I guess that could have been worse.

Anyone up for doing something?

[Private to Tim]

So now I have a stuffed elephant in my room.

[Private to Wally]

You seriously didn't know I was seven years younger then you?

[Private to Hayley]

I know this is going to sound weird, but thanks for lying about knowing my dad. Seriously. It was really nice to hear.

[Private to Mal]

[Dick was seriously considering just... pretending all that didn't happen. But. He was raised to be polite.]

I just wanted to say thanks again.

[Private to Bruce]

[The feed clicks on to this song playing with maybe some Dick is thoroughly amused by how clever he is chuckling in the background.]

[ ... He knows this song. And really, almost three entire decades later? He still remembers every single word. Really, what is his life.

And he sings it very, very softly, perfectly in tune with the music. ]

Out of the night, when the full moon is bright,
comes the horseman known as Zorro.
This bold regenade, carves a 'Z' with his blade,
a 'Z' to stand for Zorro.

Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cunning and free
Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.

[ And he coughs and pretends it didn't just happen. ]

[Dick just... keeps laughing. That right there pretty much made his life and has legit cheered him up quite a bit. GOOD WORK BRUCE :D]

Can I ask for an encore?

Once in a lifetime performance, chum. Be glad you even caught it.

[ He's glad you actually sound better. Dick's not supposed to be depressed - that's kind of his job. ]

[batmanschmatman]

Oh, I am. Do you know Davy Crockett too?

[How can he be depressed when you... trolled him right back. Dear god, is he allowed to show Tim this?]

I can offer you a drink, or pool. I haven't played pool in ages. But not tonight.

[batmanschmatman]

Got a hot date, Sarge?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I wish. No, just got... a couple of things to do.

[batmanschmatman]

Hopefully nothing too crazy.

Private

[cauchemal]

Again, you're welcome.

[Aaaaand ... no, can't really think of anything else to say. :| So awkward.]

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[So, so awkward. :|]

... Are you doing all right?

Private

[cauchemal]

[Too quickly:]

Yes! Yes, quite well, thank you. And you?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

[He is very good at playing the "I'm okay" game, Mal, so he knows you're lying, but he doesn't know you well enough to call you out on it, so he leaves it alone.]

I'm all right. Happy to be the right age again.

... Sorry, if this is uncomfortable for you, we don't have to talk.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

We're not talking about this.

[batmanschmatman]

Okay.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Everything else okay?

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

What sort of something were you thinking of doing?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I'm up to suggestions.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Ping pong?

[peektuttut]

I'm calling it Zitka 2.0 an nothing you can say will change my mind.

[batmanschmatman]

Hey, I'm not arguing with you.

You think I should try walking on the railing again?

[peektuttut]

Only if I can join you this time.

private;

[everylittlegirl]

Uh, sure. I'm sorry I lied. I kind of panicked.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I don't blame you, I think everyone was a little bit.

How was Capa?

private;

[everylittlegirl]

Honestly? I don't know.
