Sooo, the Policeman's Ball was a real hit. If you like being hit. Twenty hostages missing, including five recent graduates of Fandom High. Various henchpersons were captured, but apparently they don't know where the kidnappees are being held

The Aftermath

[gothamlights]

Alfred has tea. And cookies. And real food, back at Wayne Manor.

Momoko had taken a quick shower and was in a comfy shirt and jeans AND HER POWER BELT, currently making her way to where ever that smell was coming from. "Mmmmm. Cookies? Hi, Mr Alfred!"

Re: The Aftermath

[gothamlights]

"Good evening and welcome back, Miss Momoko. I trust that you kicked a considerable number of villains?" Alfred said, looking pleased. "Peanut butter, chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin. Also a few trefoils. Tea or milk?"

Re: The Aftermath

[heromaniac]

"Tea please!" Oooh! Trefoils! She picked over the selection. "And I did at the end. Finally." She patted her power compact. "I've got to figure out a way to keep this with me all the time. I always get attacked when I don't wear it."

"Oh, thank goodness," Francine said, longing for a shower but making it only as far as the smell of cookies before she had to plop down in a chair. "If I never see another fruit roll-up again in my life..."

"They're evil." Thus decreed Katchoo, who was about a millisecond from faceplanting into the nearest table. "As we're all now excruciatingly aware. God, I want a damn drink right now."

Re: The Aftermath

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine shot a look at her, uncertain what to say to that. "Want a drink, or want to get drunk?" she asked finally, not even sure if that was the difference she should be concerned about, but it was something to ask.

Re: The Aftermath

[thismaskiwear]

"If I make it through one it'll be a miracle right now, Francie," Katchoo told her, and oh, look, there was the faceplanting into the table.

"Sounds like you need a nap more than a drink," Francine said, reaching over to rub the shoulder nearest to her. "But I guess one won't hurt." She guessed no such thing; she just hoped.

Re: The Aftermath

[thismaskiwear]

That was all the invitation Katchoo needed to slump somewhat in Francine's direction; if her hands hadn't been clasped between her knees they'd be shaking. "Can't I do both? And shower too?" Did you really expect her logic of productivity to be working after all of that? Did you?

Re: The Aftermath

[thatsamilkshake]

"Not at the same time," Francine said firmly. "You have to pick one to do first."

Re: The Aftermath

[thismaskiwear]

"Geez. So unreasonable, Francie," Katchoo grumbled, with no hostility whatsoever since even if she wasn't too exhausted for it, there wasn't any. "Nap first. Then shower."

Nap first, because she wasn't about to move, thank you.

"Barbarism," Alfred said sympathetically. "We have scones and muffins, if you like? And some strong tea. That always helps me cope."

Re: The Aftermath

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine was halfway tempted to ask for something strong the way Kachoo would like it strong, but she didn't. "Muffins and tea would be wonderful, thank you." Baked goods of any sort would be wonderful.

Re: The Aftermath

[gothamlights]

"No one's in need of any medical attention, I take it?" He cast an eye at Helena, counting bruises and scrapes. "Beyond the usual, that is. Are you quite all right otherwise, Miss Francine?"

Tea! Cookies for you! Muffins! Oh, and those little rolls with butter.

Re: The Aftermath

[thatsamilkshake]

"I'm fine," she confirmed. Kidnappings aside, could they just all live here? Butlers! With cookies! "I don't think anybody got hurt? But I wasn't exactly in the middle of the fighting."
