Gotham San Angeles 1960

## Quick Peak

Red Carpet evolved into Gotham, at first into a gritty film noir feel surrounding the city and beyond, and then as the original Batman 1960s style of costuming and technology. Batman was mayor now dead. evolving again

## Notes on Batman and On Red Carpet turning to Gotham

9/16/2018 - Joshua McKay - Hot Realms (excerpt)- Gotham (was Red carpet San Angeles) - is no longer 21st century, now 1950s/60s. Several of us are still wanted as the Injustice League. As superheroes have started appearing a good disguise is as a superhero. See Alex's post re getting a costume designed for you. Also due to the regression to 50s/60s our pictures won't be around as much (no internet etc), will be harder for people who do recognise us to report us (no mobile phones). Also there are new supervillians and an evil organisation that will also take the heat off us.

9/25/2018 - Glenn James - Red Carpet stuff - The servitor of Yellow is Batman. Batman is also a vampire

9/30/2018 - Glenn James - Batman needs killing. I don't care who does it. He is the mayor of SA, a vampire, and the servitor of Yellow (beware infection.) By night, he is at City Hall, presumably doing mayor stuff. He has lots of henchmen (Renfields) here. During the day he hides out at the "Department of Transportation". The DoT seems fortified and possibly trapped. To travel between the two, he goes up to the roof, transforms into a swarm of bats, and flies away. He also likes to stand on the roof at midnight and pose dramatically. Occasionally, (once a week? once a month? irregularly?) he flies out to the "Bat Cave" in the desert at X,Y coordinates, kind of near the house with no floor. The Bat Cave is also connected to the sewers of disappointment. If he finds out you are on to him, he will probably unilaterally declare that you are a comic book villain and put up photoshopped wanted posters of you.

10/15/2018 - The Rock - Hot Realms - Gothic is hot as hell. You are all wanted for the assassination of the Bat-Man, and are now referred to as the "Injustice League." Even your fellow Smurfs (i.e.: Me) are in trouble and wanted for questioning. Mildred got me in some trouble in the White War too, but I can't figure out what that is, other than I was used to relay messages to her. If y'all have any information, please help me out.

1/20/2019 - Joshua - Travel Advisory - Gotham - perpetually dark/night, chilly, rain. Becoming Film Noir. Gothic, oppressive, gritty. Phone booths starting to be put up, less and less people using mobile phones, Library back to card index and print newspapers, with the computers unplugged in the corner. People beginning to gain super powers. Currently mainly weird, bad ones. Super powers gaining strength over time. From checking people about 1 in every 50 have a magic aura so likely have super powers manifest. Super powers occurring all over the world. We were unable to determine if an AI was behind it and were unable to check on Brown. The film noir conversion isolated to Gotham. Once you leave the area, it's sunny again. Injustice League (several of our group) still public enemy number one with speculation as to why no sightings over the lat two months. The police and government getting dumber and more corrupt. Arkham Sanitarium open for business. Bat Cave was blown up Micheal Bay style, likely when Batman died. Monsters with eyes in the palms of their hands have been getting killed in various methods. We found indications of 8 being killed. From the MO we are confident that Maddie is behind the killings.

2/12/2019 - Aeolous - [Encrypted] Special "guest" over in Burlington - Yes. I meant what I said – Gotham. It has changed back to the 50s-60s and some of the people now appear to have… odd superpowers. I wonder what would happen if the people there were to be given knowledge of advanced technology… But not necessarily shown it.

2/12/2019 - Joshua - You just need to play into the paradigm of the place. eg with Gotham the laptop is a gadget that is part of your super hero/villain abilities. Lots of supers use futuristic/high tech gadgets that were beyond what was typical of the time error they were in.

2/13/2019 - \*Static\* A young African boys voice sounds out “Mr Alex says if anyone wants to go to Gotham and blend in, he will be more than happy to make you a fabulous super hero/villain costume with his amazing skills of disguise.” The next is said very quickly “Subject matter of said costumes are at the whim of the creator, Mr Alex will not be held responsible for any harm or damage caused to said wearer of his costumes due to upset bystanders or DORA stupidity, please read instructions carefully, Ts and Cs apply, instructions and batteries not included. “ \*Static\*

2/19/2019 - Aeolous - [Encrypted] Revitalising Gotham - This may be a harebrained idea but hear me out. With the recent nuking of Cyberpunk we are left with no real technologically-inclined zones. Alien Takeover is one that still exists, yes, but there is barely any infrastructure there and the whole "blue flame" thing is a bit troublesome. What if we attempted to alter one of the zones ourselves? They seem to "change" when certain events take place, such as when Batman took over Gotham, over a period of time. This brings me onto my idea… Since Gotham is currently in the 50s-60s, what if we introduced technology to them? With the whole superhero thing going on there, I think it would be reasonable for a "Techno-Hero" to emerge with the gift of, say, mobile communications (cellphones). They and their budding superhero Allies would approach an entrepreneur and pitch their idea, hoping for an investment, after which they'll receive royalties. Or something. Basically they'll make money. Look I ain't the businessman over here. Not only would this have the benefit of a potential steady income, but it would also mean the zone might change over time which is what I- er I mean we want. … So anyone familiar with business and shit like that? I can build a simple mobile phone and show it off as a prototype (assuming I can get the parts), but I'd need to do a bit more research on telecommunications as I'm not an expert on how cellphone towers and all that works… I just need someone who knows how to pitch an idea to them businesspeople with a proper proposal. Otherwise they might just think I'm a loony. So yeah that's my idea.

2/19/2019 - Joshua - Having a better understanding as to what caused the world to devolve to the 50/60's may be worth looking into. Batman was more the modern version. He wasn't the 60's version. The world did not change until after his death. I think there are other factors. eg the removal of White and Brown changing. As to someone with business acumen, I don't know of anyone in our group. You may need to see if you can find someone in Gotham who is trustworthy. And get someone else to look over the contracts etc before you sign them.

3/7/2019 - Joshua - Things which need doing - Gotham - IS Clems still standing? Did you try and remove the influence of Batman from Gotham (assuming this is what is causing supers to be attracted to there) eg talk to his ghost that Doc has or destroying his ghost? Or check Brown out if it has something to do with it (possibly in combo with Batman)

3/7/2019 - Aeolous - Things which need doing - Last we were there Clem's was still up, but a considerable amount of time has passed since then. We have done zero investigation as to the cause of all this. We only went there to get some things outside of Gotham.

3/10/2019 - Aeolous - Things which need doing (excerpt)- Gotham is in ruins due to the Superheroes & Villains' conflict. Clem's is destroyed, meaning you can get there but not back. It appears that Gotham's "dark influence" is spreading to other neighbouring cities. The Army was called in to help with the Superhero VS Villains problem but they were quickly wiped out. Is Batman's absence the cause of all this?

3/21/2019 - Tom Tom - Gotham Reset?? - Before I forget Doc and I slipped into the police station and made a phone call and asked for Gotham to be restarted, keep us posted if it worked!!!

3/24/2019 - Aeolous - Gotham Reset?? - The one in Burlington. There is a telephone in the back office that goes out to the "agents". You'll need to think of a clever way of getting around the Sheriff and his deputy if you want to use it. They are also unaware that they even have this telephone, apparently. You should be able to just bullshit your way in if you act nice enough.

3/24/2019 - Doc Fulton - Gotham Reset?? - the phone is now bolted down... and they were really nice when I called about gotham... I just gave my name and well... something's happening
