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.]

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

[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.]

[ well, it's Ditty. It doesn't...speak much.

Blue's just going to appear waving ]

Hello~ Is Ditty bothering you?

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

You're familiar with this creature?

[action]

[evolvingly.livejournal.com]

Of course! C'mere, Ditty. [ batcloney is now turning back into...a pink blob. ]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

That transformation... it's a defensive ability to protect itself from threats?

Nope! Ditty just likes to have fun, don't you Ditty? [ And apparently she's right, since it seems very happy on Blue's shoulder. ]

[...Clearly that creature is intelligent. More intelligent than an average animal, at least. It may not speak, but it does things for fun and seems to clearly understand human speech. Interesting.]

...What can you tell me about it?

[...This might all become relevant someday. You never know.]

This is Ditty, my Ditto. He's a Pokémon from back at home and pretty much belongs to me. It's only ability is Transform! [ What else was there, again? ] Usually they only transform into other Pokémon, but I've taught it a whole lot.

[Action]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

So its ability to transform into humans is unique to it?

[action]

[evolvingly.livejournal.com]

That's correct.

[Very interesting. He'll have to do some research on these... Pokemon, considering they seem to be appearing in droves lately...]

I see. Keep him out of trouble.

[Serious goddamn business voice there. Not threatening or intimidating, but it is stated with Batman's typical tone. But... with Ditty having just mimicked him and the resulting ridiculous situation, the tone probably won't have quite the same impact as it would normally.]
