[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.]

No, but it raises questions, especially since I don't know who you are.

video

[batmanschmatman]

You know who I am. You drew a picture of me the other day.

video

[maskurbates]

Not me; the devil child whose body I've stolen.

video

[batmanschmatman]

Funny. You don't look like the kid from The Omen.

video

[maskurbates]

And we're not shaving my head to find out. I want to enjoy this hair while I can.

video

[batmanschmatman]

Glad you're getting something out of being twelve again.

video

[maskurbates]

[He crosses his arms.]

Are you?

video

[batmanschmatman]

I'm not twelve.

video

[maskurbates]

That's not what I meant and don't patronize me.

video - You realize you've killed Mary Poppins for me. :|

[batmanschmatman]

I don't know. What makes you ask?

video- that was not my intent D: but the pb is friggin perfect

[maskurbates]

Ask what?

video- IT'S COOL I already didn't like it <3 And yeah, holy crap, talk about perfect.

[batmanschmatman]

If I'm getting something out of being here.

video

[maskurbates]

I didn't. I asked if you were sincerely glad for me.

video

[batmanschmatman]

Oh yeah, totally.

video

[maskurbates]

[Suddenly:]

Does Mr. Drake live with you?

video

[batmanschmatman]

Nope. Why?

video

[maskurbates]

Because in this dossier of neighbors I found, there's a paper on a Mr. Drake wedged in between several about you. Dick.

video

[batmanschmatman]

Rick.

Find anything interesting?

video

[maskurbates]

Depends if you're lying about--

[He shuffles through some papers off camera and then reads off one.]

--"Mr. Tim Drake, heating man."

video

[batmanschmatman]

Nope, he doesn't live with me.

video

[maskurbates]

[Roman shrugs and throws the paper carelessly to the floor.]

You don't have a little blonde girl, do you?

video

[batmanschmatman]

[Whyyyy does Dick not like where this is going. But he's going to play it cool.]

No, I have a son. Why?

video

[maskurbates]

Saw her in Mr. Wilson's yard and she looked awfully young to be out alone. Probably lives close by.

video

[batmanschmatman]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye out for her. Kids shouldn't be messing around Mr. Wilson's lawn.

video

[maskurbates]

[He gives a thin smile.]

That's exactly what I told her.
