I know everyone's already said their pieces about port, but you know? Ones like that really aren't so bad. Aside from the possibility of falling overboard and getting assimilated into the world we're visiting, it's basically just like going to a city you've never been to before. There are places you should avoid, and places that are perfectly safe.

I know we all joke a lot about Gotham being a terrible place to live because it's America's murder capital and Bludhaven wasn't much better, but there are good parts to it too. There are these Cuban meat sandwiches at a place called Ibano's, there's near perfect acoustics at Jonus Theater, I could probably go on forever, and while I'm not really going to recommend it as a vacation spot to anyone soon - because again, murder capital of America - as long as you know what you're doing and are careful about what parts you wander into, you'll probably be okay.

How's everyone handling our week of relative quiet? Anyone up for doing something? Actually having something to do in port kind of spoiled me for a few days.

[Private to Bruce, backdated to right after port]

So, you know what Saturday was?

You know me, I can't stand these quiet weeks. So I decided to adopt an angry shape-shifting teenager.

[batmanschmatman]

... Oh really?

You remember ages ago I gave that lion kid a concussion?

[batmanschmatman]

Wally, I know who you're talking about. I meant more like why did you adopt David?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't start a tourist campaign by telling people it's the murder capital of the world. That's a footnote.

[batmanschmatman]

Might as well be honest with people.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Vegas is never honest, you know. And lots of people go there.

Private- May be better to assume this is before their talk, since their talk will be bad times.

[lostundercover]

I think that's the first time you've mentioned Bludhaven like that. What's got you all nostalgic?

Private- Says you :P

[batmanschmatman]

Port, I guess.

Private- Fun times for me, bad times for them. xD

[lostundercover]

Everything alright?

You'd better knock on wood, or next thing you know we're all going to be turned into inanimate objects.

[batmanschmatman]

I think I could take it.

I don't know, Tim and I had a long talk a while ago and we agreed that being turned into a lamp was pretty much a worst case scenario.

[toldastory]

I can't believe the week I was asleep was a quiet one, it's just not fair.

[Friends filter]

Movie night?

[batmanschmatman]

I'm sure we'll get another one you can enjoy. Glad to see you up and about.

[Friend filter]

I'm always up for movie night.

[toldastory]

Thanks. I'm glad to be up and about.

Suggestions?

Don't mind the murders, there are good sandwiches. I'm sure the citizens of Gotham agree while the Joker is blowing up their boats and their hospitals.

[batmanschmatman]

Hey Crane. How've you been, buddy?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Amused by your slight sociopathic tendencies, mostly.

Never work as a tour guide.

private;

... Yes?

[batmanschmatman]

I like my real job more anyway.

private;

Did you actually, or did you have to look it up? Time gets away from you in this place, after all.

private;

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

I actually did. I stayed in during the port because of it.
