The First Night - Fool's Errands [Action]

[cowledcrusader]

 [Earlier in the week, Bruce, or perhaps more properly, "Gaff", managed to find his Batsuit and equipment, hopefully before prying eyes discovered them.  Since then he had done minimal patrols around the village.

But today was different.  Previously unafflicted by the experiment, tonight Batman has been suddenly, and rather surprisingly hit with a species change.  And though it is not apparent outwardly... to him it's obvious.  Suddenly, he can hear just about anything, see things from miles away, and has an infinite amount of stamina.  It's unnatural, and it bothers him a great deal.  And that's to say nothing of all of the other powers he just picked up from becoming Kryptonian....

Nevertheless, he has to continue his nightly patrols.  Of course, without full control of these powers, he's liable to either make a mistake or two, or just have plain strange things happen.  He might even be seen flying.

Of course, how he's encountered could easily vary.  Either way, expect him to be doing his normal observation... as best as he can, anyway.  Mishaps are bound to happen when the world is made of cardboard.]

[The best thing about being made like Kurt is easily his nightvision.

Of course, the BAMFing isn't bad either.

But the nightvision is pretty cool too.

The house feeling somewhat claustrophobic, Rogue is out on the town this evening, still getting used to her new form and, well, bamfing on top of rooftops.

This will clearly go completely unnoticed by Luceti's local patrols. >>]

[Clearly. Especially as Batman had arrived on this roof a second ago before someone poofed into existence here. He's a little surprised at first but he's still in the shadows, watching.]

[Rogue scampers on all fours to the end of the roof and throws herself off, only to cling with her hands and feet to the nearby lamppost.

She's getting much better at this, but it still feels unnatural.]

[Batman follows over and observes Rogue's acrobatics. Quite impressive. Looks like another person who had been affected by the experiment.

But that's a very strange set of powers this person has. Not that he has room to talk, as he can hear her breathing like she was standing next to him.]

[Rogue loops her tail around the lampost and - lets go, leaving herself suspended by it, dangling down. She comments to herself.]

There we go. Still feels weird, though--

[And her tail, refusing to remain in her control for as long as she has a hard time acknowledging it as part of her, begins to uncoil from the post.]

--oh crap.

[BAMF. And she's back on the rooftop.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

[And she teleports right in front of where Batman is standing. She might be facing him, she might not. But he's there. And even if she doesn't see him, there is that... presence there.]

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

[She is not, in fact, facing him - but there is definitely still that presence there. And it's the easiest thing in the world to maintain her crouch and turn around in her new uber!flexible body.

And eep.]

No way.

[Because, wow, does she ever recognize you. But she'd thought you'd gone home, hadn't there been an announcement...?]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

Look like you've seen a ghost.

[Without moving, or flinching. But there's no recognition in his gaze, either for her being blue and furry or just being Rogue.]

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

[She shifts into an easy crouch.]

It ain't every day ya bump into Batman.

[She watches him with cautious assessment. She can't tell if he doesn't remember or if it's just his legendary impassive stare.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

That's for the best.

[No, he likely doesn't recognize you, based on that. Though he looks like he's getting ready to turn around and leave.]

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

[Rogue doesn't move, save for the twitching of her tail.]

Ya don't remember the last time you were here, do ya.

[Either that or 'You don't remember me,' because she has a feeling that he'd have had a few more comments if he did - and really, the answers are one in the same.]

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

I've been told I've been in Luceti in the past. You've run into me before?

[If nothing else, this Batman is similar to the one here previously... same size and voice, though... perhaps a little less intense than the previous one.]

[onebluebabe.livejournal.com]

Ya could say that. We spoke in the journals once.

[Aww, man. He really doesn't remember.]
