Time to work on your cat call--

[luckyspots]

Characters: Ladybug and YOU
Date: August 1st
Location: All throughout the city
Situation: Now that she knows Adrien is safe-- the bug is on a hunt for her actual cat friend.
Warnings/Rating: None, G


It was still early in the afternoon when she appeared-- a strange girl clad in a red spandex suit speckled with black spots. Her upper face was hidden by a matching mask; black hair pulled back with trailing red ribbon ties. There's a yo-yo attached at her hip-- a tool that she uses to help her propel between buildings. She's not particularly keeping out of sight. Instead, she seems more concerned with covering more space.

When she stops-- and she's stopped in a number of different places in her search-- she's quick to address anyone who will listen and in fact, her inquiries explain certain aspects of her behavior.

"Excuse me... I'm looking for someone. I was wondering if you might have seen him. He's about this tall, blonde hair-- he's dressed like a black cat..." Trust me. She knows how weird that sounds. But right now she's honestly grateful for how much he'd stand out.

This person is, it would seem, the cause of her concern. She's trying not to seem it, but the truth is she feels anxious to find him. She'd already waited longer than she should have. If something happened then she would feel personally responsible. She never should have abandoned him this long knowing what had been going on the last few days.

Or if she doesn't approach you specifically you might have seen her travelling the rooftops only to land and check her yo-yo... It seems to fip open to something with a strange display, similar to a tracking device. In the process however, it's not entirely unlikely she might bump into you quite literally.

Danny blinks... at the sight of another teenager running around the rooftops in a colorful costume. He wondered if that meant another teen superhero had arrived. After meeting Chat he'd started to get used to the idea that he wasn't the only one out here doing this, but it still caught him by surprise.

At the question he floats down to about her eye level to make talking easier.

"You talking about Chat Noir? Guy in a cat costume, great taste in witty banter?"

[luckyspots]

It's a little bit of a surprise for her too-- seeing someone else she doesn't know. And he's floating too. Under different circumstances she might have liked to ask him some questions about himself first, but right now she still has a stray cat to find-- and he might be able to help her.

"That's right-- he's my partner."

Although she'd like to say that she has some doubts about the 'great taste in witty banter' part, the truth is that she misses it.

But only a little bit.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny blinks... and suddenly remembers Chat's very long description of just how wonderful his partner was.

Danny was about as clueless as you could get when it came to relationships, but when a crush was that obvious, even he could catch on.

He grins cheerfully at her.

"Oh, so you're that partner. Ladybug, right? He might have mentioned you. Once or twice."

[luckyspots]

"I'm the only one he has-- so he's stuck with me."

Although with the way she acts it probably sounds more like it's the other way around.

"But I haven't been able to find him since I got here-- so I'm not too sure what's going on with him." And that bothers her. "So, are you a friend of his?"

[schrodingersghost]

"I guess you could say that. We've run into each other on patrols a few times." He grins suddenly. "You could say a black cat crossed my path."

[luckyspots]

She tried not to laugh. She really did. But there it was. "...I can see why you two get along."

[schrodingersghost]

"What, the similarly excellent tastes in humor?"

[luckyspots]

"That's one way to put it."

[schrodingersghost]

"Is there another way to put it?"

[luckyspots]

"I would say those puns of his could use some work."

Not him-- just her partner. It's too early to really judge this one yet.

[schrodingersghost]

"Well obviously. If you're going to use witty banter as a valid combat strategy, you need to practice all the time."

[luckyspots]

"Oh now I know he's doing it wrong. Unless he's planning on facing off against a woman who'd be swayed by those kinds of things."

Someone still doesn't realize she's the only one who he's legitimately hitting on.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny stares blankly at her.

"Uh, I have no idea what that was supposed to mean."

[luckyspots]

She chuckles. "What I mean is-- he uses them in his pick up lines. Bad ones."

[schrodingersghost]

He blinks again. "Uh, okay then?" Chat, you just got ten times dorkier.

"One question. Does it work?"

[luckyspots]

"Oh I'm sure it works for some girls." Despite his quirks, it was surprisingly easy to imagine girls saying yes to Chat Noir. "Although I'm proof it doesn't work on all girls."

[schrodingersghost]

"Wait, so he uses lines on you all the time?"

[luckyspots]

"Oh yeah-- he tries."

[schrodingersghost]

"I'm detecting a certain lack of success."

[luckyspots]

"Of course. Besides... it's not like he's serious about it. That's just how he is."

She doesn't believe for a minute that Chat Noir has any special interest in her. Not like that anyway. They're partners. Friends, even, in a strange sort of way-- nothing more.

[schrodingersghost]

Okay then. Danny makes a note to talk to Chat about this some time. He was pretty sure he was missing something.

"So... you two been working together long?"

[luckyspots]

"Yeah, for a while now. He's been there with me ever since I started doing the whole superhero thing."

Honestly, she couldn't have done it without him, especially when she'd just started.

[schrodingersghost]

"I think he told me something about that. Must be nice, running into a partner that soon."
