New Gotham, Tuesday

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

The Policeman's Ball was tonight. There was time to check out New Gotham and shop for dress clothes first, of course, or do a lot of other things. But that was the cool part of the day.

Daytime / New Gotham / Wayne Manor

For anything pre-party.

Karla was attempting to motivate herself for class. Technically, she had one today, but why go through all the trouble of getting up and going back to Fandom via portal just for one class? It was Reno's class anyway. He'd understand! Wasn't last week's class all about when to slack off anyway?

Fairly early for vacation, but not for a Tuesday, Momoko wandered down and knocked on Karla's door. "Hey Karla? Are you up yet? It's Momoko!"

Like shopping for a new dress? That was a traditional pre-party activity, no? Even if it was cheating on a semi-implied agreement to leave the manor as little as possible because Some People were paranoid about places that had crimefighters.

Pfft. Like anything was going to happen to Francine in a cocktail dress shop?

"Go for the pink!" was Dinah's contribution. "And sparkly!"

She as going for the blue and shiny herself.

Priestly had totally been around this whole time, shut up was sifting through his bags, looking for anything that might work for a freaking ball.

Tuxedo t-shirt? Or was that too kitschy? Maybe he should ask Alfred if there was anything around the Manor he could borrow.

Liz normally wasn't that big on attending balls and such but she was looking for a dress that she could wear for that night.

The Policeman's Ball!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Admire the cops in their uniforms, talk to Commissioner Gordon, dance, get a drink of (unspiked) punch!)

Re: The Policeman's Ball!

[glacial_queen]

Karla hadn't grown up with a policeman fetish, but even she could appreciate the handsome males and females in their uniforms. "How long is this punch going to remain unspiked?" she asked in an undertone.

Re: The Policeman's Ball!

[lovemykilt]

Priestly was looking even possibly a little respectable. Mind you, his hair was blue, but it was slicked back and his goatee was nicely trimmed and everything.

Cops made him vaguely nervous, so he was trying to downplay the "look at me! look at me!" thing just a little.

Not that Tony didn't appreciate a guy in uniform, but being around this many cops made him kinda nervous. He got himself a drink and hung around the buffet table, trying to not be noticed.

Re: The Policeman's Ball!

Momoko had a glass of punch in hand and was most definitely in awe of the room full of uniforms. "This is awesome! And it's okay to have all of these policemen here at once?"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

A policeman's ball? Really? Ack.

Katchoo and officers of the law were . . . not on the best of terms. She'd be kind of jumpy over here, thanks.

...At least until the Party Crashers arrive

"LISTEN UP! THE BOSS WANTS TO SPEAK!"

You had to wonder if the world's craziest criminals was an automatic assumption when those in question were wearing bowlers and question-mark jackets, and pointing sub-machine guns at a roomful of (very pissed-off now) cops.

"LADies and GENTLEmen... And officers of the law. Hello." A mild-mannered man in a mask, twirling a cane, stepped forward. "This has now become a fundraiser for-- the Riddler!" He stabbed the cane out at one cop, puffing a little green cloud of gas at him.

"If we can't raise funds from your donations, we'll be taking hostages for ransom back to our lair! Please obey the usual security procedures, and cooperate now."

React

Run, hide, get taken hostage!

[mod your own henchmen, or ask fore one to fight below.]

Get Taken Hostage!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

And rescued in a bit!

In the Lair of the Riddler

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's a lot of purple and green. And low lighting.

About fifteen other hostages from the party show up, bit by bit, escorted by henchman, then tied to ceiling supports and occasionally tied to the odd hammock.

Looks like you're going to be here for a while.

CRAP. Where did everyone go?

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

...Dinah was never, ever, ever telling Arthur about this.

And if she could convince Francine and Katchoo and Priestly and Liz and Momoko not to? Because they would get them back fine and healthy and whole?

EXTRA SPECIAL.

OOC

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Heeee. Okay. If you want to be taken hostage overnight, say so HERE.

If not, you'll be assumed to be rescued by the end of the evening.

Ask for henchmen to fight here! The Riddler will be leaving a clue for everyone to find him tomorrow, if heroic types want to track him to his lair. Otherwise, that's Helena's and Barbara's and Dinah's job tomorrow.

Overnight, pleeaaaase. Because it wouldn't be Francine if she didn't get kidnapped in the most inconvenient way possible.

Re: OOC

[lovemykilt]

Dude, Priestly so needs to end up hostaged overnight. He just does.

Re: OOC

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

I'd love for Liz being taken overnight :)

Re: OOC

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Chewie's getting 'napped too, yep. For a change, and so she does not go crazy-person all over New Gotham. *g*

Re: OOC

[bitchprince]

And this would be why people should start listening to me.

I am not allowing any of you to go anywhere without me ever. D:
