[Action (Batman)]

[In the Fire Sector today, there might be something seen that strikes unusual. A blur of black and red, going from rooftop to alleyway, in the sky and sprinting through the shadows. If someone catches sight it at the right time it should be clear what it is: a man in all black, with a red bat symbol on his chest.

If he stops it's only for a few short moments, as it observes it's surrounding area. But only for a few moments and nothing more, before it continues on. Whether it'll stop if called out...well that's be to seen if someone is willing to call out to it.]

[Voice (Terry)]

Hey, people living on giant turtle...ok, here goes my pride out the window so get ready. Those Kedan dregs? Didn't give me any clothes! So right now? Completely naked! Nice guys, really. I enjoyed taking a ride down turtle lane but I got to be honest it was a little chilly.

[Yeah.]

I need clothes. Anyone got some to spare? Mens size and I still have my underwear on, so there's that. I'll give you some of my, uh, juulan if you do, since I can't go buy clothes like this and all. Name's Terry by the way. Let me know if you can help. And try not to laugh too hard at my misery.

[Ok so he isn't actually naked and he's wearing the suit while covering up his window curtains (and locked said windows just in case), but all he had was the suit he came in with. He can't exactly be in it 24/7 and he doesn't want to be so this is his best plan. May as well ask the hopefully friendly people over this computer for help...even if it means he'll have to actually get naked for whoever shows up.]

[ooc: action prompt for those who wanna meet terry as batman, voice prompt for those who wanna meet him as himself!]

Comments

action....

[demon_brat]

[Fire sector is Damian's sector. He's been there the longest, and he's patrolling - even short patrols when he's caring of the egg - nightly, unless there is some reason not to that he can't overcome. (Like getting turned into a three-year-old, NO THANKS, ZATARA.)]

[So, there, Terry. Now you have a very, very grumpy tail, dressed in black, red, green, and yellow. And kind of good enough to keep up.]

action.

[modernized]

[It doesn't take long for Terry to notice there's a second set of footsteps following behind him. Fast ones too. But this suit isn't built with eyes in the back (though it really should be) and turning his head while running could slow him down.

Instead he'll just keep running, taking every turn he can find on his path. He just hopes he doesn't run into--

--of course he does. Runs right into a dead end in the alley. Stellar. He quickly turns around instead to face the person chasing him, supposing they kept up.]

[asoothingvoice]

[Another one without clothes? They need to set up a fund or something for you unfortunates. She'll bring it up at a clinic meeting.]

Let me know what size you are and I should be able to find something for you, Terry.

I'm Bianca, I work at one of the main foreigner clinics here. I won't even laugh.

voice;

[modernized]

[He sighs a little.]

Schway. Thanks a lot, for the clothes and not laughing. I'm a medium size.

voice;

[backinakidflash]

What's a dreg? Is that like a droog? Are you like a big Clockwork Orange fan?

I've got some clothes in two different sizes. Because that's how we roll in Turtletopia. Are you more 5'7", 148 lbs size or the 6", 190 lbs size?

voice;

[modernized]

Oh, no, it means, uh...loser. [Yeah he never exactly had to explain what terms like 'dreg' meant. It was just the language he grew up with.] I'm more six, one-ninety.

video;

[imaginate]

[You know what, he's actually gonna be that guy, and chuckle softly as the feed clicks on.]

Wow, man, you really got the short end of the stick.

[The background is Water Sector; Kyle's dressed in his black and green uniform, and even if he wasn't, that ring is a dead giveaway.]

How much stuff do you need?

voice;

[modernized]

[That uniform and the ring...so even this turtle has a GL. Good to know.]

Yeah, tell me about it. Went to bed and next thing I know I'm waking up and a lady is staring at me in my underwear. That'd be a good thing if I didn't have a girlfriend.

[...Well...he used to -- ok no time to worry about that right now.]

Not much, just something I can wear really. I can always get more clothes later.

Video;

[detectus]

Whether or not I'm happy you didn't use the video function will depend on our second meeting.

[aka hot or not.]

Check the Earth district for clothes once you stop being a charity case.

voice;

[modernized]

[He makes a small 'heh' at that.]

Sorry, but this ain't a free show. Gotta keep my dignity in tact somehow right? Thanks for the tip though. I don't wanna be a free loader or anything.

action

[backwordscompatible]

[For once, she was on a rooftop simply because it was where she had the highest chance of catching some actual fresh air.]

[Her head still lightly pounded, and there was a twinge in her stomach every so often...but for the most part, Zatanna was feeling better than she had all day. Her eyes closed, she sat with her legs dangling over the edge of the several-story tall building. Her expression neutral. Focusing only on the wind blowing through her hair and--]

[And the sound of something cutting through it nearby.]

You'd better be friendly, because I'm not really in the mood tonight.

[Translation: hi.]

action

[modernized]

[He stops running, already on the other side of the building when he hears her from afar, and turns around.]

Don't worry, nothing weird about a guy running off rooftops.

