Today is not a good day to be taking the rail through Gotham. At least, not at this particular rail station.
Wayne Central. Great station. All done up nice and pretty since the 'incidents'.
Four lockers.
Four trash cans.
Two Benches.
Each of these items contains within it one of
these lovely devices. They work on a timer, and when that

...The drawbacks of the technology become plain as someone's already-terrified dog begins howling for its life. Well, fortunately stealth is hardly his problem here.
No bombs, and a fairly simple triggering device. He deactivates and finds another. And another. Gradually the gas starts clearing, and he takes a moment to examine the device in his hands more closely, looking for clues.
The device is clean of fingerprints, but its batteries are not. He leaves the device on its back with the battery case open. Gordon will understand, and if there are fingerprints on these batteries, there will be prints on the others.
And then, everyone will understand when Batman delivers the suspect.

Despite the panic and rush of bodies and the random gunshots - one of his men's or a civilian's? - Gordon can make out two other figures running into the thick of the danger, two people keeping low, trying to remain out of sight. He first caught a glimpse of them from the second tier, looking down over a railing into the massive expanse of the gilded lobby. It was only a brief moment of recognition, a slight thought making the tiniest of appearances in the back of his mind, 'There's something else at work here.' But as soon as it had come, it had passed.
"Commissioner!" A sergeant in a black gas mask calls out of breath as he runs toward Gordon. "They found something!"
Jim follows him to a locker room two floors down, in the basement of the station. The sergeant leads him to an opened locker where there rests a small object that on first glance appears to be a golf ball, but once he's close enough Gordon can easily see that it's some other kind of device.
"This must be what was used to release the toxin," he shouts through his own gas mask. He picks it up and sure enough it is obviously a timing mechanism.
Then it hits him, when he sees the batteries lying on the bottom of the locker. And out of the corner of his eye he can almost swear he sees a shadow move.
"I want the rest of the building searched for devices exactly like this!" he says to the other officers who have assembled in the basement just outside the locker room. "Look everywhere, lockers, trashcans, empty boxes, and when you find one take out the batteries and seal them in evidence bags. I want these fingerprinted immediately!"
"You think these might lead us to a suspect?" a young officer asks as Gordon hands him the device.
"Call it a hunch."
As the others rush back into the locker room or up the stairs to the lobby and the floors above, Gordon takes a moment in the dark basement stairwell, silently thanking the Batman. 'We'll have the perp in our custody within the night... with any luck.'

Getting on is easy, just go to http://mibbit.com and up at the top you will see a field that says IRC: Mibbit IRC. Change this to Darkmyst [it is not alphabetical because...we don't understand why it is not alphabetical, but it's right under DALnet which is easier to find]. Change the nick to whatever you'd like, and the channel to #thenarrows and lo, success!))

Also, I posted sometime recently in this community, but I wasn't sure whether I should tag [info]knight_so_dark or anyone really before they replied. How does tagging work? Is it like an invitation, or something that gets added along the way?
Sorry for being such a n00b.
And the post I made is open for any replies from Batman/mun, if you're so inclined.))
