[Slugger isn't used to having "guests" in the house. So when they arrive, he'll be hanging back wondering who these people are.]

[In the time prior to the arrival of her Grandfather and his 'family', Susan had busied herself making the house slightly more presentable. The plague of cats had, with typical Mayfield spite, given way to a plague of cat hair -- and other somewhat less pleasant cat castoffs, the chief offender going 'squish' under her feet whenever she accidentally trod on the yellow spots in the carpet. In the end, she had decided that the scent of pine was preferable to the scent of stale urine, which may explain why the house has sprouted an inordinate amount of Hogswatch cheer and why the dining room resembles a coniferous forest ( ... )

Happy Hogswatch, Grandfather. Make yourself at home. You always do, anyway.

THANK YOU.

[He's family. It's one of his jobs.]

Supper will begin at 6:00. No sneaking bites beforehand, you understand.

[Didn't hear a word.

Even though he's standing no more than three feet away.]

OF COURSE.

[Which is why a few moments later you can find him. Looking in the kitchen.]

[And Susan will cough rather obviously into the area where his ear would be. Are there three children at this dinner or four?]

[Four clearly. The Riddler is just so childish.

Looking as awkward as a skeleton can.]

I WAS JUST LOOKING.

deaths_heritor January 2 2011, 05:23:20 UTC

[I was hoping you would say that, actually.

Susan raises an eyebrow.]

Remember. Look with your eyes, not with your hands. Or mouth, either.

[Reminds me. Is Susan aware of the drone daughters death?]

OF COURSE.

deaths_heritor January 3 2011, 01:55:57 UTC

[Neither Susan nor the mun was, no.]

[Your husband met a monster]

[Oh, dear. Is it time for another talk with the Riddler?]

likescats January 3 2011, 02:53:18 UTC

[Yes it is.]
