[Dick's been around for a couple of these disturbances by now, and while he knows it's kind of a mixed bag when you put yourself out here like this for anyone to get a look at, there's really only one person he wants to talk to, and for the first time since Bruce showed up, Dick actually looks happy in a network post.

Really, this should probably be private, but the network connections are unstable enough without hoping filters would work, so he'll take the risk.]

Jim, I know you're around. You better not be avoiding me.

I would never.

[batmanschmatman]

Good. [If this were in person, this would be the point where he would be hugging you like he was never going to let go. B(] How's Enterprise?

[captain_jtkirk]

Quiet. [Meaning fuck paperwork.]

[batmanschmatman]

The good kind of quiet? [Are you really complaining about paperwork when you could be here instead though.]

[captain_jtkirk]

I've contemplated pushing someone out of an airlock just for something to do.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm pretty sure that counts as murder even if you're the captain.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'd give them a suit first.

[batmanschmatman]

I guess you could pass it off as a training exercise.

[captain_jtkirk]

I hope you know this is going to happen now.

[batmanschmatman]

Hey, you never know, it could end up saving someone's life.

If it becomes a popular drill, I might have to demand it be named after me.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'll keep that in mind.

How have you been?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Basically the entire nocturnal, cape wearing population of Gotham City's here so things are getting a little crowded.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

[He notices the private, and that speaks volumes :c]

All of them? [Even Bruce?]

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[He doesn't want to gossip about them where they can listen okay. B(]

Well, not Jason or Damian, but a Bruce just arrived a few weeks ago from a universe where he apparently kills criminals, and so things have gotten a little... messy. [Remember Mirrorverse. Remember. :|] But I don't know, we're coping. I might have been a little more hysterical if you'd asked me about it back when it first happened.

Re: [Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

[And you're depressed.]

I can imagine.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Obviously, REMEMBER MIRRORVERSE?]

I'm honestly not sure if I'm hoping he graduates or just gets vanishes.

Re: [Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Why wouldn't you want him to graduate?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Would you like to be stuck in close quarters with some Mirrorverse counterpart of Pike for the next several years?

[batsitter]

Making friends, Master Richard? [Other than murderous ten year olds >.>]

SCREAM

[batmanschmatman]

[Technically he hasn't met the murderous ten year old yet. :c]

Alfred! Man, is it good to see you. [Since this is the first time in like, two years. B(] How are you?

HEY THAR

[batsitter]

[This is a little confusing...]
Sir, I only saw you five minutes ago as you left for patrol.

I do love me some alfred

[batmanschmatman]

... It's been a long five minutes? [It's complicated. :c]

[batsitter]

Time travel, sir?

[batmanschmatman]

Not exactly. People get pulled in from different points in the time stream, and time doesn't really pass in their world while they're gone. Pretty convenient.

[Private]

What's going on back home?

[private]

[batsitter]

[Oh. Oh dear. That stiff upper lip wavers.] You've taken up the master's nocturnal hobby. I'm afraid... he's gone.

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

[ALFRED NO, DICK CAN'T HUG YOU WHEN HE'S OVER HERE. :C] Tim told me. That's apparently a couple months down the line for me.

... Everything works out.

[private]

[batsitter]

As it tends to, sir. How is Master Timothy? [because Tim's currently MIA looking for Bruce DOES THAT WORK OUT TOO :|]

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

He's- [Freaking out because murderous Bruce but. :V] Good. We're both good. The gang's practically all here, actually.

[peektuttut]

[ASDFklh okay he's perking up a little more and coming out of bat hiding for this. B(]

Alfred. Good to see you.

[batsitter]

Likewise, sir. [He is, even if the last time he saw you you were storming out of the cave B(]

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[He was having a bad phase okay B(]

How's home?

[Private]

[batsitter]

We're well. And you, sir? It seems you're ahead of me in the timeline. [This is confusing for him ok!]

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[It confuses everyone :c]

I am. It's...kind of complicated. But I'm all right.

I'd be better with some of your cookies.

[aslandish]

[ Well, his name isn't Jim, but he'll be peering at you anyways.

S'up, Dick. You miss him? :V ]

[ video ]

[batmanschmatman]

[Always. :C Jesus lion is the best. :C]

Hi, Aslan.
