[And there's another note stuck for you, Bats, in the usual place. Sector Four on a high rise apartment roof.]

You know Harvey Dent, don't you?

post-it war

[kingofrooks]

[ ... Re-l. What the hell. Bruce picks up the note with a scowl, and when she wakes up the next morning, there's something stuck to her windowsill. ]

What's it to you?

it's the best kind of war

[proxysearch]

[She can almost feel the defensiveness from the message. She leaves him a message on the satellite dish of one of the homes in Sector Five before noon.]

I'm concerned, that's all. He's better than the others who have been brought here.

yeshhhhhh :333

[kingofrooks]

[ Sector 10, against a dilapidated wall: ]

He'll probably be able to help Edgeworth with his cases.

Don't mention me around him.

BATCALL

[girlyboywonder]

[ ring ring, boss!! ]

[kingofrooks]

[ Picking upppppp ]

What.

[girlyboywonder]

What's his timeline? [ WHERE ARE TWO-FACE'S SCARS?? D: ]

[kingofrooks]

Sometime before mine. [ He's been expecting this call. ] He's Harvey Dent right now. Healed.

[ As much as it's possible for him to be goes unsaid. ]

Why?

[note in cyberspace]

[Trigger a certain code, through several network searches of keywords, keywords like 'Joker' and 'Black Mask' and 'Gotham', and things will go a wee bit awry on the network. Screen-eating code with the repeating binary for 'Batman' will cycle down the screen intermittently, with 'L's' NV code - similarly in binary - tapped out in between. The meaning is clear. If you can see this, I want to talk to you. And because he wants to link his anonymous voice to the uncontactable hero.

Don't you know it's rude not to leave your number, Batman?]

[kingofrooks]

[ Well now, if you can't bother making the effort to find him? You're not worth even talking to.

He sends a message back: ]

Qdpf.

[ Playfair code. 'Talk'. ]

[distorted audio]

[killswithapen]

Interesting. You have admirable skill.

And not simply with a computer.

Do you ever sleep? I do not. Crime, after all, does not sleep. Although that is not precisely true. Crime must occasionally sleep. That is when I join it.

[Pause. Maybe he's overdoing it.]

But I do not leap tall buildings in a single bound. Are you as human as the rest of us, the pinnacle of all that can be achieved with single minded dedication, or are you more than human? Curious minds would like to know.

Are you quite done posturing?

[gaveherwings]

[Tucked above the roof entry door on the roof of Skye Medical, printed on the back of a departmental memo about changes to the Emergency Codes system.]

This is the only time I'll be humoring this note-passing game you two so enjoy, so if you would please allow me some normal means of contact?

I owe you my deepest gratitude, for her rescue. You have my full cooperation, when necessary.

[kingofrooks]

[ HAHAHA. Folded into a paper plane and flown into Daedalus's office window during lunch hour: ]

Why would you need to contact me for?

[gaveherwings]

[Better make that the staff cafeteria, because Daedalus' office is alas not graced with windows.

And...he's already said he won't be playing this game, so he tears the note neatly into tiny shredded strips, and deposits it with the rest of his lunch trash.]

[calling for Bruce Wayne]

[mentis_reae]

[Ring, ring...]

[kingofrooks]

[ picks up- ]

... Hello?

[mentis_reae]

Mr. Wayne? This is Miles Edgeworth.

[kingofrooks]

[ There's audible surprise in his voice. ]

Oh- hey, Edgeworth. [ Pause. ] Is something wrong?
