[22 | Batman's comm | video ]

[batmantled]

[ This is a sweeping view of the bay from a roof somewhere. There’s the water, there’s some buildings on the horizon, and there’s the water again. A big, empty, pretty decisively unoccupied space in the water. He zooms in, he zooms out, then stops it again on some seagulls flying through the empty space. ]

...Aand, there we go. Saved for posterity. [ Some suspiciously blue-gloved fingers block the view while the comm settles somewhere more stable, and that’s definitely... not Batman who flips up and over the edge of that conveniently placing railing to perch up on the gutter, there. But the disconnect seems a little lost on him as he offers up a friendly little salute. ‘Sup city. ]

...So, wow. I sure walked right into that one, huh Danny? Nothing like swooping down and seeing... not only the Tower but an entire island missing right of the bay. Personally I think I would have gone the extra mile and set up a few cameras instead of planting a portable one on the punch line, but who knows. Maybe you were betting that I would’ve found ‘ em by now. Thanks, by the way. [ HE’S SO CLEVER. ]

Anyway. Joke’s over. I’m actually in pretty dire need of a bathroom that doesn’t smell like a rendering plant, so I’m afraid I’m gonna need my hideout back before the statue of limitations on hilarious April’s Fools jokes runs out. Or I swear I’m calling your mom again.

...Actually no, scratch that. Donna’s calling your mom. [ there’s a winningly unpleasant smile for the camera. And he’s holding his wrist out while he fiddles with the watch in full view of the comm, apparently to show off some ancient, bright green, garish looking digits. Nine minutes, fifty-seven seconds and counting. ]

...Seriously. Tower’s back before this zeroes out, or you’re sitting in the corner while the rest of us eat ice cream. And I’m throwing the Atari out the window.


[ ooc: so due to Calender Man's April Fool's plot Dick has been canon rewound two and a half decades to his Discowing era! With no city memories intact, since none of that stuff has happened to him yet OH WOE ]

It'd be a hell of a thing to move a whole island for April Fools.

[batmantled]

Glad somebody agrees with me. [ SINCE NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO... ]

...You remember a big T-shaped building there, right? Helipad on top, big raft out in front. You can't miss it.
