Tiny Bat Log

Who: Nadja, OTA
When: After her hissy fit on Anita's post
Where: All over!
What: Nadja goes bat rather than be tempted to rip people apart for the week

Nadja is 700 years old! She doesn't need to be scolded like some child, in public, by a vampire in defense of a vampire hunter!

Doubting that if she sticks around she will say anything productive or kind, she shuts off her communicator, resists the urge to hurl it against the wall...and transforms into a bat.

Bats do not have the same problems human-forms do, and she can relax and take flight, albeit one that's janky and less magical than she would have liked.

She mostly flies to her husband's shoulder, but when she's not with Laszlo, she can be found roosting in the common, open areas of the ship. The laws of invitation prevent her from going into cabins, but she can be found lurking in the eves of the library and even the elevator shafts where repair work is set to take place.

"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT," yells Quentin, who was not expecting there to be a bat just there, Jesus Christ!

He drops his flashlight and does a pretty good job of nearly toppling off his ladder.

How fast can a man get down a fifteen foot ladder?

Pretty fucking fast, it turns out. He is not paid enough for this bullshit.

Lately, when he's not at home in Nadja's cabin, Laszlo can be found in one of two places—the library or the greenhouse, with the latter location being where he is presently, clipping away at his latest topiary when suddenly a bat lands on his shoulder.

He blinks a little, but is otherwise unperturbed. "Hello, my darling."

He understands Nadja's need to snuggle, having heard about the fight with Godric and the fucking vampire slayer, although he definitely hadn't been inclined to draw her attention to himself on the network. Self-preservation is strong with this one, relatively powerless as he is.

"This, my love, is going to be a giant penis since my co-worker hates vulvas so much. A Tribute To Larry, I shall call it, which is fitting with him being a colossal dickhead and all."
laszlo: (interesting)

[personal profile] laszlo 2021-03-04 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
She's welcome to hang out on Laszlo's shoulder for as long as she likes, like a parrot with a pirate! Only bat and gardener. At least he has clipping shears while he's in here, which is better than no weapon at all.

And he has an idea!

"When I'm finished with this, how about if you and I indulge in some sexual intercourse of the Scrotifera Chiroptera variety, hm?" Bat sex in other words, wink wink.

Thomas hears a sound above him when he's reading in the library and looks up. When he sees a bat, he assumes it's one of the vampires. They turn into bats, apparently.

"Are you all right?"

"All right. Do you want, er, a book to read? I could fetch something." Though he has no idea how she'd turn the pages.

"That's a no, I'm guessing. Well, have fun in the ceiling, I guess." He goes back to reading.

Iris picked a room on this level because she's a fast reader, so she's in and out of the library pretty often. After the conversation with Anita, she could do with some comfortable escapism herself, so she comes in to find Tales of the City for a nice warm fuzzy reread.

She looks up when she hears the tiny bat noise, and when she sees who it is, she blows Nadja a kiss.

"Are you as soft as you look?"

It's the first time Iris has seen Nadja batformed, and she burns with curiosity and tenderness.

She's so tiny, and the little pug face is somehow, bizarrely, still Nadja. Iris smiles and turns her head. The tiny body seems too delicate to touch with her fingers, so instead she brushes her lips along the top of Nadja's head and down her little furry back.

"That's the most adorable thing I've seen all year. I don't often get to feel this big and strong."

Connor happens to notice the bat in one of the common areas. Is it a bat or... a per..son...? 

Regardless, he prepared something in case he happened to see a bat again. He quietly disappears and re-emerges with something for bats to roost on. Bats need a safe place to perch. Perhaps putting roosts up around The Barge would be a good idea?

But it's best to ask the bat first. Connor holds it out for them to examine. "What's your opinion?"

Nesting is a good sign, but is she nesting happily? He can't tell.

Connor explains: "These are specifically for bats. If I hang them around The Barge, you could perch anywhere safely."

Connor climbs on top of a nearby chair (precariously) and hangs the perch up high. There you go little bat. A place just for you.

He touches her nose with a finger. "Do you like it?"
