This is Deputy Commissioner Vimes of the VCPD.

My men are searching for this "device" Demetria Devious claims to have hidden. We will find it and we will deal with it. Your help is not wanted.

However, given the, er...extreme nature of the situation...

[And Chief Quimbley's orders to make SOME kind of peace offering with the superhero community.]

...My men have been ordered to not interfere with certain...vigilante elements as long as they do not appear to be causing any harm. Tread carefully and I will pretend you do not exist. Present something useful and.

Well.

We'll see.

[Ben's voice comes over the network through his suit, which means it's got a metallic echo behind the soulful voice.]

Can't even extend that privilege to a former officer of the law, sir? [The "sir" comes off not disrespectful, but more.... playful. He knows who he's talking to.]

"Appreciate allowing us to help." The Kid responded, though with text. These devices voice recorders weren't quite what we were used to.

[Ah right, Birdland. The special case. Vimes chose his words with care. He still feels a bit responsible for what happened to him, even if it logically wasn't his fault.]

You KNOW what it's like having to deal with meta humans as a cop. Just.

Try not to make a mess.

Can't ever say I'll forget it, sir. Don't worry, I'll try to keep the collateral damage to a minimum. [Not that he can really help it... his skillset isn't really geared towards "quiet" or "precise".]

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

Don't mention it.

[No really. Don't remind him that he has been forced to compromise his principles like this. It makes him remember the bottle of whiskey.]

"If it makes you feel any better, I am a marshal where I am from."-The Kid Responded.

Well, considering there were about two Caels life and he had been the only source of law for a while, can't say the kid was incorrect.

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

You may not.

I will accept "Sir," "Deputy Commissioner", or "Officer Vimes."

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

People can get along just fine without supers.

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

It'll have to do.

[forgottendecade]

couldn't agree more

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

Where are you from?

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

Then you'll understand why I'm a bit put off at being forced to let this latest collection of caped incompetents do what they want.

[forgottendecade]

they think it is a game at times
it can be but not the kind of game they think it is

[webswings]

Okay, sure, got it.

[ A beat. ]

So, Vimey. Not usually so hot on us hero types, I take it?

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

You don't consider yourself to be one of them?

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

...Among other things.

[webswings]

Well, I'm still a little new to the whole gig.

I wouldn't hurt a fly! You know, unless the fly shot first, or--

[ Another pause. ] Huh, you know, that's probably the worst example given my motif...

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

What are you, some kind of spider person?

[webswings]

Spider-Man, thank you very much.

With a hyphen, I should note. People keep getting that wrong.

[forgottendecade]

why should i?
i'm here. i'll get my job done. i'll leave.
everything else is irrelevant

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

Of course.

Hey, YOU'RE that red and blue twit that keeps beating people up and showing up in the paper?

[fabricati_diem_pvnc]

What job?

[webswings]

You left out the fact I leave them gift wrapped for you.
