Sunday, Sept. 18th

[bodyreads]

[Sunday starts off with a run through the park and then a trip to Kurogane's dojo to train. In the late afternoon, she heads through Sector Five, watching people.

At night, she's in Sector Nine.]

Night - Sector 9

[viral_vector]

[Alex has been doing his own recon. He didn't have much cause for a home of his own. He never needed sleep or sustenance, and could evade most threats easily enough. If not, he just killed them. Still, the human in the distance certainly got his attention. He investigates, quickly catching up to her.]

You're testing your luck, being out here.

[bodyreads]

[Black Bat is quick to respond to any sort of trouble she can find, mostly monsters and any people in danger. When she sees someone else out in the dark, someone who isn't masked, she pauses. She's seen his post on the network, but she had never spoken up.

She glances over her shoulder, voice strong and imposing on purpose.]

So are you.

[viral_vector]

Not really. I'm pretty used to these sorts of situations.

Monday, Sept. 19th

[bodyreads]

[Training again on Monday, this time in another dojo across the city in Sector Four. Then she hits one of the cafes for lunch, and then heads home for a brief nap.

At night, she's inside this time, down at Sector Zero.]

Cafe time!

[revealedfangs]

[Even without the red cloak, Fang still cuts a bizarre figure, especially with the awesome hairdo and facial tattoo.

And the two-tailed badger draped over his shoulder. He's trying to teach Tove a concept known as chewing slowly and not making a mess by feeding him bits of croissant - piece by piece.]

[bodyreads]

[She's sipping her drink when she suddenly realizes there's a badger on that guy's shoulder. Do they allow pets here? (Do they allow people to have badgers as pets?)

Regardless, she's watching with rapt attention.]

[revealedfangs]

[Other people are watching them, but Tove does look up sharply at Cass.

And then he churrs and waves at the girl. c:]

Tuesday, Septh. 20th

[bodyreads]

[No training today, but she is sitting outside the public library and going through her books. Then she gets into her costume and goes rooftop running well into the night, eventually keeping watch over Sector Ten.]

There's a teenage girl wearing a scaled gold necklace who is copying some songs out of a library book neatly and quickly by hand.

[bodyreads]

She spots the girl and watches her curiously, unsure of what she's doing. She sips the tea she got earlier, finishing it off. She'll need to get some more soon.]

[menolly_harper]

The necklace twitches, and the girl reaches into her hair with her left hand while she continues to write with her right.

Wednesday, Sept. 21st

[bodyreads]

[She's working out and practicing in the Batcave today, uploading the information she has on the city into the computer. But then she's out and exploring Sector Three and Sector Four.]

[madeinoblivion]

[In the late afternoon, before heading over to the club to get ready for a theme night, Joe is sifting through his junkmail on a bus stop bench. There's a catalog for brand new Portside sports gear, and also a magazine, an AGI publications, for "what's hot" in the Port's club culture scene.

He's just flipping idly, suppressing a yawn and taking a sip from his first can of Monster Energy for the night. (The rest, he'll be getting from helping himself to the bar's soda gun later)

A slightly older man, one of Sector 9's dealers who occasionally takes his business into the 4th sector, stops in front of him with a low mutter of recognition- the boy looks up, nods.

The DJ from Twins? Yup, that's me, also Sector Zero.

The man produces a dime bag containing two white pills, offering it 'free of charge'. Joe looks a little puzzled, but takes it, only shaking out the two capsule's curiously into his palm once the man has started off.]

Thursday, Sept. 22nd

[bodyreads]

[Cass finally takes a break to wander the streets of her "neighborhood" today, sticking to Sectors Nine and Ten. She's on the trail of some strange drug that's been hitting the streets and is keeping her eye out for the dealers.

She's in the Batcave that night, checking in for a bit before she heads back out.]

[birdthright]

[ An hour after the sirens, and they're at the borders where Sector 10 begins. The streets are busier than those of the safer Sectors, because the buildings didn't exactly provide adequate protection so staying inside made no difference for the people living there. Damian is with her, perched on a rooftop and scanning the streets below with his binoculars.

Right now, there was nothing truly indicative. He's mostly looking out for suspicious gatherings, and people behaving oddly. Also, drugs are usually passed around in those seedy, underground clubs too. ]

[bodyreads]

[She's keeping an eye out for the monsters, watching his back. She's scanning the streets below as well, waiting for a few of the dealers to show their faces. She had seen them earlier but there had been no conclusive evidence to say they were selling that new drug.

It's quiet for the most part. No one's trying to cause too much trouble for fear of them being heard by a monster. A few of them have guns. Big guns. That's not the sort of firepower that poor people should be picking up so easily.]

They have connections.

[Or they're in debt and have to be bodyguards to get by.]

[birdthright]

[ He agrees, but it goes unsaid. ] Doesn't mean they're who we're looking for.

[ He'll still keep an eye on them, though. Especially since they seem to be communicating with each other, and staying close to the secluded alleys in a somewhat organised fashion. Another person -- unarmed -- can be seen wandering around with a very unsteady gait. He does not seem to be reacting to his surroundings; he was almost in stupor. This person was either an idiot, and dumb enough to get helplessly drunk out in the Darkness, or he's already experienced the effects of some drug and is now pining for more. ]
