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.
[ she points at an upcoming building. it's not that hard to miss; the buildings in this area is already fairly fancy, but this one basically screams "i'm expensive." ]
[ to sandalphon, it screams, "i'm excessive." he gives the building a long, appraising look; quieting down to let stephanie manage the vehicle while he processes everything he's been told and is seeing. this is the last moment of peace stephanie will have before she dies inside from the imminent scene. ]
once they're nice and parked though, it's time for them to!!! go in and kick ass!! steph already scoped the area out beforehand so she knows where all the exits are already, at least. ]
so stephanie's run through the details. seeing as she's more familiar with just about everything, however, sandalphon won't make any moves on his own. he paces himself to walk by her side, and will let her answer first should anyone approach them. she probably looks more friendly anyway, what with the mild scowl perpetually plastered on sandalphon's face. ]

I can hardly charm the inhabitants of a world I'm unfamiliar with.

For the sake of brief conversation, what exactly is our relationship?
no subject
[ good times. ]

No. I don't usually mingle with mortals.
