Fifth Night [Voice/Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[...Okay.  For a fact, those robots cannot be stopped.  Yet.   While standing guard and speaking with Detective Kiyone in the tunnels regarding the prisoners several days ago, the Malnosso's robotic abductors broke into the prison where Naoya and Dilandau were being held.  Batman and Kiyone put up a fight against the machines, but were ultimately pacified and subdued by them before they took Naoya right out of the prison.  Batman, for his part, ended up hurt pretty badly, so he's been in hiding for the past several days, only occasionally returning to meet with the League, and never for very long.  The event didn't help matters at all.  

And then there was Dilandau's escape.  How he managed to get hold of his journal was a mystery to him.  He certainly never let him have it... and investigations into the matter have so far yielded no results.  This has been a very unpleasant streak for the Caped Crusader. …Of course, with Kiyone now missing and presumably sent home for good, Batman has a lot of work to do to try to fix the damage done by the Malnosso.

Now fully healed and ready to jump back into action, he's going to head back to League Headquarters (such as it is) and meet with his associates.  Afterward, he's going on the hunt.  Both for information on the escape (anyone connected with Dilandau or who talked with him over the journal) and for Dilandau and Naoya themselves.  If he has any say in it, they're going right back into those cells.  Watch your backs, gentlemen.  
 
But before he heads out on mission from the Justice League’s house, he's got a few calls to make.]

I have need of your services again.

[Filtered 100% to Yuzu and Atsuro]

As you know by now, Naoya is loose.  If you two have any idea of his whereabouts, contact me immediately.   Do not let your COMP devices out of your sight.

[Batman will now be going out on patrol. If you’re doing something suspicious, the Dark Knight might be watching.   Housemates can catch him earlier in the day.]

[Bruce will be able to catch John at the very crack of dawn up and awake (likely before the others), preparing his own breakfast. Eggs and bacon. Delicious.]

[Unsurprised by this. He is a Marine, after all. He actually enters the kitchen with no fanfare or sneaking around. He is going straight for that coffee pot, though. It's been a long night. He needs to clear his head.

He gives John an acknowledging nod as he moves past, though.]

[Since Batman is searching for people connected to Dilandau, it won't be too hard to find one of the obvious connections from his own world.

Folken is walking towards community building #7 with a few bags of groceries at the moment. Yeah, he's not exactly aware that Dilandau has escaped since he made efforts to ensure Dilandau would be required to get in touch with them via the journals.

Of course knowing Batman, he probably knows Naria and Folken moved to a new apartment the same day Dilandau admitted to murder.]

[Ah, there's one of the people connected to Dilandau... he had spoken to him once before, he believed. Well. Time to go to work. Surprise: A voice from behind and from above.]

Folken.

[Not long after Bats runs into John, Clark will be sitting down at the table with his own breakfast. He's got his journal set to the side, open, but with the voice optioned turned off, and is flipping through it at a fairly brisk rate.

The current pot of coffee is all his doing.]

[...It's good coffee. Not that Bats will admit to it.]

Starting in early as always.

How much do you know about locksmithing?

[amber-arcangel.livejournal.com]

[Anyone connected to them you say? Does the one they killed count? Because if so, she can be found floating around the village all day~]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Kohaku... the victim of everything. She needs to be informed. He'll wait until she's off alone someplace and then emerge into plain sight nearby. He's spooky looking, but he's not taking any aggressive actions and he's keeping his tone as diplomatic as the Batman can manage.]

Kohaku. We need to talk.

[Voice, using Batman's filter]

[pinkribbons.livejournal.com]

[She knows she'll follow the advice. But as for Atsuro, well...

she'll trust him to be intelligent.]

Right... I'll be careful.

[Voice, Filtered]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

Don't hesitate to call if you need assistance. He's no doubt planning his next move already.

[Does trying to magically coax a potted ivy plant's vines to behave like tentacles (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Devil%27s_Snare") count as suspicious? Because Neville's cleared out some space in the garden in front of House 26 to do that very thing. It's not going very well, but the vines do seem to be slithering well enough.]

[On his patrol, Batman notices this, and observes from a distance with a pair of binoculars. Very strange. He's seen weirder by now in Luceti, and given the things he's seen Poison Ivy do with plants, but... this is curious. He keeps watching for now...]

[Suspicious activity? You got it. There's someone...something lurking in the shadows around house sixteen. He doesn't use the roads, but sticks to the darkness at the edge of the forest.

Once he's lingered around Polka's house enough, the shadow will venture over to house twenty-three. It seems to be carrying some sort of box as it silently perches itself on the darkest corner of Winry's roof.

After that it doesn't plan on moving for at least an hour, maybe more.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, don't think he didn't see you, Raphael. And don't think he's not going to ninja up behind you in the darkest corner of that roof... And then quietly...]

...Waiting for something, Raphael?

[flyingdreams]

[She's doing nothing suspicious. Just shopping. You know, because mice obviously have a need for shops.

She seems to be having trouble reading, though.]

Ap...ricots? I think that's right...

Pea...nuts. ...Uh? Al...munds.

[Nope, nothing suspicious about a talking mouse wearing a little red cape.]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[...A talking mouse wearing clothing, reading and shopping. He's come close to seeing everything now. It's difficult to hear her, though. And he's not about to make himself known if he doesn't have to.]

[cravat-hater.livejournal.com]

[And here's someone who isn't suspicious, but is still interesting. Lang is basically just wandering the village and he seems very intent on his surroundings and the people. He's looking for something, though what he's looking for isn't obvious from looking since he's not exactly finding it.

Of course, Batman is a creepy stalker and will likely evade his notice somehow.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Batman's just going to keep going on full-on stalker mode. He's probably not looking for anything suspicious, but... following anyway!]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Here's a short kid wandering around at night, hands in his pockets. He's staring at the ground, but his other senses keep him aware of his surroundings. He might be doing his own patrol, but not necessarily for criminal activity. He has spoken to Dilandau while in prison, but only briefly.]

[Sometime in the afternoon, Diana will be lounging around in the living room, reading some novel or the other.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[And here he is, emerging from his "batcave," after getting some sleep. ...You wouldn't know it by looking at him, considering he's wearing that cowl again. Anyway, he's in plain view and not playing stalker right now. How about that.]

Enjoying how quiet it is here?

[Emma's at the fountain. Staring into it. Her earring fell in, and it's too deep for her to get it out without the water touching her skin. Plastic gloves only go so far, and fountain water is generally dirty. She seems to be verystressed out about it...but will Batman help one of Wonder Woman's friends with such a trivial task?!]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[...Something's off here. She looks really agitated. And looking into the fountain. Something of hers fall in? ...Whatever. He looks around. Doesn't look like there's anyone else here. Surprise, he's walking up from behind quietly. Beware of a shock.]

...Something wrong, miss?
