[Dick's voice is still his own, but gravelly. It's more of a glass in throat variety than the Batvoice, really, and in case it wasn't painfully obvious by the creepy stalking he's been doing and breaking into other people's rooms, he's entirely flood affected and has swapped personalities with Rorschach.]

Worked a case, once. Woman stood on ledge of building, holding her baby. Said she didn't want to live in this wicked, wicked world. Didn't want her child growing up in it. Assumed she was going to jump. Tried reassuring her, telling her to come inside, talk this over. Think about it.

Misjudged scenario.

Threw child when other officer grabbed her. Never meant to jump. Wanted to "save" her baby from this wicked, wicked world.

Caught baby, but still didn't feel good about that night. Felt alone in a crowded city. No one to rely on, no cops, no partners. And death was always close in Blüdhaven. [And, story time over, he clicks off the feed.]

Should I even ask if you're all right?

[batmanschmatman]

Am fine, Arthur. [WHY WOULDN'T HE BE it's totally normal to talk about attempted murder like this right? Right.]

[paradoxlol]

[TOTALLY NORMAL.]

And nothing prompted this?

[batmanschmatman]

[If this was a video feed, he might have shrugged ever so slightly.] Felt like sharing.

[Whether or not that's a joke is up to you, bro.]

Private;

[insolubleriddle]

[It's dubious suggestions o'clock.]

Take up alcoholism for the following forty eight, to seventy two hours. We'll all be better off for it.

Private;

[batmanschmatman]

Appreciate the suggestion.

[Barbara's voice, on the other hand, is the most relaxed it's been since she's arrived.]

Nights like that always stay with you. You saved the child, but it's still the kind of world where you had to.

Voice

[batmanschmatman]

Always going to be.

Voice

[ladyofgotham]

Not if we don't let it.

Voice

[batmanschmatman]

Optimistic world view.

Voice

[ladyofgotham]

I prefer to think of it as determined.

Voice

[batmanschmatman]

Doesn't mean you'll have success.

Voice

[ladyofgotham]

I already have. My city isn't as good as it could be, but it's better than it was. And I'll keep fighting until it is.

You seemed like you would, too.

Voice

[batmanschmatman]

Never said I'd stop fighting.

Voice

[ladyofgotham]

Why bother, if you don't think it will amount to anything?

Voice

[batmanschmatman]

Doing what we can to help. Better than making the situation worse.

[darknessb4me]

[LOLing. When did you get hilarious, Grayson?]

[batmanschmatman]

[Since just now apparently. :c And you're not getting a response, sorry Arthas. :c]
