Party time and more [Action]

[idkmybffalfred]

[In a ballroom at Central City.]

The auction was done and a hefty pile of wealth had been gathered to help pay for the reconstruction of Amestris in the wake of the devastating undead invasion. All that was left at this point was the after party, and EVERYONE has been invited. The majority of the party has moved to a huge ballroom, complete with an in house orchestra, several tables of light snacks and drinks, a large dancing area, tables around the edges of the room, and servants with trays of drinks making sure no one goes long without a glass. Brag about your newest acquisition, seeth with jealousy at the guy who bid more on the piece you wanted, enjoy fine food and drinks from across the empire, get drunk, dance, have fun. Mr. Wayne is footing the bill tonight.

[Elsewhere, later that evening...]


A dark figure edges close to the tall wall surrounding the manor belonging to the mysterious man known only as The Major. It produces a grappling hook from under its cloak, and is perched atop the wall in short order to get a better look at what it has to contend with here.

While she was fiddling with her gear, she got the feeling she might not be ENTIRELY alone in this alley. A feeling confirmed quite quickly by a gravelly voice coming from somewhere behind her. "Nice night for a stroll, don't you think?"

Immediately, Kallen turned around to face the man.

"... Surely you've got better things to do than tracking down random girls," she declared.

[gothamsknight]

"Random girls aren't as interesting as trained infiltrators and I don't like it when someone else ruins my work."

[hair_dress_accent]

"I could say the same about you. I had my orders, you know."

Kallen took a more defensive stance.

[gothamsknight]

"The daughter of a wealthy nobleman's family who is supposedly anemic was given order to infiltrate a heavily guarded manor and has access to teleportation magic and martial training. Maybe I've learned something useful tonight after all."

[hair_dress_accent]

"You're probably not much different! Somehow, I don't think you do this all day and night either!"

Kallen glared at Batman... However, she did not move to attack.

[gothamsknight]

"I'm warning you this time. Don't get in my way again."

[hair_dress_accent]

"Shouldn't I be asking that of you?"

Kallen's glare was... Pretty strong, all given.

While she spoke, Batman faded into the darkness, and suddenly Kallen found herself speaking to an empty alleyway.
