her face, and then pulls her bag out from underneath her chair and starts to rummage through it, and whatever it is she was...
[18:27]	Mishie|Brit	...looking for, instead of finding it she instead pulls out a a pink postit note with a big heart and IOU written on it.  "Ugh, of course that bitch stole it, typical.  Anyway, if you're really so helpless that you're wandering around looking like this, I guess I can help you out with looking like you shouldn't be back here."
[18:27]	Mishie|Brit	||
[18:29]	Thalia|Katie	...
[18:37]	Thalia|Katie	Katie unrolls her sleeves again with a smirk. "It is why I'm wearing the long sleeves. My arms got the worst of it, I think." She would mention that she was technically already healed, but that would definitely set off some alarms. "Oh, thanks for reminding me... I'll have to see about getting a note since something set off the metal detectors this morning." She still had no idea what THAT was about. "Besides, unless something comes up,
[18:37]	Thalia|Katie	I'm planning on heading home when I'm done here. I'm running off like no sleep."||
[18:40]	Mishie|Brit	...
[18:46]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney visibly relaxes once Katie's arms are covered up, and takes a moment to compose herself before talking.  "Well sure you could just cover it up that way, but that's just so... limiting, especially if you wanted to put something nice on for Danny~"
[18:46]	Mishie|Brit	||
[18:47]	Thalia|Katie	...
[18:55]	Thalia|Katie	Nothing wrong with a scar from a hard-earned win. That's what she wanted to say, but no way was she going to out herself as the bomber. "Well, my arms are mostly the problem. Though, what are you implying?" She manages an eyebrow raise at the popular girl.||
[18:58]	Mishie|Brit	..
[19:00]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney somehow starts to smile even further, "Weeeeell~  From what I've been hearing, the two of you have been getting pretty close, everybody knows about it.  And you even admitted that this isn't the first time that you've come here, something's going on between you two~"
[19:01]	Mishie|Brit	||
[19:02]	Thalia|Katie	...
[19:07]	Thalia|Katie	Yeah, I set off the bomb that did some of this. I feel horrifyingly guilty. "Kels was trying to set us up before all this. Like I said, he's a friend. I think I'm the center of half the rumors in the school. I was hearing one from last night that I was a cape." Katie manages to not-so-subtly roll her eyes.||
[19:15]	Mishie|Brit	"See I just knew that there was something going on.  Isn't it so much easier to just tell me things~  I'll find out anyway."
[19:15]	Mishie|Brit	||
[19:20]	Pink|GM	...
[19:28]	Pink|GM	||
[19:28]	Mishie|Brit	(what)
[19:35]	Thalia|Katie	"It was a busy night. With everything, just... don't take anything your hear at face value. No one really knows what happened... and I think the 'crazy badass me', as you called it, is just part of the weirdness going on." A genuine smile goes back on her face. ||
[19:40]	Pink|GM	Most likely, she took a few hits to the head and the doctors were too busy to deal with it.||
[19:40]	Mishie|Brit	...
[19:42]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney pauses for a moment, looking actually serious for once.  "Yeah, my sister's house burned down in what happened last night and now she's back with us for a while, and I'm just glad that she wasn't hurt or anything..."  Brittney trails off for a moment, before putting on her usual smile.  "But I wasn't joking about what I said before, if you need help with anything just ask okay?  And...
[19:42]	Mishie|Brit	...not just with hiding the scars, odds are the teachers will care more about what I say than what you do.  This isn't charity or anything though, you'll owe me for this~  Starting with telling aaaaaaaall about all the juicy shit you've been involved in lately, people have been paying almost as much attention to you as they have to me y'know, and that isn't right."
[19:42]	Mishie|Brit	||
[19:43]	Thalia|Katie	...
[19:54]	Thalia|Katie	Katie pauses for a second. She almost forgot that the nails thing was a bigger secret than the 'not playing soccer this year' thing. "Honestly, seeing the crazy topless lady at the party? I'm surprised things went as okay as they did. I'm even surprised I didn't get a concussion from the explosion." Katie tried to go over safe, yet juicy subjects. That list was slim. "Well, I was dropping the soccer team this year... I'm sure that was
[19:54]	Thalia|Katie	the rumor that started people talking about me and you know how things can spiral..." Fuck, how was THAT the best topic to talk about?||
[20:01]	Mishie|Brit	...
[20:04]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney shudders, "Ugh yeah, I heard there was some naked lady running around and some of the creeps were talking about how they wish they had been there to take pictures or something, of course the idiots don't care about the fire or explosions or whatever.  Although sounds like you were right at ground zero, especially with all of those capes running around doing shit, you're pretty lucky...
