Seventh Night [Voice/Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[It had been several days now.   He had done his homework, searching all of his known haunts and hideouts.  Everything yielded nothing at all.  Ironically, that was far more conclusive than any other evidence he could possibly hope to find.   Batman will make a short announcement over the journal system.  He remains somewhat guarded, but perhaps this finally meant they won a battle.]

Kefka Palazzo has been returned to his home dimension.  As of a few days ago, his threat to the village is over.

[Action]

[Now unburdened with taking care of a prisoner, Batman is now free to do many more other things, like stalk the village again like the creeper he is.  But today, something different happens.  Along one of the paths in the village, he encounters a strange purple blob crawlin' along.  When he goes to investigate, the strange blob turns to face him with a face full of derp.  Batman pauses, and returns that stare, not saying a word.  The creature clearly acknowledges his presence, and doesn't seem at all bothered by him.  Or aggressive.  But then, Batman blinks.  And suddenly, that purple blob is almost an exact replica of himself.  ...Except with the derpface.   

...That's right.  Batman's found Clayface Ditto.  Blue, and anyone else are free to stumble across this, so long as no actions taken prevent Ditto from being reunited with its trainer.]

[That news certainly pings Jay.]

Really? That's the best news I've heard in a long time.

[Or ever since he's been in this place, for that matter.]

[Voice]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

Yes. Hope he never comes back.

[Voice]

[lookslikeajob.livejournal.com]

Well, that certainly is a relief.

[Because Batman prefers security when dealing with other League members, he quickly bumps up a filter.]

Best news we've had since we got here. Now we can move on to more pressing matters.

[I'm seventeen and what is this.

...Namely this instance of two Batman people looking at each other stupidly like this which he happened to pass while carrying some firewood to his bonfire for tonight]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Yup. Batman's just staring down his clone for the moment. His eyes narrow somewhat at the derpfaced fellow in front of him. Thoughts are running through his mind how to deal with this. But right now...]

Speaking of that...

[A filter promptly goes up on this. Batman looks into the journal, though says nothing. Go ahead and continue.]

[This is Nanako peeking at this scene from behind a tree.

This is Nanako also trying to imitate Dittobatmanface when she spots it. Except she starts giggling partway through, so it doesn't work very well.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[A child giggling? He raises an eyebrow and steals a glance over to Nanako's location, the derpface Ditto no doubt mimicking his movement.]

[the vile clown is gone?] Finally. I hadn't liked him much.

[Voice]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Kadaj. He had been quiet recently and stayed out of trouble. Normally he might smirk in response, but his guard is kept up.]

Most of us didn't.

[ LAUGHING AT THIS LIKE A BOSS...from a distance. ]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Batman probably hears the laughter, but right now, he'll actually address his clone.]

...Don't have a lot to say, huh.

[...Nope. Probably just derpface.]

[Voice] Too bad Terra can't hear that. ;-;

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I just hope he never returns.

[Voice] She will, soon enough...

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

A hope many share.

[Including himself. Rydia will very likely pick that implication up in his voice. It's not really hidden, even from someone as stoic as Batman.]

[Diana's out and about, mostly because she needs to stop by the grocery store again. Superheroes eat a lot. Except this time her routine is broken when something she sees across the street makes her stop in her tracks and almost drop her bags.

She is torn between laughing and shifting into an offensive stance.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[A slight glance to the side allows Batman to see her.]

...He doesn't appear to be a threat, Diana.

[markofthewise]

Finally! About time they start sending people home that we don't want here.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

Let's hope it's a trend that continues.

[Gold was on his way to the grocery store. As he turned the corner, he spotted the strange sight. Two of this guy, just staring at each other? How stra--

Of course, then he notices the derpface on one of them, and it suddenly clicks.]

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[In response, he backs up behind that corner and just starts snickering to himself.]

[goldenglasses]

He's gone! Really!?

1/3 - the two was a lie!

[goldenglasses]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! [You can totally hear Vash throwing himself a little mini-party in the background.]

Private

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

Dilandau has been gone for a while as well. [Why is Naoya telling Batman this? Who knows, it's Naoya.]

Private

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

He's not the kind of man who hides very well. The fact he didn't shoot his mouth off recently was a giveaway.

[Not like you, on the other hand. He'll find you yet. And his voice suggests that he's still on the hunt.]

Voice

[death-orange.livejournal.com]

Hn. That so.

[Voice]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

Yes. He's gone.

[Ash is just showing his fire monkey and tree turtle the village today, but, he'd know that derp face anywhere!]

Hey, a Ditto!

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

A "Ditto?"

[He glances over his shoulder at Ash.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[...huh. Well, at least that's something.]

Thanks for letting us know.

[She's not gonna bother asking how you know.]

[Voice, Filtered 100%]

It's one burden off your back. [Of many. He knows that much. But the extent of the Hazama thing still isn't known to him.]

[Luffy is just walking around town and... WTF TWO MEN DRESSED UP AS BATS?!]

[Action]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

W-WAIT, I KNOW YOU! YOU'RE MAN BA-- BATMAN!

DIANA DIDN'T SAY THERE WAS TWO OF YOU!

[Voice]

[4thwallcansukmy.livejournal.com]

Seriously?!

D'aaww and he was my fav double F villain too.

[Voice]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

...Yes. He's gone.

[ voice ] You saw nothing.

[sniperkingftw.livejournal.com]

[ Blinks at this news. Is not saddened. ]

Oh, good.

Maybe we'll all even get a break before the next one decides to throw trees or enslave humanity. [ Not that Usopp is at all bitter or a downer. ]
