[Instead of her usual office wear, Leslie is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. There is a duffle bag at her side and a hard hat on her desk. There’s a determined look on her face – one that any of her friends at home might recognize, but one that is new to these people. She came here to do a job, and now’s the time to do it.]
Hello everyone. This is Leslie Knope: chairwoman of the newly formed “Habitable Gotham” committee. All of our goals are right there in the name. If this city is ever going to be a place that people live in again, they all need to be encouraged to treat it as such.
With that in mind, our goal for the next two days is simple. We are going to rebuild a park. Seeking any and all volunteers, now.
[Private to Benton Fraser, Mark Hoffman, Steve Rogers, and Dick Grayson.]
Can I count on your support?

I think it's the only time.

Date: 2012-06-01 01:20 pm (UTC)All right. I had been planning to remain with my inmate, but he's proving himself to be remarkably capable, anyway. [He's so proud of you, Roy, even if you hate him.] I'll come and help when this area is secure.

All right. If you think this will build morale, then I'll help secure the area while others work.

Date: 2012-05-30 02:14 pm (UTC)Transport would be amazing. We can't send most of our volunteers out for supplies without. Well.
[Basically, anyone without sufficient training in not being murdered is going to stick to the park.]
The buddy system is going to be very important, today.

Date: 2012-05-30 02:16 pm (UTC)...and in terms of self-defense?

Date: 2012-05-30 02:17 pm (UTC)I can defend myself adequately - I've mostly been rescuing people from the air.

Date: 2012-05-30 02:21 pm (UTC)That's great! There's all kinds of stuff hiding up in the tree branches that is just not kid friendly.

Date: 2012-05-30 12:48 pm (UTC)I do not have much time, but I need a break from rescuing people. [And for his body to work about twenty bullets out of it. Yay Gotham.] Perhaps you have need of someone to do the heavy lifting?

Date: 2012-05-30 02:19 pm (UTC)We've got some fallen trees, old cars, and piles of burnt out something. Something tells me there's not going to be a tow truck along to help move it.

[He means that literally. A slightly ragged figure drops out of the sky and lands in the middle of the park, then starts peering around curiously at the work to be done.]
