Occupational Hazards

Hunter Gibbins. 21. The Bowery. Does anyone actually read this shit? [Private RP Blog for Save This City.]

[gibbins-gibbout]

Yo, so, about me leaving. ('Again?' you ask incredulously.)

So, uh, if you're reading this. Know that I'm surprised, too. I had thought I had a handle on Real Life. But y'all know Real Life. It kicks ya in the ass.

This is totally my decision, guys. Just ask the Mods; I was literally planning on doing something relatively ridiculous and staying in as late as this morning. Like, this is on me.

And I do love you all, and I may occasionally pester y'all with anons or something. Invite me to BGO sometime. I'll make a troll blog and just pester y'all with anons and keep up with plotlines and occasionally make conversation or w/e.

YOU WILL SEE ME IN YOUR NOTES, MOTHERFUCKERS.

They’d have to be to actually enjoy this place.

I probably shouldn’t, but I have to wonder if the whole prisoner take over will actually improve this place at all. Some of it really couldn’t get worse so…

[gibbins-gibbout]

We just don't know.

Besides, it's not like the whole ordeal's gonna last long. Something's gotta give eventually, and I put my money on the people bold enough to wear spandex.

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] Oh, so you’re trying to tell me I’m old. Ooh. Burn.

[gibbins-gibbout]

Huh.

Guess his eyes got tired?

gibbins-gibbout replied to your post:I’ll never understand. Of all the places in the…

Which /obviously/ makes it the primo place to take over. You know how much supervillains love cleanin’ up after themselves.

Fair enough. But if you’ve got the man power why not take over, I don’t know. Bora Bora. Or Aruba. Or basically anywhere else. How about owning a place where you’d actually like to spend your time.

[gibbins-gibbout]

Who knows. Maybe the new big cheese actually appreciates the muck and grime. I've heard that some people like Gotham City. Shocking, I know, but somehow true.

They're psycho, obviously.

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] Vigilante crimefighting. Staying on the ass end of the red tape will age anybody.

So is vigilantism. And murder. You wanna test how far I’m willing to push the law?

[gibbins-gibbout]

Again, what I'm trying to tell you is that you are, pretty much, on the ass end of the red tape. And congrats.

Please feel free to push whatever you like. I mean, you did ask so politely.

Of course, yeah, completely suicidal. I mean this is downright crazy since, hypothetically, they’d be breaking into one of the most secure buildings in the country!

And if [del: I]they were to recon it, hypothetically, they’d have to survey it’s outer perimeters, guard sentries and the like, maybe pose as a student intern, hypothetically, and learn through there.

Untouchable would also definitely work, hypothetically. Less sound also super helpful since, while we’re still talking hypothetically, they might have super enhanced audio detectors.

The DeepWeb, hypothetically, would be where a person would want to look for those kinds of people, grey hats/black hat hackers [del: like me] being the most apt.

Of course they would have to be a total whiz and completely stupid to even start hacking. Like completely and utter bonkers

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] 'M sure. Definitely a stupid idea. You'd be, like, arrested or dead or dead and arrested.

And to be a student intern, I'd assume, hypothetically, you should be, like, high school age. They underestimate kids, right? That's what all the movies say.

So, it's, hypothetically, a two man job. One intern / tech genius / hacker / guy who knows his way 'round a computer much better than me whoever's gonna be the guy actually doing the breaking and entering. And the guy breaking and entering has to be, like, hypothetically, really gifted. Which, I mean, c'mon, who actually has that golden set of meta abilities.

So, of course, this'd never happen. Where you gonna find two chumps like that?

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] No.

I’m actually 54 years old, jerkass. Crimefighting keeps me young. It’s like Botox but you get to punch people who call you jerkass.

[gibbins-gibbout]

Yes.

... You have seen Gordon's face, right? I wouldn't call it a young-looking face. 'Sides, is that a threat Red Hood? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's, like, against the law or something.

[agentxchase]

gibbins-gibbout said: Do you have a secret army of supervillains you’re willing to use to put down the metas you can’t use.

[agentxchase]

If it were secret, would I tell you?

That would be a no. 

[gibbins-gibbout]

... I don't believe you.

Like, why wouldn't you. If you need to take down somethin' big, wouldn't it make sense to fight fire with fire? Meta with meta? Like, if civilians and supervillains are thinkin' up that shit, 'm sure you guys have. It's, like, using a big robot to fight a monster from another dimension. It just makes sense.

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] I’ve only never killed one any person on accident for being a smartass, but kid, you’re really testing my convictions. 

