"Do you see those bushes?"
"Yes, what about them?"
"Only yesterday I've seen them get torched by Rikti plasma blasts... and now they're fine..."
"Weird..."
"You're telling me..."
"It's probably those plant ladies of the Garden Jewels"
"Oh, they're hot... Especially the tall blond... I bought a ring for my girlfriend there"
"But you don't have a girlfriend!"
"I know... I guess I'll sell it back... or ask her out.."

"Hey, you spoken to Greggs yet?"
"Naw man, ain't seen 'im. Why, sup?"
"He says he was on patrol the other night when a Rikti death squad attacked him. Says he'd be dead now if it hadn't been for the archer that saved his hide."
"What archer? You mean like that Crimson guy?"
"No. He says this guy was different. Wore a hood 'n' all, but he seemed younger, fiercer. Says the Rikti were almost on him when the air was filled with arrows. Next thing he knows, the Rikti are all dead and this archer just nods at him before disappearing over a rooftop..."
"He report it in?"
"Yeah, but the Commisioner has wrote it off as another of that Crimson fella's acts of courage. Commisioner's got himself some wood over that crimson hood guy."
"Heh...yeah. Say, wanna grab a doughnut over in Faultline?"
"Sure, you drive, I'll buy."

Felt that this was a little more appropriate sitting in this thread, if not the feel free to tell me where to stick it.

IC bits:
Paragons front-line crumbles!
It seemed as if the end was far too clearly in sight yesterday for the Paragon Super-group 'The Militia'. After an intense week of public-brawling and unflattering media-attention it seems as though even their benefactors 'Wayne industries' have decided to pull the plug.
Wayne Industries, originally fronted by the late Sir Michael Wayne, passed a motion on the 20th of august this year, to liquidate all of the companys assets in light of Sir Waynes recent death. Wayne industries had battled a valiant year throughout the many disasters that befell Paragon city and it was believed that the company had even held afloat during the latest Rikti invasion but after Sir Wayne was tragically killed during a Rikti attack, an emergency meeting was held and the decision to liquidate: an action that was always halted by Sir Wayne himself, was agreed. The closure date is believed to be as early as September this year.
It's held that Wayne Industries, and in particular Sir Wayne himself, were the sole financers for 'the militia' due to their past record of outstanding super-heroics. Sir Michael was once quoted last year as saying, "these are some of the finest men and women this city could ever hope to protect them. They are self-less, ever-giving and true examples of what a hero should live up to. This company is proud to support these fine individuals in their never-ending battle".
As it seems though, the glory days of super-heroics are over. The world - 'the militia' in particular- will have to slowly and painfully adjust to that. With riots amongst their ranks and suspected-murderers in their head-quarters, one would feel that this is simply the wake-up call these "heroes" are long over-due. With so much turmoil behind there closed doors, the city itself is beginning to feel left-aside by the controversy caused by these events. And also by those who swore to protect them.
For Militia front-man 'Britanic', the future must be an unsettling place: is he asking himself, we wonder, What would Wayne do?".

((Dude, I know the media in Paragon City is hardly ever accurate, but not a single word in your above article makes sense. If you had done some background research, or contacted Militia leaders for information, you would know that there was never any IC connection between Micheal Wayne and the public, let alone between him and the Agency; he has always been a distant man with little affiliation with the Militia. I suggest you adjust a few paragraphs in your article and I heartedly advice the community to IC-ly discard Kara Trent's news reporting as nothing but jargon; otherwise you will be left confused both IC and OOC. Thank you.))
(( okay, seems i'll take a slap on the wrist for that. What i find doesnt make sense tho is that if the guy was such a hermit - as in the fact that he never spoke to the public - Why would he fund an SG? And again, if he was such the Howard Hughes-type, how did he consistantly block actions from his board and shareholders? They could have easily folded the company from underneath him, a chairman cannot exercise power over his board or shareholders if it is detremental to the company, especially in oncoming financial crisis. Gimmie a few days to humbley sort out a retrection condemming my sources but i feel that it's a little unfair to simply pass it off as jargon over the matter of what i imagine will be most likely the quote from Wayne. Thanks for the input tho, Keeps us all straight.))
((Ah, so now (after printing) you want to know about Micheal Wayne and his methods, well its inappropriate for this thread; I shall PM you with the answers to your questions shortly. I think I've made my point clear enough here and so will make no further posts concerning the matter, in the hope of avoiding further bickering. Thanx))
((indeed it could have been avoided by simply PMing the artical to the play that has created that bit of back ground to get details, rather than posting regardless.))
"Okay, I'm back"
"What took you so long"
"Well as I was coming out of the door, Dr Mechano shoved me aside, went in and slammed the door. I asked him what his problem was"
"He probably needed to go. He is kinda old. That couldn't have taken that long."
"Well as I was coming back this woman in a leather kill-jill suit scared the bejeezus out o' me. That look she had could've melted titanium. I'm sure I'd seen her before as well which is why it tok so long.."
<a slight pause between the two of them>
"You were checking out her [censored], weren't you?"
