Jailhouse Rock (but not too hard or it'll fall down)

Who: Robin/Tim Drake [personal profile] mostdangerousbird and open. Can also be used as a sort of mingle for your own toplevels.
What: A massive jailbreak of lowlevel, non-meta criminals from CCPD headquarters, after Loki removed all the walls and cage doors.
When: On a clear December night, during the mistletoe mania.
Where: Downtown Central City
Content Warnings: Please keep the damage minimal and the takedowns non-lethal.


The Central City PD are located downtown, taking up a lot of valuable ground with a stupid architectural design that wastes as much space as it does money.

It's normally foreboding griege brutalism, but everything is looking a little Jetsons at the moment. The sections were the cells are? Don't have any damn walls left. Or cell bars. It looks like something out of the Jetsons - floating concrete and rebar discs for floors and roofs. Pipes spraying water out and up and everywhere because the walls are gone. Don't worry, you won't get shocked because all the wires are gone too.

Those inside the building will have to make do on emergency lights (if they're in an area that still has walls). The circuit is obviously so badly damage that it's stopped working - a too-smart-to-be-a-cop secretary very quickly realizes the danger of an electric file and trips all the breakers on purpose.

The prisoners? About a third of them immediately make a run for it. Another third move away from the open walls, but sit quietly with visible hands because this is crazy, suspicious shit and they are not going to make it worse on themselves. The rest wait to see how far the first runners get and begin peeling off in small groups in the next two minutes.

The missing walls and bars will reappear at dawn like nothing ever happened, but there’s no way of knowing that.

So what do we do about it?

[ the jailbreak is contained. kyle may be a space cop, but he handles situations best and rarely does aftermath control. ]

For now? Not sure. Robin wants to consider other possibilities as well but he might have some bias Loki too.

[ he sighs. that kind of bias huh. ]

So nothing for now?
robintohood: ([RH] First mistake)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-12-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yup.

[Not that he's happy about that]

Hopefully the walls come back by morning and that the next breakout isn't at this city's version of Arkham. By the way, that same Loki snooped on me and Batman and knows our secret identities.

[ kyle frowns at that. it's no easy feat to accomplish that. and he feels insulted on bruce's behalf. ]

Gotcha. I'll keep an eye out. And familiarise myself with the Lokis. Just in case.
robintohood: ([RH] Got it?)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-12-13 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it wouldn't hurt. There's a kid Loki. There's the Loki that owns the Opherium theatre. And the third Loki looks at about our ages. That third Loki has talked to Batman before and is the one Robin knows.

[And boy do they really know each other]

That helps, thanks.

I don't know much about magic, but the ring doesn't have a problem with it.
robintohood: ([RH] First mistake)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-12-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Good to know. And to Robin's credit, there are plenty of other magic users. The guilds certainly got some.

[personal profile] torchbearer 2022-12-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, we can go with that.

[ but it doesn't seem like jason believes it. ]
robintohood: ([RH] Haven't lost the touch)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-12-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Jason doesn't believe Tim at all]

Until the next weird but not dangerous physics-defying event happens maybe.

Think I saw you earlier with the giant coffee cups.

I went for quick and easy for containment.
robintohood: ([RH] First mistake)

[Snorts]

No kidding. Hell of a lot better than chasing after them on foot and on grapple.

The perfect use of the most powerful weapon in the universe.

[Snickers]

Clearly. Very dignified too. Remind me to call you if I got big spiders to throw out the window.
torchbearer: (Casshern Sins)

[personal profile] torchbearer 2022-12-13 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Like you'd ever admit to not being able to handle spiders.
robintohood: ([RH] First mistake)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-12-13 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Awww. I'm touched you got that much faith in me.
torchbearer: (Castle In The Sky)

[personal profile] torchbearer 2022-12-13 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Faith in a lack thereof in terms of skill.

Gee, thanks.

You're welcome.
