[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.]

Sorry. I just.. it's frustrating being here.

[A pause.]

I'm from 2009, Dick. It's 2011. My real dad might be out there. My real friends.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Are you going to try and contact them?

Private

[everylittlegirl]

No. Remember what I said about not missing anyone? It would only be worth it if I got to have a little bit with my dad and I doubt we'll be here long enough for that.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Probably.

I've been avoiding trying to find out too much about the people I don't already have information on anyways. I sort of don't really think I want to know if people I know from back home still exist or not.

Private

[everylittlegirl]

It's probably a good idea.

Re: Private

[batmanschmatman]

Probably.

So, you're a genius, huh?

Private

[everylittlegirl]

AP student that likes extracurriculars. Close enough.

I mean, I took AP classes in high school too? But not like this. This girl's way too overachieving for my taste.

Private

[batmanschmatman]

Thank god we'll be out of here by May, right? I'd hate to think you'd have to take the exams and everything.

Private

[everylittlegirl]

Are you always this optimistic?

Private

[batmanschmatman]

When I drop the "everything's fine" attitude, it's pretty safe to say something's really wrong.

Private

[everylittlegirl]

I'll keep that in mind.
