JUNE GLOOM
WHO: Selina Kyle, or "Cat," and you!

THREE: THE NIGHT LIFE
FOUR: CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-ADVENTURE
WHERE: All over the place, fam.
WHEN: For the month of June.
WHAT: Open prompts and generic catch-all for the month of June. Mingling opportunities, quests, and whatever you wanna throw at her!
WARNINGS: Nothing yet.
ONE: *EYE OF THE TIGER PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE.*
[ During the day, you'll find Selina just about anywhere, looking for fun and, yes, a way to make herself somewhat useful. While her boys -- Bruce, Damian, and poor, sweet-natured Clark, trapped with the awful Wayne family -- have all found ways to make themselves useful bettering the community like the good little heroes they are, Selina's more profitable skills are less marketable in Chroma.
And that's fine, really. There may not be anything interesting to steal around here, but there is plenty of adventure. (And yes, she has looked just about everywhere.)
You may find her in the middle of a good workout in Flavo, getting a few good hits in on a makeshift punching bag or cracking her whip. Occasionally, she'll volunteer for quests or hunting parties -- she's solid in a fight and, like all cats, Selina is a predator. She's a good hunter, even when things get a little tricky. ]
TWO: SHHHHHHHHHH!
[ In her downtime, later on in the evenings, you're likely to find Selina in the library in Bluo, making herself more than comfortable. You'll spot her all but sprawled out on the floor, idly flipping through the pages of whatever she can get her hands on.
As expected, it's all fairytale nonsense, but. It's nice. It's a nice way to kill the time and even Selina gets lazy once in a while. Maybe it'll even help her get the jump on this place, help her uncover something hidden.
She's not there every day, but it's often enough. She tends to disappear into the books, spending hours at a time at the library. After a while, she even finds herself enjoying some of the more morbid tales. ]
THREE: THE NIGHT LIFE
[ At night, Selina really starts to miss Gotham City. They've always had sort of a love-hate relationship, the city and her, but it's home. It's not just the stupid, silly, Nice-To-Have things she's gotten accustomed to like satellite television, a good pedicure, and bajillion thread count sheets, it's the essential things -- the parts that are part of her, the parts that ache for that familiarity, that she misses most when she's away.
She misses the ugliest parts of it. She misses the sights and sounds of the city, the neon lights and dilapidated marquees; she misses the tragic and familiar faces she's watched age over the years, some old friends from a past life she's long abandoned; she misses the winding network of alleyways and the view from above, and God, does she miss that view.
You might find Selina in the middle of the night, sprinting across rooftops in Ruga, and while it isn't nearly as fun as it is back home at 40 stories above, the cobblestone streets remind her of Alleytown; it's a nice reminder of home. She moves quickly, light on her feet, but there's always a chance you'll catch her. (Maybe. Probably not. Maybe it's just coincidental!) ]
FOUR: CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-ADVENTURE
[ Anything goes! Want to plan out something? Feel free to hit me up atscottbummers, or honestly, just throw a starter on here. I'm pretty open to anything. ]
three!!
But it doesn't mean he's going to just sit around and wait! It takes a bit to track her down, and a bit more to figure out which rooftop he can catch her on but he will catch her. He has to climb up to the side of a building, dart across a few debilitating rooftops before Selina will catch him leaping across one in a rather large bound and landing on the roof she's on in a careful roll, landing in a crouch and holding it as he looks up to her. ]
Cat.
[ He doesn't pull himself up right away, staying in a low crouch because if he's honest, he's absolutely expecting her to run. ]
no subject
She wants to run.
It's always so much more fun when he chases her. This whole cat and mouse thing is is practically foreplay for them. Selina takes a step forward, one leg extended outward in preparation to spring herself forward and make a run for it, but she stops just short of the jump and merely sighs in response. ]
See, now, that's not fair. You're not even wearing the right kind of shoes for this. With my luck, you're going to fall and break something and then I'll just feel bad about it.
[ Selina turns to face him, the smirk now gone from her face. ]
I didn't worry you, did I? Couldn't sleep. Figured maybe getting a good run in might help. You didn't have to drag yourself out of bed for this, Bat...
no subject
When she comments about his shoes, he looks down, lifting a foot and assessing it. It's not... the greatest for the parkour needed for a chase but it's still good enough. He probably wouldn't hurt himself. Probably. ]
Mmm.
[ That's just him going you might have a point, in his own Bruce way.
But the next part, well, it's not like he dragged himself out of bed at all. He's just happy to be around her. Waking up without her, not sure why she was gone, it was only natural for him to go seek her out. And now he's found her. ]
You didn't. Are you tired now or do you still need more time?
no subject
Selina lifts her shoulders in a shrug, making her way across the roof where he's standing. ]
It's not the same. It's too... quiet. Back home? Even this late, there'd be the sounds of traffic, music, people laughing, people yelling, alarms going off because some people think the Smash-and-Run method is actually effective. There'd be the smell of spices, there'd be bread baking... I think all the cardio has really done is woken me up.
[ She moves in a little closer, gently prying his arms apart so she can take his hands in hers. She slips her fingers between his, lets them hang in the space between them. ]
You don't have to wait for me, but... if we could just sit here for a while? I'd really like that.
three
dave lives in ruga and also dave spends a lot of his insomniac moments up on the roof, just chilling out and watching the stars that now have color, or hanging out with the mutant geese he and john keep in a coop on the roof because
they're ridiculous.
someone sprinting across his roof catches his attention, but he's not about to go trying to catch her or anything, just: ]
Oh, sup.
no subject
And, really, who is she to judge?
Selina stops dead in her tracks, brow quirked and head whipping around to find the source of the voice. ]
Sup.
[ She backtracks a bit. ]
Hey, I know you, don't I?
no subject
[ not on random rooftops but like
hey ]
no subject
Right, right. The party. You were the kid that wished for formalwear. Sorry, that was a... fun night. I can't even recall if we got to introductions. [ A beat. ] I'm Selina. It's nice to meet you, Dave.
no subject
[ there's zero judgement in his voice, like this is a perfectly normal thing. ]
no subject
She nods, easily, her response equally casual: ]
Really helps clear the mind.
You just hang out up here a lot?
no subject
[ thanks again bro as ever ]
no subject
[ And slowly, closing the distance so they're not just... talking at each other from across the rooftop. ]
This part of town even sort of reminds me of where I grew up. A lot quieter, though. Meditative.
[ Chill. She gets it. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She grew up in a city that never sleeps. She's done plenty of traveling, vacationing, hiding out. It's not the only thing she knows, it's just what she knows. This place is... well. ]
It's kind of... maddening, isn't it? It's like it's too quiet. Or maybe I just like the noise. I miss the noise.

I miss my hair straighter.

Insomnia, mostly. I'm nocturnal. I'm not used to keeping such normal hours, but what else is there to do? Gotta take advantage of all that sunlight.
What about you? Having trouble sleeping?