[gibbins-gibbout]

I am offended that you think I'm being a smartass. Can't a guy admire another guy's ass anymore? I'm not the one getting all uppity 'bout it, jerkass.

AND ANOTHER THING. I'm 21. How the fuck old are you, Hood? Because I doubt a 40 year old man could do the whole 'vigilante' thing.

[chicgeek-in-gear-blog]

[pm]

Well… if we’re talking hypothetically, they’d probably want to, hypothetically, find out what kind of security they have first. Cause, for one thing, they’d probably have some kind of defence for those kinds of things.

I mean there name is Extranormal. So there may be something like heat sensors or trip lasers in there for those who are invisible.

And if, hypothetically, they managed to get inside, they’d probably, you know, want somebody to give them a map of the place, or have an inside ear to the system mainframe.

But of course this is all totally hypothetical and completely impossible. No one’s really gonna try that.

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] I wonder, hypothetically, how one could find this out. Would one have to do a recon? Can you do a recon before you know the security? How would you pull this off?

Hypothetically, being invisible would help. But, so would being untouchable. If you're not giving off heat or can't trip a sensor, then, like, it would, hypothetically, be much easier, yeah?

Where do you think, hypothetically, one could find someone to be an inside ear? That takes someone who has a lot of experience with computers, I'd think. Something that I most people ain't got.

Because no one's gonna do this dumb shit, the DEO ain't really got nothin' to worry about. Because it'd be, like, illegal. Suicidal, even.

[chicgeek-in-gear-blog]

[pm]

Yeah, they could be as bad but dude, unless you know of a way of getting into their systems, there’ll be no way anyone of us will know. That’s federal security we’re talking about and it’s really high level tech.

A person can’t just march right in there and snoop without being noticed. It’s impossible to hack and impossible to penetrate.

Not that I would know anything about that at all!

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] ... Well, what if you could get past it. Like, just... waltz right in there and no one would see or hear you if you didn't want.

I mean, if that were, like, possible. Hypothetically, how would you do it? Like, if, you know, you were hypothetically going to infiltrate the DEO. Hypothetically.

Not that I'm in any way entertaining this idea because it is impossible. Like, you said that, and it's true. Impossible.

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] Gross.

[gibbins-gibbout]

Ya love it. Though I guess everyone else is was always complimentin' Nightwing's ass, so you must not be used to it.

[chicgeek-in-gear-blog]

[pm]

You talked to Firefly?! Dude has a psychotic obsession with fire, man! I wouldn’t put too much weight on what he says or what any other SuperV says either. They’re kinda VIlls for a reason. Sides, if they did have that, there’s no way that’d be kept a secret for long.

Rumours would start and people would start talking and it’ll all turn into really bad press yo.

But… yeah I know. Can’t really say I know much of anything [without for a lack of trying]. DEO’s really tight lipped. [Aside from basically saying they’d nuke part of Gotham]

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] Even psychopaths are sometimes right. And I know about the obsession with fire. He called me sunspot. We don't know anything about the DEO, it's not like we can't say that they aren't keeping them, I dunno, frozen or something? Hypnotized? They're shady.

Rumors have already started. I just don't see why I should trust them. All things considered, they could be as bad as Firefly. We don't know.

I wonder, though...

[chicgeek-in-gear-blog]

[pm]

Dude, I hope you’re not thinking like Hydra. Cause they are so not Hydra [as far as anyone can tell]. And pretty sure they’re kinda like way above investigation since their jobs basically FBI but for metas.

They’re more or less cool. In that, overly high and mighty government kinda way.

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] But they might be bad. It's not like other gov't departments ever get corrupted.

Firefly seemed to think they might have a stash of supervillains on tap, for dealing with metas they don't like. Bullshit, as far as I can tell, but...

You never know, you know?

[destin-cretton]

[pm] Okay… I was just asking.

[gibbins-gibbout]

[pm] Sorry. That doesn't answer the question.

[gibbins-gibbout]

chicgeek-in-gear replied to your post:Since when do we have a fucking Department of...

Think… H.A.M.M.E.R. or S.H.I.E.L.D. They’re kinda like that except we don’t actually know what they do.

And those are...? S.H.I.E.L.D.'s the... gov't agency from the Avengers flick? Right? What's that have to do with the DEO?

...

...

Oh. Oh.

[pm] Someone should be, like, investigating that... That's not cool. I am a citizen, and I am uncomfortable.

[holy-red-hood]

[mask] You tell me. 

[gibbins-gibbout]

Growly men in tights. My only weakness.
