Fifth Night [Voice/Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[...Okay.  For a fact, those robots cannot be stopped.  Yet.   While standing guard and speaking with Detective Kiyone in the tunnels regarding the prisoners several days ago, the Malnosso's robotic abductors broke into the prison where Naoya and Dilandau were being held.  Batman and Kiyone put up a fight against the machines, but were ultimately

[pinkribbons]

[She knows she'll follow the advice. But as for Atsuro, well...

she'll trust him to be intelligent.]

Right... I'll be careful.

[Voice, Filtered]

[cowledcrusader]

Don't hesitate to call if you need assistance. He's no doubt planning his next move already.

[nearlychosen]

[Does trying to magically coax a potted ivy plant's vines to behave like tentacles count as suspicious? Because Neville's cleared out some space in the garden in front of House 26 to do that very thing. It's not going very well, but the vines do seem to be slithering well enough.]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[On his patrol, Batman notices this, and observes from a distance with a pair of binoculars. Very strange. He's seen weirder by now in Luceti, and given the things he's seen Poison Ivy do with plants, but... this is curious. He keeps watching for now...]

[Action]

[nearlychosen]

[Having gotten accustomed to being watched by the occasional neighbor, and given Batman's ability to--well--be Batman, Neville continues with his project uninterrupted. With the aid of some hovering charms, he guides a vine to fetch a twig for him, though the grip is too strong and accidentally snaps it. Neville frowns deeply and sighs, speaking to it in a soft murmur.] No, that's not right. And I haven't even started working out how to get you to think for yourself.

[Suspicious activity? You got it. There's someone...something lurking in the shadows around house sixteen. He doesn't use the roads, but sticks to the darkness at the edge of the forest.

Once he's lingered around Polka's house enough, the shadow will venture over to house twenty-three. It seems to be carrying some sort of box as it silently perches itself on the darkest corner of Winry's roof.

After that it doesn't plan on moving for at least an hour, maybe more.]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[...Oh, don't think he didn't see you, Raphael. And don't think he's not going to ninja up behind you in the darkest corner of that roof... And then quietly...]

...Waiting for something, Raphael?

[Action]

[meanandgreen]

[He immediately gains his feet and out comes the sai.]

The hell do you want?

[Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[Utterly unbothered. Normal reaction.]

Merely observing for now. ...And I've been meaning to speak to you and your brothers.

[Action]

[courageofheart]

[She's doing nothing suspicious. Just shopping. You know, because mice obviously have a need for shops.

She seems to be having trouble reading, though.]

Ap...ricots? I think that's right...

Pea...nuts. ...Uh? Al...munds.

[Nope, nothing suspicious about a talking mouse wearing a little red cape.]

[Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[...A talking mouse wearing clothing, reading and shopping. He's come close to seeing everything now. It's difficult to hear her, though. And he's not about to make himself known if he doesn't have to.]

[Action]

[courageofheart]

[She climbs up onto a shelf, looking through the spices.]

...Ah... I can't read these...

[Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[...Ah, what the hell. She needs help. Of course, he's probably going to be almost coming out of nowhere, though she might be able to hear him better than most.]

Rosemary, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder.

[cravat_hater]

[And here's someone who isn't suspicious, but is still interesting. Lang is basically just wandering the village and he seems very intent on his surroundings and the people. He's looking for something, though what he's looking for isn't obvious from looking since he's not exactly finding it.

Of course, Batman is a creepy stalker and will likely evade his notice somehow.]

[cowledcrusader]

[Batman's just going to keep going on full-on stalker mode. He's probably not looking for anything suspicious, but... following anyway!]

[cravat_hater]

[Nope, he's looking for evidence of crimes on the part of the Malnosso, so nothing suspicious, just observing things that can be seen in the village itself mostly.]
