How about here?

It looked like the Rivelata Olympics was in full swing. Spidey watched as the new Robin kid bounded across the rooftops, seemingly just for the fun of it. In a way, it reminded Peter of when he'd first acquired his powers, before the crushing weight of responsibility bore down on him.

Crouched on the roof across the way from Robin, Spidey decided to make first contact. "Hey, you flying solo tonight? Didn't think Bats would scrap the buddy system."

Robin easily rolled his momentum up into a handstand, turning to acknowledge Spides with a quick, surface-level grin. "Maybe I'm just between partners." he threw back easily.

Another slide and a jump landed him a perch on the Spider's roof. "Why, you volunteering?"

Always good to sort out who did and didn't think they needed to babysit. Not that he'd mind the company.

"Showoff." Spidey cocked his head to the side and leaned forward so that he was resting on fingers and toes.

"I was just thinking that you were supposed to follow the Big Guy's orders or whatever. Isn't that how your team works?" He was pretty sure it wasn't. Batman wanted cohesion, true, but working as a loner, Spidey was still a little shaky on the group dynamic.

"Not like I got anything better to do."

B)?

[bratwonder]

Robin cocked his head right back, watched the guy balance, and considered the flip answer as opposed to what might be useful to a new ally.

"Nah," he settled on. "Little more involved than that." Okay, a lot more involved. He started a slow tumble towards the next roof, assuming Spiderman was coming along. "The short answer is, we're partners."

He paused. Batman had said he was solo now, but- "You ever done anything like that?"

T-thread crashing? :O

Chrome winced as she walked unsteadily down the streets, using her trident to keep herself upright. She had gone a little overboard in training that afternoon, which left her unconcious for at least four hours. She had only wanted to get stronger, for her friends' sake, her own sake and to be of more use to Mukuro- it usually meant her training hours were long and hard in order to make up for her inabilty to be as strong as the boys she knew

Thread crashing! \o/

[bratwonder]

Footsteps carried on cobblestones, and it caught Robin's attention when one set had a third, metal clunk in the pace. Leslie had a cane when she walked sometimes (they took turns covering her walk home through Crime Alley) but it never sounded that heavy, not even when she was really tired.

Robin slacked his pace, pulled a three-point swing around the corner of the next house, swung past a silent white owl - man, you never saw those in the big city - and landed on a chimney to take a look.

Wow. She was kinda young to be out this late.

Aaaand he'd totally been spotted, hadn't he. Well, that was what you got in bright red and yellow. He gave her a grin and leaned forward on the perch. New town, new people, right?

...OKAY FOURTH TIME'S THE CHARM Dx FAIL SORRY FOR INBOX SPAM

[96pineapples]

Chrome stared up, even more bewildered. Well, it didn't seem like the boy really was sneaking around(and she privately thought such bright colours on his weird costume didn't help with the sneaking around).

Hesitating for a moment, she raised a hand in a somewhat shy wave. The white owl swooped down from the sky and landed on the roof next to Robin, studying the boy with curiousity.

IT'S TTLY COOL B|b just forgive me when I inevitably do the same

[bratwonder]

He waved once back, brightening, and then did a doubletake at the owl.

Well, Selina Kyle talked to cats.

So he gave the owl a little salute, and then dropped directly backwards into the shadows, behind the chimney and off the house. A little bit of slipping through the shadows later - which is what you got when you had an all-concealing black cape and knew how to use it - he appeared in the alleyway right by Chrome.

"You're out late." The tone was friendly and totally at odds with the full-cape look.

She was hanging onto that thing like she was about to fall over, too. Gee. "Need some help getting back?"

Sho made me do it. :B

[pans_lullabye]

It wasn't the first time she had gone out at night. The night air in Rivelata was warm and she had gotten used to moving around quietly and in the dark during her adventures in the Labyrinth. Ofelia thought about those the most at night until she was driven out of bed and out of the house, following a ghost of a fairy that wasn't there. She never told Tifa, never really told anyone. They didn't need to worry anymore than they already did.

She never went far into town, sticking close to the buildings in the residential district, but walking easily and without fear. While the little girl wasn't scared of the dark, she knew well enough that there was still plenty in the shadows to be aware of.

Mental note: send Sho flowers.

