Watch, as I blind you with SCIENCE!

RP blog of Wilhelmina Billie Flynn, an OC of the Batman Universe, and resident genius of fringe sciences. Originally made to run around in the Arkham games verse, but can be adapted to other Batverses. M!A in effect: None! (RPs are open!)

//Hey, I posted a meme I was tagged in ages ago because I’m not dead. Let’s do dinner.

Wait

Anyway, as you can tell by the state of my desktop, I’m currently in a chaos mode. I’ll still be back, like usual, but I needed to post a thing in the mean time because I needed to.

Sorry again to you sweet owed babies, I’ll be back to you when I can be, and I will write you things D:

Right Place, Wrong Time

William had to blink at the young woman before him. Once, twice, three times before he cocked his head slightly to the side. Green eyes studied her, flicking from the wild hair to the features of her face, mind obsessing over the particular subtle impression of her as well as the sound of her voice. He knew this woman— or he felt he did. It was unsettling, the surreal feeling of knowing something but also not knowing it. The frustrating sense of an answer being right on the tip of the tongue, but the brain failing to put it to words. After a pause, he swallowed, and it hit him.

This woman looked like one of his aunts. It was impossible, this woman was much younger than his aunt, by at least thirty years, maybe more. He was a poor judge of age. Then again, all three of his aunts were known for taking the word impossible and turning it on its head on a regular basis. In his moment of shock and wonder, his jaw had dropped somewhat, until he finally forced himself to form the question. Either he was right, or she’d laugh at him for asking— either way, it would get the conversation going.

"—Aunt Billie?”

“So we do know each other. I thought you looked familiar.” Billie concluded after her name was offered, brow furrowing as her mind continued trying to work out how the two knew each other. Judging by his expression, it was more than just in passing. “Wait-”

She stopped just as quickly, eying the man suspiciously and taking a step back. “What did you call me? ...Aunt? Who do I know that would have a kid-”

It was glaringly obvious; she should have pieced it together sooner. The auburn hair, green eyes, his height...must have come from his father-

“You’re Aristel’s aren’t you?”

Five years? Man a lot has happened. The Jokerz went crazy, bunch of bad guys showed up and Batman showed up too. Then the Splicer scene happened and some of the city got trashed by bombing and and a few other things. I think that’s the very abridged version of what happened in five years.

[paradigmsshift]

Wait, wait, wait...Jokerz? As in, plural? Bombings? Splicers? Batman leaving? I’m gone for a few years and this is what happens?!

[paradigmsshift]

//Welp

I am not updating the pages right now, but that doesn’t affect anything currently running, so no worries.

I am going to post the replies and a few things I had saved in my drafts. Again, no one is obligated to continue playing if my continuous mystery of when I will reply, is a bother.

And I am working on the tagged meme. I’m having trouble determining what counts as childhood. Anything before 18? Under 10? I don’t know, but that’s the last part I’m on.

[paradigmsshift]

//Soooooon

Thing started going on, so my hopes seem dashed for the time being. Possibly in the wee hours???

[paradigmsshift]

//Sorry if I left anyone on a cliffhanger

I didn’t make another post because everything else I wanted to write/rewrite is at the 70% mark in my drafts. But! That’s still progress and I will take my wins where I can.

Assuming my head decides to be cooperative, we may get all of that done today, which would be hella sweet.

[paradigmsshift]

//Got the Guidelines/Disclaimer Page Done

If anyone wants to read through it to make sure I covered everything that needed to be covered, and that it all makes sense, that would be cool and appreciated! Though no one is obligated!

Next order is either the Billie and Paradigm pages, or the rps and meme I owe.

[paradigmsshift]

//No Promises

but I’m going to try to rework a lot of the pages today, and see if I can make up a concise Disclaimer/Rules/Guidelines page.

Depending on the above’s success, I’ll get the owed bits done as well.

[paradigmsshift]

//Not Dead

Hey there everyone,

I know I’ve been absent for a while, but this account (as well as my other rp accounts) are absolutely NOT dead.

They are highly irregular with activity at the moment, but I’m still counting them as active. I’m not going anywhere, and I’m not abandoning anything.

I do still plan to reply to any rps I currently owe, and when I do, you are not obligated to continue if my lack of a stable replying schedule is too much of a hassle. I will understand and I will not hold it against you. And if you don’t mind my flighty replying schedule and want to continue, then awesome, I’ll keep replying.

Minor update, but I needed to break the silence.

See you soon.

<3

//Okay, because I didn't get to inform last night. My mom had the computer extra long and I had to be up early for a long voyage to the doctor XP (Which ended up draining most of my social stamina for the day XP x2)

But! Here are your replies! They both ended up a bit longer, but I tried to edit x4 some bits out, so if anything accidentally ended up unclear because of it, please let me know.

And since I have all of you here, and I don't think I already talked about it, I have a final design for those online/offline/lurking card/pictures/whathaveyous. They're kind of simple, but I like them :) Just gotta draw 'em up now!

Right Place, Wrong Time

paradigmsshift

William had been on his way home from school, backpack shouldered and a decent spring in his step, heading to take the A-track to the edge of the city where he parked his car every day, preferring to use public transit in the city verses driving. Traffic was always so hectic, the trains were just more reliable for getting to school on time. However, only half way there, and he found himself stopping dead in his tracks. He felt someone, nearby… someone who felt lost, like they had no idea where they were or where they were going. In an instant, his abilities went to work, abandoning his path to the train to follow his instincts instead, even if the mind he sensed was very quiet and subtle.

He knew it was there, and he would not ignore it. The city had too many problems that stemmed out of people just not caring about each other. In time, his sense led him to a woman with wild blond hair, whom he approached slowly. “Excuse me, miss? Are you okay?”

[paradigmsshift]

Having the success of her journey confirmed by a fellow citizen of Gotham didn't leave Billie with any less questions. Her theories-or hypotheses if she were to get technical about it-had been correct so far. Mostly. She had been aiming for 5 years into the future, but definitely overshot that mark. She wanted to apply the same multiplier to the duration of her visit, one day now being ten, but it would purely be speculation. This was an entirely new beast, who's to say it would follow a simple and logical path?

Billie figured the easiest thing to do was wait out the ten days, and if nothing happened, she could work on building another machine, she just wasn't sure what to do in the mean time. All the cautionary time travel tales were about messing up the past and ruining the future, not the other way around. The future was always changeable, wasn't it? Even in her own timeline? So her actions in this future couldn't possibly have any real effect, right? She could just preemptively undo any damage once she got back home?

Then again, wasn't this future some other future's past? Would they cease to exist once she did go home-did they branch off into separate timelines at that point? Was her traveling to and from different times a solidified and scripted event already, that was going to play out how it was going to regardless of what she did?

Too many thoughts, too many theories-hypotheses-whatever.

The calm voice that had addressed her was a welcome intrusion to these thoughts. Billie halted her steps, taking a brief glance around at where her feet had been taking her before responding.

"Well," She stopped almost immediately upon viewing the speaker. He was tall, college aged with a slight red to his hair, but there was something unsettlingly familiar about him. Even more so considering he didn't exist in her time. "That remains to be seen."
