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.

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.]

[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...]

[Having gotten accustomed to being watched by the occasional neighbor, and given Batman's ability to--well--be Batman, Neville continues with his project uninterrupted. With the aid of some hovering charms, he guides a vine to fetch a twig for him, though the grip is too strong and accidentally snaps it. Neville frowns deeply and sighs, speaking to it in a soft murmur.] No, that's not right. And I haven't even started working out how to get you to think for yourself.
