first case // [voice]

[undeadsidekick]

Alright, first question-- Who the hell tells someone their planet has been destroyed and then shoves a book in their face that says "DON'T PANIC". Seems like kind of a fucked up joke to me.

Second, what was that thing?

Guess that's it. Okay, Scottie, beam me back to Gotham now. You can keep the towel and the dinky talking book.

Comments

[VOICE|ENCRYPTED cuz Heero's special like that]

[00ne]

[Might as well make his move.]

Bats, huh?

Funny story about that.

[voice | hey it's a half-assed copy of Heero's encryptions]

[undeadsidekick]

I do love funny stories.

Okay, entertain me.

[voice | awww that's cute. Let's see if he can copy a higher-level encryption :)))]

[00ne]

It's a bit of an explanation to go into why, but I had a feeling the bat motif wasn't limited only to alchemic drug-induced transformations.

What kind of businessman plays around with sharp bat-shaped blades, an extensive knowledge of chemistry, and proficient training in combat techniques?

[voice | nope, just gonna stick to the fist level of half-assing. lol, you fancy]

[undeadsidekick]

The kind that has a bat themed sports car and stealth jet.

[voice | oh well. still encrypted anyway!]

[00ne]

That's some dedication to winged mammals.

[voice | he tries. sometimes.]

[undeadsidekick]

You could say that. Never found out if he had bat-boxers though.

1/2 [voice | does he :<]

[00ne]

...I think I could live without knowing.

[voice | does he /really/ `.`]

[00ne]

Jason Todd, huh? What's a 'Robin' suit? He into avians, too?

[voice | only somtimes. to show off.]

[undeadsidekick]

That's my name. But you're gonna have to tell me what the old man means to you before I start spilling all his secrets. Bruce is kinda touchy about shit like that.

Re: [voice | what a flashy bastard]

[00ne]

[What Bruce means to him? Heero considers for a moment.]

...He reminds me of someone. [Not that you get to know who. Even if he's here. And not that it matters anymore.]

And he's interesting to talk to. [And fun to piss off, but he's at least mature enough not to admit it.]

Heero Yuy. [Another pause- then in response to the last part, with a subtle tone of amusement.] I noticed.

[voice | the bright lights amuse him]

[undeadsidekick]

Interesting is a word for it.

Alright, Mister Heero Yuy. [If it seems like he's mocking you, it's because he is.] Robin is the partner of the Batman. That will either mean something to you, or it won't.

So, actually, I guess all that paranoia is for nothing. If you aren't from Gotham -- which I'm guessing you aren't if batarangs don't ring a bell -- then Batman doesn't mean a damn thing to you either. Just as well, capes were never really my style.

[voice | shiny.]

[00ne]

Infuriating can be interesting.

[LOOK WHO DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE YET teehee stoics] "The Batman". Christ, I should have known.

So beyond vigilantism, he thinks he's a superhero?

[voice | very]

[undeadsidekick]

Superman is more the superhero type. Batman is vengeance and the night and more like an urban myth to keep the pimps and drug dealers in line.

But I'm guessing the old man out grew his spandex and kevlar a while back.

[voice | ...explosives. also shiny.]

[00ne]

...Superman.

....

[Look by AC they probably didn't have the same mainstream comics anymore AND IT'S HEERO but Superman, now that's a cultural reference he's been called a few times--]

[Not that he's going to voice it.]

Give me a break. He's that far into this hero mythos crap?

[Avoiding the spandex discussion entirely.]

[voice | indeed. and with more kick.]

[undeadsidekick]

Okay. You really aren't from Gotham.

Guess the term JLA doesn't mean much to you either.

[voice | heero lauvs explosions :3a]

[00ne]

I never said I was. I'm not even from Earth. Still human, though.

Nope. And that would be?
