[Video Post 001] Bookish Bat

[batofprey]

[Okay, she totally felt as though she came off as a giant nerd around the Head Librarian, but that was okay. She usually tended to come off as kind of nerdy anyway. Even in Burnside, though everyone around her was all kinds of fiercely intelligent, Barbara had those moments where she felt like she was just a little bit out of place. Here, though, in the library? She was completely at home.

Even if the place was all kinds of bonkers.

She hadn't opened any books yet, mostly to heed what the Head Librarian had said about them not being what they seemed to be.

She looks down at the gold, stylized bat in her hand. It so closely resembles the emblem emblazoned across her chest and smiles. Even the Library knows how the Batfamily likes their accessories. After a moment, Barbara sets it to broadcast. She checks to make sure that her cowl is still on - of course it is - before speaking.]

So. How's everyone doing? In terms of acclimating? Anyone had any interesting adventures with any books yet? Because there's a few that look interesting, but I'm not sure what would happen if I open them. I'm kind of expecting the books on animals to...act like animals.

If that makes sense.

I'm Batgirl, by the way.

Hi.

I got lost twice already but I'm used to that so it wasn't that bad.

[Barry gives a little wave.]

Hi I'm Barry Allen.

[batofprey]

I haven't explored much yet, but I wanted to see if anyone else had, you know.

Come across anything interesting.

[There's a short pause. She knows that name, of course. Having read it in Batman's casefiles.]

You look younger than I expected.

Lots of dust....and cobwebs. Nothing too dangerous yet though.

[Barry looks confused. As far as he knows he's never met this woman before and yet it sounds like they might have.]

I do? Have we met before?

[batofprey]

[There's a brief pause as Babs considers how to approach this question. Have they met? Not as much, no. Barbara's always been kept away from League business. But he is the Flash where she's from, and she can't imagine that the name Barry Allen is all that common, is it?]

Not as such, no. I've just heard of you. From a mutual friend. [Though if the cowl wasn't a giveaway, Barbara had to wonder where this Barry was from.]

Okay...I think I might have remembered a friend of mine who dressed like that and sadly I don't. I think you might know another me...timelines are funny like that.
