[he holds up a hand, dressed casually.]

Yo. So, how does a hunt for a theoretical dinosaur work?

[vigilantics]

Well, see, if I knew that then I probably wouldn't still be searching for it.

[ please

where the fuck is this dinosaur, belph ]

[axilium]

[...]

Wow, what is this, reverse Jurassic Park?

[vigilantics]

I hope not. Too many people get eaten in that.

[ she pulls out her phone and clicks around. ]

It's a Little Foot. But who knows, maybe there's more? That was the only one I personally saw though.

[axilium]

[







hm]

Ah, Gotham never fails to entertain.

[vigilantics]

Look. I did warn you.

[ do not move to gotham if you want an uneventful life. shit happens. ]

[axilium]

That, you did. [a smile] Well, I can't promise that I won't be completely useless on this dino hunt, but shall we be off?

[vigilantics]

Sometimes all you need is an extra set of eyes.

[ but off they go! she's still looking at her phone. ]

Apparently... some kids at the high school tweeted about seeing a funky looking lizard dog. Might be our guy.

[axilium]

[following along! as he keeps an eye out.]

Glad to know that this dinosaur understands the importance of education.

[vigilantics]

I know, right? It's good to start them young. Soon, we'll have to be thinking about colleges...

[ you're not adopting the dinosaur

(probably) ]

[axilium]

[do not adopt the dinosaur.]

Now, now, we don't want to pressure them, Steph.

[vigilantics]

[ stranger things have happened than adopting little foot. ]

Ah... true. I am already being a tiger mom.

[axilium]

Yes, and shame on you.

[...]

So... what exactly happened?

[vigilantics]

Saw an ad of someone trying to sell a dinosaur on the black market. Caught that guy, and right now it's unclear how he got them. Babs [ who belph would now know was the first batgirl ] is trying to figure that part out.

[ babs is a techie and while steph knows how to computer she's not like. a genius. ]

Anyway, when I confronted the guy he thought it was a smart idea to let the dino escape so I couldn't take it from him. He somehow did not realize that this would mean he also would no longer have the dinosaur.

[ and now she is on a dino chase. ]

[axilium]

[........ looking a little like he's trying not to laugh, but—]

Why are criminals so stupid.

[vigilantics]

Soooo stupid!

[ she dramatically gestures, as if that conveys what she is feeling. it probably does. ]

They can never just go to jail normally.

[axilium]

[he nods, as if he completely understands.]

Well, you'd probably be out of a job if they did.

[vigilantics]

You got me there.

[ she cannot argue. ]

I guess I could take up knitting with the free time.

[axilium]

[





he just bursts out laughing sorry]</small.

your small tag

[vigilantics]

[ FLICKS HIM ON THE NOSE. ]

YOU MEANIE

[axilium]

[flicked]

You don't even know what I'm laughing at!

[vigilantics]

I assume it's at me.

It's a safe assumption to make.

[axilium]

Maybe I'm laughing at the beautiful scenery in Gotham.

[vigilantics]

Wow, Belph. Maybe we should hand you a paintbrush and see what else your keen eye can see.

[ she just rolls her eyes. dork.

but at least, they're coming close to the school. they can spot a crowd of teenagers showing each other their phones. ]

[axilium]

I hope you're not asking for a self-portrait.

[ah, teenagers. something about seeing them just gives you a visceral reaction "belph is barely out of his teens" he graduated and that counts

he whispers to steph—]

So do you just approach them like a normal person, or...?
