Cast of Characters: Oracle, Quake, Buffy Summers, Shadow




Oracle has posed:
Easter is nearly here and thus, one Batgirl, one Babs, she's been getting into the spirit of things. Batgirl. Not Bunnygirl, that's a whole different thing, but she's been out collecting gifts either way and storing them in the Clocktower. Because that's what Gotham needs right now. A secret Easter Batgirl. No, really. Babs has that as her life's goal over the weekend, give all her friends and fllow Birds gifts...

Babs is fully on board with spring having sprung. She's invited her fellow Birds over to the clocktower for a get together. Mostly to just hang out and catch up. Totally nothing to do with the piles of gifts, nope!

Quake has posed:
Skye has been around less than usual. She has been finding where her mother has been hiding out. She still hasn't found her, but she has a clue. Today she has a weird invite from Barbara. Then again she has been out of the Birds for a bit. Probably just that. Right?

Just in case, Skye brings a cappuccino and some Italian donuts. "What's up? Oh, I bought you some goodies." She smirks.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Okaay, well, she's not a Bird of Prey herself, but Buffy was just out and about in the big city, going for a little walk when she glanced up at the clock tower and saw..Movement somewhere nearby. Eyes narrowed as she got that familiar feeling in the back of her mind. Demon? Somewhere nearby?

She doesn't hesitate for long, and steps into the large tower, quickly scaling the stairs. "I'm sure I saw something.." she mutters, but the higher she climbs, the more she wonders if it's already gone.

Either way, it seems those elevators will prevent a normal person from reaching the very top. With a sigh, she pauses and glances around, noticing that she's not alone in here. Well of course not. Hmm. She folds her arms, pondering how to get to the top without making a scene..

Oracle has posed:
Babs looks over to Skye with a grin, "Oh thank you!" she nods happily. "I've been looking for gifts for all my Birds" she nods looking over the clocktower. Pretty sure that was movement, though she's soon fixated again on thee gifts Skye brought. The top of a crate's worth of chocolate makes a good spot to put things, so Babs pats it. "Gifts go here, and there's a gift for each Bird scattered around heree somewhere..." she rails off. "You hear that movement? We're not alone" Babs adds and looks around...

"Come out, come out and nothing too bad will happen" Babs calls out. Like she's trying to lure Buffy out with promises of chocolate

Quake has posed:
"Well," Skye said, making herself at home, "I didn't bring extra coffee, but everyone is welcome to a treat. They're something something is Italian." She shrugs. Then she looks around and lights on Buffy. "Oh.. interesting."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers isn't exactly trying to hide, though she's surprised to see there is some sort of small gathering of people here, exchanging gifts and food apparently. With a shrug, she steps out into the light, peering at Barbara and Skye, shrugging casually and smiling. "Ooh. A party! Too bad I wasn't invited. Don't mind me, I was just looking around. You know, sightseeing.." she does peer upwards thoughtfully though, then back to the pair of young women.

Shadow has posed:
    "Invited, perhaps not," comes a voice from behind Buffy as Natasha steps out of an overlooked shadowy nook in the stairwell. "But miss Summers is a welcome guest regardless."

    Without further explaining how she got there or how she knows Buffy's name, Natasha saunters past the young woman and into the apartment, pausing only to hang up her coat. "Please, do come in. You have my word no one here means you harm."

    She nods at Barbara and Skye as she enters. "Barbara Gordon, Skye Johnson, I trust you've heard of Buffy Summers?"

Quake has posed:
"Right, you just believe that." Skye chuckles to herself. "How long should we give before we change her opinion?" To Buffy, "You wouldn't have been here if you weren't invited." But Natasha brings the end, and invites their guest formally. "Spoil sport," Skye grins.

She turns to Buffy, "I would be Skye. Hi."

Oracle has posed:
"Indeed, please do come on in, since you've made yourself at home, it's an example for all of us" Babs smiles. "Buffy....Buffy. I'e come across her name when I've looked at the student records that Gotham University put out online" she offers and makes to wave them into her apartment. THey're heading in, the gifts are most definitely scattered around the clocktower. Mini scavenger hunt of sorts.

"It's good to see you again" Babs nods to Natasha "How've you been keeping yourself?" she asks, "And Miss Buffy Summers, please, do come on in. Nobody'll hurt you here" she says cheerfully.

Mostly since it's a toss up between Babs and Natasha over who is the most lethal given Barbara's got access to her computers, and Natasha's just....Natasha...though Skye's every bit as dangerous and the Birds all in one place make a formidable team.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a curious brow at Natasha, darting back quickly. woah, where'd she come from? It's nto usually that easy to sneak up on Buffy afterall. "Waaaait a minute..How'd you know my name? Have we met?" she smirks, "I kinda figured I'd remember that.."

Glancing at Barbara she smiles and nods. "Oh hey, again..How'd your little date go with that toher guy?" she nods, "That's right, I go to school at Gtoham U. Ran into you when I was searching for a professor's office."

Towards Skye she grins and nods, "Nice to meet you. Soo what's this all about, a little picnic in the middle of a clocktower?"

Oracle has posed:
Oh, Buffy did not bring that up to the Birds. Somebody's gonna get payback on the Slayer. "Next question" Babs says quickly wanting to avoid the subject of hey,wait, who is Babs dating? See, Babs has an image to maintain. Dating people is not conducive to that. She looks around to each in turn and loooks to Buffy. "I could ask you the same question but that'd be mean. Either way, please, take a seat, can I get you all anything?" Babs asks willing to play gracious hosttess to her Birds andd a Slayer who wants to spill the beans on the fact Babs has a special someone.....and she's not told her father yet. Yikes, Buffy

Quake has posed:
"I go away, and this is my payment!" Skye takes a donut from the bag, and offers it around. "Sooo, who is the noob?" She grins.

Shadow has posed:
    Natasha merely smiles at the Slayer's question, then turns to Barbara as if she hadn't heard it. "Tea would be lovely, thank you... And what's this I hear about a date?" she adds, a slightly mischievous quirk on her lips as she sits down in her favourite chair. "Skye, good to see you again as well. Have you been writing your parents?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers seems amused by Barbara's response. Okay, looks like she wants to keep this a secret, for whatever reason. "Next Question? Soo, who are you guys? This just a little study buddy group or what"

As for who she is, Buffy just chuckles. So they think she's just a college student at Gotham U? That's just fine with her. "Heh, too bad i'm not a bird. A scavenger hunt sounds kinda fun.."

As for a noob, Buffy just chuckles, "Depends on your definition of noob!"

Oracle has posed:
"Tea it is" Babs nods looking amused. Oh yes she wants to keep her love life a secret from this lot and prove there is something the Shadow doesn't actually know. Hey if the roles were reversed Barbara would be in Natasha's position wanting to know all the juicy details too, fair's fair.

Disappearing into the kitchen, Barbara calls over her shoulder to check if anyone else wants drinks, and sets about making tea for Natasha, and is waiting to hear what other people want.

"I've got some of those oatmeal biscuits if you'd like? Barbara offers. They're just....sitting there really, and Barbara's not about to eat them herself, so...

Quake has posed:
Skye shrugs. "My father is well enough. And my mother has just invited me over." Snerk. Her father is under SHIELD "protection", and she'd finally pinpointed her mother. At least she has a place to look. "Thanks for asking."

As for the otherâ?¦

"Well, if you turned up to my job it would be quite different. Nah, what are you." Not who. What.

Shadow has posed:
    Natasha chuckles. "Has your family never had acquaintances over for Easter?" she asks Buffy, one eyebrow raised as she leans back. "We'd run across one another some while back, and I try to take the time to keep in touch as and when I can..."

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers oohs, "I'd love a cup of tea! Still don't know who you are though, or why you know my name. Care to shed some light on the matter?" she still peers at Natasha intently, still trying to pinpoint where -or if - she's actually met her before, somewhere..

She peers after Barbara as she disappears into the kitchen, "Ooh, I love oatmeal cookies!" still, she's a more or less stranger here and she feels like she just invited herself in..Although that brings her back to Natasha, pausing thoughtfully, "Family over for Easter? Uh...Doesn't ring a bell..."

And that leaves Buffy mulling over that for a while..Except for when Skye catches her attention, and she quirks a brow at her, smiling a little "What am I? What a question. Well..I'm human, more or less. A college student." she grins, and just leaves it there.

Oracle has posed:
Babs pricks her ears up at Buffy's insisting she loves oatmeal cookies. Hey, why not? Babs plates up all the cookies she can find out of the package, and brings the cookies out.

"You love oatmeal cookies? Here you go" Barbra nods setting the cookies down for everyone. "Tea's brewing. So. Since Natasha took her favorite chair, and we did say make yourself at home..." Babs nods looking pleased, looking around as if stalling for time. With that done she gets up...

Ducking out of the apartment she comes back with boxes neatly wrapped up and she sets the boxes down. Easter Eggs along with a bag of chocolates. She's got one for Skye and Natasha and because she feels bad for leaving Buffy out, Babs settles back in. Hmm....what to get a Buffy?

Quake has posed:
"And..." Skye insists. She looks at Natasha and Babs, "What? Someone had to do it."

Shadow has posed:
    "My parents named me Natasha," Natasha replies to Buffy with an enigmatic smile. "I suppose I'm a businesswoman, of sorts."

    She looks up and smiles at Barbara as she accepts the box. "That's lovely, Barbara. Thank you."

Oracle has posed:
Barbara nods, taking a pastry. "I'll take one while the tea brews" she nods looking glad Skye brought the snacks, though she doesn't head to the kitchen. Instead she holds out a neatly wrapped box to Skye once Babs is back in the apartment. The fun of leaving gifts all over her clocktower. It's the same idea as Nat's gift. it's an Easter egg, chocolate and with a bag of chocolate with it too.

Quake has posed:
She takes the brightly brilliant from Barbara, and *blinks blinks*. "Uhm?" She really does not do presents graciously. "What's the deal?" Then, quietly, "Thanks."

Oracle has posed:
Babs smiles. "It's Easter, welll, nearly but I need to make tea, so" Babs nods looking amused. "Talk among yourselves, or....whatever it is you do" she says and heads for the kitchen losing herself in the whole simple task of making tea. Simple things are good. That's how she's whiling away time.
