Cranky in the middle of the night (GK)
So...no sleep.

Zoe couldn't keep her brain from mulling over the old man hanging around the Triangle, or the preppy kid wandering in for no apparently /good/ reason, and it was not letting her sleep. The longer she couldn't sleep, the angrier she grew until she was out in the night looking for something.

Which would be the reason she was at GK's door. If he was with the boyfriend, oh well. No one ever said that being her friend was easy.

	The boyfriend would probably sleep just as well without him. GK met her at the door in his impeccably stylish pajamas, eyebrow raised (Reply to this)(Thread)

	While she admired GK's cool poise in the most impossible situations, the raised brow just tweaked her cranky a little higher. Plus, he was always wearing the Right Thing. How did he do that? "What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, that sucks, but a lot less than plenty of things. Come on in, try to be quiet. You want me to make you some pain perdu, or change and put on my makeup so we can go look for more violent options?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't get dressed up." She didn't move from the doorstep. "I can't find the old man, GK. Somebody should've seen him in the Triangle. They see everything, but nobody is talking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So...either he's really sneaky, or he's the kind of guy you don't talk about seeing?" he guesses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-06 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	"No, not necessarily crazy, but wouldn't it be harder to shut people up if he's new? Maybe he's an old one? Roots in the community or whatever?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Him showing up again at the same time that Thomas kid wandered through is suspicious." Because it had to be explained.

That, or she was going to have to do the very last thing she wanted and talk to her mom about it. If the guy was from the old days, Michelle would know. Not for the first time, although less in the last couple of years now that GK was here, she wished she could find Deadshot and ask him to help the Triangle again.

"Can I come in for awhile? I'll be quiet." Yeah, she totally forgot GK had already told her to come in.

	"Of course." He'll close the door once she is. "We have gotten the occasional influx of Gotham thugs, lately," he granted. "But those were... very different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2013-03-07 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Gotham thugs, and no Gotham heroes. Typical." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, Robin was here tracking them briefly one night you couldn't get away from your Mom, but honestly, I don't want Gotham guys around here. Their neuroses are way too intense for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoe dropped into her usual seat and pulled out a handful of small rocks. She kept a few in her pockets for times when an annoyance didn't require a bullet, and when she was twitchy and needed to do something with her hands. She tossed one at a wastepaper basket in a corner. "How would Gotham like it if we wandered into their territory sometime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-08 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Probably not too well, what with the neuroses. Besides, let's face it; I'm too pretty for Gotham." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have you ever been there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-10 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"Only just for the fundraisers. Grandma'd through a fit if we stayed any longer." Pause. "She also has no idea where I do my volunteer work, obviously. But the place is just loaded with serial-killer baggage. We've got a little around here, but not that brand of crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2013-03-10 01:59 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm." There had to be something there, it was so popular. And the neurotics were straying over into the Triangle. Her expression said she'd found a possible outlet for her mad on she'd been dealing with lately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"....what's the plan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2013-03-10 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Creepy old guy is showing up wherever we go. Maybe he shows up on Gotham. Maybe Gotham serial killer baggage won't like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-10 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Surprised, GK giggles. "Zoe, you're cruel, but that's somehow part of why I adore you. So we should go to Gotham? When do you want, tomorrow?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2013-03-10 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Aren't you too pretty for Gotham?" Her smirk lasted just long enough to cement the joke. Then on to the serious issue. "What about the neurotics? I don't want you blindsided. It's not worth it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-15 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm...not flush with confidence about being there, I'll admit it. But we need to think of something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The old guy is having too much fun jerking us around. I don't like somebody having more fun than me at my expense." A pebble landed with a decided ping in the wastebasket. "Maybe in Gotham nobody'll care if we get him in a corner and shoot a few answers out of him starting with his knee caps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2013-03-18 01:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Gunshots in Gotham will wake the neurotics," GK did observe. "And i this guy's done what we think he's done, he's a good shot himself." He shivered. (Reply to this)(Parent)
