Since Sarah stores her God Arc in the Academy, she comes over pretty much daily. Maintenance for the day is done, so she's grabbed a chair from inside and set it up besides the table.

"Any takers so far?"

[istotesbatgirl]

No one. Just you and me and Phantom Girl wherever she is. Do you think I gave out enough flyers?

[Misfit has been posting recruitment flyers on any available surface for the past month. They are on almost every surface in the city.]

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"I think you achieved total saturation with those flyers."

A slight pause as she considers something.

"If we don't get anyone, I'll see what I can do as well."

[istotesbatgirl]

Thanks Sarah, I'd really appreciate it.

[Misfit gets a sneaky smile on her face.]

So, guess who I met when the pixies kidnapped us?

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah already knows, of course, but she'll play dumb.

"Who?"

[istotesbatgirl]

I met Shura, she seems really cool.

Hey does she have powers? She could join! Once she's out of the chair, I mean.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah thinks about that for a bit.

"...she's at least as strong as I am, and she's been here for quite a while, too...it might be worth it to ask her, yeah..."

[istotesbatgirl]

Cool, Could you ask her next time you see her? I'll message her too, but I bet she'd definitely join if both of us asked her.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

An involuntary snort of laughter escapes from Sarah at Misfit's question.

"You're making it sound like she's someone I run into from time to time instead of someone living in my house."

[istotesbatgirl]

I didn't say it was going to be a long time until you saw her.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"It was still kind of funny, though."

Sarah smiles.

"Thanks for helping her out. Don't tell her, but I worry."

[istotesbatgirl]

[Now it's Misfit's turn to tease Sarah.]

Awwwww. That's adorable.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

A lazy shrug.

"I'm the leader of the Retaliation Squad. Worrying about my team is part of my job."

She'll just reach over and pat Misfit's shoulder as she says that.

[istotesbatgirl]

I am glad you're watching out for me. I can't think of anyone in the city I'd rather have watching my back.

[Berserker arrives clad in her usual attire - a wedding dress with purple velvet trim, and carrying a huge mace. Her red hair hangs down over her eyes, obscuring most of her face except for her mouth, which is currently twisted into an expression somewhere half between curiosity and wariness. She's looking around for Sarah first and foremost, but expects to see Misfit here too, despite not knowing what the girl looks like just yet.]

[istotesbatgirl]

[Seeing, a new face in the academy Misfit approaches.]

Welcome to the Knight Academy and to Birds of Prey sign ups. I'm Misfit how can I help you?

[frankensteins_moe]

[The COMP visor comes down over Berserker's head as she leans over to type something into the watch attachment. Misfit should be receiving the message momentarily.]

i'm berserker

[istotesbatgirl]

Right, we talked over the network.

Do you not speak? It's totally okay if you don't.

[frankensteins_moe]

[In response, she simply shakes her head 'no.']

[istotesbatgirl]

We can make due. Do you want to talk over the network or would it be better for me to get you a pen and some paper?

[Misfit is trying to be as nice as she possibly can to Berserker.]

[frankensteins_moe]

[Typing again...]

the network is faster
i apologize for the inconvenience

[istotesbatgirl]

It's alright. Now do you want to tell me what's going on?

[frankensteins_moe]

what's going on with what

[istotesbatgirl]

When we spoke before, you said you were having a problem. So what's going on with that?

[frankensteins_moe]

desco is going to help me
thank you for telling me about her

[istotesbatgirl]

Glad I could help.

Now that that's fixed want a tour of the facility?

[frankensteins_moe]

[Berserker nods again, because why type more text when a simple gesture will do.]

[istotesbatgirl]

Cool, Come on.

[Overenthusiastic as always, Misfit grabs Berserker's hand and begins leading her further into the building.]

Apparently this is the Knight Academy and it belonged to someone who left town. So I picked it up and now I'm based here.

[frankensteins_moe]

[oh god human contact what is this aaaa

or rather, she is inwardly panicking while outwardly linefacing, and holding her mace with the other hand as she follows along]

[istotesbatgirl]

[Misfit is completely oblivious to any discomfort Berserker might be experiencing.]

This is the main hall. Ideally I'm going to get a receptionist in here to help us with all the calls we're sure to get. Right now I just have a folding table and my donation bucket. I'm collecting donations to build a batsignal. It's a light that will shine in the sky to tell us when there's trouble...

[Misfit is going to keep telling Berserker about the base until she is interrupted.]

[frankensteins_moe]

[Unfortunate, then, that she can't talk. But she's interested in this place, so she'll listen.]

[istotesbatgirl]

[After about ten minutes of exploring mostly empty rooms, all of which Misfit has big plans for, the tour ends.]

That's the building. What do you think?

[Misfit is clearly nervous waiting for a response.]

[frankensteins_moe]

[Down comes the visor, and Berserker types a response.]

it's still very empty
but it sounds like you have a lot of ideas
so that's good

[istotesbatgirl]

I'm glad you think they're good ideas. Still if we want to achieve them we'll need more people, so do you want to join us?

You don't have to fight if you don't want to. You could be support.

[frankensteins_moe]

fighting is all i know how to do

[istotesbatgirl]

I figured you could fight.

[Misfit puts her hand on Berserker's shoulder.]

I just wanted to make sure you wanted to fight. It's your choice.

[frankensteins_moe]

[She pauses for a moment out of surprise. And if those bangs weren't in the way, her eyes would be showing it. But after a moment, she nods.]

[istotesbatgirl]

[Unlike Berserker, Misfit is bad at hiding her emotions. When Berserker nods, Misfit jumps into the air with a huge grin on her face.]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I'm so happy you joined us. It's gonna be great here.

[frankensteins_moe]

what exactly do we do here again

[istotesbatgirl]

We help the city by stopping crime and demon attacks. Basically we protect the people of the city from danger.

[frankensteins_moe]

i thought everyone was expected to do that

[istotesbatgirl]

I guess. But I thought it would be better if we organized. Some of the demons can be really tough.

[frankensteins_moe]

strength in numbers
i understand

[istotesbatgirl]

Now you're getting it. Plus being more organized against the bad guys would be really useful.

Once we get a strategist we'll be good to go.

[frankensteins_moe]

let me know what you need me to do when the time comes then
