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

[reneger]

i'd look elsewhere

[catlady]

[ yeah, she suspected as much. ]

Karaoke, huh? Is that how they keep the non-nocturnal weirdos? Seems like the kind of thing that would serve as a deterrent...

You go there often?

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.]

[robintohood]

Probably. They got bouncers at the door too. I go there often enough

Oh and there's a bar cat there too. Seems like they're a pretty rare breed

[catlady]

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

[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]

Maybe I'll drop in some time. See this fancy bar cat, mingle with the nocturnal weirdos...

[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.

[robintohood]

The bar cat is definitely the fancy type

Could be worth a visit depending on who's there

[definecat]

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

[reneger]

it's a little too crowded to really enjoy

[catlady]

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

[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.

[definecat]

How many other species have managed to charm another into caring for all their wants and needs, fall in love with them utterly, and still are able to abandon them without every looking back?

[catlady]

Very few. There's a reason I've always felt a kinship to cats. Well, that and I grew up with a whole bunch of them.

[reneger]

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

[catlady]

"Depending," hmm? Don't worry, I'm very good at putting on the charm.