[In a bat costume. Ok fine a little weird, but the stares don't bother him.]

voice;

[watcheslanterns]

Has anyone offered you clothes yet? I might be able to make something that fits you if you haven't gotten anything yet.

voice;

[modernized]

Oh yeah, I got some, but thanks for the offer. Nice to know people are willing to help out around here.

[Definitely not at all like Gotham. Might even get use to it.]

action

[hackingyoursensors]

[Well, Terry, you've caught one person's attention.

Dick usually sticks pretty close to Bruce when they're patrolling, though he still goes it alone from time to time. He never strays too far from a safehouse (which is easy because they're everywhere) and always keeps an exit open. He knew caution before he got here. He's just a little more... obsessive about it here.

Dick will follow Terry for a bit, keeping his distance and staying in the shadows. Someone has the audacity to wear the Bat and the cowl. He wants to know if it's a good Bat or a bad Bat. After about twenty minutes, Terry can see a flash of red and the iconic "R" if he looks behind him quickly enough.

A challenge. 'Show me who you are.']

action

[modernized]

[He knows someone is following him and starts to feel that nagging sense in the back of his head to stay alert. He has no idea who, but he keeps scouting the area regardless. He isn't doing anything wrong and whoever it is will reveal themselves soon if they intend to attack.

But as the minutes go by he still can't shake the feeling of being watched and yet still no attack. It unsettles him greatly. So he does turn his head over shoulder once, just to be sure, and sees the flash of red and an R when he does. He doesn't flinch.]

Enough games. Show yourself.

[Without second thought he activates the suits visual scanners, checking for heat signatures in the area. With all the buildings blazing with heat, because Fire Sector and all, it might be hard but he'll manage.]

voice

[skybluejeep]

Naked, huh?

Yeah, okay, you win the turtle intro. Or lose. One or the other.

voice

[modernized]

I'll pick "lose". I mean, I'm sure those Kedan had some clothes to spare. I'd even take a bathrobe.

action;

[andaway]

[Kal doesn't bother calling out, he simply speeds in front of the man wearing something too similar to the bat-suit for comfort, and crosses his arms.

Heh ad actually been simply walking by the fire district as Clark Kent when he got a glimpse, but seeing someone wearing that suit is enough to grant a change of clothes at super-speed.]

And you are?

action;

[modernized]

[He stops in his tracks when Superman comes down, immediately recognizing the guy. Only younger. Ugh he hates the past.]

Superman! [...Wait--] Wait, no, that's who you are, my bad. I'm Batman.

voice

[nerdylilspidey]

[Peter knows how Terry feels even more than he actually realizes.]

You'd think clothes would be part of the welcome packet...

Did you get any yet?

voice

[modernized]

I know right? Money, but no clothes? I'd rather be broke and have a shirt and pants.

But yeah, I got some that should last me for a while. Don't want to take things if I don't need them.

action;

[animosus]

[It could be argued that Hal spends more time in the air than on the ground and the glowing green nightlight would never pass up the chance to push Bruce's buttons.]

Hey Bat-- [That's not Bruce... or any of his progeny. Did he adopt a new kid?] --man?

action;

[modernized]

[He stops in place and looks at the guy who got in the way. Green Lantern.]

You're the first guy who actually called me that today right away. Appreciate it.

[Seriously, he doesn't like judging stares and people who discredit his legitimacy.]

[Voice]

[fuzzyelf]

That's certainly some fantastic timing on the Emperor's part. During summer maybe a little more acceptable. I hope you've at least found something to wear and aren't still freezing. Or freezing as much at least.

[Voice]

[modernized]

Yeah, real nice lady she is. I'd send her a card, but I don't think they make anything to express my feelings.

[i.e. thanks for not giving me clothes and dumping me in the cold, no love at all.]

action;

[unobtainableredemption]

[Kaine was standing above an alleyway with his suit in it's invisibility setting when he nearly got barreled over by a red and black blur. He willed the suit back into sight and shot a strand of webbing past the blur in warning.]

Hey, watch it! [...Never mind that this guy had no way of knowing he was there.]

action;

[modernized]

[He dodges the webbing and stops in place, turning sight to the apparent attacker. Another costume...but friend or foe?]

Don't mind me, just scouting.

voice;

[wintershepherd]

Unless it means something pretty different than what I'm used to, the kedan aren't dregs.

[ Someone sounds pretty annoyed; that is, assuming Terry can hear him. ]

voice;

[modernized]

Well they aren't exactly friendly either for leaving me in the cold without pants. Or anything really.

action;

[wingedwarrior]

[Even since getting her flight back, Shayera's been going out for flights at any opportunity, despite her arm still being broken. But she's had worse, and that's not about to stop her from getting some much needed flight time.

Before she knows it, Shayera made it all the way to the Fire Sector. She considered to keep flying on through it until a black streak shot through the corner of her eye. He might be fast, but Shayera's had practice keeping up with black as night bat figures. She would have shouted, but he might have been pursuing a criminal of some kind, so she waits until she's close enough to only raise her voice as little as necessary.] Batman?

action;

[modernized]

[He stops when he hears someone call him and turns around, getting into stance just in case. A Thanagarian, but not the one he knows of. But she looks injured. Hm.]

Who are you?
