VOICE/TEXT 001! Wherein a bad little boy pretends to be good.

Sep 10, 2011 00:22

[ The feed turns on, and there is a light shuffling of tiny feet. Inhuman feet. Four of them. It's a kitten! A rather noisy one, at that. Then, a child's voice. Polished down to the last syllable, but caring not to sound pretentious. Some of his words are deliberately stressed to factor in confusion. He's also getting good at hiding that cocky, ( Read more... )

A stray?

voice // batcryption birdthright September 9 2011, 16:43:58 UTC

Superman left it in the cave. Apparently, it was mine. [ He doesn't seem to know what to do with it, though. ]

voice // batcryption bodyreads September 9 2011, 20:33:57 UTC

Any name?

voice // batcryption birdthright September 10 2011, 01:57:18 UTC

None. [ The kitten is destroying something in the background, and Damian can be heard saying 'Enough. That belongs to my father.' but he just goes ignored. ]

Would ... giving it one make it respond to me? [ a beat. ] I've heard of the effect sentimental gestures have on these creatures.

voice // batcryption bodyreads September 10 2011, 02:04:10 UTC

[Sentimental gestures. Oh, Damian. You sound like her father and you're only ten.]

It might not listen. Cats aren't...owned.

[Or so she's heard.]

Make friends with it.

voice // batcryption birdthright September 10 2011, 02:49:42 UTC

[ 'Cats aren't ... owned' he's heard of that too. It almost puts a smile on his face -- almost. ]

Make ... friends? With an animal? [ He doesn't even make friends with humans!!! ]

voice // batcryption bodyreads September 10 2011, 03:14:41 UTC

Yeah. That's the point.

[Silly kid. She's got a lot to teach you.]

You're in the cave?

voice // batcryption birdthright September 10 2011, 05:00:45 UTC

You're coming down?

voice // batcryption bodyreads September 10 2011, 05:11:07 UTC

I want to see.

[And now that she's spoken with Carrie-Robin, Batman, and Tim, it's time that she met with Damian in person.]

voice // batcryption birdthright September 10 2011, 05:15:44 UTC

[ The cat? Or . . .

:| ]

You should know the location by now. [ Come if you want, he means. ]

action bodyreads September 10 2011, 05:23:36 UTC

[Guess. 8D

She means both, but mostly because she wants to see how he is with the cat and in the cave.

Cass arrives ten minutes later in something vaguely resembling her Batgirl outfit, the cape looking more like wisps of darkness because of its design. Her mask is in her belt once she enters the cave but it's not quite done yet. Batman's suggested that she opt for a mask and not just the slim, domino style. She's too recognizable otherwise.

She approaches silently, watching.]

action birdthright September 10 2011, 05:44:17 UTC

[ Damian is in his civvies -- clothes he had to put on for the broadcast -- and he's seated in one of the chairs while the cat moves the floor. It still doesn't want to go near him, so he leaves it alone -- but his eyes are still watching intently.

Cassandra might notice several bat carcasses littering the floor. It's something he was careful not to show the network, but the cat had been mutilating them out of curiosity. Demonic little thing. It starts to eye one of the bats that is perched somewhere above them, and intends to move to higher ground, making a jump for the table Damian is seated in front of.

This jump fails, though. It's too small, too inexperienced. Expecting this already (it's obviously happened a few times), Damian catches it before it slips off the edge, and it swipes him across the arm. He simply puts it down again. ]

Stupid. Are you trying to get yourself killed?

action bodyreads September 10 2011, 06:04:52 UTC

[It's an amusing sight and he looks like he's sulking in regards to the kitten. She's...more than a little concerned about the bat carcasses, honestly. She wonders what Batman will say about that. She'll let them talk about it.

As Cassandra wanders closer, she watches the kitten and faintly smiles at its attempts. Try, try again.

She wanders closer.]

Practice makes perfect.

[Or so they say. The cave is no place for the little animal, honestly.]

Is it a boy or a girl?

action birdthright September 10 2011, 06:35:39 UTC

[ Oh, Batman already knows. Damian never liked those bats, anyway. He makes no effort to turn his chair and face her, letting her come to him on her own. ] It's male.

[ When the kitten spots Cassandra, it starts to shy away from the new face, hiding itself under the table. ]

action bodyreads September 10 2011, 08:42:02 UTC

[She steps closer and then slowly crouches down without a single sound, watching the small kitten. She reaches a hand out, palm up, and lets the kitten decide whether he wants to come over to investigate or not.]

No idea for a name yet?

action birdthright September 10 2011, 09:17:06 UTC

[ He finally turns to look down over her, still seated in his chair. He's curious if the kitten will respond. Step by tiny step, it comes out of the shadows to investigate her hand. It's cautious, however; sudden movement may frighten it to the point of hissing and snarling again. ]

Superman suggested 'Bruce'. [ He's not sure if he wants to go along with it. On one hand, if he's trying this sentimental thing, naming a cat after someone he respects might do good for it. On the other, he's not sure how he's going to call the cat 'Bruce' in front of the real Bruce. :| ]

Do you have a suggestion to give?
