First Night [Action]

[In the middle of the previous night, a note will be left under the door of Clark Kent. It reads as follows:]

Clark,

There are urgent matters to discuss. Be on top of Community Housing 7 at midnight.

[The note is not signed and not dated. Mysterious letter is mysterious. The only question is whether or not Clark will meet him there at the appropriate time. As for the rest of the night before then, Batman will keep tabs on Luceti. He's looking for anyone in particular he might find useful. If you want to be shadowed by this vigilante or speak with him feel free to be out and about minding your own business. Don't worry about finding him. He'll find you.

Be warned, he may not even stop to talk if he doesn't want to. That's just how he is.]

[...Now that's a strange sight. All sorts of weird things going on here. He can't quite make how good a quality the hand is, but still... a person with that sort of talent might be worth observing. He'll be following her from the darkness. He might want to get a closer look at that equipment she's carrying later.]

It pays to know about all sides in a situation. Knowing your enemy is never enough.

[A small hint of smile might tug at his lips there. Hey, he's not all doom and gloom. You might still be able to tell him he's your favorite, Molly. But he's still all business, though his tone remains fairly neutral.]

...Where do you derive that power from?

Ah!

[She looks a little unsure here.]

... I don't really know. No one's asked me that before... I just kind of think about it and it happens.

True enough. You've probably already realized that even among the Malnosso's prisoners not everyone is on the same side.

[...Actually, this sight makes Batman feel bad. He'll silently move toward where she fell and retrieve some of the contents of her bag (including that metal arm) and give it a quick look over. ...This is astounding quality given the backwards technological nature of this village. Congrats, Winry, you've impressed the Bat enough for him to want to speak to you.

The voice will come from not far behind, and he's approaching. The arm is in one hand, and he's offering his other hand to help her to her feet. ...Of course he's a man dressed like a bat that stands 6'3'' and is built like a tank.]

Your work is very impressive.

[And stumbling out laughing from Good Spirits, Vash makes his way down the street singing happily to himself. Not exactly the most interesting type to stalk - but uh... he has a gun with him?]

I'm aware there are many threats to the people of this village. They're all sloppy, except for Yuber.

[Don't forget the hot redhead propped under one arm trying to steer the idiot the right way home B|]

Thank you?

Agreed. Yuber attacks his targets when they're alone, then teleports away before anyone can react.

[...That's not a good answer. He knows she's not lying, but that is not a good sign. Anything less than total control can make her a risk.]

...Do you know how to fully control that strength?

I've heard of his ability to do that. For how clean he can be in his assaults, he's very bad about hiding just what he can do.

If he has a weakness, I'll find it.

Good luck. I haven't been able to find one, yet.

I never expected to see an engineer skilled enough to construct something like this here. A fully articulate prothestic limb isn't easy to create, even with advanced technology.

[He holds out the arm for her to take back.]

[There are people like this no matter where you go, it seems. Whoever that drunk idiot is lucky he has someone like her to help him home.

Unless you two suddenly get your villain magnet switches turned on, Batman is just going to move on.]

Everything has one. I'll be in contact once I find it.

Good. By the way, what's your name?

Batman.

[And with that, he aims his grapple gun to a nearby building and sails away into the night.]

[Due to recent events, Leonardo has been stuck with the responsibility of retrieving his brother's sai. It's a relatively long trip from his apartment to his destination, but considering it's night, he feels perfectly in his element. That is to say, sticking to the shadows and probably looking fairly suspicious. Force of habit.]

[If he happens past house 31 in the middle of the village, Batman will see a ~~short~~ height-challenged boy with cat ears working just outside the house, on the porch. A lamp made out of a glass jar sits on the porch railing, giving him light to work by.

Shouldn't someone be telling kids to go to bed at sane times?]

[And now she looks a little uncomfortable. She glances away and twiddles her fingers behind her back.]

... Not yet. But I'm working on it! Senel's teaching me how since he's got powers like mine! And I don't really use it unless I need to do it, like if some bad guy needs a clobbering.

[Senel. He'll make a mental note of that name. Might be worth talking to him too sometime...]

Then you're handling it. Good. If you need more help, ask.
