[battroll]

Don't you think you could find a few more appropriate games to inflict on me, if you're going to insist on playing me?

[The empathy would be appreciated but not quite acknowledged. She likes to pretend she's a lot stronger than she is.

But really, it's down to business now. Granted she'll poke fun, but she's a problem solver. Figure out the angle, find the common denominator, don't leave any rock unturned.]

Well, speakin' from th'point of view of somebody who uses magic, it may be somethin' as simple as heat generation-- or somethin' as complicated as feelings. High emotion tends t'make magic more powerful, afterall.

[But now she'll cross her arms and tap a finger to her chin.]

Though it doesn't explain why individual people lose their powers without cuddles. Seems messy and inefficient.

[battroll]

As well as the simple question of why they can't do this themselves. Bringing us in would expend more energy than they could hope to get back for a very long time.

[Besides being messy and inefficient.]

[nottheshoe]

Maybe they all got B.O. and don't wanna get near each other?

[IT COULD HAPPEN.]

[battroll]

[The driest of dry looks.]

[nottheshoe]

[Oh come on bruce.]

Look, for wizards, lots of spells require touch in order t'work right. [Mostly medical but w/e] Maybe who ever is takin' everyone doesn't generate th'same energy when they touch. They could be a whole separate species. Can't rule that out.

[battroll]

[no]

That is one possibility.

If that is the case, the question becomes what they need the sudden influx of power for.

[nottheshoe]

[loser.]

Motives for most anythin' are generally pretty simple.

Power or money.

[A moment of contemplation before a cheeky grin]

Or maybe they're just really, really nice and want everyone t'get along.

[battroll]

[Remember the look, Nike?

The look is back.]

[nottheshoe]

[Oh my god bat!glare is the one thing she has ever wanted in life okay?

But no really she's not dissuaded. She'll just snort in laughter before trying to justify that last bit.]

C'mon, considerin' how th'muns use us d'y'really think somethin' like that would be unusual?

[battroll]

[Psh this isn't a batglare. When he batglares you will know it is a batglare.

At the moment with the laughing and all he's looking a little put upon.]

Considering how they use us, wanting everyone to get along seems like it would be the last thing on their minds.

[nottheshoe]

[She is going to strive for it.

And she's sorry, Bruce. not really But being stuck with a mun like hers has made her learn to laugh as much as she can at the stupidity of it all.

Though now she's got her mind on a completely different track]

Y'don't think....

They'd be gettin' their jollies off on this, right?

[ARE CUDDLES PORN TO SOME WEIRD KIDNAPPERS?]

[battroll]

[You do that.

You strive.]

It is another possibility.

[And if that's the case he's just so done asdg;lkhf]

[nottheshoe]

Good, glad t'know that we're all bein' turned int'some weird fetish.

[Rubbing at her temples because jesus christ people are perverts and she wouldn't put it past anyone.]

I'd still look in t'th'heat conduction theory though, while someone's braidin' your hair of course. [Longer pause. As if she's contemplating whether this is a good thing to say to batman....nope fuck it. Nike's filter has long since been removed.] I mean, it could be worse. Y'coulda been goin' to a sex game.

[trollolololollololololololol]

[battroll]

[Raised eyebrow Nike do you really think casual/meaningless sex is such a new concept to him?]

[nottheshoe]

Sex against your will is better than cuddles.


Really? [She shouldn't be surprised but... i mean... come on. could have to do with the fact that she's a virgin Have an eyeroll, Bruce.]

Right, forgot who I was dealin' with. [She'd joke about him preferring batman activities to cuddles, but she doesn't want to breach the Batman line w/ bruce rn.]

...Couldn't you just have sex there instead of cuddling? That'd probably fill up your quota faster anyhow.

[battroll]

I'd prefer not to be forced into either.

[Just. Sidestepping all those pesky little questions for now.]

[nottheshoe]

Well, either way looks like you're gonna have t'find a way t'deal. Unless th'mun changes her plans.

[battroll]

[A SIGH]

I wouldn't count on it.

In the end, though, I might not need to find a way to deal with it. She's trying to find a Dick who can also come, and there's already a Stephanie who's probably going to be apped, and a Tim who might be. I probably won't be given a chance to run dry.

[nottheshoe]

Good, they can dogpile you.

I'm sure I'll feel your cringin' from miles away.

[battroll]

How much cringing do you think I'd do?

[His voice is dry and has a tone about it suggesting she's being ridiculous never mind that he totally would shhhhh]

[nottheshoe]

[....MAKES A MOVE LIKE SHE'S GOING TO HUG THE SHIT OUT OF YOU.]

[battroll]

[OKAY HE WASN'T EXPECTING THAT]

[nottheshoe]

[AND THEN-- She'll stop right in front of him, hands innocently behind her back and a huge shit eating grin.]

Y'flinched.

[SHE'S PROVING HER POINT BRUCE. YOU'D BE CRINGING SO HARD.]

[battroll]

You surprised me.

[THAT'S ALL IT WAS.

SURPRISE.

WOULDN'T YOU BE SURPRISED IF A STRANGE GIRL YOU'D MET 5 MINUTES EARLIER SUDDENLY LUNGED AT YOU?]

[nottheshoe]

[....YOU HAVE NOT MET HER CAST MATES....THERE WAS FORCED SNUGGLING FROM ONE IN PARTICULAR....]

I didn't think that was possible. I won't spread it around and ruin your reputation.

[INNOCENT GRIN.be glad there is no flash around.]
