Nightwing

Colonel Mustang? I don't believe we've had the pleasure yet, but with you forming a police department I think you'll agree that it would be in both of our best interests to discuss the future of the law enforcement in this city and how your police force and my team can work together.

Trust me, the last thing we want to do is to step on the police's toes. We're here to help, not to get in your way. If we can work out an arrangement between us, I think it would benefit all of the city's residents.

Not exactly what I was expecting, but this place has a tendency to surprise even the most jaded of all of us, doesn't it?

I guess we can call this a truce, huh?

Posting this now 'cause I know people are going to be scarce over the next couple of days. ♥

With the exception of Kim's and Robin's presents, which will be down in the Cave, Nightwing will be ninja-ing everyone's gifts in front of their doors in the middle of the night Christmas morning. Anyone who sees him will probably notice the Santa hat.

( Merry Christmas! )

I need every able bodied person that can dig to the east side of town now. Does anyone know if there was anyone from the building in that area just now and approximately where they were?

Robin, are you alright?

[Clickety-clackety of computer keys being typed on and quiet whistles and sharp screeches almost too high-pitched to be heard that echo around what sounds to be a large enclosed room. Possible a cave.

A yawn from our hero and a steady click-click-click as he starts flicking through the Batcomputer's playlist, only letting the songs play for a second or so before moving on until he finally stops.]



[Pretend that's the full version of the song. Also guess who is eventually going from humming along to singing along. AlsoAlso, in case you couldn't tell from that second line there in the video, one of the things that Batman failed to pass down to his former sidekick . . . is the ability to carry a tune.]

[Quiet Bat is quiet swooping down onto the roof next to New Bird after finishing up his own patrol rounds. Changing colors coordinate with the changing colors of the symbol on his chest.]

Quiet night on your end too, I see. Not sure it's something you really get used to; city's aren't supposed to be quiet, even at night. Especially at night. [Small smirk] At least for us.

[Ka-chink! Swoosh~!]

Come in, Little Bird, this is Big Bird, out on the town again. You there?

If you're not too tired out after patrol tonight, you up for doing some important research?

A fair warning to everyone: Whatever you were used to being able to get away with back home, it ends now. This city isn't your playground and we won't allow its residents to get dragged into your personal wars. If you want to keep this up then you'll have to deal with us.

We've already taken steps to secure the clocktower, so if anyone goes up there we'll be the first to know. And trust me, you don't want that.



((Wtf is Nightwing talking about? The Hunk Wonder has gone and set up a series of motion sensors at key spots around the clocktower, both inside and out. When tripped, these sensors will set off an alarm in the Batcave which the Batcomputer will then forward to the Wingcoms, which he, Robin, Kim, and Batgirl all have one of.

What does this mean for y'all? Well . . . nothing, to be perfectly honest. If you want the Bats to break up your party on the clocktower, let us know; but since I'm not about to force y'all to put up with that, if you'd rather just go on with your log/plot as is, we can just pretend the building futzed around with the sensors, since it likes futzing around with things. |Db))

[Arriving to the party with a big ol' grin on his face, eyeing the crowd a second before speaking directly into the Batcom]

Where're you roostin' Little Bird?

Robin, you there?

((Have a stakeout voicepost log thing. Bat-chix0rz feel free to join in. \o/))

As of last night the infirmary's been moved to a safer location. If you're looking for someone in the infirmary or are injured, contact either Mikura Kazuma (heisspeedracer) or Tsukasa Shuro (boybandbait). They'll bring you to the new infirmary and tell you the rules.

( The inspiring Bat-speech as Nightwing meets the remaining members of the Bat-team in the Batcave )

Calling all Bats: If you're still so inclined, meet me down in the Cave. I trust you both remember how to get down there.

Alright. So what do we know?

((This post and all comments to it are part of a conversation the Bats + Kim are having in the Batcave about what their next step should be in finding the Joker, accidentally recorded by the Bat-computer.))

As everyone has so helpfully pointed out, we need some organization around here. To that end, here's how things are going to work around here until further notice:

Hanatarou Yamada (naoseru) is in charge of the infirmary. Anyone who's wounded or sick or has useful medical experience, get down to him, he's your new boss.

Manic the Hedgehog (crazy_quills) is in charge of supplies. If you need something, are fast and skilled enough to go out behind enemy lines and keep up, or know the building and its residents well enough to be able distribute the supplies, you talk to him at the designated drop point.

Spitfire (flamingstylist) is in charge of defense. Anyone with military, fighting, and firearms experience, you report to him. And no one -- I repeat, NO ONE -- is to go unless you have real experience or training. This is not a joke. If we need more fighters then we'll train them, but for now we'll stick with what we have.

Me and my team will be working with all three of you to make sure things are running smoothly. If you need anything contact either me, Robin (_redbird), Batgirl (untried), or Kim Possible (kim_possible).

If anyone has a problem with any of this, take it up with me after we've gotten through this.

If you have something useful to add, or have someone or something that I need to add to the list, let me know.

We'll be in touch.

[Voice is groggy like . . . well, like someone who's just woken up after twelve and a half hours of drugged sleep]

Someone fill me in, what exactly did I miss?

Robin, Kim: What's your status?

Hanatarou-san, I appreciate the concern, but next time warn me, will you? What was in that stuff anyway?

Spitfire: Obviously we need to talk.

I need everyone that's had contact with Wanijima Kaito (shinjukucroc) or Robin (_redbird) in the past 48 hours to make their way down to the infirmary now.

Hanatarou-san, give me half an hour.

Robin, where are you?

If there are still any injured people in the building that we haven't found and any healers or people with medical experience, make your way down to the Wing B basement. We've set up a temporary infirmary there.

If you need help or know someone that does, let me know who and where, I'll send someone out to get them.
