Loving you is easy 'cause you're terrible... [Potentially NSFW]

This is the eight night in a row that Ben Gibbons has sat perched on a bench outside Thessaly's apartment, serenading her and promising to love her forever.

Her neighbours are complaining now. How can they sleep with all that ruckus, night after night? Why doesn't she put a stop to it?

Not that they're complaining to her. They may not suspect, but few can bring themselves to raise their voices at Thessaly. There's always something about her that makes them uneasy.

More than Thessaly's presence here, however, is the trace of one far more sinister. One who delights in games, who sees the world as its own chessboard.

A chessboard, though, where everyone's naked and every move only strengthens the orgiastic intensity.

It's a presence familiar in its source. Too similar. Like that of the King of Dreams.

( Judging from the man downstairs, she has little difficulty guessing which sibling this is. The only unknown is why. )

Sometimes y'gotta go where everybody knows your blue jumpsuit days

There are bars and there are bars. Then there's Warriors. Where the capes go to party.

Not that I've ever worn a cape. I don't see how Batman fights in a cape--make that fights with a cape, sometimes. Spooky Ears has some sweet moves.

Not in the mood to fight. Not really in the mood to drink, but it's where I can find a little conversation, so hi ho, hi ho, to Warriors I go.

In the shadow of....

Wayne Tower stands proud and tall among the skyscrapers on the south side of Gotham. The Art Deco masterpiece is a jewel of the skyline. Economically and architecturally, it dominates several city blocks. Other businesses have flocked around it for decades, coming and going with the rising and falling tides of prosperity.

One such business is a hotel, the Goodwin. Quiet and respectable, it caters to the business rather than the tourist trade. Her distinctive eyes hidden by sunglasses, Mar'i Grayson moves unnoticed through the lobby.

Well, almost unnoticed. She can't hide her figure.
