【 @metanoen , magik to cass | 'Why stay somewhere safe and comfortable when we could be in mortal peril?' | bg3 party banter , accepting.
gotham streets don't look any kinder from above, a place where no angels dare tread, a den of crime. a gentle breeze brings no leaves, only litter, and a chill with the scent of filth. it's home [...] where people she cares for stay, more than enough to dawn the cowl, to protect and save / to risk life and limb once more. mask sits drawn up, only revealing lips, only enough to drink and eat. usually alone, usually with steph—— although [...] maybe blondes were drawn to them in some strange, cosmic sort of way. same hair color, far from the same.
magik, something sits about her, something harsh &. craggy. like stone polished smooth yet edges going unworn, unseen until it cuts ( and cuts deep. ) steph's loud, quick-witted, funny. magik [...] a bit quieter, quick-witted at times, a little less funny. jokes often coming with a more deadpan edge, still, quite clever. still, quite funny. [...] just like others, cass knows a survivor—— a fighter—— those carving out paths themselves. some with capes and cowls while hers done with ethereal sword. ( wants to touch it, hard to ask if she can. )
scrutiny [...] truth. words were far from lies, spoken with conviction, without masking. it's the shifting of weight, the alertness to small changes, the subtle lean off rooftop to see further—— signs of hunting. jason. she reminds them of jason, sometimes wild, sometimes kind, carrying burdens. burger wrapper balls itself in fist, thrown off the edge into a trashcan below, no littering. too much already. a small detour, that should be enough, always enough if lives are saved.
❛ docks, ❜ she decides, a quick affirmation. ❛ don't fall behind. ❜ it's not stern [...] in fact, it's a light taunt. only picked up by those close, only given to those same people, a peek beneath cowl soon drawn down &. nimble frame flung from rooftop. falling, falling—— swinging from building to building with grapple line, knowing other could easily follow close behind.
