A Little Change
Date of Scene: 16 October 2021
Location: Batcave
Synopsis: Selina feels compelled to debut a new costume, to Bruce's approval; but prompts a question she's not ready to engage with yet.
Cast of Characters: Selina Kyle, Bruce Wayne




Selina Kyle has posed:
    Selina's taking too long.

    Mind you, Selina usually does things at her own pace, but she generally doesn't make people palpably feel like they're *waiting.*

    Unless, of course, she's trying to build up anticipation.

    She is, however, just in the changing station nearby in the Batcave. The Batmobile's all warmed up, everything's ready to go for the night, except Selina.

    "You ever have something for, say, a *decade*..." she calls out, "... and suddenly all at once you just have to get rid of it?"

Bruce Wayne has posed:
"Selina ... "

Bruce's tone is one that she would be very familiar with. A deep and even tenor that expresses frustration without actually letting the sound of it tinge into any of the words. The Batmobile, reconfigured with a passenger seat, sits in the center of its dais with the hatch wide open. Batman himself sits in the driver's seat, hand resting on the wheel.

He is, suffice it to say, not at all used to having to wait like this.

He breathes through his teeth, turning to look in the direction Selina's voice is coming from but offering nothing more in way of an answer.

Selina Kyle has posed:
    "It just creeps up on you!" she says, asthough Bruce had agreed, or even replied. "And then all at once..."

    Selina finally pulls the curtain open, and purrs:

    "It's time for a change~"

    And change she has! Every part of her costume is different now, with no vestiges of the all-black outfit left behind. Instead - posing a bit with her hands on the bar above her as she steps partway out of the booth - she's clad mostly in a striking gray-silver that compiments the body of Batman's costume. Without goggles in place, Selina's cowl now covers her face with a mask with angular cuts around her green eyes, with the 'face' of her mask colored black; along with long black opera gloves on her arms, a segmented yellow-belt around her hips, and relatively short black boots with - of course- relatively high sharp heels. They are, at least, shorter than her last costume.

    She saunters over to the Batmobile - because of course she does - and gives a little twirl before leaning forward with her hands on the door of Batman's side of the vehicle. "What do you think?~"

Bruce Wayne has posed:
Bruce watches the impromptu fashion parade to show off Selina's new costume. Rather than stare at the array of feeds and diagnostic information displayed before him on Batmobile's dashboard, his attention turns fully towards the woman he's loved for such a long time but only recently come to admit it to anyone - including himself.

"Looks familiar," he suggests, hearkening back to decades past with rooftop chases and white-hot claws, "I like it."

He looks up at her from the driver's seat, extending a finger to point to her chest in what might seem blatantly suggestive until he speaks.

"Missing a bat symbol. Or aren't we there yet?"

Selina Kyle has posed:
    Catwoman grins broadly, clearly pleased. As brief as the praise was, she figures at this point that getting that much out of someone as strict and composed as Bruce Wayne - when he means to be working - is roughly the equivalent of him stomping and clapping like a cartoon wolf, in her eyes. True, in the earliest days she wore a passingly similar costume in Royal Purple, but... that color's... kind of been... ruined for her, a little a bit.

    "Meow~" she remarks merrily at the praise, though her brow raises with surprise at Batman's question. There's subtly a lot to unpack there, and Selina works hard for a moment to make sure most of it stays in the box where it can't make her think too hard right now. Instead, the moment of surprise passes, and a slow smirk comes to Selina's face as she dips downward, propping her head up with one arm on the front of the Batmobile. "Hmmmmmm, I don't know if I'm looking to shake things up *that* mmuch." She says with a twitch at the corner of her lips, purring, "You haven't wrestled the Cat out of me just yet."

    Then, as casually as one might take a step, Selina vaults over the front of the Batmobile, sliding across the last few inches before landing on the passanger side door, where she takes her seat. "You're getting a little greedy," she remarks, before planting a brief kiss on Bruce's jaw, and adding, "I kinda like it~"

Bruce Wayne has posed:
The corner of Bruce's mouth quirks into a half-smile at the kiss, though that's the only reaction he gives. With Selina safely in her seat, the hatch closes around them, and the dull red running lights illuminate the dark space around them. External cameras reveal the cave in perfect detail before them, as the Batcomputer's AI feeds through weather and GPS data.

"Well, maybe I'm prone to a little change myself."

That said, the car roars to life. The dais rotates to face one of a number of exit tunnels and then takes off into the night - carrying the pair with it.
