Well, that was fun. You know, it's the little things like normal clothes and non-irradiated living conditions that you really miss when you get dumped into wastelands.

If anyone needs me, I'm going to be drinking water and then catching up on some sleep.

[Private to Costigan]

How're things?

[Private to Wally]

How was life on the good ship Barge?

[Private to Donny]

Better or worse then zombie port?

[Private to Hayley]

Hey.

Spam; You're so mean.

[batmanschmatman]

[He just kept the smile in place and started walking towards the conference room.] So, how're things?

Spam; You mean lazy.

"They're okay." [She replied honestly, giving a shrug. 'Okay' being that sort of generic term like 'fine.'] "You?"

Spam; ihu

[batmanschmatman]

Fine. [It was honest even if it was vague, because even if he sort of felt a little lousy, he'd get over it. He opened the door to the conference room and stepped inside, leaving the door open for Hayley to follow him inside and sat down at a table, still feeling maybe the slightest bit fatigued.] Next time, the Admiral should pack us more water.

Spam; Then don't tag me. :|

[everylittlegirl]

"What'd I tell you about 'fine?'" [She smiled sincerely for the first time, giving him an almost shy glance before looking forward again, shifting slightly awkward. She finally made an effort to actually try to open up a little.] "We found this horrible, gross blanket and it was either that or freezing."

Spam; Maybe I won't. B|

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick laughed dryly, allowing himself to let his guard down a little.] Okay, okay. I've been better, but I've been a lot worse, so I'm seriously not complaining.

Sounds like fun. You bring it home for a souvenir? [It was clear that he was teasing, even if it wasn't really the same level of banter he usually slipped into with friends. He was sort of too tired and frustrated to manage that level of dialogue.]

Spam; Fine. :|

[Hayley made a disgusted face at that for a moment before smiling again as they arrived at the warden areas. She wanted to know why he did the things he did and the easiest way, at least for now, seemed to be to ask. It meant trying to loosen him up to more friendly ground before they began talking about the heavy stuff if she wanted any decent results.] "As tempting as that whole radioactive waste thing is? I had to pass. I have no green-colored delusions of grandeur."

[That was a Bruce Banner reference, yes. What of it?]

Spam; :P

[batmanschmatman]

[The reference was totally lost on Dick, since he'd never heard of the Hulk, or more accurately, he'd heard of him from Spike, but knew literally nothing about him. Still, considering where he came from, radiation and green-colored delusions of grandeur were not exactly out of the question, so he just chuckled quietly.] Good to know. I'd hate to think you were that desperate to get superpowers.

Spam; <3

"They seem overrated." [She replied with a kind of honest nonchalance, something much more herself as she slowly eased into trying to be his friend again. It was easier to lie a little and then to start believing it rather than to change the believe then the behavior.]
