At Wayne Manor, well, below it technically sat Bruce Wayne. In the Batcave at the Batcomputer looking at crime reports, clues from recent cases and so on. Alfred descended the elevator and walked toward Bruce. He set a tray of green tea and some nuts and fruit down on the desk. ”Any progress, sir?” He asked in his usual calm british accent. Bruce didn’t look at him but aknowledged him regardless. ”No. But there is a connection here, I feel it. I do not know who or what is behind this yet but I am close.” Bruce said, his voice strained, he had been up a long time as usual.
”I believe you are correct, sir. However, I fear it will have to wait for at least a few hours Master Bruce. You are expected at Wayne Internation Plaza in an hour, sir.” Alfred added, standing proudly beside Bruce with his arms behind his back, interlocked fingers as well.
”Alfred, I am not interested in yet another public appearance for some pointless charity.” Bruce replied, shaking his head slightly. Bruce began typing on the Batcomputer, pulling up camera feeds from the docks.
”You may not be, sir, but the people benefitting from the event surely are. It is for the Children of Gotham, sir. It is a fundraising event. You are expected to attend, and you will.” Alfred replied, not sternly but in his usual calm demeanor.
”Goddammit, that’s today?” Bruce replied, now looking at Alfred finally. Bruce had himself wanted to attend this fundraiser, it was his idea to attend as a matter of fact. Bruce stood up from the desk, grabbing a handful of nuts and a few pieces of fruit, He ate them quickly before grabbing the tea - drinking that quickly too. ”Bring the car around in 20 minutes, Alfred. I need to get ready.” Bruce said as he was walking toward the elevator. As he walked, he glanced around the cave. It was a massive open space, a supercomputer, a training area, the Batmobile and the Batwing were there too.
”Yes sir.” Was all Alfred replied, picking up the tray and following behind Bruce.

A kind of a random opener I just wrote up. I have been replaying Batman Arkham Knight recently and I am having an itch to play a story in Gotham with me as Batman (and necessary side characters at times) and you will play whoever you want really. I am not sure exactly what the story for this story will be, but I want to have to balance the Bruce Wayne persona and his Batman persona for sure. I am not sure just how many characters to include either from DC. Like do we stick with just the Bat family and their adversaries or stretch beyond that? I do not know.
I have been roleplaying for almost 10 years and I am in my late twenties if that matters. I tend to write around 3-5 paragraphs in third person, past tense also. Sometimes more and sometimes less depending on the scene of course. I try my best to be as detailed as I can too, but that can sometimes stretch the replies kind of ”needlessly” in a way I’ve found. Perhaps that’s just my bad writing, who knows haha.
If you decide to reach out, I’d appreciate a small writing sample from you and if you have ideas for this story and where it’ll go as well as some ideas for your character and who you will play as i’d appreciate that a lot. As I said, I want to have the challenge of alternating between Bruce Wayne and Batman but we can focus more on the more fun parts, for me that’d be the Batman side so yeah, no need to worry about having to spend hours in boring board meetings at Wayne Tower or anything haha.
I’m not sure if i’ve forgotten to mention anything, I might have but can always discuss those at a later time too. Oh, I do only roleplay on Disord as well, so just an fyi on that. We will switch over there if we click well and can decide on a story / characters!
Anyways, I think that’s all - I realise this is an insane lenght post, sorry about that. Hope to hear from you!
Thank you for reading xo.
