(Okay, sweet. It doesn't matter to me whether or not you want to annoy him more or less. XD Ray usually wanders outside/watches movies in his basement in the daytime, and sleeps/walks home at nighttime. If that helps any. Pardon my indecisiveness. ^^)

The sun was close to setting... Perfect. After stretching and popping their neck, the person known as Karma suited up and headed out of the house for some fresh air - or as fresh as was possible through a full face mask. They stayed mostly to the shadows and that, coupled with their dark suit and one of their powers - made them go almost completely unnoticed to any passerby. After failing to find any active crimes or otherwise in the first forty-ish minutes, Karma decided to pursue their other favorite pastime... It didn't take long. A couple of streets over, Karma spotted some poor guy standing out in front of a popular pizza place and dancing with one of those signs. Although his bodily moves were lively, the man looked bored out of his mind. Best alleviate that. Karma ducked into the alley across the road, focused intently on the pizza guy, and quietly murmured 'drop it, drop it, drop it...' -- approximately four seconds later, the dancing man very unexpectedly dropped the sign. A sudden breeze immediately began carrying it down the sidewalk and the guy scrambled after it with a frustrated shout. Karma looked on with glee and chuckled quietly.

"Get out! This isn't a hotel! You've been sleeping for nearly thirty minutes and haven't bought anything!" A shout came from the door of the pizza place. One final shove and a man with greasy, slicked back, copper hair and the startings of a beard stumbled out of the pizza place. He was a big, strong looking man, but his skin had a strange grey pallor. This was Ray. The man who had shouted briefly glanced down at his hands, cast a final glare at Ray and disappeared back inside. Ray yawned. He was unimpressed, but he didn't seem too upset. Time to go. Ray stepped out onto the sidewalk, his foot slapping down the sign that had been blowing away. He stared down at it for a few moments, before glancing up to see a guy scramble to a stop before him. It took him a few moments to recall him as the guy who had been dancing with the sign earlier. The poor guy spent most of his day wasting his energy. Ray bent down to pick it up, but forgetting to lift his foot off one edge of the sign, he broke it right into two. Oops. "Uh..." He bent down to retrieve the piece under his foot. He held out both pieces out to the man.

The pizza guy inhaled sharply with a wince as the sign was broken into two pieces. I hope that doesn't come out of my check... With a fierce glare and a grumble beneath his breath, he snatched the broken pieces of the sign away and stormed into the restaurant without a word to Ray.
Across the narrow two lane street, Karma was trying not to guffaw too loudly. That was perfect! The look on the man's face! The trickster shook their head and glanced at Ray, as though debating whether to try something on him or move on to more targets people. They didn't typically talk to people outside their team, unless it was to exchange witty banter with criminals, threaten people that ticked them off, or oddly enough, randomly pass along some sage advice to those that would listen. The costumed teenager was wildly unpredictable and contradictory.

(Holly/Lotus is open...)
Lotus found herself agitated as she sat on a roof, cold and calculating gaze set forward. With her memories gone, she had turned crueler, wathcing others from afar. Her hair still was ebony, and eyes still green, she was in a pale white outfit, black leggings under the white and rose kimono she wore.

Ray watched the pizza guy storm away. So much for trying to be helpful. With a loud sigh, he turned and began to walk away. His stomach growled, but he felt that he had overstayed his welcome at the pizza place. It was time to move on. Maybe he could whip something up at home. As ideas of food drifted through his head, Ray continued to walk casually down the sidewalk. Some child wearing an overly large hooded sweater briefly bumped into him, but Ray didn't even seem to notice. The child grinned from underneath her hood and discretely stuffed a wallet into the pocket of her sweater. She swiftly turned into an alleyway, and disappeared into the shadows.
At the dead end of the alleyway, she took the wallet out and opened it. She quietly cursed to herself.

