Somewhere in Toon Town - Dusk

[elle-sparks.livejournal.com]

Elle was bored again. She hadn't seen Spike in ages, so she decided she was going to go look for him.

She was unaware of any imminent threat that might be lurking, despite Cayce's recent warning about someone looking for her.

"Gave Elle a heads-up, among others. The problem is not causing panic or stirring up some kind of lynch mob while still making sure people are informed. The thing is ... we haven't really had people fucking around with other people like this." As far as Cayce knew, anyway. "There's a couple of iffy characters, but this guy is the first one to actually be dangerous. And no one really knows what to do." She sighed. "There was an attempt at starting some kind of police force, a while back. It met with pretty strong opposition; basically, folks were afraid it'd set up an abusable authority system."

"No arguments there," Jenny muttered, with a quirk of her lips. "Wouldn't trust most of the cops I've met to run things. I think what you did sounds about right," she said. "Lynch mob's no good, especially against someone with powers. Just ask because it makes me wonder who picks a fight with the bads who don't give off the creepy vibe. Sounds like you lot have been all right, though."

She shrugged, carefully glancing in the windows of the nearest shop, and keeping an eye out for movement.

"Funny you should mention abusable authority systems," she added conversationally. "That's what I did before I came here. Never thought I'd ever see a place that didn't have one. Other than hoarding the bloody booze systems."

"Sorting them out, you mean?" Cayce smirked. "Too bad you never made it to my Earth in 2004. Or maybe about a year and a half earlier."

"Sorted them out by being a bigger one," she replied honestly. It didn't exactly fit with a lot of her ideals to be starting up superteams with the power to take over the world, but there hadn't been a whole lot of choice. Stormwatch had been all right while it had lasted, but it hadn't been enough. "And the 21st century is a bit out of my jurisdiction, so do I want to know about this? The 90s were fucked up enough for me."

[caycep]

"Oh."

Awkward.

"The twenty-first century? Well, let's start out with a major act of terrorism on American soil, followed by an attempt to go after the people who organized it that pretty much failed, followed by a war that's got some pretty shaky justification. Oh, and the worst president in US history. Fun times."

If Jenny noticed any of the awkwardness, she didn't appear apologetic.

"Gore? He didn't seem too much worse than everyone else in Washington." She shrugged. "Better not've gone down like that in my world; I told those bastards."

[caycep]

Cayce started to laugh.

"Gore? If only. No, no, Bush won. Well. If 'recount stopped by order of the Supreme Court' counts as 'won'."

"Fuck, junior? You're joking. Heard he was thinking about running, but thought it was a great laugh." She shook her head. "All right, I was right, I didn't need to know."

[caycep]

"Yeah. Sorry about that." Cayce sighed.

She paused and cocked her head, listening for voices.

Katou swooped back, and landed beside them. "Found them." he said. "They're by the ice cream parlor."

"Good on you," Jenny said. "Sure it's them? Cayce, do you want to come to give a positive ID on Zane, or would you rather leave it to us?"

[katoustheshit.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it's Elle, at least," Katou said. "I've never met Zane, so I'm not so sure about him."

[caycep]

"I'll come with," Cayce said. "And I promise I will stay out of the way." She smiled wryly.

((Seems like a good time to switch threads? Sorry about my AFKness; likely to continue for the rest of the day.))
