INTRO:

God, that's a lot of people...

Well, of course that's a lot of people, Bruce, it's the Wayne Gala, Gotham's most anticipated vanity fair and Batman's most dreaded night. Because he can't be Batman tonight, no, gotta wear the tux, sip the kiddy champagne and pretend it's Prosecco, talk to the elites...

"Hm." Bruce grunts, hiding behind his flute. Kiddy champagne dammit.

But oh, how oblivious is the crowd, they're all happy to just be eating out of the Waynes' pocket. The man of the house, looking slick and crisp, like a Hollywood's star, puts on his 'Brucie' mask immediately. Gotta go talk, everyone is here: the Mayor, the Chief of Police, every half-assed corrupted dirtbag from the City Hall... journalists.

"Bruce!"

"Ah, there he is, the man of the hour!"

"Bruce, come here!"

That and much more he'll be hearing all evening. But Batman wouldn't be Batman, if he wasn't adaptive. Brucie boy slips into the conversation and very persuadingly pretends that it's actually interesting.

On the other side of the Main Hall, Dick is forced to drag Jason out of a 'heated' conversation with the chairman of the City Hall. Unlike Bruce, Jason doesn't have a No-Drink rule—same as he doesn't have a No-Kill rule too—and Bruce seems to feel that through the air, in a spike of migraine. Dick successfully throws a dozen 'sorry', hauling his grumbling, champ-gulping brother off to the side.

Tim is on the third floor of the atrium, overlooking the crowd below, mostly just staring into his phone. Of course, though, he is regularly pestered by everyone passing by. Sole proprietor of Drake Industries just stuck in his phone—one older socialite even threw the classic 'kids these days', to which Tim just flipped him off.

Steph is in a stupid-ass drinking contest, actually Jason dared her earlier this evening. Duke is trying his honest
