The Society of Justice: A Super Hero Roleplay

[blaze96]

"Thank you Golem, I tried. Now it's up to them though." Richard said as the crowd was relatively silent. There were a few tense moments where the nobody shouted, but a few people spoke or murmured to one another. Milligan finally broke the tension when he spoke up.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say prove it Masterson." Richard was already expecting this reaction, he and the others should have known words alone wouldn't be enough.

"Alright, I'll have the treatment facility up and running within the day." Richard boldly declared before following up.

"I also suggest you make sure that airport is up and running, because soon enough supplies and specialists will be pouring in." He finished by putting his helmet on and flying off in the direction of the treatment plant, already making calls.

"I hope you are all ready to pitch in, no way me and Katie are going to be able to do this alone." Richard said into the communicator.

The mob didn't leave, but they weren't shouting and they weren't attacking. The simply looked at everyone out front expectantly, it was obvious they were begrudgingly giving the Society another chance.

"Nice job Rich, Dona, Tommy," Garrus said into the comm, heading back down to the lounge. He wasn't too sure on what he was supposed to do. 'Where would I be useful?' he thought as he paced around, deciding to give Cillian a call and tell him to get himself and Patriot over here so they can discuss the current events.

Spoiler: OOC

Busy, busy these past few days. I'll be on most of the day today though.

"Don't worry Rich, i'll be ready to help whenever it'll be possible." Jason replied as he walked around the crowd and snuck into the back entrance of the Promenade.

"Just tell me what to do, and i'm on it." He added, enabling his armor, just in case.

Richard got on the comm.

"Well the first thing to do would be to stop hiding in the promenade. The next thing I would suggest is getting rubble cleared from roads, aiding in fixing the damage caused by Aaron and mine's fight, and generally helping out around the city."

"I suppose I should start mass-producing medicinal herbs and stuff?" Katie asked through her comm, moving to the front door in order to head out to the gardens. If Richard wanted food and medicine distributed soon, she had best get started, she figured. The gardens would most likely create enough fruit and vegetables for a large number of people, but it wouldn't be enough. Katie thought she would have to create multiple harvests if she had to provide enough for a lot of citizens.

 

[blaze96]

"That would be nice, but don't strain yourself. I already have people bringing food and medicine by the truckload. Maybe bring people back to the garden and see what they want or need then grow it. Use a bit more of a personal touch, should help individuals and those within seeing range feel a bit better about us."

Richard said as he arrived at the water treatment plant and set about repairing the power wires with his suit. Within a few minutes the pumps to the water treatment facility were back up and running. The city had taken care of the oil in the water the night before, so clean water began pumping out of the facility.

 

[CounterAttack]

"All right. Cheers for the advice." Katie stepped out into the gardens and made her way out to the crowds. She turned her comm's microphone off - no-one really needed to hear her addressing the mob - then pulled her hood off to allow them to see her face, and got up onto the stage. "Um, hi," she said, slightly nervous at the impromptu speaking. "My name's Katie, and I'll be helping to produce food and medicine for the city." As she spoke, she formed a quick plan as to how she was going to do this.

"Now, here's how this is going to work. I'm going to let a small number of you into the gardens at a time, and you can tell me what fruit, vegetables and medicine you would like me to grow. I'll produce what you want, and you can have it free of charge. Nothing illegal, though." She smiled at that. "If this is going to work, I'll need full co-operation from everyone. Sound good?"

 

[blaze96]

The crowd began to form a line in front of the stage. They didn't like being told to wait for vital medicines, but they knew they would get nothing without cooperation. Murmurs went through the line of who this person was, how they could help, and what they were going to get.

Richard checked the systems of the facility to make sure contaminants were at acceptable levels or non-existent. The water was improving and he left the facility to oversee the delivery of food and medicine to the populace from a the culture center near the promenade. It had the space to handle large amounts of people in an orderly fashion. The trucks arrived and he divided the culture center into three areas clearly marked with signs. People could go to all three or one of the areas designated for food, water, and medicine.

" Alright, I'll get to clearing rubble after I pick up a new suit." Golem walked back inside the Promenade, when he was sure no one else could see him he took off his mask. Tommy breathed a sigh of relief, he went to the lounge to get some water and then he noticed Dona sitting at the computer. He check the website out over her shoulder then passed her a note,

 Should add a forum, but please for the love of god, not an RP section... just don't.

 

[CounterAttack]

Katie got down from the stage and gestured to the first group of about ten people. "If you'll come with me, we can get started," she said cheerfully as she entered the gardens. The group followed her, and the line moved up to fill the empty space. Once inside, Katie turned to the group.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, what would you like me to grow for you? One at a time, please," she added before she could be bombarded by a ton of requests.

 

[Pm0n3y]

Jason made his way towards the lounge, overhearing Dona and Tommy along the way. Something Dona said made him raise a eyebrow.

"Houses? don't you mean "housed"?" He asked her as he took a look at the site they were developing.

Started full time job. Will be able to post only in evenings. And this RP is awesome

Simon appeared behind Khrys, his eyes looking over the notes she had crumpled

"What were those?"

He asked curiously

The team worked through the day with no interruptions in helping the citizens of Nova City. Richard manned the aid stations in the culture center, Dona entertained the people waiting in line to receive herbs and food from Katie, and Tommy cleaned the streets. Everyone on the team did something to pitch in and help, even if it was only providing someone to talk to to the others and passing food and drink off to them when they asked. For those doing the labor, the day was long and tiresome. Eventually the sun began to set and the last of the crowds went away, the news reports about the Society that day were decidedly different from those of just that morning. Reports of the Society ranged from repentant to helpful, with only a few negative words to be found, and only of the actions of that day.

Richard walked back into the Promenade well after the sun had gone down, he changed out of the armor and back into a regular suit. He sat down on the couch after grabbing his last bottle of absinthe and began to drink.

"If anyone tells me I didn't do anything today, I'm going to kill them with my bare hands." He said as he flipped through the channels, skipping past the news reports as quickly as possible. Between the cameras that taped his impromptu speech and his work at the culture center, he was well and truly sick of media coverage of anything.

 

[oathblade]

Khrys jumps and looks back at Simon following his gaze she gives a half smile. "Oh just some ideas to try and fix things..like my idea to have you and Aaron work with the fire department."

She looks back out the window and waves at whats going on outside. "But its all handled. I dont know if I should be relieved or disappointed."

 

[CounterAttack]

Once the last of the mass of people had left with his arms full of produce, Katie lay on her back, alone in the gardens. She was physically and mentally exhausted from the effort needed to both produce what everyone wanted, and keeping them all in order. Dona had been a big help with that part of the job. Katie would have to thank her once she regained her energy.

The gardens, too, were tired; she could feel the plants around her growing dormant. Maybe they would be revitalized in the morning, like herself. Right now she was too tired to move, too worn out to do anything but lie there looking up at the skies.

 

[Pm0n3y]

Before he knew it, the day was over. Jason was happy to see everyone satisfied with the Society's services, albeit a bit disapointed that he wasn't able to help. He left the lounge, and made his way outside, taking a stroll around the grounds.

"What he Rich said about the Registry Act...he was encouraging it...it'll only be a matter of time before-" His thoughts were cut short when he passed the gardens.

His eye quickly caught Katie, sprawled out on the ground. He immediately ran up to her, a little scared until he noticed that she was just tired.

"Had a long day, huh?" He said kneeling down next to her.

"...Shall I carry you to your room, milady?" He asked.

 

[blaze96]

Richard watched Dona walk in through the lounge.

"So, how were things on your end?" he asked her before taking a sip of the absinthe.
