- Dr. Edward Campbell was killed last night at St. Teresa's Sanitarium. According to reports, he was in charge of the Joker."There has been growing concern for the Joker over the last two week, as his mental state seems to be slipping," says Dr.Bonhomme. "His doctors claim that he's been standing in the middle of his cell, facing the wall, and not sleeping or eating. After days of monitoring his behavior and seeing that he hadn't moved, Dr. Campbell went to check on him and Joker immediately snapped his neck. Security couldn't move fast enough to stop it ...Campbell was a good man, we'll miss him."

Campbell leaves behind a wife and two daughters who have arranged a wake and memorial service on Saturday. The Joker has been moved to a more high security cell but so far there are no signs of change in his behavior.

- In celebration of World Intellectual Property Day, a collective of SPU law students are protesting at Hillsdale and Hawthorne campuses today, raising awareness for the limited intellectual property rights of AGI and SERO affiliated students. The protesters are urging students at both universities to take a stand against the fine print that’s robbing them of compensation for their creative due.

“Did you know that undergrad or graduate students who discovers or invents a leading scientific advancement while a student at Hillsdale cannot apply for a private patent?” Wendy Whitman, Junior and rallying organizer of the protest, told reporters in front of her dormitory this morning. “That students who write an award winning play or write a published novella for their classwork at Hawthorne are automatically putting their work under the University’s corporate copyright? These universities are charging tuition for their student bodies to act as their unpaid think tanks.Students are unwittingly signing away a small fortune in brilliant ideas to the companies every semester!”

[ooc: Feel like joining the rally? These protesters will be brutalized by corporate campus security and subsequently arrested for trespassing on school property and disturbing the peace in an ‘intellectual environment’. Passersby on either campus may get caught in the crossfire of conflict too.]

- FOR SALE, CHEAP: A bracelet with a strange charm, a gift from my grandfather, a notorious prankster. He said the bracelet is a cure for hiccups that he found on the black market, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's quite pretty and could be worth something. It might also give you the hiccups forever, knowing my grandfather. I don't wear jewelry, so really it's of no use to me. You can also see me for a necklace with a fish charm that definitely makes you smell like tuna salad, and an old couch that farts when you sit on it. Please contact XARON for more details.

[As the shot in her mind rings out, Jubilee flails and the phone in her hand kicks on as she drops it. The video shows a run down shabby room. A patched, sagging couch, and an old TV complete with rabbit ears. There's the sounds of drunken brawling, bellowing, and the clinking of glass. (Those in the know will recognize the sounds of Madripoor.)

There's also the soft sound of someone weeping. Then Danger Room Protocols kick in and all that's left is the sound of weeping as Jubilee buries her face in her knees.]

Wolvie....

[OOC: Anyone who can pick up on dreams/psychic turmoil is free to do so, because her shields are lower than usual. Those in the house with Danger Room Access are welcome to come action it out.]

[ Zoey appears to be worse for wear - there are bruises along her cheekbones and several stitches on the left side of her forehead. Her lower lip busted, and with some of the circles underneath her eyes, making her appearing more exhausted than she actually is.

The anger, however, is perfectly legit. Normally she would have been yelling and just absolutely be off the walls, but spending time in the force made her to contain it a little better, but not a whole lot, judging by the cold fury radiating from her stiff posture. ]

Remember Kent State? I don't, that was before my time. I remember learning about it in school, though all I really remember was the photograph.

[ She pinches the place right between the eyebrows, eye closing briefly. When she opens them again, her eyes were dark and distant and angry. ]

Campus security is filled with more assholes than the police force. That should be the accomplishment of all Being-A-Fucking-Dick-award.

To put this into context: there was some student protests at Hillsdale on copyright or whatever. I decided to check it out. What everyone gets for being even near that rally? Pepper spray and tasers and batons, oh fucking my, those motherfucking dipshits. One bastard just would not fucking stop even after I identified myself as an officer.

[ She gestures to the facial wounds with a limp hand, her knuckles red and obviously grazed, judging by the amount of bandages wrapping around her hand. ]

A lot of people were hurt, including me. Some are still in the hospital, and others are arrested. A good part of people caught up in that mess were just passing by, either just checking it out but not being involved, or just trying to get to class.

[ She spits, wiping her lips with her fists. ]

Fuck those guys. Just fuck 'em.

[There was a frown upon his face when he had turned the NV on.]

Guess it's been a while since I went 'nd used this here thing... I... don't know anymore.
