[Times like these are Deadpool's least favorite. Right next to every Monday to ever exist. But these times especially sucked, because it'ss now that he's poor. Oh, sure, he'd just finished a big job, but he ended up spending all the cash he earned buying a shittonne of instruction guides on how to be a thief, titles ranging from "Stealing for Dummies" to "How To Get A Government Job." See, his logic is that spending money will earn you money.
That's never worked for us before.
That's because we usually lose all the money we gain, therefore never getting to spend it. Most likely this time it'll be the same - buying books that won't do us anygood.]
And that is why we're here! ...Where is it we are, anyway?
[ Gotham.
Gotham.]
Right. We're here because those books suck ass.
[Those books cost us all that you earned.]
Well, they sucked ass. But I know for a fact that there's someone in this loooovely city of Got-ham,
[ Gotham.
Gotham.]
-that's not what the travel guide said - that can maybe show us the ropes to thievery and earning more moola than we could ever dream of. All that's left is to find her. M'told her name's Catwoman.
[And how're we gonna find her?]
It's in the name. Catwoman. We're gonna leave catnip, tuna, and some of those little feather toys out and hope she finds her way to us.
[You ate all the tuna.
And the catnip.]
Not my brightest idea. But we still have the toys! We'll have the cat in the bag in no time.
[I get the sense this is going to backfire...]

26/1/14 05:14 (UTC)Actually, the plan ends up working out--or at least, the part with her finding her way to him. It's accidental, of course, and might be almost amusing another time, but when you're on your way to a quick little job and you come across a big costumed dude on the rooftop who's talking about you? It's not so much amusing as it is...kind of worrisome.
Thankfully she manages to keep quiet and duck behind a ledge before big dude catches any sign of her. If someone's looking for her and she's not sure why, it's likely that they're not someone she actually wants to be confronted by. At least, not without a little planning.
From behind her cover, Selina - aka Catwoman, naturally - listens in on... What is it, exactly? Some crazy guy having a conversation with himself? ...Not exactly new around Gotham, but the crazy ones are generally the more dangerous ones. Then again, she's fully capable of handling herself and while she's never seen this particular costume running around the city before, she figures she can probably take him if she has to. It might be smarter to just run, but hey. She's curious as to why he's looking for her.
It's just moments after he finishes talking to himself that she decides to just go for it and hope things don't get out of hand. Slipping up from her hiding place, she hops over it silently and takes a seat on it, crossing her legs and appearing entirely casual. Or, as casual as one can look in a catsuit. It's something she pulls of pretty well at this point, though.]
I heard something about toys. [Tipping her head slightly to one side, she peers out at him from behind her goggles, a little smirk sitting across her lips.] You looking for me?

26/1/14 05:29 (UTC)As soon as he turns to glance over, he's pretty sure he's smitten.
And it's only the fourth time today.]
You're Catwoman? I was expecting more 'meow' and less meee-ow, if you get what I'm sayin'.
[Bring on the cat puns.
Taking a moment, Deadpool looks her over and is pleased to find she doesn't really look all that dangerous. Saves him from having to use any of his weapons--you know, the two katana on his back, his twin sais, any daggers, either pistols, his submachine gun, and he can certainly lay off the hand grenades cause this girl is too pretty to blow up.]
I'm Deadpool - but you probably already know that. Y'know, I'm the guy who single-handedly beat all the X-men.
[Okay, so that was in a dream, but it's not like she knows that. ...He at least can annoy Wolverine enough to make the guy want to play dead for a few hours.
Or make us real dead. Forever.]

26/1/14 09:03 (UTC)Weapons are the first thing she sees - he's definitely packing, and she doesn't doubt that he has a few hidden from view. That and his size say it's better to avoid conflict with him if she can. She can handle her own, sure, she can take on big dudes by herself, but that doesn't mean she stands much of a chance against firearms in most cases.
As he speaks, her eyebrows raise in a show of being rather...unimpressed. But that doesn't stop the curious glint in her eye.]
The X-who? Sorry, never heard of 'em. Or you. [She's interested in seeing how he'll react to that, honestly, since he seems to expect her to be familiar with him...] I'm going to venture a guess and say that you're new to Gotham. Am I right?

26/1/14 17:12 (UTC)We tend to kick-start all the bad shit, and it just escalates from there.
--and that means she has no reason not to trust him and turn him into her thieving apprentice so they can work together for years to come and eventually fall in love and move out into a cottage in the middle of nowhere with seven little men!
--Wait no, Deadpool doesn't like that last part so much.
Cottages are weird.
But the seven little men aren't...?]
Shaddup. [He tells himself, then faces Catwoman again, an attempted "charming" smirk on his lips that makes him look like someone who has had a stroke,] Right you are. Since I'm new 'round here, I could definitely use a tour-guide, and you seem t'know your way around here pretty well, so... What d'you say, ah?
(no subject)
27/1/14 10:36 (UTC)He does get a weird look from her for telling himself to shut up nonetheless, and it holds as he...makes that face at her. Is it a smile? It looks a little...distorted, but she'll roll with it.]
I dunno... [Humming and hawing over it obviously, her head cants to the side again, putting on an appearance of considering it.] I'm not exactly the tour-guide type. Then again, I suppose it depends on what sort of tour you're looking for.
[Shooting him a pointed look, she raises an eyebrow.]
Considering you seem to know a thing or two about me, I don't suppose you're looking to see all the big tourist attractions, hm? So what are you hoping to see?
