Looking for games. CnC maybe?

[getup]

So the reboot was all you needed to get interested? I can't say I'm complaining, but my life as Oracle wasn't that bad. It was pretty good, actually.

But as I said, I'm not complaining. And you say you're looking but you are actually staring intently at that one game, hmm. What could that mean?

...Why is my name upside down, by the way?

Comments

[hackingyoursensors]

So that people who are upside down can read it. [Duh, Barbara]

Or probably just because it looks cool.

[getup]

My mun is suddenly so much more considerate than I gave her credit for.

You think?

[hackingyoursensors]

Exactly. More muns should think of these things. Who knows when I might be scrolling through dear_mun while dangling upside down, possibly in the middle of being held hostage? I have to entertain myself somehow while the bad guys monologue.

[getup]

Ugh, those are some seriously comma-inducing monologues. But it's just the name, not the entire post that is upside down. There's a flaw in your logic, and therefore you are going to get a comma, kid.

[hackingyoursensors]

The ones who treat you like you're their personal therapist are the worst. But I can safely say I've never slipped into a coma while being monologued at. I'm usually too busy getting myself free.

Did you just call me "kid"? You really don't recognize me, do you?

[getup]

Half the efforts to set yourself free should be due to the sheer desire of make the guy shut up.

I really, really do. But you aren't Nightwing, and therefore you are a kid. Tough cookies.

[hackingyoursensors]

Just because I'm not twentysomething doesn't mean I'm a kid. Maturity doesn't have anything to do with age.

[Yes, he said that with a straight face. Somehow.]

[getup]

You're such a brat.

[ Teasing teasing. ]

[hackingyoursensors]

Wow, mature answer there, Ba-- Batgirl.

[getup]

It's kind of nice though. You're Robin, I'm Batgirl. The whole age thing is messed up though.

[hackingyoursensors]

Actually...there isn't a Batgirl where I'm from. So it's kind of more messed up over here. Seeing as how, to me, my best friend suddenly decided to get into the superhero biz.

[getup]

No Batgirl? Wow, low blow.

Who that might be? My mun is not familiar with your, umm, setting.

[hackingyoursensors]

No Batgirl yet.

[Grins] Turn your monitor upside down. It's written right there, in upside-down black-and-white.

[getup]

Easier said than done. But if they're catching up, I can't complain. More reasons to check it out.

[hackingyoursensors]

Except I'd rather you didn't pick up the mantle at all, seeing as how people in capes tend to get shot at a lot. And go through other, more creative attempts on their lives.

[getup]

Oh I know. I know, and I don't wish it on any Babs out there in the world(s). I can't stop myself though, in a way.

[hackingyoursensors]

Once you put on a cape and find out how much you can make a difference, it's kind of hard to turn your back on it.

But I can't imagine life any other way.

[getup]

You got it right on. Once you get the call it's hard to ignore it.

Even after I've lived? Neither can I.

[hackingyoursensors]

Why did you decide to become Batgirl anyway? I mean, I doubt you just woke up one morning, put on a cape, and went out to fight crime.

[getup]

It's not so simple but...something like that. I always wanted to do more, and I took the chance when I saw it, even if Batman was against it at first.

[hackingyoursensors]

Yeah, I can see why he would be.

But, hey, I know...sort of you...and I'm sure you make a great Batgirl.

[getup]

He came around though. He always does.

And you are a great Robin, but I like you better as Nightwing.

[hackingyoursensors]

Is it because I have a cooler costume or something?

[getup]

Cooler costume.

And something.

[hackingyoursensors]

What's the "something"?
