Overheard in a Bar Sun Sep 05 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word on the street is, there's a new (old) board for posting rumors that are
circling around, the kind of stuff you might chance to pick up even though it
doesn't make GNN headlines. Posts to this board are anonymous so if you want
someone to follow up on them, you might want to include your name in an OOC
clause.

Hey man, have you heard the word on the street? Rumor has it that the top dog
mercenary's out of the picture. I went up to that bar in Eurasia and he ain't
there, just that quiet broad he's got serving drinks.
Yeah? I heard he killed the Director of Interpol and tried to blow up the UN
Building.
Tried?
He didn't do it, but someone else did.

Seeking people Sun Sep 05 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, it's come into knowledge that two people, presumed missing, are being
sought out by the Repliforce. The popular reason is 'protective custody'.
Their names are Icebreak Eagle (serial HHE-EAG 1) and Freeze Eagle (serial
HHE-EAG 2), and they are by and large, well, at large.
(Interested? contact Hailstorm Eagle.)

A Shame Sun Sep 05 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So these two mercs walk into a bar...
"...so yeah. Maybe we oughta check it out sometime, know what I'm sayin'?"
"Like (*#$ we will! If the Repliforce wants those birds, they've gotta be armed
or something. Let someone with bigger guns take care of that, man."
"Yeah, maybe...but we're short on jobs right now. Remember that Javelin
Whitetail chick?"
"Who doesn't? Half the /world/ was after her three months ago."
"Yeah. Well, so I've heard, she's off the list now. Officials won't lay a hand
on her."
"...whoah. That's...freaky. You think the new Interpol is corrupt that fast?"
"Well, she was in Seoul when Black SHIELD went kaboom. Lend a hand in. So maybe
they 'lost' a few documents or something in return. In any case, she's off the
hook, so we need to take whatever jobs we can find."
"True. But still...wow, that's a shame."

Word is... Sun Sep 05 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A shady looking ursine Reploid, and someone who could be either a Skinner, or a
reploid are conversing.
"...so. Word on the street is that Hell Inc. has re-opened, though I hear it's
going to be 'net access only."
"Funny. I didn't think that Strider'd go digital."
"Tch. You didn't hear he's with the hunters now? Anyways, naw. Word is one o'
dem newer Striders is runnin it. Some young punk."
"...figures. When's he open for business?"
"I'm not sure. But anyways, you hear the word that there's some dude on the
'net goin 'round, seeking and shreddin files related to that Black Shield
hooha? Bet they left a contingency virus or somethin."
"Aw, who cares. Didja hear about speedy? Heard he's runnin his own outfit. Real
underground stuff."
The conversation continues to drone onwards, into dullness.
(OOC: Curious? Only 50% of the blather in this is true. 20% hasn't happened
yet. Contact Jared Kintane for more info.)

A Man Obsessed Thu Sep 09 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All over internet message boards and chat rooms, sometimes appearing in two
places at once, is a man looking for any and all information relating to
someone known as Crash Override. They use the same name every time as well:
TheyCallMeBenny. He leaves no information about himself aside from an e-mail
address: TheyCallMeBenny@Yahoogle.net. He only refers to himself as an
'interested party.'

So these two shadowplay reploids stand in front of a bar.
"Have you heard? Have you heard? Have you heard the news?"
"Javelin Whitetail's looking for video clips from the last six months!"
"She's collecting them for her latest project!"
"She's taking them from anyone, especially those who were in battle!"
"But she should be careful. There's the virus to worry about when she
takes submissions. After all, she *is* taking them from anyone."
"Does she know?"
"Does she know?"
"Does she know the risk?"

Not So Subtle Fri Oct 08 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems there was a bit of mayhem in the last week, on Eurasia. People
are pretty closemouthed about it, so the rumour takes awhile to get
around--and a lot of people discredit it, although they still pass it
on--after all, it's certainly not TOO farfetched. Javelin /is/ known for her
Maverick tendancies; even if Gate and Dr. Sarah Fairchild have both attested
to her nonViralness. As have the Mavericks themselves.
The Castle in the Sky is hardly a /subtle/ place to have dinner, even
if it was bought out; especially with a few floating pictures on fansites of
her getting out of a Maverick limo attended by what looks to be a giant
pickle. The dress looks nice, at least. But still--with the /Emperor/?
And then there was that mess with an Interpol officer, a giant
T-Rex--she nearly scratched his eyes out. It was way too easy for him to KO
her and haul her off in handcuffs; but Interpol is closemouthed as well about
that incident, other than that she's under guard and being scanned for the
Virus. It's a shame, really, especially with her new CD out. Wonder what'll
happen if they decide she /does/ need to be Hunted...

'Angel' of Mercy? Fri Oct 08 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumour has it that since the Battle and Chase Truce began, in the less-affluent
areas of San Angeles, a single cyborg woman has been travelling through the
underpriviledged neighbourhoods on a mission. She wears black - save for a
labcoat which is strangely and staunchly white, crammed full of medical
implements. Slung over her back is a shotgun, which she never seems to be
apart from, but more importantly she carries a duffel bag full of life-saving
medical equipment. Distributing medication to those in dire need, offering
somewhat back-alley surgical procedures to save lives, this 'wingless angel'
is doing her part to help the struggling populace.
However, not all is as it seems. It seems that this doctor only helps humans -
and seems to be focusing particularly on children. When she helps a human
adult, she asks for some form of donation: be it food, a place to sleep for a
night, or the chance to use the facilities to clean up. Another interesting
note is that she outright ignores any robotic life: Reploids who seek
assistance are rebuffed sharply, and on the very rare occasion she helps them,
she asks for steep (for the area) recompense - often enough to make those in
need seek help elsewhere.
Many locals are fearful, however - for the doctor has been making noises that
as soon as the truce is over, she's leaving for 'redder pastures', whatever
that might mean.
(OOC: Hi. I'm Sawsoff, local human medico-cyborg for hire. Curious? Want to
hire me? Or just RP? I hang out in San Angeles, on the move, and am almost
always RP_OK. I am anti-Reploid as a warning, however I am *not* limiting
myself; I will RP with any and all comers.)

Online Activity Sun Oct 10 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chatter on the forums has reached a odd high for a single topic, that topic
being the mysterious Habanero model, pictures of her in everything from
evening wear to poorly doctored photos of her wearing nothing at all (That
can't be her body she isn't curvy enough!). The big issue appears to be the
small riot that broke out after the recent public ad, as it was over her shirt
and pants... an interesting pair of items indeed. As expected they are being
heavily bid on at one of the online auction sites, and everyone is wondering
just where the bidding will stop, and then who will get the clothes... a tiny
black baby-tee, and a pair of jeans.
Habanero has recently updated their site exstensivly as well selling all kinds
of merchandise ranging from the mundaine: coffee mugs, cloths, and lingerie;
to the tasteless: a swimsuit calander, and an uncut video of the shooting of
the commercial featuring the model in bunny ears and a push-up bra.

GOGAI! GOGAI! GOGAI! Sun Oct 17 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So evidently a certain Whitetail is contacting top instrumentalists
around the globe--and offering rather insanely high pay for a one-shot
performance on a new piece. No titles available, not even leaked rumours,
because of the contract those musicians have to sign--and Javelin herself is
driving the rehearsals like a madwoman, barely giving a few hours to recharge
before going at it again. Recharge? Well, of course. The orchestra is reploids
only.
She's also been contacting various children's choirs in England;
evidently a contract is pending there as well, although she's /far/ gentler
with them than she has been with the individual instrumentalists. A good
thing, too. A thrown conductor's baton can leave a NASTY welt. Tickets are
expected to go on sale to the open public this wednesday--and given Eurasia's
status, it'll probably be hideously expensive. Expect to pay several thousand
zenny for the best seats--those that aren't reserved.
(OOC information forthcoming; it'll most likely be this weekend,
saturday or sunday night. Inter-faction event, all are welcome!)

