It’s been long enough for Roroanoak to turn his collection of diamond chunks and shards into tools- and those tools into more advanced tools. In fact, he’s discovered that things left out in the snow also turn into diamond, and he’s used this discovery to his advantage.

It’s odd, how such a strange event could bring him back to his younger days. The days of roaming the countryside as a fledgling, living off the land as a nomad does. He’s crafted makeshift diamond weapons earlier- but these proved too fragile to absorb the impact of his attacks. Having made another Halberd from stronger wood and leaving it outside over night, it’s hardened into a diamond coated polearm- a weapon fit for him. Wrapping the grips in leather and cloth, he leans on it as a hermit might use a walking stick.

He turns his head, long cloak flapping lightly in the wind. Across his back is slung a makeshift sack or two, one holding a makeshift pickax and the other empty for now. Over one shoulder is a bow, partially diamond coated for added strength, while the other hosts a large quiver of diamond coated javelins. Under his cloak is a quiver attached to his thigh, holding diamond tipped arrows. His other thigh holds diamond coated knives for throwing and utility. Such armament must look odd, being both primitive and obvious, but Roro had become less of a pacifist and more of a hunter. He glances at this odd man.

“Perhaps a few weeks now. No- perhaps a month? Forgive me, the time here passes at odd intervals.” He blinks, examining the man. The bat-like shape of his cowl and cloak was obvious, to include the symbology on his chest. Some sort of hero, like that small child a while ago he’d guess. That Robin kid. Or that Booster Gold man he’d heard about. So many superheros around… “I can tell you more about the variety of creatures that inhabit the land now, however. They’ve become more bold than they usually are. They never leave the Mistwood, but it seems due to outstanding circumstances, they’ve become aggressive.”

A few weeks or a month? Bruce finds the answer unreliable even with the explanation of how time passes abnormally. He knows. It's unfortunate that he's back here but he doesn't find himself as frustrated with it as before. The clowns were gone, and so was Jon and his sons. He doesn't have to be concerned with them and can focus on solving the many mysteries of this unusual city.

Behind the lens of his cowl Batman narrows his eyes at the variety of weapons the other carries. A halberd, a pickax, a bow with arrows- all of which seem to be reinforced with the same diamond deposits that coat the ground. They wont build up on the body of a person but they will on inanimate objects? Maybe it was something about body heat that prevented such a thing? Wait- creatures were mentioned, and it seemed as though this individual was willing to share information on them.

"Are you a hunter of these creatures?" Batman doesn't recall being troubled by specific creature during his last visit to this city. It's possible that they've recently become a problem, along with the odd snow which left diamond deposits to build upon each other. "Tell me what's happening with them."

The radius of the downfall had to be studied. Batman was nothing if not diligent in his analysis. Though he had a lack of equipment at his disposal he could gather pieces of the deposits as he finds them for a study later. There didn’t seem to be any other effect on the environment other than a build-up of crystalized objects. In his mission to discover just how much area this downfall covered, Batman finds himself in Mistwood, one of the outer regions of the city.

“It seems to have affected every area obtainable by the citizens of the city.” A pause as he lowers a hand from his cowl- he forgets he also lacks the tech installed in his suit to record his findings. Analyzation aloud had been a habit built over several years... he’d sooner obtain his tech than break the habit of talking out loud. A grumble. 

The dark mass of his suit drops down after checking the crystalized trees, to look closing at an indent on the surface. One that is shaped like a large foot. “Whatever made this must also be crystalized.” He reaches out with a gloved hand to brush it into the print finding loosened diamonds, which he gathers up- there some rather large chunks.

In the process of collecting, he senses a presence and stands to turn and find someone trying to push through the bushes that were now mounds of diamond.

“Hm.”

Strange. When Bruce was last in this city it hadn’t been as shiny. As disappointing as it was to be back; finding the city in this state brought the detective out in him. His essential gear is downgraded or stripped away, but a lack of equipment never stopped him before. On closer inspection he finds the layer of sparking deposits seem to be diamonds.

“Hm.” The Batman stoops low and runs a gloved hand over jagged edges, finding loose pieces in the cluster he gathers them for analysis later. After his poking and prodding the Bat stands and holds a hand out to the snowflakes falling from the sky. It doesn’t crystalize when it lands on him, but the chunk at his feet seems to grow ever slightly.

Batman turns his attention to the corvid-resembling individual. “You- how long has this been going on?” He wasn’t sure if this question could be answered, but if he had a time-frame he could predict the rate at which the deposit of carbon could grow. Of course.. this also depended on the downfall.

What would you say is Batman’s greatest weakness? I heard from another user its his need for control, what do you think?

This is a little tough because like strengths there are so many weaknesses i can name... Personally I think his greatest weakness is that he cares too much. He doesn’t show his care in a normal way, it’s shown through his actions in trying to protect what he loves. He cares too much about Gotham to let himself rest, he cares too much about his loved ones to let them do anything without his help, he cares too much about an abandoned child that he’s adopted several, he cares too much about the rogues of Gotham to act maliciously toward them despite having reason to. Now keep in mind this is my personal opinion, I know Bruce is shown in so many different ways in so many different medias but I love the Batman that cares about his villains and wants to truly help them. He cares too much about life to kill. He’s so complicated in the way that he shows his love and what he cares for because the walls are all there, he does everything he can for the people and the city he loves and that includes protecting them by not letting them close.
