little shadow, little shadow
WHO: BATWOMAN and YOU
WHERE: various and some seedy locations in the City.
WHEN: between the nights of 3/19 till 3/23
WARNINGS: brb
SUMMARY: Caped vigilante doing her thing and running into people. FIESTA.
FORMAT: Quick, please! :c Just indicate when and where in the header and we're good to go.
[ Once again, she feels a prick of guilt when she slips out of the apartment, leaving Nill all alone for the night. It's the last thing she needs, but Kate reminds herself she knew what she was getting into when she first donned this uniform. It has to be done. This is her duty.
With that, she focuses on the tasks ahead of her for tonight. Time to get to work. ]

3/20 [Abandoned Warehouse #518]
she didn't know that it would be suspicious-looking if she snuck into a random warehouse that once belonged to some kind of pastry-making company.
she didn't know that the sounds coming from said device would echo ominously from the warehouse into the night.
but she honestly had to try this out. a few hours ago she had discovered that the AHPD could be pulled out of thin air and rest comfortably in her hands, and while she had no idea how such a thing was possible...she just had to. it was practically second nature to use this thing. even before she regained access to the device in her hands she had found smooth white surfaces catching her eye every now and then, the inner workings of her brain figuring out where another portal could be placed for ideal velocity or puzzle solving...even though there were no puzzles to be solved.
no tests to be taken.
she at least had the decency to sneak off to a remote location to try this. and the warehouse had plenty of smooth surfaces and boxes to climb on.
just like hom--...the facility.
with a deep breath, she fires her first portal...a blue one, on the ground in front of her. When the portal takes shape, there's a sigh. a few feet away are a pile of well-stacked crates a dozen or so feet high. angling her gun over at the wall across it, she shoots the secondary portal: orange this time. then, with a jump she falls into the blue, out of the orange, and then shoots another blue portal before she lands on the ground again, gaining momentum as she exits the orange a second time...
and lands expertly on her feet on top of the tower of crates.
there's a satisfied breath as she stands atop her new perch, looking around.]
((lmao what is sleep....and what is tl;dr in action brackets.))
no subject
But it had been faulty and potentially harmful to the people around. She doesn't recognize this woman's face, though she can make out the determined look in her eyes.
So she follows her... like a ghost. She moves from rooftop to rooftop, eventually making her way toward the warehouse. From a window above, she watches the experimentation of the portal gun unfold. Well, this woman clearly knows what she's doing, but curiosity is only a natural part of a Bat's nature.
If Chell is paying attention, she might make out a large, dark silhouette disappearing into the shadows. ]
no subject
she looks over just in time to notice the silhouette disappear, and she feels the hairs on the back of her neck prickle with unease as she remains staring in that one spot.
any normal person would call out, ask 'who's there?' but Chell had made a habit out of not talking, so she simply remains quiet, watching, trigger finger at the ready if there winds up being a need to escape.]
no subject
She certainly doesn't want that gun fired at her. Who knows where it will dump her. ]
no subject
and that made her uncomfortable.
after another second of waiting she jumps down from the boxes with no hesitation, again, landing on her feet with ease, Long-Fall boots hitting the ground with a distinct echo.
she'll just remain quiet. always quiet. watching.
though she does finally act, shooting a blue portal in a general direction on the ceiling above the crates she detects the presence by. it was only a hunch, she could be a billion feet off, but nevertheless she shoots the orange portal next to her on the ground and simply.
looks down to see if there is anyone by the crates.]
no subject
She's not going to hurt her, but she's ready to put her gauntlet to use if she tries something funny. ]
Lower your weapon.
no subject
her Portal Device is raised for a moment towards the figure, and it takes her a second to realize the "weapon" in question was the device she held in her hands.
there's some hesitance, but she lowers the operational end of the device towards the ground.
she's still cautious and remains in place, carefully studying the shock of red against the mono-coloured crates of the warehouse.]
no subject
Her attention never once lifts from the gun. ]
A portal gun, am I correct?
no subject
her eyes widen for a second in surprise as the woman recognizes the device, and she nods, adjusting her grip on the device.]
no subject
Can you speak?
no subject
so, technicalities aside, Chell finally shakes her head.
'no.'
at least, not for now.]
no subject
Did you design it?
no subject
she takes one hand off it and gestures to her chest, at the name on her tank top. Aperture Laboratories.
she's just a test subject, nothing more. the only scientific skills she possessed were building potato batteries, and even she didn't remember if that was actually hers.
she raises an inquisitive eyebrow after that. how did this stranger know about the portal gun? had she met GLaDOS when She, apparently, had been here?]
no subject
It's interesting, I'll admit.
