Doubt I should expect laws against littering to really matter around here. [And with that, he crumples up a pamphlet, tossing it into a nearby wastebasket without so much as a second thought. Leans back against his bed, lighting a cigarette]

So, seems like the city's back to some level of sanity after that little fiasco. Gotta say I'm impressed.

Template seemed to do a good job cleaning up . . . well, maybe quite the contrary, given the pamphlet pavement we've been seeing lately. But, at least in the case of the Joker, we have one less thing to worry about.

[smokinstripes]

Better than I thought it would, at least. The pamphlets are just a little annoying.

[ratherdieahero]

I think everyone's in agreement on that point.

[smokinstripes]

Seems like it. So who're you?

[ratherdieahero]

Ah, sorry. I'm not used to having to introduce myself. I'm Bruce Wayne, and you?

[smokinstripes]

Matt. I take it you're a lot more well-known back home, then.

[ratherdieahero]

Quite. But, I'd like to think of Template as a vacation from that.

[smokinstripes]

Might be a bit of a permanent one, as far as I can tell.

[ratherdieahero]

[ooc; I FIGURED IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEEK BRUCE OUT, I'D JUST HAVE HIM COME TO YOU.]

You won't hear too much complaining from me. I do miss my company, though, but hopefully that will be fixed when I get this shop up and running.

What about you. Homesick?

[smokinstripes]

[ooc; I'M COOL WITH THAT]

You'll get yourself points for that. And a shop for what, exactly?

Not in the slightest. [Pauses.] Not yet, at least.

[ratherdieahero]

Telecommunications. Computer hardware, for now, I'm thinking of adding tasers to the inventory, with how many women here seem to need them. And, cell phones, when I can get one to effectively connect to the second level and make calls within Template.

Well, at least there's that, then.

[smokinstripes]

Not bad. I might be interested.

Yeah, though the key term is "yet". Never know when that stuff plans to sneak up on you.

[ratherdieahero]

Good to hear. I've got someone to work in the store already, and I was planning to do most of the production myself, but if I need any assistance, think you'd be the right tree to bark up?

[smokinstripes]

Yeah, sure thing. I'm not particularly busy half of the time, anyway.

[ratherdieahero]

Good to know.
