[ he would prefer zero nonsense, but such is an impossibility in his life. and so sandalphon excuses himself to change, then emerges not long after with the tie hanging loosely off his shoulder. as for the rest of the suit, it fits him well enough. ]
[ he has one (1) set of clothes and was wearing them before he changed into the suit. but humans aren't timeless like primals; natsuo had words about that when they first met . . . and that feels like years ago for sandalphon.
[ she would prefer not to drag belph or hikage into something like this, considering neither of them can fight and hikage usually defaults to "we could just kill them" and steph is trying to. not do that. everyone else had been legitimately too busy. ]
but time for them to head on out. steph is going to be borrowing a car that... definitely does not belong to her because it's $$$$ and out of her price range, it's good that batman is rich. ]
[ the last time he was here, he saw countless vehicles on the way to the amusement park. the one stephanie brings to the party looks quite different though, and he slides into the passenger seat after a glance, because they'll die if he drives.
confidence? never. he fiddles with the tie—feels constricting—but does so gently to maintain stephanie's handiwork. ]
[ on one hand it'll be funny sticking a fantasy character in the front seat of a ferrari, but on the other, she isn't sure how to explain the damages to bruce. the fact that he is even allowing her to take this means a lot and it would probably be best to not break that trust immediately just for a joke. ]
Okay, so. There will be pretty tight security at the place we're going. Armed guards, but they're hidden as to not alert the guests.
[ he looks out the window, soaking in their shifting surroundings as he absorbs her words. no questions as of yet—she'll probably answer them if he lets her finish explaining. ]
The main purpose for this is to confirm that the suspect has stolen a priceless artifact. The intel I have states that he's going to be showing it off to some guests that were invited to the party, so we have to find a way into the room.
Mostly just try not to stand out too much. If someone tries talking to you, brief conversation is fine, but we don't want people noticing us to the point where someone might wonder exactly who we are.

So why am I doing this?
no subject
[ there we go. perfect. ]
We'll blend in better with you.

It'll be fine.

Good grief. That go-getter attitude of yours . . . Well? Where is this party?
no subject
It's downtown. We should get going before traffic gets annoying.
no subject
[ so she can soon arrive to the conclusion that hikage would have been the better choice. ]

[ she operates under the assumption that he'll be any good at socializing, unless she intends for him to just stand there next to her. ]
no subject
[ ...
actually, she knows the answer to that question as soon as it leaves her mouth. ]
no subject
I can hardly charm the inhabitants of a world I'm unfamiliar with.
[ let him live with the delusion that he can probably charm someone back in the sky realm. ]
no subject
[ maybe they think him being grumpy is endearing. ]
no subject
We'll see once we arrive. What else should I know to prevent suspicion?

For the sake of brief conversation, what exactly is our relationship?
no subject
[ good times. ]
no subject
That was entirely your doing, you know. I didn't intend for us to feign such a [ mortal ] human connection.
no subject
Sometimes you have to just wing it. It worked, didn't it?
[ ... ..... somehow. ]
no subject
[ thinking about that detail sours his mood just a little for a fleeting second. back to business. ]
How much longer?
