Riddle 031: Cats Always Land On Their Feet

[A: ACTION. The Kitchen of 726 Anderson Lane.

Well, that was probably the worst way to come off of a droning ever. Those of you who are still awake, you'll probably hear the Riddler rummaging about in the refrigerator. He finally emerges from it with a small bag of frozen peas, which he'll be placing over that black eye of his.]

[B: ACTION. Edward's personal study at 726 Anderson Lane.

Looks like Edward's gotten a package while he was out of it. Peeking into the box, he can see a bit of leather... It's a familiar violet catsuit, complete with a long tail, a mask with whiskers and ears, and a 12-foot long whip. No. No, there's no way they would seriously send this to him. Is this Mayfield's idea of a joke?]

[C: PHONE. (Filtered from Drones)]


Here's a question for you, Mayfield.

"What flies without wings?"

Answer: Time. Strange how it doesn't seem to fly at all when you've been droned. One second, it's the middle of July, then before you even realize it, it's August. What all have I missed, hmm? Any theories on what they'll throw at us this month?

[D. Then, he'll filter the call yet again, to Harley, Ivy, and Crane.]

Question: Is it uncommon for someone to regain something that doesn't belong to them?

[E: ACTION. Legion of Doom Headquarters.

Well, he's not going to try on Selina's catsuit yet, but that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun anyway. Eddie's hand curls around the grip of Catwoman's braided, leather bullwhip. Having set up a few cans around the long conference table, he'll crack the whip at them several times to see how many he'll be able to knock down.]

As does yours.

[i know you are but what am i?}

Nice to see you've already begun to make yourself at home.

[Dist huffs up, rustling his collar.]

My face is impeccable. I make sure to look my best. You look like you down a stairwell made of fists.

Besides, I may as well familiarize myself.

[Eddie glowers at Dist for a moment before changing the subject.]

I trust the weapons locker is to your liking?

[Diversion: successful.]

All that remains is filling it with my own ingenious creations. Excellent work.

We aim to please.

[A sardonic sneer.]

On a related note, perhaps our security systems could do with a bit of touching up.

Once I know what precisely we're defending against, I can fix this place up in a month flat. Though, the lack of fonon frequencies will provide problems... nothing I can't work around, of course.

The sooner you've made your modifications, the better. We're going to need to prepare for virtually anything this town might toss our way.

What this town tosses at us is droning. Complete control. It may take me a while to guard against that.
