Everything is connected. The city is a Petri dish, and the culture is dying. I don't give you the answers. I just make you look at what you've been ignoring. Submissions open, but know that I am always watching back.

[TRANSMISSION INTERCEPTED // ENCRYPTION: ACTIVE]

You stumbled onto this page because you're looking for something. Or maybe you're running from it. Either way, the curtain is pulled back now. Welcome to the underbelly of Hub City. Everything you’ve been told is a lie, and the truth isn’t pretty. It’s covered in soot, grease, and political payouts. Watch your step.

It has been brought to my attention that you too are in the pursuit of the truth, yes?

Tell me then, what might be the most effective way to start such an investigation for I may be a little stumped at the moment.

[INBOX INTERCEPT // MEMO: PURSUING THE TRUTH]

To think the Son of Batman would come to me to inquire, such an honor.

Keep in mind that to find the truth and to have a effective way to investigate is not for the faint of heart. One needs to have the drive to push through all odds and trials that would come when working.

You'll need of course; to (1) collect background information of said investigation. You yourself are going to be do all the footwork, going here and there to gather important infromation. Byt then, (2) identify appropriate witnesses in your investigation. These witnesses need to be actual people who has have been on scene or have ideas to said investigation. (3) Plan interview questions because you will need to know what to ask and find from these witnesses. (4) Address potential biases. (5) Choose effective interview locations. These places at least needs to have minimal background noises and the likes; privacy and personal comfort. (6) Deal with reluctant witnesses because not all witnesses are going to cooperate. Besides planning your questions, you'll need (7) effective questions, which are queries that are open-ended questions covering the five W’s. Lastly, (8) Assess conflicting evidence. Because everything will be placed on board to now try and put pieces into places.

Hiiiiiiiii

-Em :3

[INBOX INTERCEPT // FREQUENCY: OPEN]

Adding multiple "i"s to the word "Hi" for a simple greeting is rather dubious. But I'm quite sure that you are just excited or interested, yes?

This is one of the many reasons I rely on audio transcripts... anyway, hello to you, Em with the colon-three.

Hey question I have a question for ya

[INBOX INTERCEPT // FREQUENCY: OPEN]

The first key to wisdom is the constant and frequent questioning. You're going on the right path, anonym. Ask what you want to inquire.

I don't have friends. I have assets, informants, liabilities, and entities I am actively monitoring. In a city where the air is toxic and the infrastructure is bought out, you don't trust a handshake. You trust the data. Here is where everyone stands on my grid.

Most people think a mask hides who you are. They're wrong. A mask lets you strip away the lies, the social politeness, the carefully curated illusions, and finally show the world the ugly, objective truth. My name is Vic Sage. I look for the answers Hub City tries to bury in shallow graves.

📂 [DOSSIER: SAGE, VICTOR — RE-ROUTING FREQUENCY]

NAME: Sage, Victor (Born: Charles Victor Szasz) ALIASES: The Question, "The Faceless Man," The Cynic of Sector 4. OCCUPATION: Investigative Journalist for KBEL TV (by day) // Urban Myth, Vigilante, and Unregistered Problem for the Hub City Mayor’s Office (by night). BASE OF OPERATIONS: Hub City (A municipal petri dish of crime, political rot, and rain-slicked asphalt). EQUIPMENT OF CHOICE: Pseudoderm: An artificial skin bond that erases all defining facial features, leaving a blank canvas. Binary Gas: A chemically altered vapor that binds the mask to the skin and shifts the pigment of my clothes to a deep, untraceable charcoal-blue. Micro-Cassette Recorder: Because paper trails get burned, but voices stay recorded. THE PSYCHE PROFILE: Vic Sage doesn't see the world in shades of gray—he sees it in a stark, blinding binary of Truth and Deception. Trained under the brutal philosophical teachings of Aristotle Rodor and Zen methodology, he treats investigative journalism like holy warfare. He is hyper-analytical, deeply paranoid, aggressively cynical, and plagued by chronic insomnia. He doesn't sleep; he just waits for the city's corrupt infrastructure to make its next predictable misstep. If you are looking for a savior in a brightly colored cape, keep walking. If you want to know which city council member is embezzling money from the public school system to fund human trafficking rings, stick around.

📂 [DOSSIER: OUT-OF-CHARACTER — META]

Call me Klaus/Psycho.holic! He/She. I’m a big, big fan of the Noir genre, hence my modern-era interpretations of The Question. Also getting inspo from Identity V and Spider-Man Noir for those really gritty theme and investigation vibe. This page is a creative sandbox dedicated to the neo-noir, political thriller, and psychological horror elements of the DC Universe. Expect a mix of text-heavy conspiracy posts, creative writing, and curated monochrome aesthetics. I primarily write an independent, street-level, gritty version of Vic Sage inspired heavily by his 1980s solo run, but seamlessly adapted to handle modern 2020s corporate-surveillance corruption. My DMs and Ask box are always open for plotting, world-building, or just geeking out over comic lore. Don’t be shy— I don’t bite (unless you’re on the Hub City payroll).

If you’re going to dig into the dirt of Hub City, you follow the protocol. The system is rigged, the phone lines are tapped, and I don't tolerate people who compromise my operation. Read the guidelines before you leave a footprint on this dashboard.

[CASE FILE: #002-OOC-PROTOCOL-AND-ENGAGEMENT-RULES]

[TRANSMISSION INTERCEPTED // ENCRYPTION: ACTIVE ]

NO FACES. This is an independent, investigative, aesthetic, and roleplay-friendly blog. If you are interacting, keep it clean—no godmoding.

THE INBOX. The Ask Box is always open. Anonymous tips are highly encouraged, but if you’re a corporate shill or a cop on the take, expect to be publicly exposed.

VIBES. Strictly 16+ for the dark themes, psychological intensity, and occasional depictions of street-level violence. Trigger warnings will be tagged as #risk advisory.

THE AUTHOR. This blog is run by an adult mun. A fan exploring the psychological, logical, and philosophical themes of Victor Sage (The Question).

AESTHETIC & TONE. This blog features heavy themes of urban rot, institutional corruption, existential dread, and intense cynicism. It is a creative space meant to mirror a gritty, hard-boiled noir comic book. But all types of interactions are welcome.

HATE SPEECH & HARASSMENT. There is a difference between Hub City cynicism and real-world bigotry. Any OOC hate speech, harassment, or bigotry will result in an immediate block, a report to Tumblr staff, and your IP being metaphorically thrown into the Hub City river. You've been warned!

THE HAZARD TAG: Content featuring intense graphic violence, blood, or heavy psychological trauma will always be hidden behind a "Keep Reading" break and tagged under #risk advisory tag.

ANONS WELCOME: The Ask box is open to both anonymous and public accounts. I highly encourage "in-universe" tips, local conspiracy theories, and philosophical questions.

FILTERING. If there are specific topics you need filtered, send an Ask (anonymous is fine) and I will make sure a dedicated tag is applied so you can block it via your Tumblr dashboard settings.

CROSSOVERS: This blog is open to crossovers with other DC Comics characters, Marvel characters, independent noir/detective blogs, and original characters (OCs). If the writing matches the tone, the connection is active.

ROMANCE / SHIPPING: Vic Sage is primarily a man obsessed with the Truth, but I am open to exploring canon-divergent or canon-compliant chemistry (e.g., Huntress/Helena Bertinelli or Renee Montoya) strictly after building organic, long-term plot progression and mutual OOC comfort. No instant shipping.
