Shelley Winters

It's not really the first time Shelley is in a place with unusual qualities. True, usually it happened because she had died, but still! Now here she was, alive and kicking, and with her fellow Jorgmund employeees nearby. All in all, not a bad time.

The bat is new, though. "I had no idea I had a bat in my heart all along. Usually the recommended number of animals inside you is zero, but I'll make an exception for you" she says to it, bopping his head with a fingertip.

For a moment Shelley simply grins, observing the rather large bat clinging to her -- large enough to reach her waist when standing on the ground. The wingspan is impressive for a critter of its size!

Lepakko climbs to her ear and whispers something, going unheard to any bystanders. It gets Shelley to giggle, though. "Alright, alright, let's do it" she says, placating, and stands a little distance away before extending her arms sideways, Lepakko attached to her back and extending his wings alongside her arms, making it look like Shelley grew bat wings.

Deepening her voice, Shelley proclaims: "Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot...I'm vengeance. I'm the night. I...am...Batman!" She manages to keep that for around three seconds before devolving into mirthful laughter, doubling over and gasping for air. Oh, that was delightful! Good times! She has been in this world for like five minutes and she's already having a blast. Lepakko climbs to her head, his paws covering her face while she laughs, struggling to stay on her.

"H-Hey, haha, you better behave! My glasses!"

Once Lepakko has settled with his head right on top of Shelley's hair and the rest of the bat cascading behind her back, she looks around with interest, talking to anyone nearby.

"I know we're on the clock but being around here really gets your adventure spirit going. Maybe that's what some of us have as our demons" Daemons, Shelley, pronounce it right.

Lepakko bends to whisper in her ear. Shelley shakes her head.

"No. We're not going exploring. We're sticking with everyone"

Lepakko looks quite disappointed while he sets his head back on Shelley's head.

Crossing her arms, Shelley regards whoever she's talking to. "Although I guess for this little buddy it's more like...you know how cartoons show an angel and a devil on your shoulders talking to you? I guess I got stuck with only the devil, and it's too large to stand on a shoulder"

It seems in Shelley's case her daemon is full of her more excitable and outlandish traits, those that have both gotten her into a lot of trouble in the past and saved her from danger. Luckily for everyone, Shelley has enough selfcontrol over said traits, and Lepakko knows it. She can behave.
