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.]

[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.]

[...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?

[He immediately gains his feet and out comes the sai.]

The hell do you want?

[Utterly unbothered. Normal reaction.]

Merely observing for now. ...And I've been meaning to speak to you and your brothers.

Yeah?

[He lowers his sai but doesn't put them away. He's more than a little tipsy from tonight's escapades, but he tries his best to act as sober as possible.

Man, this must be what getting pulled over by the cops feels like.]

About what?
