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.]

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

[batmanschmatman]

Hopefully nothing too crazy.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Dick, do I ever do anything crazy?

[batmanschmatman]

Maybe not by choice.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Damn. You've caught me. Someone's forcing me into throwing a wild party. And I can't invite you. It's... I'm so sorry.

[batmanschmatman]

Howie, I'm wounded. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive you.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

You mean you haven't been doing this behind my back for months? I have not invites up to my elbows.

[batmanschmatman]

Nah, wild parties aren't really my thing, honestly.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Mine neither. I can live with being boring.

[batmanschmatman]

Too bad this place seems to not want to let anyone get away with boring though, huh?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I really would love it if this place was dull.

[batmanschmatman]

I don't really mind, honestly. I know that sounds insane and potentially suicidal, but I'm used to having a lot to do. I don't really know what I'd do with myself if everything was quiet all the time.

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

There's... there's a point to that, I guess, and I've been here long enough that I'd be at a bit of a loss what to do myself.

I'm just still a little more used to being 'Sheepman' as Ray called it.

And this place is interesting enough without having to be turned into a child.

You have a good time?

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

At the time? Mostly, aye. Barring the odd incident, but mostly.

You?

The Admiral didn't exactly pull me from a good point in my life, so, it could have been better. But parts of it were sort of fun.

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about that.

And... it was, in a way. It went better than I'd have predicted, to be honest.

How did Elle handle having a kid to keep an eye on?

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Not... amazingly. Better than I'd have thought she would, but I certainly wouldn't leave her with someone else's.

Problem is, the worst thing she did had the best intentions.

[batmanschmatman]

What happened?

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

She tried to change my future. Save my life.

And told a child that he was going to die in 14 years time in the process. I... am still unsure what to do with it.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

... Yikes.

Uh, I guess at least she was trying to look out for you?

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...Aye. And I can understand the desire. I've... wanted to do similar every time she was a kid, but resisted the urge.

But... it... I don't know.

How often have inmates been kids?

Re: private;

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Most of them? Just once. Elle got turned into one again in a more recent flood.
