033 [video]

[batmanschmatman]

[After some impressive fumbling and a couple seconds of audio and video that was pretty clearly accidental, you get a shot of a pretty freaked out Dick, who is eight years old and from only about four weeks or so from after his parents were killed. He's in his room, sitting on the floor, and sort of but not really curled in on himself a little while trying to look somewhat impressively brave.

He's kind of failing at it.]

Mr. Wayne? Alfred?

... I don't know where I am. Does anyone know how to get back to Gotham? Or just... Does anyone know how to call the police? Who kidnapped us?

[He looks around the room, not really seeming to care that the communicator is still broadcasting and stares bug eyed at something off screen for a few seconds before mumbling:]

Where am I? Is anyone gonna -

[He cuts himself off, biting his lip before turning the feed off.]

Di-! Ahem.

Where are you, boy I don't know?

[batmanschmatman]

[wtf are you wearing, Flash poser. :|]

I don't - I'm not sure. An apartment or something.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ ...Dick, that's incredibly unhelpful. ]

Well check outside, duuuuuh.

[Kirk recognizes this sad puppy like state even if he has no idea where he is either.]

Hi. I dunno where I am either. But it's gonna be okay. I got an attack dog.

[Lol not really Aristotle sucks :c]

[batmanschmatman]

How do you know it's an attack dog?

[Did it bite you? :|]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Cause all dogs are. He's barking a lot too.

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

You know Gotham! [ HE IS SO HAPPY ]

Are you looking for my Daddy? I don't think he's here now...

[batmanschmatman]

Your dad?

[wtf, Bruce has kids? Where is he hiding them? :|]

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

You're asking for Mr. Wayne, right? Really tall, really awesome? That's my Daddy!

I'm Bruce. [ :DDDDDD HE'S SO PROUD OF HIS DADDY. ]

[peektuttut]

[HE KNOWS THAT FACE. HE SAW THAT FACE AT THE CIRCUS. D: Tim is freaked. But he waits a little while before getting it under control.]

I'm from Gotham too. I haven't seen any...ransom notes, but there are some pretty suspicious people around...where are you? Are you okay?

[batmanschmatman]

I don't... I don't know where I am. You're really from Gotham?

[DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. :|]

[peektuttut]

[NO SIR. :C] Yeah. I live in Gotham Heights. Outside of Bristol? [Loser Tim knows Gotham maps really well. :|] It looks like we're on a, uh. Kind of boat. [In space. :|] If you walk out, you should end up in a hall way. It'll say what level you're on.

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

You're from Gotham too? [ O_O ]

Then you must know my Mommy and Daddy!

[peektuttut]

Um - who are your mom an dad? [Tiny child who looks oddly familiar. :|]

[yourunichase]

Gotham? Like the show?

[Baby Parker is from the 60s.]

[batmanschmatman]

What show?

[yourunichase]

The one with the guy who fought crime?

[cisskabob]

I know Gotham! But that's in New Jersey.

[batmanschmatman]

So?

[cisskabob]

...I dunno, it's not here. I'm from Pennsylvania. And there kids from England and Scotland and stuff. I don't think we're in any of those places.

[Costigan recognizes the room.]

Hey. Dick, right? Dick Grayson? You're not kidnapped, kid. My name's Bill, alright? I'm coming to you right now and I'll tell you what's going on.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

[At first he's not sure if he should trust him, but since he's the first adult he's seen since he got here and he doesn't have a lot of choice, so, he'll go with it.]

Okay.

[lostundercover]

[Costigan was knocking gently at Dick's door a moment later. He took a couple steps back to appear as nonthreatening as possible, some tricks he had learned in dealing with the more paranoid that they weren't trying to intimidate.. all two of them, maybe, in his years undercover.]

"Hey, kid. It's Bill." [He reached up to knock the hood off of his head, wearing a black t-shirt, his brown jacket, and no hat. It looked like he was meant to be lounging around, which was pretty much the case.]

[everylittlegirl]

..Bruce, Dick, or Tim?

[batmanschmatman]

... I'm Dick. Who's Tim? How do you know my name?
