savedtheworld | Case 2: Down-to-Earth Logic [Written / Action]

Good evening, Luceti. Robin here. I've been investigating the cases of the missing day, lost possessions and misplaced people. No leads yet and no signs of any criminal activity, but I am ever vigilant, as is the original Robin. Even my own crimefighting gear went missing, and it turned up back at the item shop. Looks like people's possessions are "resetting" within this world, for unknown reasons.

I'm ready to mark this down as another case of Malnosso wrongdoing. Whatever went down yesterday, it must have been some battle. I didn't make it back to my own room... but thanks to the kind people at House 56 for giving me shelter.

Feel free to contact either of us for any further inquiries as I start my nightly patrol. Robin (II) out.

[Aang has been AU'ed to the Teen Titans world, where he was taken in by Batman and raised as a second Robin. Here's some basic info. Just imagine he's wearing something more Robiny (keeping the headband/without tattoos). He does have a domino mask, but he's not wearing it, being open with his identity within Luceti.

You can run into "Robin" at any point of the night at one of many spots throughout the town, as he skulks around and tries to patrol unseen with varying degrees of success.]

[Given how he was out of the house early, he missed House 56 'generously' giving him shelter. So he's not buying into this.]

Very funny, Aang. I can't believe you're trying to act like that guy now.

Can't you call me Robin while I'm on patrol? And I don't know why you're saying that when "that guy" and I have been crimefighting forever.

But still. Thanks again. Sokka, right?

You're getting better at these writeups. [He;s got some reservations about just how much disclosure Aang likes to give to the community, but it's his style. Robin's not about to squash that.]

Thanks bro! I tried to write it up to match the boss's standards! With just a touch of friendliness.

He'd probably make you run laps for that friendliness. You're lucky he's not here.

[More crazy people. Must be some experiment and Leonhardt is so glad to for once not be affected.]

It wasn't a battle. I remember yesterday quite clearly and it was a normal day.

[Though some things are starting to come together. The whole things and people moving sounds a lot like an old experiment he heard about. But it wasn't preceded by a lot of people being gone.]

Heh, you're right. Good thing you're the one calling the shots here.

You don' say. But do you have any idea why half of us can't remember it?

Ah-- right. [It's a shame he can't call the shots that'll get them out of here.]

Oh hey, while you were at 56 did you get a chance to meet Katara? She's the one I've been telling you about that might be able to help with your situation. She's metahuman too.

A bit too soon to notice any for sure patterns yet. It was a lot quieter than usual and a nice day, so no reason for people to stay inside, but I saw very few while I was out.

Didn't see any of them today, I left while everyone was still asleep. But I have seen that Katara girl once... right after I arrived here and before I met up with you. It was weird. She and her brother acted like they knew me, but now I know they can't have been from our world...

If she can help, maybe I should make contact.

I see. Thanks for your diligence. Could many of us have been kidnapped at the same time from our rooms without anyone at all noticing? It just doesn't fit with what I've read about kidnappings or experiments. Of course, the Malnosso are least known for predictability.

It would be a very small chance. With that many, one was bound to be caught on someone's journal and it was just as silent there as it was in the village.

It could be that you look like someone they know. They're anxious to see their leader again. It's a religious thing from what I understand.

That could explain it. I look like a... religious leader? Weird.

I see. This calls for even further investigation.

What's that supposed to mean? I'm Sokka. Your buddy? Found you in an iceberg? Saved the world together?

We met once, maybe. Listen... I hate to break it to you, but I think I only look like your friend. I come from Gotham City, only icebergs I've ever seen were at the Iceberg Lounge.

... wow. The Malnosso really did a number on your head, didn't they?

They definitely did something to make a lot of us forget whatever happened yesterday. But aside from that small memory gap, I'm fine.

[And given how Katara left the house late (a bit before 9 or so), "Robin" was probably long gone by then as well. It's a Monday, and so AU!Katara is probably on her way to check if Nami is back for bo practice. What are the chances that she is being followed?]

[The chances are approximately Batman percent. Following his chat with Robin I, it doesn't take him long to find Katara walking through town. He crawls through some nearby bushes to get close enough to confirm her identity. He accidentally snaps a twig in the process.]

[Twigs snapping in bushes... not that uncommon. Probably one of those weird "rabbits" or "squirrels" that everyone insisted were normal, and that Katara was starting to grow accustomed to as well. So it's a curious, but ot suspicious glance she sends the bush's way as she keeps on walking.]

[Close one. Katara almost saw him. Wait, that means she actually is Katara. So Robin waits for her to have moved forward a bit, then he quietly rolls from the bushes and tries to fall into pace alongside her.]

Good evening, Miss. Katara, right?

[That entrance was maybe not as ninja as you would have liked it to be, Aang. She was already on mild alert from glancing around, so for once she's not startled when a Robin sneaks up on her. More like - surprised.]

Of course it's Katara.

[Very surprised. She'd noticed that Aang had been different towards her since he got back from the guru, but it hadn't impeded their friendship. He'd only occasionally been a bit more... reserved, like whatever special connection the two of them had shared had been cut off. It had hurt, but she had been willing to put aside confronting him about it until after the war... and then Luceti happened... and now that he was finally here, he was asking her name as if he'd forgotten about her?

No, Aang may pull jokes, but he wasn't that mean.]

Who else would I be?
