[wantsomedick]

Well, could be worse, right?

Just drive in already. If you keep worrying we'll never get along.

[ Hello sexy Batman ]

It's my impression that muns spend most of their time worrying about something or other.

[wantsomedick]

[!!!]

You would think we had more to worry about. You know with the whole saving the world thing going on.

[spoileralert]

Doesn't it ever get kind of tedious? I mean, the world needs saving at least once a year. I generally assume I'm probably not going to die without any warning.

[wantsomedick]

Once a year? I feel like its more than that...

[Maybe he is getting old.]

[spoileralert]

The whole world, sure. Gotham it's more like once a week.

[wantsomedick]

So little. You must be slacking if its just once a week.

[spoileralert]

Hey, I'm new to the cape and cowl business. And there are a surprising number of people who specifically want me dead.

[wantsomedick]

That means you are doing your job right. I think my count is at least 20. Conservative estimation though.

[spoileralert]

I know, right? It kind of feels like an accomplishment. I'd like it to stop now, though. I've been living out of a backpack for like, six months now, in game and in canon.

[wantsomedick]

Oh come on, it isn't that bad.

[Says the circus boy.]

[spoileralert]

I don't think you understand my feelings about warm showers. Forget the comfortable bed I've had since I was five, warm showers.

[wantsomedick]

Showers in the rain aren't that bad either.

[spoileralert]

That's just a cold-hearted lie.

Get it. Because the rain is so cold. Ha ha. God I'm so homesick.

[wantsomedick]

[He made him chuckle though.]

You must be in quite the place if Gotham seems all warm and fuzzy.

[spoileralert]

Alaska in the dead of winter. With monsters. And no electricity.

[wantsomedick]

[Oh.]

Those last two seem to damper things a bit. How are you handling it?

[spoileralert]

Aside from some mysterious poison making me extra depressed without my knowledge, pretty good. I only died once, and that was ages ago. I'm down a set of clothes, though. I loaned out my civvies to a girl who died and I don't really want to go through the morgue to get them back.

[wantsomedick]

You died?

[Oh jeez one of those games.]

Don't let Jason know, he'll need more material for his come backs if he realizes you came back to life too.

[spoileralert]

We're still undecided on if we actually die or not. And if we're actually alive. And... everything, really. It gets way existential if you think about it too hard.

So, uh... who's Jason? Anyone I know?

[wantsomedick]

Yeah, that sounds complicated.

Ah- my brother, one of them. He has a weird sense of humor.

[spoileralert]

Oh. [ BET HE'S HOT TOO ] Well he can get in line. I've got dibs on being left out in the cold, given the cold shoulder, fridged, needing to chill, hell having frozen over and being put in the freezer. Pretty sure I officially hold the high score for "all my friends are dead", but it's hard to say.

[wantsomedick]

I don't think that's a score you really want to be keeping. Besides it doesn't sound like the winner gets much besides frostbite and lonely nights.

[But hey his count is definitely getting up there.]

[spoileralert]

It's kind of a "laugh so you don't cry" sort of thing. Dry humor is my coping mechanism.

[wantsomedick]

At least you have some humor left. It's when you don't that there might be a problem.

[And then you end up like Burce and angry all the time.]

[spoileralert]

I'll be sure to keep you updated on my inevitable descent into madness.

Though I'm pretty sure my mun has an escape plan. Well, not an escape plan, but a not running me into the ground permanently plan.

[batofprey]

Sometimes a little worry isn't such a bad thing, handsome. Can't always run through life without a net.

[wantsomedick]

Hey, I got a net still. That's you and the family.

[He winks at her.]

Just don't have time for worrying on the job.

[batofprey]

[She grins back at him.] Hey now, no flirting, Grayson. I'm dating a real Fox now.

Well, worrying and being reckless are two different things. Though I know how you like to play it sometimes. In it for the thrills.

[batcostume]

Is that really the best you've got?

[ because as far as pep talks go, she's heard better. ]

[ also, hi dick! ]

[wantsomedick]

I left my script in my other batsuit.

[So, yeah. It is.]

[batcostume]

[ there's a pause, then: ]

You'll be fine, Dick. Both of you will. [ after all, he's kind of impossible not to get along with, even in his not-so shining moments. or that's her opinion, anyway. ] All you have to do is keep being you.
