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...?

[vigilantics]

I--

[ she glances down, like she is realizing she is not in her suit. and then nods slowly. ]

Yes. Pretend to be hip with the youth.

[ and she will walk over to them, clutching her phone. ]

Hey! Did you guys see a weird lizard? I saw a video on twitter.

[ they all start talking all at once about the lizard dog. amazing. ]

[axilium]

[somewhere behind steph, there is the sound of someone trying not to laugh, maybe.]

Wowzers. Don't suppose anyone snapped a photo?

[vigilantics]

[ she just mouths 'i hate you' but then turns her attention back to the teens when they, again, start talking excitedly

one of them holds out their phone



little foot is doing a wheelie one of their skateboards. ]

Ah.

[axilium]

[he smiles innocently! love you too, bestie.




he lets out a whistle.]

Wow. That's a very impressive lizard dog.
