Catching up on Notes from Eric's DC Modern Game!
Hello
Gateway City, Cat Grant here. I am so happy to be a New Resident in this
amazing city. So, since I'm new to the city I figured I need to give
back. So everyday I will be sending you all the news you need to know to
sound smart and sophisticated at the water cooler (Do offices even have those
anymore) but without all that dull boring long News Stories to read.
Don't get me wrong, I respect my former collogues at the Daily Planet but come
on who wants to read through another 10 column inch story by Lane when you
could just read my 3 sentence CatNibbles! Plus you will not have to
dictionary.com open to understand the words I am using. So here is the
first post of:
Everything
You Need To Know!
1.
After all those Earths disappeared it seems they took the Trinity, ie Superman,
Batman, and our Hometown Hero Wonder Woman, with them. No one has seen or
heard from them since the Big Super Battle in Metropolis 1 month ago.
Maybe we are looking at a Menage Trois vacation!
2.
Our Pinch Hitter Hero Achilles stopped a robbery attempt at the local Star Labs
last night. Police think it was Intergang, who recently has been making
moves outside Metropolis. I'm hoping that the legends of his voracious
sexual appetite for anyone is not Homeric Hyperbole.
3.
Magic users, Charlatans, Tarot Readers, and Psyches this week have been
screaming about the arrival of the 10th Age of Magic. Supposedly when the hero
Known as the Spectre killed a lot of Magic types during the Earths Crisis he
was ushering it in. Here is hoping the that science, not love, will still
steer the stars in this new age.
4.
New Police Commissioner Arthur Hall started work this week. Former NYPD
Captain got the job after the last Commissioner was arrested on bribery
charges. At least it was not Maggie Sawyer because that woman is so
annoying.
5.
World renown Metropolis Reporter Cat Grant was recently relocated to Gateway
City. The Daily Planet's Top reporter has started a fabulously amazing
Blog getting you the news in small easy bites. Once again she is turning
the world of Journalism on its head.
And
that is what you need to know!
Cat
From the Journal of the Hero - Achilles!
Hanging out at local dive Choppers. Being chatted up by 7’ female bouncer Rachael Storm. Bar attacked by Kestrel. Armored robot, Amazon, and I attacked, and he fled. He seemed interested in the armored robot and my sword. Choppers closed down because of the damage, so Rachael and I went drinking elsewhere and then back to her place.
Next day Rachael and I tried to investigate Kestrel. Tarot card reader indicates Kestrel somehow survived 9th Age of Magic, but is not currently magic. Science-based armor now? Or searching for magic to re-empower himself?
Two people who were at the bar disappeared during melee—small Oriental girl and weird guy playing darts. Go to Chinatown, run into creepy guy who was at bar as well. He is also investigating oriental girl with a bunch of meaningless babble. Oriental girl shows up and denies being there or knowing anything. Her grandfather uses me for promotional purposes to advertise his store. Girl starts to open up but Kestrel attacks again. I impale him with the Spear of Chiron, but he disappears with the spear!
We get taken to see Commissioner Arthur of the Hall to register as a supergroup—Achilles and the New Myrmidons. The robot is called Orichalcum (an oracle?), and the creepy guy is Quantum (though he acts like Thersites). Storm of the Shining Breasts. Quantum puts a tracker on one of my arrows to theoretically use to track Kestrel if we fight him again and he escapes.
One Lord of Order and one Lord of Chaos survived the Spectre’s rampage. If Kestrel is being powered by Chaos, is there a new Order hero around? Helm of Nabu looking for new wearer.
Learned how to use the cell phone Diana left for me.
Messages from Donna of the Unfortunate Name. Also call but no message from the
Dept. of Metahuman Affairs. But Donna claims that new Lord of Chaos is very
jealous with his power and doesn’t share. She also warns me of activities of
two cults acting in Gateway City, acquiring magical artifacts. Aha. Kestrel.
She also says we can use Themysciran Embassy in Gateway, staffed by a Satyr
named Dr. Tripod.
