the trials and tribulations of maps mizoguchi
“But I’m already a student at Gotham Academy! And I don’t think my parents would want me to transfer.
But I could totally use this as like… volunteer hours!!“
“Weeeeell… I’m 14, but I’ve got lots of experience!”
Do you guys need a mapmaker?
“Oh! Good! You’re alive. You looked kinda dead there.”
Crouches down and gently pokes his head with a stick.
Ooooh, really?
You don’t seem so sure.
Where ya going?
BEST. HOLIDAY. EVER!!!
“No no no I totally think she’s cool! And you’re sooo right!! I just didn’t think you took to superheroes that much, Mr. Wayne.” She giggled. “Do you study them or something?”
“Wait, really?” Maps perks up with interest. “How come?”
“That’s truuue… I was thinking it might look nice for Batman though if you do the logo in yellow? Since yellow and purple are complimentary colors… oh WAIT! THAT’S why Batgirl’s costume looks like that!! Ahah, I guess I’d look like her, huh? Any other colors might look too weird for a bat suit…”
// I can’t believe I almost missed this oh my god. WE’RE SO BACK
“I think it’s a GREAT idea! It would offset the yellow REALLY well!!” She excitedly jotted a few things down, then looked up to ask… “What about purple?”
“Woah!! That’s a lot of places. Do you travel a lot?”
“Ohhh, that makes sense. Where are you from?”
“WOOOOO! What’re your plans??”
“No? Why not?”
“It’s almost Halloween!!! Aren’t you excited?!”
// sorry that took so long my memory problems beat my ass
Her eyes lit up at the advice. She quickly fumbled slipping one shoulder of her backpack off and grasping a well loved notebook and pencil inside, quickly jotting down his ideas. “Add… a clasp…”
“OOH!” She looked back up at him. “Blue! Now THERE’S an idea! How d’you know so much about fashion?”
“You bet it is!!” She beamed. “SO glad they let us wear costumes, even if it’s only on one day of the year. The other people dressing as Batman will have trouble topping ME.” She smirked proudly.
“Have any suggestions, Mr. Wayne? Should I go all black? Or maybe some grey?”
She leapt ten feet into the air.
“AAH!”
She took a breath and rubbed the back of her head nervously.
“Hahah, sorry Mr. Wayne. Didn’t see you. Usually there’s an announcement when you’re visiting the Academy.”
“Gotta work on my Halloween costume! …..NO I’m not gonna be a Robin again this year! …I’m gonna be Batman.”
“Oh, this? I’m workin’ on a coloring page of Killer Croc. Heh.”
// just happy stimmed for the sole reason of batman being cool…… maps mizoguchi is slowly coming back to me
“Imagine being a hologram! You wouldn’t be able to get hurt! But then again, you wouldn’t be able to touch anything. What a payoff, huh?”
Maps sat down at a table outside with a breakfast tray.
“Mmm. This school’s waffle bar is DIVINE.”
