Got a question for you, Tranquility. Tell me everything you all know about Catwoman. And Batman, while you're at it. [It's about time someone told her her own origin story.]

Everything might take a while

[testis]

and you OWE me

Okay, well, Catwoman is a bit complicated. She's a famed thief. A lot of cat themed heist... there's something about Gotham and themed heists. But now and then she teams up with Batman or the Justice League as a whole.

Of course, the whole Batman thing is complicated too. ANd their relationship is definitely complicated.

I know of a Penguin and a Fish in my Gotham. I'm already a thief, so it's good to know I'm famous.

Who the hell is the Justice League? It sounds lame.

What do you mean complicated? Who's Batman?

text

[acapriciousthing]

The Justice League is a team of costumed heroes.

Batman... his parents were killed by a thief when he was a boy. So he decided to do whatever he could to clean up Gotham City.

He decided one thing to do was dress up in a bat costume and take it into his own hands.

[Justice League sounded just as lame as the name suggested. So did cleaning up Gotham and dressing up like a bat. No one could clean up Gotham, no matter what anyone said. It was pretty hopeless; looking at you, James Gordon. And you too, Bruce Way-

oh hold the batphone.]

You're telling me Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Catwoman is half-cat, half-woman! And batman is half bat.

Unfortunately, those are pretty small and not very intimidating. Batman flies into walls and catwoman leaves rats on my porch.

[TOO LEGIT 2 QUIT.]

[testis]

Calling bullshit on that one right now.

text;

[ontheline]

I take offense! My research is very thorough!

text;

[testis]

according to MY research, I'm going to grow up to be Catwoman.

I'm not half-cat.

text;

[ontheline]

You're a little young to assume what species you'll be so soon!

[he's just being a troll ignore him]

So you've learned about your future here, then? Very interesting...

text;

[testis]

Yeah. And the detective that's got some soft spot for me grows up to be the police commissioner.

text;

[ontheline]

Wow. I wonder if you remember all this returning home; it could change the course of your life, maybe! Future-seeing seems like a confusing game of potential split ends in your little timeline, doesn't it?

text;

[testis]

If. If I remember. But we don't. So right now, I wanna know.

text;

[ontheline]

Guess I can't fault you for that.

Getting your answers?

text;

[testis]

not yet. but i'm patient.

text;

[ontheline]

And that happens to be a virtue!

You could always spy on people. Wonderful way to get some intel.

[hUGHES]

text;

[testis]

It's my only virtue.

Been there. Done that. For people that aren't from Gotham, I don't think people that dress up like giant bats are a usual topic.

text; 1/2

[ontheline]

I doubt that. I bet you have more virtues than you think.

text;

[ontheline]

But I imagine someone who dresses like a bat would primarily be a topic of mockery.

No offense to Mr. Man-Bat.

text;

[testis]

You don't even know me.

Me too- there's this guy, Penguin. Not his real name, but that's just what everyone calls him. He's got a real awful hooked nose and just... looks like one. He gets made fun of behind his back.

text;

[ontheline]

I sure don't! But there are a lot of virtues, aren't there?

Poor guy, though.

Unless he's a horrible person, I guess. Then mock away!

[SO SWEET, HUGHES]

[dreamcrutcher]

I hope those names aren't as literal as they sound.

Have you tried asking them yourself?

text .

[testis]

It's some guy who likes to dress up like a bat. And I'M supposed to be Catwoman.

And Dean's not answering his phone to explain

text .

[dreamcrutcher]

shit that sounds confusing kid
is this Dean guy the one who told you about those people?
have you checked his room?

text .

[testis]

My name's Cat. Not kid.

Yeah. Blake knows 'em, too.

Dean never told me where he was staying, and I can't get a hold of Blake, either to answer my questions. [And she was avoiding talking to Death, because she was still sore about having her soul restored.]

text .

[dreamcrutcher]

[ woah we got a little badass over here. ]

sorry Cat
try getting with Blake if he knows too?


Catwoman sounds way more badass than Catkid

text .

[testis]

Blake doesn't like to tell me these sorts of things. He's a cop. And Catwoman is a thief.

[And so was she.]

Tell me something I don't know. He's from my future or some shit.

text .

[dreamcrutcher]

well damn didnt expect that
i dont know officer blake very well or id ask for you

text .

[testis]

don't bother. he probably won't say anything.

text .

[dreamcrutcher]

well i do have my ways
not sure it would work like i want though

text .

[testis]

never does

text .

[dreamcrutcher]

actually sometimes it does
kind of a weird thing i can do
get people to show me what they know

mostly by accident

text .

[testis]

that weird shit that's been happening lately? Yeah, lady, we can do it too.

text

[birdarang]

You could write a book about them if you wanted to.




Trust me.

text

[testis]

well we've got nothing but time. bring it on.

[wiped]

Who? Are those nicknames?

[testis]

From what I'm getting.

Catwoman is a nickname on a nickname. I'm Cat.

[wiped]

And people are calling you Catwoman?

[testis]

in my future? hell yeah

[wiped]

But that's the future. How can you be sure it happens?

[testis]

I'm already a thief who uses the name Cat. We've got the same name, too. Real name.

[wiped]

So that's what you're going to be when you grow up you think?
