[Dick is still sorting through all the stuff at his house. He's maybe starting to get a little obsessive about it, and probably would look a little crazy to anyone who wasn't from the Barge, as he's got clues to his fake life sprawled out around him on the floor. Not that you guys can see it, but to any passersby, he looks a little nuts. Or at least like he's getting started on spring cleaning a little early by ripping everything off the shelves.]

Anyone else have some pictures of people from back home around the house? Like, not Barge people? I'm trying to figure out how closely this place parallels our home universes, which obviously isn't all that much, but I'm still curious.

I mean, obviously we're all here, and some of us have pretty developed family units that aren't like our original ones at all, but what about the people we left back home? Do they exist here too, or is this place just populated with strangers and us?

[There's a specific reasoning behind this questioning, but most of you aren't getting any reasons as to why this is suddenly bothering him.]

[Private to Tim]

I found pictures of my parents.

[Private to Steph, added after talking to Roman]

Are you okay?

[ooc: Multiple spam threads are welcome if you're so inclined, Dick's just probably on the couch watching home movies or analyzing all the information he can find in the albums and papers around the house.]

[bigbad]

Yeah, I do.

[Spike does his best to sound casual.]

[batmanschmatman]

More then one?

[private]

[bigbad]

No. Just the one so far.

[batmanschmatman]

Can I ask who it is?

I was looking through my things for similar stuff, but nothing matches up for me. I don't recognise any of these people except myself and Abigail.

And the woman Abigail is isn't much like my fiancee used to be like. That being said, I don't think this life is far off what mine would have been. If I was thirty three.

How old are you usually, if you don't mind me asking?

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Twenty six. Plus the year I've spent on the Barge.

[peektuttut]

Your real parents?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

No, my fake parents. C'mon Tim.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Me too.

[Roman's sitting in front of the window in his room, which looks upon Slade's house, curtains drawn tightly and a pitbull in the yard.]

You look a little unhinged, "Officer" Grayson.

[Yes, he makes air quotes with his fingers.]

[Scowls forever. :\] I prefer to think of myself as dedicated.

To being the crazy man with a gun.

I don't have pictures from home or anything, but my alter ego seems to be a fan of palm trees and reads some similar literature.

Are you okay?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, I'm good. [Lies, someone wants to go home.] Is "good" still on the list of words I'm allowed to use to describe how I'm feeling?

Private

[everylittlegirl]

Only if you mean it.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Why?

[batmanschmatman]

Roman saw you in Slade's yard.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Is that what he told you.

[Private]

[toldastory]

There are pictures of me with my mum and the rest of my family.

Even my niece Keisha's older.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Really? That's a lot more complete then anyone else I've heard from. I wonder what determines how much crossover there is between our home universes and this one.

[Private]

[toldastory]

I don't know. There seem to be loads of pictures though, from all over and from different occasions. I've been tempted to ring my mum, but haven't out of worry that she'd see right through me.

Are there pictures of your family, Dick?

[Private | Voice]

[championoftime]

In one of the photoalbums, there were pictures of my granddaughter and her parents. I didn't want to mention. I thought it would be unnerving. [It was a little bizarre to him.]

[Private | Voice]

[batmanschmatman]

It's okay, I get the feeling. I found some of my parents.

You have kids? Back home, I mean.

[Private | Voice]

[championoftime]

Not anymore. [And quickly moves on.]

I've heard a bit about Bruce. What were your real parents like?
