#Made in Metropolis

Gotham the build a city game.

Danny as he finally nearly finished 1/20 of his ghostly infinite king reports is tasked to help/dragged a nearly core crumbling addicted Spirit who refused to go to her check up and is a code core red to be in full chamber for recovery for the past centuries or three over a City building board game named Gotham, with Fright Knight as his backup.

It took Danny and Fright Knight about an agonizing hour and 20 minutes to wrangle her from the board game with her screaming, biting, kicking like a feral starving raccoon from the streets under a deal that He promised to play her board game in her stead while she goes back to her recovering.

The Lady explained the game with trembling hands that she watches over the city as the status piece, moves her character pieces here and there, items, and stuff around to built a utopian with random cards of consequences selected that take her ectoplasm as wild card if a character died and if she pick the wrong thing at the wrong time, but she been raking her core a bit after several mistakes, but her knights has been doing well so far.

She been playing for a long long time because her friends played their and bragged about their board game repeatedly resetting if a bad end for all their city that connected to hers, they have Central City, jackasshole holding the obvious cheatimg Gateway city, and her biggest frenemy/nemesis being that *itch with her Smallville and Metropolis just because she got a a few op characters doesn't mean her knights can't beat their ass if they were so busy!

The Lady's green glowing eyes and sharp teeth gritted hard with hatred, but her hate melted away due to how weak she was before continuing to speak.

He simply had to touch the status to continue the game, and please to the all mighty anicent, if her knights die under his watch, she will find a way to destroy him even if he is the current infinite King.

Danny can see pretty clear what Frostbite meant with crumbling game addicted Spirit, her skin was a sickly grayish green with obvious condensed rotting barely renew ectoplasm keeping her stable, her dress obvious tattered blacken to a tar like state that her own haunt was crumbling around her and the board game on the table.

Danny agreed though soup her in the thermos as Frostbite warned him about her little successful escape acts nearly up 4k times even with help that she crawl right back to the board game.

Danny glanced back at the board game after giving Fright Knight the thermos containing the patient spirit for Frostbite.

His hand touch the statue that change from a crowned women with wings holding a board game in one hand and sword in the other to a tall statue replica of him in his infinite king outfit holding a the solar systems of metal planets, his crown hover over his head like a halo simmered with star games and a scythe in the other hand.

It just a board game about building a city name gotham. How hard can it be.

....

....

....

Danny hisses like a possessed feral creature who just saw the light from being in darkness at Fright Knight who brought Jazz from starting summer break to see Danny hunch over renovated Gotham city mumbling about dastardly curses trying to latch on his ectoplasm but this time, this time he got the right item to fuck them up

His eyes look crazed and wild with a calculation burning desire to get a good ending, and white hair with dripping Tar, his crown was envelope in a icy fire, his nails sharper then diamond as he gripped and nearly chewed up clown character, the Spirts Haunt look like Danny's wail went through it several times before all cause that fucking *itch holding the Gateway fucked up the timeline again with the speeder character.

I got inspired by this post <-

When Danny enters the Fenton portal for the very first time, he still trips and shocks himself but at the same time damages the inside of the portal enough that it can’t sustain itself past the point of changing Danny’s molecules.

The electricity and damage done to both Danny and the portal isn’t something Danny, Sam, and Tucker can cover up and his parents find out immediately. They’re more concerned about their son then the portal (they have the blueprints for the portal and can rebuild it later but can’t replace their son if something happened to him) and go through a lot of things emotions regarding the existence of ghost human hybrids.

Danny’s new biology could easily be passed as meta human traits. Unfortunately President Lex Luther had just recently passed laws against meta humans. Meaning they can’t risk people find out about Danny’s new powers, at all. The Fentons decide that Danny should live with one of Maddie or Jacks relatives off grid until he can control his new abilities better.

luckily Jacks sister, Martha, and her husband have experience with a super powered child and after their son moved to the city could probably use a hand on their farm. All Jack needed to do was call.

Something ridiculously endearing to me about the idea that the same way Martha Kent sewed Superman's costume for her son, mothers, and grandmothers all over the place probably also sew or knit little versions of that costume for their kids.

Just thinking about postwar!Levi and him watching a film in a movie theater for the first time. It’s well after The Rumbling, and everyone was talking about the new “moving pictures” showing up in these newly built movie theatres. Levi had never been one to attend theatre productions or music concerts before, but he was curious to see what the fuss was all about, so he goes one night with Onyakopon and Yelena.

And what he sees is nothing short of spectacular to him.

People in fantastical costumes traveling beyond this world and meeting new creatures Levi had never thought of in his wildest dreams. After that first time, he started going every weekend with Onyakopon, eager to view new stories and places long gone, forgotten, or never created.

But one afternoon, he sits in the theater and watches as the screen fills with soldiers attacking innocent, unarmed people. A woman holds a child with tears in her eyes, but the soldiers march forward. There’s no sound, but Levi can hear every pop of the guns, every cry of the women and children. He stands up and leaves.

Onyakopon finds him sitting in the lobby, his head in his hands.

“You ok, Levi?” He asks.

Levi looks up, sweat on his brow. “Yeah…it was just a little too realistic.”

Audio Drama Sunday is for questioning who governs

🤖 Metropolis by @luxradium. "Every city is built on top of a sewer." What a great first episode. I love stories about cities, especially ones that aren't what they want you to think they are. I'm also a sucker for when a character encourages someone to live up to their potential and it gets them into trouble, maybe killed – but maybe they went out doing what they were really born to do!! Plus, just look at that cover art (by Michael Hirshon).

🐉 World Gone Wrong from Audacious Machine. They just keep nailing it with this show. I think because it's the feeling of being an ordinary person in strange times that they're trying to capture. This is an election episode, and the exaggeration of a literal dragon running for office is wryly funny, but what really works is the exhaustion of just not even having the capacity to be outraged or weirded out any more. Plus the idea of voting as choosing which final boss you'd rather fight is inspired.

And what's new from me and @foggyoutline this week?

Also an episode about how you get the people in power to do the right thing – I'm deliberately referencing stuff like 5calls.org but I didn't deliberately schedule it for US election season, that part just sort of happened.

We got to give Dédé Davi her audio drama debut – she'd done ad and corporate voiceover before but not acting. If you like her performance, she's looking for more parts in audio drama, so go cast her!

And Backstage on @merelyroleplayers, we're doing character creation, with the slight twist that it's a new character coming into an eatablished setting, played by an established player who retired her first character. It changes the maths a little bit – there's a lot of rules and lore there already that you're slotting into (not that Ellie doesn't add plenty more of her own in this episode! 🧛‍♀️)

omg i only knew rock from the movie metropolis i had no idea he’s a recurring tezuka character… i have to dig into this now thank you for enlightening me

I first knew him from metropolis too! (re)watching it with a friend who had more tezuka knowledge than me was my gateway lol. he actually started out as a pretty standard hero character but he's best known for his villain roles, which is no question where he shines the most. I think he's at his most entertaining and interesting in vampires, but I've also seen him in black jack, say hello to bookila, phoenix, and the 2003 astro boy anime. and other random places, he shows up a lot.

kon canonically goes to clark just to bitch about his rogues gallery and you people have the audacity to suggest they have a bad relationship. smh
