[ Because, Bruce does nothing more than text on the network. It's easier and more discrete. Especially when you work in for a million dollar corporation that isn't really your own. So, once again, Bruce is addressing the network. ]

Citizens of Driftcrest have started to disappear at an alarming rate. You can't even get into the Ice Statue Garden without a fear of being trampled. The situation is going to escalate into a panic that we'll need to deal with... even if we aren't native to the reality.

Time to pool together what we've learned. Post what you've found about the Unseen or history of Driftcrest. I think it's time we start moving forward with a plan.

Especially our caped hero types. We all know you're here. Share what you've got.

There's also new faces on the network. Feel free to introduce yourselves here.

I'm Bruce Wayne. I ran a billion dollar multi-corporation in my home reality, and now sit on the board of Wechester Enterprises. Mr. Wechester is always keeping an eye on what we do--as it's obvious we're not native to any of these realities. Don't be surprised if I bring up questions or concerns he ever has. Never thought I'd be a liaison.

Driftcrest makes the third. Fourth, if you want to count Gotham.

Well, when I'm about to make a high stakes business venture.

[ He'll keep that idea going. There's no need to make people think twice about who Bruce Wayne might be -- who Diana might be. ]

You at least know how to preserve their stories for the next generation. Some people might say that's heroic.

I see. I also see that this is what I have to look forward to, such as it is.

It seems to me, Mr. Wayne, that you and high stakes business ventures often go hand in hand. Such is the life of a millionaire, I suppose.

[ Truthfully, she's not ready for people to begin asking those questions. And it isn't her place to cause them to speculate about the man behind the mask. So for the moment, she also intends to play her part. ]

Well, I would not be very good at my job if I didn't know how to do that. But you're right: the next generation is very important. We must give them the ability to know these stories and to learn from them.

[ She smiles, but this is by text, so it can't be seen anyway. ]

Perhaps I should begin to wear a cape. I understand that they're becoming very popular in certain circles.

[menarebrave]

As long as you are here anyways. Some people stay, some leave.

Well, there wouldn't be much to gain if you didn't play high stakes. I imagine it's similar when you're dealing in antiques.

[ They all have a part to play. Even him. ]

Maybe there's some other stories we need your help in preserving. I could make some calls.

[ A few minutes pass before the reply comes in. ]

How about dinner, Miss Prince? There's a few things we need to discuss.

[stayfightgive]

Seeing as how I've only just arrived, I would think the odds of me leaving again so soon are against me. And I can't help it if my curiosity has been piqued.

Oh, it is. You'd be surprised by how competitive, I suppose you could say, the antiquities circle can be.

[ She might argue that he has a bigger part to play than most, but something tells her he'd disagree. ]

Calls, you say? What sort of calls?

[ She waits for those few minutes, wondering if the conversation came to an end when his reply comes. ]

I think that I can manage dinner. Where should I meet you?

[ Bruce Wayne, of all people, does not simply ask someone to have dinner with him. Whatever he wants to discuss, it must be important. ]

[menarebrave]

You'd be surprised at what this place can do.

I have a few connections. I might be able to help you find something that your skill in the arts can help with.

[ There's no response in words to her question. Instead, Diana receives a downloadable message. An address -- which is to his house. Condo at one point, but well, he's needed to upgrade due to needing something for the suit.

Eventually a cave.

Regardless, Bruce is already on his way out of the office and back home. ]
