Notes: the following comes after selina has spent her first week doing recon, like any good bat-adjacent would know to do in unfamiliar territory. she's aware there are some familiar faces here and vagueness aside, this is her reaching out. | ooc: i am going to be The Slowest™, my apologies in advance!! feel free to reach out if you wanna handwave/establish things if that's more your speed.

So, where are the hotspots in Central City? The nightlife, the culture? A half-decent burger? The hotel is nice and all, but I'm looking to get into some real trouble.

[ all hints if you know to read between the lines. ]

Depends on what you want in a nightlife

[catlady]

I'm not exactly looking for a dive bar, if that answers your question any.

[robintohood]

You got plenty of options then. It's a pretty active nightlife. A lot of nocturnal weirdos lurking around though so you might wanna be careful. They don't seem like the cat people type

[catlady]

Oh, believe me. I know all about the nocturnal weirdos and their lurking. It's just like back home. And what about you, mysterious anonymous stranger? What is YOUR opinion on cats?

[robintohood]

Got one at home who's not afraid to tell me their opinion on whatever they feel like. They can be sweet too. Maybe they'll like you too

Where do you call home?

[catlady]

That's cats for you. Unapologetically themselves.

New Jersey born and raised. Can't seem to find my city on a map here, though. You familiar with Gotham at all?

[ she can guess the answer, but whether they intend on making this easy for her... ]

[robintohood]

[Time to play a little dumb]

Nope. But there's a karaoke bar that seems very Jersey/northeast-ish

Kinda weird since we're in the middle of Michigan but it's not a bad place. It's called Descendant. Definitely got their share of nocturnal weirdos

i'd look elsewhere

[catlady]

Hey, I've considered that, too, but this place has a certain gritty grimey charm.

[reneger]

it's a little too crowded to really enjoy

[catlady]

Is that an unfamiliar concept for you? Pretty crowded back home, too, I think I could deal.

I'm all ears (or eyes and fingers as the case may be) if you have any better ideas.

[reneger]

busy?
i'll show you where you can find real trouble
since you asked

[catlady]

I can make myself available.

Why do I feel like you'll manage to make me regret this decision, though?

Excuse me, but I believe there is limited room feline purrsonalities in this town.

[Even a cursory look online will reveal that Sleeper has managed to be quite the strange internet phenomenon and spokescat. Although a dedicated portion are convinced the whole thing is a con.]

[catlady]

That's cute. You know, I haven't had trouble stomping out potential competition before.

[definecat]

I may have undeniably adorable beans, but I also have claws. You may prefer to admire the former than experience the latter.

[catlady]

Likewise. 😼

I don't have any interest in stealing your spotlight, if that eases any concerns, but I expect you to respect MY territory as well. I'm a better friend than foe. Especially when I carry treats in my pockets.

[definecat]

There are many things I respect. Boundaries usually aren't among them. Being a superior being such as I requires certain sacrifices.

[catlady]

"Superior," huh? So not much for modesty, then. That'll be FUN.

Been a while since I've been dancing, but there's a great diner about a mile from the hotel.

[catlady]

[ white, american christian jesus?? ]

What a shame. You should try it again some time. It's great for cardiovascular endurance. But for the record, there are a couple of diners about a mile from the hotel. Care to be a little more specific?

[deadthenred]

I know how to dance. I just haven't been out in awhile. I'd probably get cramps.

The one with the big pink sign. [ Insert more specific directions here. ]

[catlady]

What's the saying... if you don't use it, you lose it? Sounds like all the more reason to get back out there. But, hey, I don't know your life. Maybe you're a real busy guy.

[ some place to pop in the next time she's out. nice. ]

I'll have to report back. I've got pretty high standards for greasy diner foods. You been here long?

[deadthenred]

I've been busier, but I'm not sure I've ever had much of a life. [ Sixteen year old him would disagree, but sixteen year olds are wrong about a lot of things. ]

There's a lot of junk on the menu, but just get the burger. [ Like a lot of places in the neighborhood that only cook one thing well, Bucky's pretty sure this diner is a money laundering front. ]

I've only been here a couple months, but I was stuck in a dystopian future for a while before this, so I have a special appreciation for really greasy American burger.

[catlady]

You realize you're kind of just adding to my side of the case here, right? All the more reason to go out and have some fun. How do you feel about museums?

[ because there's always the other, less legal form of fun if he's into that kind of thing. she's a big fan of that option. ]

And then you landed here. You've really got all the luck, don't you? I was in the middle of a thing. Kind of eager to get back, but also kind of tempted to ride this all out as long as it lasts. Months might be testing my patience, so I might as well find something to enjoy about this place.
