Get In Losers, We're Doing Research

who: Openish - Floor Six Mingle Post
what: Ed and Chloe Initiate Phase II: Research and Explore
when: Sometime After New Arrivals Show Up (July 10th?)
where: Floor Six
warnings: Please hit up Ed's Permissions Post, as he's a CRAU and may recognize your character or talk about being in various other worlds.


The kitchen is laid out with whatever (reasonable) refreshments one can imagine available within the quarantine, snacks and beverages to accommodate varying tastes spread across the kitchen island and counter tops. Enough seating for 20 (10 from the kitchen, 10 from the entertainment area) had been arranged around Chloe's display, however she chose to set it up - since it had been put on her as the tech savvy one between them to do the presentation.

New arrivals, whether they cared for the research and exploration party or not would easily find themselves surrounded by books, notebooks and other papers with various notations - all regarding Riverview, the history of the quarantine, rumors surrounding it and comparisons to other worlds that similarly pull people through portals. These are out in the open and free to browse, should one be so inclined.


[Anyone with relation to floor six is welcome to attend - resident, friend of resident, etc. If you're unsure whether or not your character would get an invitation please contact the player you have CR with. Should your character be the type to show up uninvited, feel free to crash. Pretty much anyone Ed has CR with would be notified, and he'll be making a public post on the network before this event actually takes place IC. However if you have any questions don't hesitate to hit me up: [plurk.com profile] TransmutedSelf]

Jay's blue eyes watched the gold, before he shifted his hands to go back to working on the pretzels. He loved both salty and sweet things, hell, Jay just loved food in general but he knew that eating tended to help people feel more relaxed, and that was his goal. He wasn't put off by the lack of shake, he knew not all cultures did that, hell not all worlds did either. He still expected to cross another person like Kori and get kissed in greeting. He'd never get used to that.

As the young man started to speak, Jason realized right off this guy was kind of like Tim, Tim that he still couldn't believe was alive. It shouldn't shock him anymore. He's already died, Damian was dead, and they both got better, but having Tim back, that was different. "Thanks…" He spoke, a little unsure if he would even be staying here long, part of him wanted to go hunt down an abandoned building and set up shop, but for now he would play by the rules, get to know people.

"Research huh? I might be able to help with that." He spoke offhandedly. He never liked to really volunteer, but in truth he loved to help with anything he could, and he missed having his hands on books. "If you need someone whose not frightened of dangerous, count me in. I don’t have a resume to offer, but back home I kind of take care of problems and protect people that need the help." He tried not to sound sketchy, but he figured their was no good way to say vigilante who murders criminals.

Jason's eyes tracked Ed around as he prepped the food. He normally might offer to help out, but he was not sure the other even needed help with that. "I'm good with both, the reading and running, reading is one of my hobbies." One of the better ones anyway. He wasn't about to start naming off the bad hobbies.

He nodded when Ed went on speaking. He could feel the eyes, but he was used to being looked over, both as himself and as Red Hood, it came with the package of teenage crime fighter, even before puberty had been very gracious with him. He was at least thankful he wasn't being sized up in a green speedo. Somethings are best left in the past.

"They hired me on at the Perimeter Guard, so I assume that should speak enough for my qualifications." His eyes narrowed down on Ed only a second before shaking his head. "I'll have to take your word to, somehow I think it's not the same though." Finishing his handful of pretzel's he nodded once more. "Yeah, I'll stick around, I like to know what I'm getting into, and I should get to know you guys. My name's Jason, by the by." He finally decided to give his name, if he was gonna offer to help he might as well, living on the same floor and all.

"That's good to know." Stuff to read while he doesn't sleep, between power naps, because yes, he will be found at random power napping on chairs and such. He ran different than most people, even if he still slept more than than his younger brother, he still slept as much as the average member of the family. Which wasn't enough. "I'm always interested in learning, and if it helps more people, than I am down to help however I can." He liked both books and computers, so either way worked for him.

Jason arched a brow hearing he was part of the guard, and repairs at that, but again, Tim came to mind. Never judge a book by its cover. "Well I guess were going to get to know each other pretty well." He admitted. "How much do you know about other people here?" He asked curiously.

Making a face at Edward's name, this guy was clearly nothing like Edward Nygma, and yet. "Do you prefer Edward, or Eddy?"
hititwithacrowbar: (Jason - eyebrow raised)

It was just how Jason was, if he allowed himself to get comfortable enough to shut his mind off he would drift off. There were days that just being tired to his bones would drive him to bed, but usually he had to be comfortable with people to sleep around them easily. Jason liked to help people, it was part fo what had driven him to push himself to be the best he could be before a madman with a crowbar ended that dream. Now, he was just another bad guy, just with good intentions… usually. He did the things Bats wouldn't.

Alchemy wouldn't phase him, as much as interest him. He's seen to much in his years, and he was forever curious and willing to learn anything he could.

"Nah, just the basic guard. I'm more of a fighter than a fixer upper." He answered honestly before nodding when the answer to his question was given almost looking a touch disappointed. "I've heard there was another version of me running around. I was hoping to find out about it, that's all. It's strange as hell."

Jason then looked more confused, his assholish nature bucking up against his better side. One half wanting to make a joke, the other curious on what brought that look. "Ed it is." he replied in an even tone, his eyes trained on the smaller one. Like any guy he was trying to figure out what he did… this was not the first time nor the last time he's gotten glared out without him knowing what he's done.

"Yeah, apparently a few people met the other me, but no one has said much... it's strange, and while I understand multiversal theory, god knows I do, but not with something like this." Life when he returned from the dead had been interesting to say the least. He reached up and ran his fingers through his short cropped black hair and shrugged. "Let me know, because I'm curious honestly. I don't like the idea of someone else with my face getting close to people I know." He spoke, a touch more gruff in his tone. His talk with Dick, left him a little uneasy to say the least. "And what do you mean they all seem to know each other?"

Moving on from the other topic seemed best. Despite his size, he shifted to lean on one of the tables, putting his weight on it with little concern, his eyes still tracking Ed.

"Yeah," he reached up, and ran his fingers through his hair again. "That's kind of how it goes, at least from what I understand of it. I'm likely not the best to break it down though. Like Earth 1 and 2, could both have a version of me who live different lives. And one crosses over on the other world... Never mind." He waves the hand then.

"Thank you, I guess once the presentation is over I'll catch you later?" he half offered. Figuring it was time to move on out of the other's way while he set up.
