Town Meeting

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

John awoke at his usual early hour on the morning of the town meeting. He dressed with slightly more than usual care in his suit of clothes from home, broke his fast with a light meal, and headed to the Golden Horseshoe to ensure that things were the way he wanted.

The chairs and small tables were already perfectly arranged, but John dragged a podium he found backstage out to the front of the curtain. Then he bustled about in the kitchen area setting out drinks and whatever small snacks he could find back there.

Before long, interested citizens began filing in and he went up to the podium. There was no microphone because he'd never heard of such a thing, but John Adams never had difficulty making himself heard.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. If you would please pick up any refreshments you'd care for and take your seats, we'll begin in just a few minutes."

Kon tried not to think about Rose's reaction to hearing that. "Ravager, and yeah. She ought to be around soon, sounded interested in watching this."

"Don't know what could make anyone interested in this. Sounds boring." He opened his mouth as if he was going to say something else, but then he remembered he was talking to Superboy, and promptly shut it, hoping that he hadn't seen the spark at the tip of his finger.

Kon shrugged a shoulder, "I'm just curious about why they think with this few people, when we can't really hurt each other, someone thinks we need cops."

"You think we can't hurt each other here?" he asked. He himself had been knocked cold (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/164823.html?thread=9721559#t9721559) after a fight with Static for a few days. "I think that cops are more trouble than they're worth."

"From what I've seen, the park gets in the way... but if we can, I can see their point a little better. Eh. We'll see."

"Does it?" Hot Streak asked. He kind of wished the bloody park had stepped in when he was getting his ass kicked by Virgil (but if he ever got the upper hand, he hoped the park didn't step in then). Maybe it just didn't like bad guys. "You been in many fights since you've been here then?"

"Not so much got into as watched, and heard about. Hey, I hate to chat and run, but I see someone I've been meaning to catch up with for a while."

He'd spotted Logan coming in, and they never had done anything about that surfing-via-TTK bit.

That left something for Hot Streak to mull over. "No problem, see you." And then he went to find his own seat to sit in, somewhere near the back.
