1/13/1986
It's been two months since my buddy passed on.
I am of course talking about Walter Kovacs, a.k.a. Rorschach, one of the members of a former superhero team known as the Watchmen. I am one of the only few remaining team members. My name is Daniel Dreiberg, but everyone knows me as the Nite Owl, or Nite Owl II, rather. My predecessor was a man named Hollis Mason, until he died. He also died recently. Rorschach died in November 1985, and as of now, the only remaining (and surviving) members of the team are me, Laurie Jupiter / Silk Spectre II, Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias, and Jon Osterman / Dr. Manhattan. We're no longer together. Rorschach's murder by Dr. Manhattan (which Rorschach requested himself) was the dissolution of the Watchmen.
So where am I, or where is everyone else? I'm continuing to fight crime around the country, following in the footsteps of Rorschach. He was not your typical hero. He was sort of a villain, too. He robbed, he murdered, he did most things a kid-friendly superhero on a Saturday morning cartoon wouldn't. He also wrote in a journal, which I'm doing now that there's no one to write for him. As for the other Watchmen, Ozymandias is on the run while Silk Spectre is trying to go after him. That's why she and I haven't seen each other in a while. Dr. Manhattan is still up in Space. He went up there after he killed Rorschach, and he hasn't come back down since; probably because if he did, the world would see him as the one responsible for the Cold War in some ways. So while the few remaining Watchmen are doing their own thing, I'm trying to finish Rorschach's business.
If there's an afterlife and he can see through it, I'm sure Rorschach would be proud.
Author's notes
The rest of the story will be Nite Owl journal entries focusing on battles with other DC Comics. Characters non-existent in the Watchmen universe will appear, some mentioned, some not, so expect this story to be VERY loose from the comics.
Oh, and for those of you wondering where I've been, I've been dealing with school, jobs, and all that. Being totally honest with myself, I kinda forgot a little bit about Konata-vania, which is why I haven't continued it yet. I hope to, but I can't promise when, as I eventually came up with writing a script for a REAL movie (outside of Fanfiction, that is). So that's about it. I'm gonna go work on the next chapter now. Hope you're excited and stay tuned! :D