[20:04]	Mishie|Brit	...that you're not in there with Danny right now."
[20:10]	Mishie|Brit	"And hey, if you keep giving me all this fun info, I'll even try to get people to stop giving you shit at school."
[20:10]	Mishie|Brit	||
[20:12]	Thalia|Katie	"Honestly, I think the topless lady was going for a body count. Why else would she be in a place like that?" Katie rubbed her eyes a bit. She was still exhausted from that whole mess. "Fire was from her, the explosion was from something else. And I missed a good chunk of the direct action because when they figured out something was going on I went upstairs to stay out of the firing line." Getting painted as a coward has got to be better
[20:12]	Thalia|Katie	than anything else. Especially since that was her initial plan before things got complicated. ||
[20:19]	Mishie|Brit	...
[20:25]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney's nods along as Katie talks, "Sounds like the entire thing was just hell, and you definitely made the right choice getting away from all that.  I've heard stories about what happens to people that get involved in cape business, and well, they're not really happy ones..."  This was WAY better than what she had been expecting to get out this hospital visit and Brittney knew that if...
[20:25]	Mishie|Brit	...she wanted to get any more out of Katie she would definitely have to come through with her side of things.  "Y'know, if you want to, you can hang out with me at school when you come back.  You've got enough going on right now and you don't really need to deal with any more of that shit at school."
[20:25]	Mishie|Brit	||
[20:38]	Thalia|Katie	When she made her toast to new friends, she didn't expect them to come from this angle. Given, she was reasonably sure the only reason Brittney made the offer was because Katie was in the middle of all the insanity going on, but still. It felt nice. Being able to grow her circle of friends back past Kelsey and the thugs was something of a goal. "Yeah, actually I think I'll take you up on that. I'll make sure I'm dressed less
[20:38]	Thalia|Katie	embarrassingly tomorrow, then." Though, one thing Brittney said was nagging at her. "So, now you've got me curious... what have you heard about people getting involved in cape business?"||
[20:42]	Mishie|Brit	...
[20:54]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney nervously glances around the waiting room, and when she sees that nobody is paying attention to them she continue "I'm no expert on things, but well, sure things aren't as bad as back in New York with some of the crazier gangs running around there, but at least we had Legend looking out for us.  Here?  There's hospital getting attacked and things exploding all over the place.  Like...
[20:54]	Mishie|Brit	...I said before, my sister was lucky that it was only her house that burned down last night."
[20:54]	Mishie|Brit	||
[20:56]	Thalia|Katie	...
[21:03]	Thalia|Katie	Katie just learned something new about Brittney. "From what I've seen, it just seems some capes just... lose it when they get their powers." She was specifically thinking about last night when her power was giving her instruction on how to take out Dakota, but there seemed other examples over the past day. "And I was gone before any heroes showed up at the fire... I know two were here with some blue guy. The guy who got shot out of a
[21:03]	Thalia|Katie	sewer was walking around and... whatever he was doing involved him going to a couple of beds." ||
[21:07]	Mishie|Brit	...
[21:11]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney continues to nods along, biting her lip as she tries to think over who all of these capes are.  "Gotta say, sounds like you were really able to get a great view of things last night, although I'm glad you got out of there before things got too crazy."
[21:11]	Mishie|Brit	||
[21:16]	Thalia|Katie	Katie had a better view than anyone last night. After all, she was the one who set up the bomb. Though, the view right now wasn't terrible either. "Yeah, hell of a night. I just have to hope there aren't any repeats anytime soon."||
[21:21]	Mishie|Brit	...
[21:28]	Mishie|Brit	Brittney sits in silence for a while, not really wanting to continue on such a morbid topic, but at the same time, unable to resist the apparent goldmine of information that Katie seemed to be.
[21:32]	Mishie|Brit	"Y'know, if you want to talk about what happened, I'm more than willing to listen.  Sounds like you went through a lot."
[21:32]	Mishie|Brit	||
[21:38]	Thalia|Katie	Katie bites her lip gently and shakes her head. "No, I think that's most of what needs to be talked about. Oh, and the blue guy stole all the carrots in the cafeteria, he said they were great for growing algae. " Hopefully that convinces Britt she's out of information from last night. ||
[21:43]	Pink|GM	...
[21:46]	Pink|GM	"Girls?" interrupts a nurse who looks like she's been through the wringer herself, though she has a very pleasant voice. "Your friend is ready, if you want to talk to him for a couple of minutes." Katie would recognize her from this morning, so either she's pulling a lot of shifts, or... "but don't tire him out," she adds with a slight quirk to her mouth.|||
