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. ]

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.

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.

[deadthenred]

Art museums? Or the history kind?

Not everyone wants to go back. [ Which is something he understands, even if he'd never consider staying. If he had the choice. ] Doesn't mean they enjoy this place, but it maybe it says something about those burgers.

[catlady]

Definitely art museums. I'm a real patron of the arts back home; I like to spend my time surrounded by beautiful things.

I get that. Lord knows I've wanted to run away from everyone and everything before, I know what that's like. Move some place new. Try and remake yourself into someone new. This is just a fun, new, drastic level.

[ like, a year or two ago? after she'd left bruce on that rooftop waiting for her at the altar? she definitely could have used something like this. it's more complicated. she's got people back at home that she's worried about. ]

Any other recommendations?

[deadthenred]

Haven't been to many museums here. Wonder if they've got all the famous paintings in the same place as back home. [ Or maybe they've got different paintings altogether? He hasn't thought about it. ]

You can run, but you always carry your old self with you. It's the worst.

You like pancakes?

[catlady]

I was wondering the same thing. I'm going to have to make a point of seeing what this place has to offer, may a day of it.[ and a night. ]

I like pancakes as much as the next person, so long as there isn't a deadline involved to get them. Less of a morning person.

[deadthenred]

The only reason you go to a pancake house in the morning is if you didn't sleep at all that night.
