DIYU (part 5)

Ahem...I mean: You should've known you couldn't hold me for long.

I'm ready!

All right, Gilbert Beilschmidt...I'm coming for you!

Just as I'm about to catch Catwoman, there's a crash below the building. I see the Penguin run inside. It seems the extravagant party attracted him, too.

I jump down onto the balcony and notice the temperature has drastically fallen. It's like a Russian winter out here, which makes sense when I see the tall man standing in the distance.

"Mr. Freeze," I mutter.

With three criminals running around, it'll be efficient to call for backup. I decide to contact Robin.

There's a fancy party today. Many rich socialites will be there, and they'll want to chat with me.

I have to make sure I smile...act friendly...flirt a little. I have to keep up the image everyone expects. I can't let them find out I'm not just there to mingle, I have a secret job to do.

They can't know what I'm looking for. Or rather...who I'm looking for. She left me a tip she'd be here. It's all part of her little game of cat and mouse. Or rather...cat and bat.

DIYU (part 3)

Woohoo, I got through the maze!!

I'm actually Alfred, but I'm playing Bruce...so is this judge asking me in the context of the game, or asking me for real? If I say 'no', then I can get away with not revealing my identity either way while still technically being honest since I'm not ACTUALLY Bruce...yeah, I'll go with that!

Weeell, given the answer to a previous riddle was that yellow is the center of everything (and it IS the center here), I'm gonna bet that the yellow key is a good choice! ☝️

Diyu (part 1)

Say, if this is an Underworld...am I gonna run into ghosts?

Just, uh, just checking...so I can be prepared. It's always good to be prepared.

WHAT THE–?!

I weave through the crowds and exit the building through a back door, slipping into the darkness.

I change into my alter ego. Super. Cool.

Using my grappling hook, I fly to the roof and find her waiting there. A small black feline rubs against her legs.

"Stop this," I speak in a rough and gravelly way, "stop dragging your cat into a life of crime."

"No," she says, "I'm going to use these valuables to buy the most expensive cat playground I can find."

As a cat lover, myself, I find her argument very convincing. She would probably put the valuables to better use than those she stole from – but as I said in a previous data entry, I try not to let personal biases get in the way of vigilante work.

"If you return the valuables, I'll donate money to your cat," I offer. It's no big deal. I donate money to charity all the time.

Tragically, she doesn't listen to me in my total hero voice and instead attacks with her cat o' nine tails. She likes the hunt too much to accept generosity.
