Here are some plots that Lucy and Mandolin came up with that I then stomped all over. In most cases, I haven't actually asked the people involved whether they would like to do this plot, because I wanted to find out if YOU would like to do this plot. But please do speak up, Jill, Gabbie, Box, if you see something that just doesn't work, or if you like what's going on.

► INVESTIGATING MAX LORD. This mission would be for Cassandra, she of the body language reading skills, and one other person. Actually she would want Rachel, but Rachel is ported out at this time. Probably she'd be aiming for Zatanna here, but others are still possible, like I'm sure Parker has experience telling when people are lying. Obviously she's not going to send Ted. NOTE: This is just to gauge interest, I haven't discussed this with Max's player.
► SHIVA STOP KILLING PEOPLE. This would be for any combination of Mary Marvel, Rachel, and Quatre. They're her sturdiest and big hitters, and least likely to get really hurt by Shiva. They would be stalking her and attempting to prevent her from killing anyone. This mission is a LITTLE iffy because what the heck does it have to do with investigating people for corruption? Um... it doesn't. This is Oracle misusing her resources, quite frankly, because she promised Cass she would take care of Shiva. But she would make sure to let them know it's like that.
► VOTE HUNDRED. OR NOT. As the campaign for mayor looms, Oracle would like to find out more about this mysterious, ambiguous Mitchell Hundred. This mission is open to anybody but Cassandra, who is socially handicapped don't look at me that way she is, and job-wise would range from infiltration to just getting involved with his campaign. She's not doing this for Tank because... it's Tank. NOTE: This is just to gauge interest, I haven't discussed this with Jill.
► NPC CORPORATE SLIMEBALLS. Let's explore the dirtier side of City business by busting some corporations on unsafe practices, etc. This would probably be something of a handwaved mission, open to anyone but probably aimed at Felicia, Selina, Parker, and Charlie.
► BACK TO THE BASICS. With the permission of the relevant muns, I would really love to have the team infiltrate very secretive, high security places and place bugs and cameras. This is another mission aimed at Felicia, Selina, and Parker, but Ted would be involved in making the bugs probably (did you see what I did there). She doesn't want Charlie to get caught on anybody's security feed, so that's pretty much out.

So people have dropped and characters been ported out, etc. here is the roster as I know ittttt (if any of you want off just let me know):

• Mary Marvel
  
• Selina
  
• Rachel
  
• Cass
  
• Dr. Mid-Nite
  
• Misfit (KIND OF. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.)

People I've been trying forever to get onto the team but not quite getting there because Oracle isn't... totally aware of them: Felicia and Quatre. Actually I think she could maybe move on Quatre, but Felicia is still way off her radar. ANYWAY if you've lost interest, Ty, I don't blame you.

OKAY SO if you'd like Oracle to investigate your character and invite them to join the team just say so! She is looking for:

• people who have multiple skills (with an emphasis on combat, stealth, and infiltration)
  
• people who can work alone or in teams
  
• or, people with specialist skills (though they may get called upon less frequently depending on what those skills are)

Please don't pay too much attention to the fact that everybody's a comicbook character right now; originally we had a more diverse line-up and Maggie Mui from Read or Die was Babs' favorite agent before her player dropped (WELCOME BACK BTW).

People she already plans to ask (no obligation to say yes, it's just IC for Oracle to ask them): X-23, Zatanna, Ted.

Okay, in canon, Babs has a team of about 3-4 constants with others that she calls in as needed and they do missions. In the City, Babs has a team of ludicrously many and they... investigate Norman's Avengers because they're the shadiest game in town BUT THAT COULD CHANGE. You should ALSO comment here if you would like the Birds to investigate your doings. I hate stepping on other plots so it would be nice to know what I should or shouldn't get into.

Here's some copypasta for you if you want your character to become a Bird:
<b>NAME:</b> <b>SKILLS/ABILITIES:</b> <b>POWERS:</b> <b>EXPERIENCE:</b> <b>HOW WELL KNOWN ARE YOU:</b> (do they post often to the comms? Do they have a reputation? Did they ever do anything they're famous or infamous for?) <b>HOW MUCH & WHAT CAN ORACLE DISCOVER ABOUT YOU:</b> (she's a ~master hacker~ technopath with cameras all over the city)

BIRDS OF PREY blah blah anyway Babs needs to assess their skills past what they said in the survey, so. Log? Handwave? I'm okay with either. She would put them through a little obstacle course or something, nothing too tough, just some, idk, lasers and possibly Batgirl (okay I lied about not too tough) if you like, Nat. Tim is welcome too, Kai! And she'd run some tests maybe, depending on what your character's power is. She wouldn't actually like, be on the premises or anything. That's how she rolls. (In... a wheelchair. Yes.)

Also she has to give them the private communicators so she can be all up in their ear during missions.

Gabbie I will put up a log for Jason and Felicia tonight? Or tomorrow? Whenever is good for you!

How about another Institute log, this time a more general one to give the students a chance to socialize? Not that the snowball fight wasn't socializing! (I'm so mad at myself for missing that, stupid homework.) But I was thinking a cafeteria scene or something. Assuming the Institute has a cafeteria.

You know that scene in Silence of the Lambs when Clarice is walking down the prison hallway and all the nasty ass psycho prisoners are like HAY BB?

Let's do that only with 100% less projected cunt smelling, not that Barbara would. Care, really.

She went to have an interview with Sentinel and assuming he hires her, she'll want to ~tour the facilities~ and have a look at the security measures that were in place. And maybe chat up some prisoners! I imagine they can just harass her at will as she wheels along, whatever. However I cannot guarantee she'll wear a short skirt and a long jacket. In fact I'm pretty sure it's gonna be pants all the way, guys.

The only problem I foresee: maybe having to actually describe the security measures?? Is there a write-up somewhere on them or is it just kind of handwavey?

IDK WHAT DO YOU THINK.
