checking in

There's so much to do and see in Gotham, why waste his time tracking down a phone number when Bryce Wayne's penthouse is the most well-known private residence in the city?

The security is also an infinite improvement over some of what he's encountered lately. He examines it from afar for a little before he decides to just do this the polite way.

Well. The relatively polite way. He's not exactly immaculate after three days' wandering. Easier to let himself get spotted openly scoping out the security than to try to talk his way into the building.

(Bryce will be over here rubbing her forehead.

And keeping a very close eye on Jim's reactions.)

"I'm sure it has," Alfred says, very dry. "Seems to be quite the destination for some types."

Bryce only barely manages not to roll her eyes.

"Jim," she says, just a little sharp, "the bathroom's that way. If you'd rather go back to Milliways now, let me know."
gothamsheiress: (doing what's necessary)

Bryce watches him go for about ten seconds before turning back to Alfred.

The conversation that ensues is whispered, tense, and involves the word "criminal" quite a few times. In the end, Bryce finds herself sitting in the living room glowering over the events that have let up to this -- again -- and Alfred finds himself making tea for a criminal mastermind. Neither of them are particularly pleased with the state of affairs.

Bryce looks up from her contemplation of the skyline and raises her eyebrows.

". . . They suit you," she comments, surprised.
gothamsheiress: (the hero Gotham deserves)

She can't help pointing out, "They're made for women."
gothamsheiress: (a dark knight)

"Well, I'm not in a position to argue with you about clothing and how it fits one's gender."

Not when people are still arguing over whether to call the Bat Bat-Man or Bat-Girl.

"Have you been keeping track?"

She nods. No need to mention the people she's met who know a Bruce Wayne. She's done giving Jim information freely, if she can possibly help it.

"And your adaptation? How well-known is that one?"

Dry: "A few times. Roberta doesn't tip people off the same way, at least."

Speaking of names causing trouble--

She glances towards the kitchen.

"Alfred would like me to get you out of the house as quickly as possible, incidentally."
gothamsheiress: (didn't you get the memo?)

Bryce snorts.

"Stay for tea. He thinks you're a criminal mastermind, or at least consider yourself one, but since you haven't shown any indication of burning this place down yet you're still doing all right."

It does seem to be a remarkably common theme in Gotham's underworld.

"So what do you do? Besides presumably antagonize some version of Sherlock Holmes."
