[The feed flicks on, revealing a young, blond woman, chilling in some hallway in a...bat-costume? She's grinning pretty widely for someone who's supposed to be dark as the (k)night.]

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's—[dramatic pause]—sure as hell a giant, creepy spaceship because Superman you ain't. [She sighs, grin disappearing in favor of a more deadpan expression.]

So, hey, I'm new, but let's skip the mental breakdowns, freak outs, where is "x", have you seen my "y," I am scared, blah blah, wah wah, yadda yadda, etcetera, ad naseum [dismissive wave] and go straight to introductions and pleasantries.

Hey, space people. I'm Batgirl. The real deal, even — see, I come fully equipped with Batarangs, witty retorts, and everything. Yeah, yeah, I've snooped through the network. Done a little detecting, as they say. I've heard rumors of comics and fourthwalls; don't worry. If I'm fictional where you're from, then I will be available for autographs upon request. The one thing I ask of you is pretty please: no spoilers. I happen to like surprises.

Anyway, I also like coffee and waffles, especially in delicious conjunction, rooftop tag, crime fighting, and, of course, justice.

I'm sure you've seen my spooky boss-man's pseudo-vandalism, but I figured I should put the word out in my own way: call me, beep me, if you want to text me; that's a-okay. I'll be there whenever you need me, as cheesy as that sounds. It's part of the super-gig. You can ask questions and/or heckle now, I guess. Do whatever floats your boat. I'll be here aaaaaaall week.

Me, too. I wouldn't want to get out-done by some upstart.

I don't think you or the Batman are in any danger of that.

You flatter me.

It's at least more entertaining than yet another post complaining of boredom. But it makes a pretty good counterpoint - his flair for the dramatic, your flair for the humorous.

But as big as this ship is, I'm pretty sure there are only so many Batpeople it can hold at one time.

[rhymeswithdeath]

[laughs] Yeah, I think we're already pushing it.

And I assume that like him, you won't actually join security, just act as a... freelance consultant?

[Just making sure, after all.]

[rhymeswithdeath]

You got it, detective handsome.

[WHY THE NICKNAME WHY]

All right.
