Very, very early this morning, the Riddler and Query cracked and emptied a bank vault. They've pulled off this particular trick, before. The "fun" for the bank and law enforcement will be in figuring out just how Eddie pulled it off, this time. It's boring to pull off the exact same job, twice, even for an opening move ( Read more... )

Confetti, glowsticks, free hot chocolate for all the kiddies, and an awful lot of boys in blue -- it's New Year's Eve in Gotham City. This year, as with most other years, the main festivities are being held at Merchant's Square. Neatly affixed to one of the taller buildings, there's a giant, video screen and throughout the evening there will be ( Read more... )

It seems Judah's gotten it in his head that it's all right to be rude to his superiors, so Eddie's here to come check out whatever little project this guy thinks he's going to carry out in the warehouse he found for him. What? Of course he has a copy of the keys. He's the one who found the warehouse. Let's see what's here ( Read more... )

Welcome to Arkham, Query. It's got long spooky hallways and creepy prisoners and her right shoe keeps squeaking on the linoleum. Even though she has her regular blond hair pulled back in a French braid (and doesn't she feel about ten fucking years old, complaining while her mom meticulously plaited away?) and all her tattoos covered, she still ( Read more... )

The truly terrifying thing is that, when he truly wants to --has to-- Spider cleans up rather nicely. In the suit that was purchased for him to wear to award ceremonies and horn rimmed glasses over his blood shot eyes, he seems almost like a normal human being. Kelly is a very believable college grad student, carrying her digital camera and his ( Read more... )

Spider sits at the foot of his bed. He wears nothing but his boxers, and only has those on because the neighbors threatened to report him if he continued to go out to get his newspaper and mail in the nude. He finishes his cigarette and stubs it out in the already overflowing ashtray at his side. The paper has been read and lays scattered on the ( Read more... )

Wednesday is for making phone calls. He's sitting in a nice little room, observed and monitored of course, and has just wrapped up a nice conversation with his lawyer about how business is going these days, et cetera. The lawyer remains interesting, and is a bit less frustrating, now that there is a plan. Only a bit, however. He is still, after ( Read more... )

This is not the least classy bar in town, or even the Narrows, but a great deal of that has to do with the fact it's one in the afternoon and there are only two patrons inside -- a trucker watching soap operas on the TV over the bar, and Query. She is sulking into her whisky with her face propped up in her hand, such that her cheek looks all ( Read more... )

Big cities tend to have monuments. Gotham's got a good history behind it. It has its share. Sure, it has the ugly modern art, but we've been there, dealt with that. Downtown, many cities have that kind of monument, you know, the sort that might also be a fountain, might be in memory of the honored dead of some such war or another, has a lot of ( Read more... )

This is a lovely undisclosed location! It's secret, and it's got ALL THIS MONEY LYING AROUND OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME ( Read more... )
