Evenin'- er, citizens? That still sounds weird, but I get the feeling an “evenin' ladies” will give out unintentionally creepy vibes. [ but beyond that, it's more night than it is evening. Batgirl's out in her natural, dark habitat, somewhere around the opening of the newly announced area ] Back home, Team Batgirl consisted of more than just

A hero! How exciting!

[gravityfists]

[ Damn, it still feels good to be gettin' some recognition. ]

That's right, ma'am. Anything I can help you with?

[shemurai]

Aha, not at all! [Ooh a hero! How cool! It's a certain type of hero that she's not as familiar with, too. No school outfit, surely no transformation scene...

Ah she was getting carried away.]

Forgive me. I suppose you could say I am curious.

[gravityfists]

Well, you know what they say about curiosity!

... not the part about it killing cats. That other, upbeat, totally optimistic saying that I totally didn't just make up on the spot. In other, more coherent, words: ask away.

[shemurai]

Is there a love interest?

[were you expecting that]

[gravityfists]

Ha. Ha.

More like “pretty obstacles to inevitably be overcome and occasionally angsted/pined over.”

[shemurai]

What a distant view... I suppose that was expected in a sense.

If there is a Hero-san here, is there any Villain-san? I have to wonder...

[gravityfists]

Oh, those guys are a dime a dozen. [ she waves her hand dismissively ] I'm just glad I didn't drag any of 'em over here with me.

[shemurai]

It would be rather troublesome to deal with that on top of everything else.

[gravityfists]

No kidding! The worst we've had to deal with so far is mysteriously disappearing vampires.

[shemurai]

...Vampires? May I ask what happened?

[gravityfists]

First of all, lemme say that the giant bat on my chest isn't any sort of vampire-allegiance thing. Totally unrelated.

As for the vampires, they mostly stuck together, but one of 'em killed somebody. I hear it wasn't-malicious, exactly, but it's still freakin' scary.

[shemurai]

Killed... Ah, that is not good at all.

[gravityfists]

Mmnope.

She got better, though.

[shemurai]

What do you mean by that?

[gravityfists]

Death here is about as effective as the common cold. After a few days, the victim rolled back in, like the game over screen had all been a joke.
