Hey.

[bat_schway]

All right. Look. We need to talk.


You've been practically avoiding me. What did I do? I mean, you've got a bit interested again, but I don't know what's up. Was it something I said? Is Batman just not schway anymore? No?

Come on. I mean, I know everybody needs a break every now and then, but I didn't think you'd just forget about me. I guess ever since then, you haven't had to log in to my account as much and that's why we're through.


Lame!

Let me out more. I'm not some shut-in, I'm Batman, I'm supposed to be out there, fighting villains and scaring the slag out of Jokerz. I'm not like that faceless guy you like so much and I don't sing my own theme music, but I'm cool!



Really!

TERRRRRRRYYYYY!!!!!!!

Your mun decided to let you out again?!

[bat_schway]

Woah, hey Heather!

Uh, not exactly. I'm seeing if I can reason with her.

[playwitchu]

[You are getting a hug and your are going to like it! And she is forgetting her own strength here so her hugging may not be as gentle as it used to be.]

Tell her that you need to be out! Ah! And if she wants, my game is having something called a 4th Wall event? Tell her to let you visit us again!

[bat_schway]

[ THAT'S WHY THE SUIT HAS COME IN HANDY BUT AAAAAA ]

Rrhgh--Uh--4th... wall event? What's that?

[polyturtle]

Maybe you just need to get a new game for your mun to consider?

[bat_schway]

Hey Don.

[ Shrugs. ] Man, I'd love to. It'd beat being stuck up here with these dregs but I don't think my mun's up for anything.

[playwitchu]

[One last really good squeeze before she finally lets go!]

What was that sound that you just made? Ah! My mun said that it is a time where everyone can come and visit.

AH! I have a pet and named her after you!

[bat_schway]

.... [ ... ]

What kind of pet?

[playwitchu]

She is small and can say the word Eevee.

Terry is the Best Batman.

[tree_puncher]

Well... Just saying but you sure don't sound cool right now.

But my Mun assures me that's just because of the stress he thinks your feeling.

[bat_schway]

Huh. Never heard of it. Is it bird?

I wouldn't say the best, but he is pretty schway.

[bat_schway]

Well yeah, no one sounds cool when they're complaining.

[playwitchu]

Nope! She is small and really fuzzy and warm though! I got her for doing the scientists a favor.

[bat_schway]

What kind of favor?

[playwitchu]

Bringing them an item.

[bat_schway]

If you don't mind my asking, what did those guys want?

[playwitchu]

I don't remember.... I just remember it was an item.

Well he was my childhood's Batman. So to me he was the best. :3

[tree_puncher]

Agreed... Though I do believe I had chatted with another you... Some time ago.

[bat_schway]

[ Yeah, Terry still doesn't like or trust those scientists. ]

Sounds fishy to me.

Mine was Bruce Wayne Batman.

[bat_schway]

Another me?

I mean, probably. I've been in and out of here so much I don't really know.

[playwitchu]

But Jackie was the one that took out my chip.

[bat_schway]

--Wait, wait. You got it out?

[playwitchu]

[And here, she goes to look completely proud of herself!]

Yep! It's the only reason why my arm has been regrowing when the meanie ripped it completely off of me.

[bat_schway]

....




What?!

[playwitchu]

[She blinks in surprise before holding up her arm that is currently just a skeleton's arm with muscles.]

A vampire had America grab me and ripped it off.

From the The Animated Batman?

[tree_puncher]

Dam... That sucks even worse then just being stuck in Dear_Mun.

[bat_schway]

[ oh man he's just freaking out ]

What-- Heather, how is-- how--!?

Batman the Animated Series from 1991, yeah.

[bat_schway]

It's no walk in the park, I'll tell you that.

[playwitchu]

[She blinks at his freaking out and.... Okay she couldn't help but to giggle a little.]

It just is. I don't know how or why but it just is.

[bat_schway]

Heather, people usually don't just grow their arms back when they get ripped off.

[playwitchu]

Eric says that I am not human. He isn't sure what I am but I am not human.... So I am probably just some freakish monster.

[bat_schway]

[ Terry doesn't want to hurt her feelings, but he also doesn't know what to say. ]

I, uh... Hey, you're... probably not a monster. I mean, you're not human, but... that doesn't mean anything. Look, I didn't mean to freak you out, it's just, I've never seen this before.

[ And he's seen a lot of weird stuff. Like a dude splicing himself into a Chimera. ]

But you're not a monster. I don't think so.

I did see that in my youth but saw and think more fondly of Terry.

[tree_puncher]

[Steve? nods.]

So... Any ideas if you are going to get sent into a game? Is your Mundane looking by chance?

I only watched all of Batman Beyond last year.

[bat_schway]

I was in a game last year. But my mun lost interest after a while. Her RP drive canned it.

Now she's sort of afraid of getting back into a game because her drive is still pretty loose.

I hope your RP drive comes back in full swing, I feel so bad for Terry! :3

[tree_puncher]

Well... Just try to help her with her RP drive I guess?

heheh yeah

[bat_schway]

Maybe if I can get her to re-watch my canon. Can't promise anything.

Best of luck, and by the way Ink_City is an awesome game that I always suggest to people. So yeah.

[tree_puncher]

Yeah... I've herd that canon reviews helps a Muses Voice...

[After a long pause Steve? quietly adds.]

Pitty I lack such a canon to review...

[girlfriend_beyond]

Batman?

Could I ask you a favor?

[bat_schway]

[ Woah! Okay, just keep your cool. Pretend she's just like every other citizen. ]

Uh, sure, what is it?

[ Real smooth, Terry. ]

[girlfriend_beyond]

[Pulling some envelopes out of her bag.]

If I die- for real, in the game I'm in- could you see that these get delivered?

[Four letters, each with a different name. Mr. Tan, Chelsea Cunningham, Max Gibson, Terry McGinnis.]

[bat_schway]

[ His eyes widen somewhat. ]

What do you mean if you die? What's going on? [ Of course, he takes them. ]

[girlfriend_beyond]

Nautilus, the city I'm in now- it's under attack by a creature that wants to eat it and kill- worse than kill everyone in it. It's attacked before, and people died then... it hasn't attacked directly, yet, but someone's already been killed.

[bat_schway]

[ Terry freaks out mentally a moment. He wants to save her at all costs. But how? There's no way he can get there in time-- and even then, his own mundane isn't interested in games now! ]

Don't think like that. You're going to live. You're going to make it.

[girlfriend_beyond]

I'm not planning on dying, I'm going to fight with everything I have to keep myself and everyone else alive, but-

Do you remember when you saved me from the sewers? I thought I was going to die then, and when I think about it, the thing that scared me most- still scares me- was that nobody who cared about me would know what had happened to me. If they get these letters- they'll know. I won't just disappear one day, leaving them to wonder and guess.

[bat_schway]

[ This was hurting him-- if only he could just... take off his mask and tell her. If only he wasn't so weak.

There was protecting the Batman name, protecting Bruce, but this was the woman he loved and he was going to lose her without telling her the truth. ]

You're not going to disappear!