If You Don't Seek The Truth Tue Oct 19 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It Will Seek You.
Rumors are spreading across the streets that StarDroids would, indeed, be
getting ready to appear again. The less skeptical civilians (as few as they
might be) whisper of horrible coincidences and words spread across the cities
of the world by a certain Agent Fetcher; such as how the StarDroid Venus'
symbol is an Egg, and how a "StarDroid Egg" was recently stolen, despite the
fact experts all around the world agree that this Egg is but a very large jewel.
These rumors, although slow and 99% of the time left alone and/or laughed at,
are still spreading at incredible rates. Some speak of an underground cult
bent on discovering the StarDroids' secrets. However, these rumors have
recently stopped spreading due to an unknown source. While the members of
society who still believe in Agent Fetcher's words talk of a conspiracy (there
are actually three KNOWN loonies who believe in Fetcher's words), the other
99% simply shrugs and more often than whatnot add the comment: "I wish someone
would just punch that crazy guy in InterPol already."
(OOC Tidbit: I think you people know to @mail Mulder by now if you want to have
some fun. Are you a believer? Mayhaps you have yet to see the Truth; or
perhaps do you SEEK it?)

Weekly World News Sun Nov 07 A Little Bird
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plastered across several major pulp mags and papparazzi such as Weekly World
News, the Enquirer and The Daily Planet is a run about the apparent
relationship that has fostered between Billionaire Industrialist Glyde Fabian
Loath and Professor Gate, famous for curing the Maverick Virus.
Headlines are generally along the idea of:
"WEALTH, POWER and IMAGINATION BEYOND THE WILDEST DREAMS!
Will the latest couple of Torontreal use their newfound love for good, or for
evil? Unlimited resources, Unlimited Intellect -- Unlimited Love for Each
Other!"
An image is shown of Glyde and Gate on the streets of Torontreal, Glyde seeming
to have swooned into Gate's arms, with Gate tenderly and affectionatly holding
him. Nearby, curiously enough, is someone recognizable as those in the know as
Feste, who is swooning in a similar way into the arms of someone recognizable
as Bowie.
This too is mentioned in the subsequent writeup about Gate and Glyde's supposed
relationship.
"Friends of the soon to wed pair? Clearly, there is more than enough love to go
around!"

Word on the street in San Angeles and Aztlan that, shocking but true,
Guardian Fairy Leviathan has just recently hooked up with Strider Hien--

Ladies Like A Nice Chest Sat Nov 27 A Little Bird

Mmmmmm, tabloids.
The text of the various articles vary as per preferences, but the basic
news is the same - evidently one Chest, provider of GNN news the world over,
was seen helping a /very/ inebriated Javelin Whitetail out of a bar, into a
limo, and then out of the limo again - and INTO GNN central in San Angeles.
Where she proceeded to spend at least one night if not more. Pictures? Plenty
of them. Some of them also include a gold-and-white ferret sitting at the bar
table with Chest and Javelin - Thespian Ferret, of moderate reknown.
Neither Chest nor Javelin were available for comment.

Bass Trashes Gaming Server? Fri Dec 17 A Little Bird

Rumors spread throughout the 'net that some sort of avatar calling himself
Bass.EXE took a virtual volley-ball game hostage earlier in the evening.
Various avatars report that he trapped an entire field with some sort of blue
forcefield, and that he mopped the floor with THREE elite class avatars! Much
posting on various boards from different witnesses claiming that they saw the
sheer devastation that Bass.EXE caused.
There are even reports that the Avatar STOLE attack program data from ALL the

Rumours are flying about Javelin Whitetail's recent disappearance. A

custody with Interpol - and no one knows where. Then, as soon as Christmas Day
has arrived, she reappears on public radio.
Coincidence?

For a limited time only!
Probably, anyways. Rumour has it that after two weeks of being held in
'protective custody' by Interpol, Javelin Whitetail is out and about again.
This doesn't seem to be making a big difference, since no one can usually find
her when they actually /do/ want to, anyways.
Neither party was available for comment on why she was being held, or
why the sudden discharge.
