At Warriors

[itsastretch]

Ralph is in an unusually sober mood as he enters the bar. He's not sure if Ollie has told anyone else the reason behind the gathering, and it really doesn't matter. He just needs to get out of the house for a while. People are greeted with waves, small nods, or the occasional slight smile - though his heart is obviously not into the latter. "Thanks for coming guys, glad you could make it."

Ralph looks at Guy with genuine gratitude, then nods. "I might take you up on that... but later. There's too much going on to take more than a short beer break with the guys... I think Ra's al-Ghul is up to something... been going over current reports... Scarecrow was up to something, just too random... and some of the other things. Trying to tie them all together, but there's something big going on... I wish I could talk to the Scarecrow... not sure why... but I think he could clear a lot up."
He pauses, then sighs. "I've been kind of throwing myself into detective work as a distraction... and yes, Ted is doing important work. He's still a good guy... I know it. Just kind of blind sided me. And.. well... he's Ted. you can't hate Ted."

Dude. I'd be outa my mind. This is serriously f-ed up.
Ted's my friend too but...damn. I never figured Sue to be such a bi.. well ah you know.

Well my house is open if ya ever need buddy.

*Guy has managed to clean several glasses, serve drinks, change out food platters and sell cigars without loosing a beat in the conversation. All without the help of the ring.*

Ras freakin Al Ghul?? Wait a sec. Batman's super satilted got pinched and Ras is up to something??? Doesn't this sound familiar to you?

"Oh, I am about out of my mind, believe me. Just... kind of burying myself in work to try and not go insane. As for Ted... I'm upset. As long as I've known him and all... but he's still Ted. As for Sue... I don't have to like it, but I have to say I understand. The work we do is dangerous... she's died, and only came back due to a supervillain, of all things. That's a lot of pressure. So I'm just trying to kind of make my way through it, since I can't really be upset at them... at least while I'm sober."

He pauses, considering. "And yeah, it does sound kind of familiar. I just know Ra's has something really big going... big enough to fake his own death... again, disappear and abandon a hideout and a lot of people without a second thought, including the mystic stuff he had used on his grandson... seems out of character, unless all of that is comparitively small. So I'm trying to find likely henchmen, patsies and distractions... active of late, that points me towards the Scarecrow."

I can fix the sober part.