(Yes. A raspberry. XD A big juicy one, just not too juicy, or it would explode upon pulling the trigger. It was either that or a grape. That's Zed for you.) --- "Sure, thanks," Waro huffed in amusement, before closing the hatch behind him. He walked around the corner, to the washroom, where he took off his shirt and proceeded to redress the graze on his arm. His entire body was sore today, but he knew there was nothing better than walking it off. --- Zed pressed a button and the bars rose into the ceiling, enabling Isaac to walk out of the cell. "Maybe, maybe not." He didn't mention the precautions he had planned just in case. "Waro and Hornet left quite a while ago. A day perhaps, maybe a little less," Zed told him, tipping his hand from side to side. "I was actually hoping you'd come. But I thought it would be by the directions of Blink, not by someone tracking me down." Zed shook his head. He had become too easy to find. There were too many enemies out there that could catch on. Hornet watched him go, biting her lip to silence herself. What was there to say then? With whatever mind she had, she began to plan how to tell him how she felt. Then almost immediately abandoned that, because that is a terrible plan. --- Isaac stopped glowing and nodded. "Yeah. This isn't a very safe place now. Maybe tell Blink to be more careful coming back. Also, is that his name? Waro?" He passed right by Zed towards another door.

(Holly/Lotus is open...) Lotus found herself agitated as she sat on a roof, cold and calculating gaze set forward. With her memories gone, she had turned crueler, wathcing others from afar. Her hair still was ebony, and eyes still green, she was in a pale white outfit, black leggings under the white and rose kimono she wore. (K) Hiiiiiisssssssssss... CRACK!!! A small, brightly glowing comet streaked westward across the sky, bouncing lightly over the wispy clouds like a stone skipping across a placid lake. Upon nearing the center of the city below, its path arched and began a quick, spiraling downward descent toward some rooftops. Approximately ten feet before crashing into the building, the 'comet' came to a break-neck stop and began to expand and contort lightning fast until it reached the size, shape and proportions of an adolescent male. SNAP. An instant later, a blue-skinned teen sauntered across the roof with an equally silly grin. His hair was black and white, and swept back into a wild and electrified shape. His costume was red, white contrasting white gloves and boots. A black and yellow logo adorned his chest, which was a letter 'F' with an exclamation point. He gave a mock salute at the only other person perched on the roof, before striking a dramatic pose on the edge to watch over the city, his hand held to his brow.

Lotus looked up, before she turned her head, green eyes and black hair visible. She looked a bit confused, something that would possibly be offsetting, seeing that she worked alongside Freak and Karma just months prior. Her voice came off as accusatory as well, but definitely hers, “Who are you?” She questioned, her green eyes narrowed, as she went to stand.
(Hmm, I think the last thing they did was have Lotus say she didn’t trust Orion and then leave for a while again?)

The theft hadn't gone unnoticed, but they hesitated. What would a child have need of stealing? Usually that meant they didn't have enough to eat at home, or they were being manipulated by someone. Shaking their head, they hurriedly crossed the street at an angle to wear Ray was walking. Once on the other side, they began to wave their black gloved hands around in an attempt to grab the man's attention. It was dark, and Karma's eyesight wasn't the greatest even without a mask. They figured two pairs of eyes searching for the thief would garner better results.

Freakazoid's fleeting attention span went back to Lotus for a moment, and an eyebrow quirked. "Oh, you mean moi?" He brought a hand to his chest and cocked his head like a curious puppy, frowning. Wasn't this someone who knew him? Unless, of course it was a clone, twin, doppleganger, or alternate universe counterpart. Or... what if a villain had erased her memories, or she had amnesia due to a terrible accident? A million and one possibilities spun through his wild imagination which served to deepen the frown to something concerned.

Lotus huffed, “Yes.” She barked out, her green eyes narrowed as she stood, “You.” She finished, arms crossed over her chest, a tunic covered the kimono. She then backed up slightly, he had powers, his entrance made her aware of that. “What are you doing up here anyways?” She added on, her tone questioning. Around her neck, the blue crystal laid, a large crack visible throughout it’s center. The golden bell, a half of the yellow crystal glimmerings and the yin crystal attached to her tunic as a side charm.

Freak's eyes searched her over for any outward clue to her identity, and he easily spotted the crystals and other artifacts that Holly was known for. "I'm Freakazoid. Aren't you Holly?" A cloud of doubt hung in his voice, as though a child asking for something that he knew his parents would say no to. He ignored the second question for now. Holly's memories seemed more important.

