Brave and the Bold: Sliver and Robin
Hub City, New York, and now Star City. Robin's out-of-Gotham tour continues. And he was making a considerable dent in the illegal arms market. While he'd dropped by Star City last month to deal with some of the arms trafficking, he was coming back now to wrap up some loose ends and check up on things. Luckily things were looking good and the detective portion of this night went smoothly. Robin swings through the streets looking to have a good end to this night.

Now just to wrap up some small fry. Nothing like a good old punch up.

	Robin smirks over, "Theatricality and deception are powerful agents." He uses the shoulders of one thug as a vault to flip over the group and go straight into a flying kick at another's face. Impractical? Perhaps. But it was fun. "Noted. And...I understand they can rub people the wrong way in many occasions." Not that the bat family couldn't of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Exactly so," he says cheerfully. "So, managed to herd these guys in here. Anything I should know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really. Mostly small fry in an arms trafficking sort of deal that was big in Gotham. I've been going around taking out the out-of-town parts of it and just dropped here to tie up some loose ends. Anything been going on in the Triangle recently?" He strolls back to where GK is, avoiding stepping on too many thugs on his way over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahh. Well, I know something was up in the last few months, but I'm not good at that wide-scale stuff. Say, you don't know anything about the creepy sharpshooter we had this summer, while you're at it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"What level of creepy are we talking about?" Because, yes, there were levels and they were always relevant.

As he walks over, Robin finally gets a good look at his new ally. The guy had seemed familiar before but with all the head bashing and lack of good lighting, it'd been hard to get a good look at him. It was the Walker kid huh? Interesting. He should really look into better ID concealing.

On the surface the only reaction to this new information is that Robin tilts his head curiously as he asks his first question. Easily put down to curiousity and not any ID knowing. But he has to suggest, "You should really look into a mask. Trust me, they're not bad."

	"Depends the type of mask. A domino mask and good quality spirit gum go a long way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair point. I guess I'll consider it. If my partner doesn't seem like she's going to freak about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"No offense, but if she's freaking out about a mask that's not exactly a good sign. If all else fails goggles work too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2012-11-16 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"She's just very ... basic about this stuff." Once all the bad guys are unconscious, GK goes about filling the sack with all of their weapons, taking the magazines or whatever out of the guns first. "Doesn't even have a nom d'affairs, and she's been at it way longer than I. Ooh, googles are a thought. Maybe steampunk the outfit a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"Different things work for different people," he shrugs. "Just because very basic is how she does it doesn't mean you have to do it that way. Seriously, goggles are ridiculously useful. If you can work in some night vision and such later on, all the better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2012-11-16 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"Ooh, Night vision. How much does that usually run you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"Honestly, the stuff on the market could be a lot better. I think it goes for a few hundred from most retailers and online stores," he shrugs. "But I find it's best to do your own adjustments or make from components if you can." Not that this guy would have a problem on the money front of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Plain goggles work just fine until you can find a good set on the market, don't worry about it. Just one of those things that's cool to have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Heh. Good point." GK backtracked his thoughts in a 'where were we?' way. "Anyway, the sharpshooter this summer. It was 'trying to recruit for who-knows-what, then bodies on the roof' kind of creepy. Scummy assassin bodies, but it's still creepy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 03:06 am UTC (link)
	He smiled patiently as GK backtracked, he hadn't pushed before, it was easier to wait and let people tell you things. They often said more that way anyway. But at hearing what it was, the smile disappears and he's all business. "Ah, that sort of creepy. Do you know who's assassins these were?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2012-11-16 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"Enforcers for one of the local big three syndicates, probably. It was during an observation. Guy most likely saved our lives, but that doesn't stop its being creepy. Obviously, I'm not expecting you to be impressed, since it's not 'escaped lunatic takes over a diner and spends all night killing handful of people' creepy, but still." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 03:17 am UTC (link)
	"No no, it has nothing to do with impressing me. It's just that when someone says 'creepy', Gotham standards kick in and worst case scenarios are assumed. Shooters and assassins though are a whole different set of problems though, not ones to be taken lightly either. Has he popped up since then? Or any other sniper-type killings? He might be freelance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2012-11-16 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"Not lately. And the only shooting deaths have been pretty straightforward gang tussles. Fewer of them this year than previous, which is nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm, keep your eyes peeled then. He might be back, it seems odd he only took out a few enforcers and left. A little paranoia never hurt anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2012-11-16 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"So I hear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-11-16 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Thomas grins. "It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you..." (Reply to this)(Parent)
