The First Broad Daylight (Fourth Wall)

[cowledcrusader]

[The thing about sudden influxes of people means Batman's constantly busy and can't inevitably stay away from everyone because they're everywhere.  So most of his stalking he expects to be bothered... and in fact, it probably will be.

He'll be out in the open a few times today, investigating inevitable disturbances in the village.]

[A certain little girl happens to see him, so she grins and ruuuns on over!]

BATS!

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[He'll turn around at this. "Bats?" Good thing it's not the Joker. Or Quinn.]

Molly? You're back, I see.

[punchandsleep.livejournal.com]

[Right now, Molly doesn't particularly care about personal space, as she's moving to attach herself to Batman's waist. Or, at least, she'll attempt to. She MISSED the antisocial nut.]

I went back and I couldn't remember this place but now I'm here and I remember and there's a playground and it's awesome and Bats you're still heeere!

[Here is one disturbance that is just pure effing EVIL, Batman. Right now it is lying low, though. And sticking to the shadows. And it's getting a little runny, too, because apparently it picked up a virus somewhere.]

[ Here is the definition of disturbance, hopping from roof to roof and causing accidental collateral damage as he goes. Clearly he is meant to protect this village from the hands of villainy. 8| ]

[Oh hey, Bats. Have the guy even you think is wound too tight.]

You know, even you might have trouble keeping up with this crowd.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Admittedly, he doesn't really resist the incoming hug. For once. Progress, right? But he doesn't sound upset or anything either. ]

Yeah. I'm still here. [Still stuck here, still away from Gotham.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Think it can out stealth THE BAT? Nope. Not happening. But Batman will discover it via ambush.]

...A human nose?

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[And here comes the Bat, chasing after the Tick to attempt to stop his... "rampage." I mean. Heroics. Right. Heroics.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Well, there's one... well. Face, he's familiar enough with. At least from his research. He doesn't know him personally yet, at any rate.]

We'll see. ...The Question, I presume?

[hewantsanswers.livejournal.com]

[Presume? Now that's an interesting word choice.]

That's right. One of the many new arrivals.

Looks like I missed the line where they were handing out wings, though. Funny how that works.

[Batman might also have some of his stalking time spent being stalked by another. Cool with you, Bruce?]

[honkifyoulove.livejournal.com]

[ There aren't many things to hero at today. Alas. ...where did he put his small lumpy sidekick? ]

ARTHUUUUUUUUR! SPEAK TO ME, CHUM!

[ Andrea officially hates her life; she spies Batman in the crowd.

That just meant it isn't Bruce. ]

[voldiesnose.livejournal.com]

[The most evil human nose that ever breathed, Batman. And it is using its telepathic powers to communicate directly into your brain.

Baaaaaaaaaaatmaaaaaaaaaaaan.]

[ellojellohello.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly, jello. It's sitting there next to you, and staring at you. Being jello.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Nonplussed. Gonna take more than that to scare him.]

...

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[Batman will catch up to him.]

...Calm down and get ahold of yourself.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

...I suspect this is a result of an errant Shift, which is causing a more chaotic influx of individuals throughout the space-time continuum.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[It's fine. But when he's sure he's alone from other individuals and their prying eyes... well, other than a certain person's...]

...You're getting better, Robin. But I've known you were there for awhile.

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[...Jello. Right. He's not eating any found Jello. He's gonna move on.]

[ellojellohello.livejournal.com]

[But-but-

There's always room for jello!]

[...He thought he spied a familiar face in the crowd there for a moment. Was it...?]