Waro finished up his average job at wrapping his arm. It was mostly healed, it would just take one more day before he could go without. He rolled down his sleeve and walked to the front door. Opening it, he reached into his mail box and pulled out the day's newspaper. After locking the door behind him, he headed into the kitchen. He poured himself a cup of coffee and left a second cup there. "Coffee's ready!" he called, before walking towards the table. He snatched an open box of Ritz crackers from the counter on his way. Once seated at the table, he proceeded to alternate between eating a cracker and sipping his coffee, all the while, reading the newspaper before him. --- "Yep, Waro's his name. Well... It's the one he took for himself, anyways." Either Zed didn't hold much respect for Waro's secrecy, or he completely trusted Isaac. Maybe it was both, or maybe it was neither. He watched Isaac's progress with a raised brow. "Um, I wouldn't go in there if I were you," he mused. --- Ray snapped from his thoughts when from the dim lighting of a streetlight, he noticed some strange person dressed in black waving. He glanced behind him, but there was no one there. This creepy masked man must be trying to get his attention. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What do you want?"

Lotus looked puzzled, “I don’t believe I am? My name’s Lotus,” a flower symbolizing rebirth, somewhat fitting. “But Night called me that too, I wonder if this Holly looks like I do?” She questioned, Night was a well known villain, one known for his crimes, and attempt on the mayor. “And who are you?” She questioned, eyes wide, “You’re not the person who took my memories, are you?” She questioned, seeming more defensive now.

Karma stopped and exhaled sharply when Ray asked the question. "Dude, someone just made off with your wallet. Did you not notice?" The voice sounded somewhere between masculine and feminine, but definitely young, and the prankster tilted their head at Ray. "It looks like the kid went that way." They pointed at the darkened alley. "I can help you catch 'em."
At the statement, Freak began to lightly pace in a nervous manner. "So you're either Holly, with memories gone... or you just so happen to look exactly like her, and have the same kind of crystals she does. Somehow." Most of that was murmured, and it wasn't clear it any of it was meant for Lotus. Upon hearing the accusation, Freak came to a sudden stop and shook his head wildly. "No, I would never! I don't even know how to erase anyone's memories. I'm Freakazoid. One of the city's heroes." He declared.

Jerome smiled and started laughing."Bad move."He said as he formed a portal under him and Rosie big enough for them to fall through.He then opened one up behind Rose as he fell through and they then came out of the portal behind her."Check you're 6."He said as he smacked her in the back of the head.

Ray glanced at the alley mentioned. He dug into his pocket, grabbing for his wallet, but his hand came back empty. It seemed the masked person hadn't lied about that. "No. I didn't notice." Another downfall caused today, by his lack of feeling. It could be a trap; a thug who lures him into the alley, where they and their buddies could gang up on him. Not that they could really do anything to him. He probably should get that wallet back. Not many things mattered to him, but he had some things in there that he didn't want to lose track of. Ugh... This night was going to be a drag. "Fine. Let's get this over with," he sighed, turning toward the alley.

Rosie was ready to move this time, and was about to do so, when suddenly the floor opened up beneath her. She squeaked, as she fell into the portal. Despite having done it before, it was still a hard feeling to get used to. She found her feet somewhere behind Jerome and Rose. That was when she caught sight of the withered flower petals at Bastet's feet. Hanahaki! She finally recalled the ability wielded by the one called Hanahaki. She returned her concerned gaze to Rose and Jerome.

Karma got a head start to the darkened alleyway, slowing when it became difficult to see. Times like that made it all the more tempting to lift the mask, just a bit... Too risky. They looked around while waiting for the man to catch up. Truth be told, Karma probably could use some kind of corrective lenses, even if it was just contacts, but refused to wear them. They hoped the thief hadn't got too far with that wallet. If so, poor guy.

Lotus found her gaze narrowed still. "I am not Holly, I'm afraid you are confusing me with someone else." She assured. She turned around calm, but her eyes went wide, and she turned, magic glowing in her eyes as he proclaimed he was a hero. "Night says heroes took my memory, that they place to hault his goals." She growled out.

(Went back and re-read a post. Just gonna assume that Freak has at least heard of him...)
Freak appeared completely taken aback. He held his palms out defensively. "I don't know of any heroes that would do that, and I know a lot of heroes. You said... Night? From what I know, he's a villain. A really bad one. Villains lie. You can't trust them." He tried to reason with her.
