...Right, so why do I have to do this?

{Booster just appears carrying a rather odd looking sphere. It's shimmering from the inside, like there was a faulty television screen in there, but as soon as he sets it down, an image appears in it, which then creates a hologram of Arkham Asylum. Not that many people would recognize it, but.}

Okay, so, this is probably going to be kind of weird and reminiscent of a safety brief, but bear with me; it's important, I swear. So, hopefully you all know about the different universes stuff, because if you don't...I don't want to know how you'd explain this away. Anyways, where Peej--uh, Power Girl and I come from, we're part of a sometimes loose association of super heroes. So no questions about the costume, okay? The point is, while there are super heroes, there's definitely villains. Problem is, there's a handful of them that get to come here that come from this place {He gestures to the hologram} which is basically our most notorious insane asylum.

{The hologram shows Eddie first, in his horrible green spandex outfit} So first up, we have Edward Nigma or I think he used Nashton once, too. His alias is the Riddler. He's in the running for worst costume ever, along with Chronos. I think the Riddler is best known for being a pain in the---Okay, he uses riddles. Enough said.

{Now Dr. Crane!} Dr. Jonathan Crane, also known as Scarecrow, is probably the one you need to watch out for the most, since he's almost assuredly to blame for a recent incident. He's a former psychiatrist that messes with your head, but he also uses chemicals of his own invention that draw out the worst fears in people. He also looks like a stick.

{And Harley} Then last from our world is Dr. Harleen Quinzel, if she's still a doctor, I don't know. Her alias is Harley Quinn, and her...thing is using pranks, practical jokes, bad jokes as weapons. That came from a guy who luckily isn't here named the Joker, but she's dangerous in her own right.

{Then a really big question mark} And Power Girl also tells me that there's a fourth inmate here who isn't native to our world. Dr. Arkham said her "name" is Diva, and that she believes that she's a vampire, but he's not quite sure if that's true or not. Any extra information on her would be great. Especially a picture, because I didn't know it was just going to come up as a big question mark.

Anyways, it's better for everybody if you stay away from these four. Chances are, we shouldn't have any problems, but just in case any arise, we're both equipped to deal with them. Oh, and if you know anyone else that could be considered suspicious or dangerous, we'd be very interested to hear about them, too.

So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, Booster Gold, or Power Girl. You'll know when you see her because of her awesome boobs.

...Don't tell her I said that.

[ ... Sefton is really missing the days where people magnets and breathing item finders were all the weirdness he had to deal with. Sigh. ]

Seriously?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

...Yeah? Is that really all you have to say?

[polarization]

Think you said enough for all of us.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

...Well, maybe, but I just introduced some dangerous people? Aren't you at all concerned about that?

[polarization]

Yeah? [ blink ] ... what, should I scream 'r something?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, that second one looks familiar... she frowns.]

Um, excuse me... Can you tell me anything else about Dr. Crane?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Not too much, I'm afraid. We still have to deal with doctor-patient confidentiality, so there's only so much I can say. But hey, just keep away from him, alright? That's about all you need to know.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Her frown deepens, but she nods.]

Alright. Thank you. [She considers just walking off, but after hesitating a moment, she figures it's worth asking.] What if... someone's already been talking to him? A lot?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

There's only one that I've met, Emil? I tried to set him straight about Scarecrow, but if he's still talking to him...Man, I don't know.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

A public broadcast on villains? How heroic of you. So sad that Dietrich isn't here to be added to the list. [a pause] No, he'd be insulted if anyone managed to find him out. Do you have a real name, Gold?

hahaha pining for your not-son, I see

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Not really. I'm just Booster Gold, hero extraordinaire.

if Dietrich was back, they could burn this place down

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Heroes rarely are. [glancing at him] Spandex, though. That's... interesting. Trust a Time Lord, though. Your Diva is definitely a vampire. I keep wondering if any of the vampire hunters will try to kill her, but if Omega and Straxus won't do it, none of my kind will. Where are you from, Hero Extraordinaire?

if only I knew wtf dietrich did in canon I would bring him back

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well, I'll pass it along to the doctor, but I bet he knew already. We don't get to read his files on anyone, so we're just going on what he told us. We haven't seen her, so.

{He shrugs} We don't want to kill her, of course, just make sure she isn't going to go on a rampage, or anything like that.

But as for where I am? Gotham, born and raised. A little bit ahead of most of my coworkers, but hey, time travel is cool like that.

[he takes this all in with earnest silence, though his eyes narrow when Diva is mentioned; he waits until Booster is finished, though, to speak]

Diva is certainly a vampire, and Arkham would do well to treat her like one. He's starving her. [if he sounds pissed off, this is because he is] ...She's not a monster. She's just been treated like one for a very long time. If she's in a bad state, it would be best to just...leave, or immobilise her if you need to. [intently] Painlessly.

[...and then a smile] Thank you for the information. Of course, for all we truly know, you're one of the villains. [constant vigilance!]

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

{Laughs} I guess I could be, but I'm pretty sure that everyone I know would say that's way too clever for me. I guess it's up to you whether you believe I'm not or...not, since I can't really demonstrate heroism on command.

...Or if I could, that would be weird.

{He bumps the orb with his foot, and the question mark jerks for a moment, only to signal that it recorded what Remus said.} But thanks for the information. I'm not involved with anything in Arkham other than putting the people away in there, so her diet isn't something I have control of. Monster might be a little harsh of a word, but she did go on a killing spree in Gotham. She's better in Arkham where she should be getting treatment than Blackgate, I promise. But if you're that worried, I can talk to Arkham? Dunno how much sway I'll have since I'm not Supes or Batman, but I can try.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[lightly] I suppose a dragon could conveniently appear, but I think that would make me more suspicious, not less. I'll just have to wait and see.

[the levity fades pretty quickly, though] I'd appreciate it. From what she's said of the place...it doesn't seem to be helping her. Aggravating her, mostly.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

...Definitely more suspicious. The people that tend to just have dragons conveniently appear are the ones that I tend to put in Arkham.

{He laughs} There aren't a lot of people that like it! But hey, she might be a nice girl, but I'm just trying to do my job. She went on a rampage in Gotham, so she needs to stay where the public is safe and she's safe, that's all.

[arms crossed, looking mildly sceptical and faintly amused by the end of it, though she'd clearly paid close attention during] Is spying on the ladies' bath part of your superhero duties?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

...

You know, I was hoping that wouldn't be remembered.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[grin] Sorry. I don't forget anything. [that encounter is probably written down in a notebook somewhere]

Of course, it sounds like these guys do a bit worse than peeping.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

I promise, they definitely do. Actually, the ones from my world are...{probably gay}

...Nah, nevermind.

[lostandfinder]

[Chivy paid attention to the important part.]

You're a super hero?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

{Grins} Yep! Can't say anything like "born and raised," since I definitely wasn't, but that's pretty rare anyways.

[lostandfinder]

So how'd you turn into one if you weren't one when you were born?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

The power of technology! And time travel. And--Okay, it's a lot of things.