[bratwonder]

White really stood out in the shadows, but for all the noise the little figure made it might as well have been a ghost. Wait a second, weren't there actually ghosts around here somewhere? Before all the crazy there had been something with a static entry, and Schrodinger had translated, and... hmm.

Alright, mental note, reread journal entries later. In the meantime, if this was a ghost, it was a remarkably normal-shaped one with a pretty even pace. And cute shoes.

Huh. He hadn't met Ophelia in person before. But she'd been the first person in Rive who'd heard from Robin, and he had promised her he'd check in- before he got cursed himself. Right.

He landed on the eaves of a one-story house and leaned out. "You're out kinda late."

He hoped offhand she wouldn't scream or anything.

XD ilugaiz

[pans_lullabye]

She jumped a little at the sound of the voice. Ready to bolt if necessary, she turned sharply to look up and...

"Oh!" It was one of the knights (in her mind that was the role they had taken on, superheroes were far from common place in post civil war Spain). The earlier surprise and caution vanished and the tension left her body. "Hola, Senor," she said, smiling up at the boy a few years older than her, "You as well."

[bratwonder]

"Nahh. It's nowhere near my bedtime." Robin grinned back, and swung way out so he was barely clinging to the edge with his fingertips. He braced one foot easily against the corner and gestured with the other hand, knocking the cape back so she could see the R.

"How've you been?"

I'm sorry, it had to be done. 8)?

[imma_frog]

Adam, in his Ninjetti outfit, was crouched on the very tip of the roof, nearly blending in with his surroundings.

He grinned beneath the wrap around his mouth. "Seems like there are more and more patrols with each new arrival out here."

Hahahaha yeessss

[bratwonder]

Whoa, a ninja. Robin tumbled easily from the momentum and paused, cat-light in his own shadow.

... A chatty ninja. And one that wasn't immediately trying to kill him. Well, that was a plus.

"Maybe we should get together, work out a schedule," he threw back, only mocking the guy a little.

[imma_frog]

This ninja didn't kill kids.

Adam snorted lightly. They either freaked out on him or mocked him. Was it the suit? "Maybe, if that's your prerogative," He shrugged.

[bratwonder]

Robin snapped his gloved fingers. "Gee, and here I thought you were volunteering." He even shifted out into a little more of the light, keeping the talk open.

Hey, so long as he was out here, it was only good sense to meet the neighbors.

y hello thar

[chappi_fan]

Rukia had, like so many other nights, perched herself upon a rooftop. It was strange how high places were comforting to her, even as a child. It was the perfect solace from the rest of the world. She was alone only with the moon, and the cool night air. The Shinigami sat cross-legged against a chimney, seemingly ignorant the dangerous nature of her position.

A slight movement caught her eye, upon a nearby rooftop. She frowned. Were they wearing... some sort of costume? It seemed terribly familiar.

o hai

[bratwonder]

Robin gauged the edge of the roof as he slid toward it and bounced, only knocking a little bit of shingle off and taking the long flight over. He just caught the next roof-edge with his fingertips and kicked lightly off the wall to somersault forward, rolling once and coming up in a crouch.

Six feet away from a girl in black robes. "Oh hi," he greeted automatically. He tried to make it look like he totally knew she was there the whole time.

[chappi_fan]

The Shinigami stared at the boy for a moment. It was odd for someone of his age to go about on the roofs, jumping and leaping across such heights... But that was relatively minor compared to what else occupied her mind. There was no doubt- She had seen the costume before. The boy... She had spoken with him over the journals. Although she was a child at the time, her memory was clear.

"Robin?" Rukia questioned simply. A faint breeze blew against the dark fabric of her sundress. She leaned forward slightly, eying him with curiosity and only the mildest surprise.

[ooc: Pardon my fail, I always forget to mention what she's wearing. >_>]

my bad, shouldn'ta assumed ._. b

[bratwonder]

"That's me." He matched the simple, clear tone. Rukia. Right. The smart brat kid, Stevie had talked with her a couple times. Uh. Had he? Pretty sure he'd kept the in-costume remarks to--

Dick. Robin One. Right. Well, whatever. "Been keepin' your nose clean?" he inquired, grinning a little as he recalled the scrappy girl.
