Re: Exsilium Reserves

[umadrobin]

Joey's coming too, huh? And Slade?

...

Well how the hell should I react, mun? It's been way too long, and only Raven knows who I really am after Adstringendum. This is what I've been worried about since you started enabling everyone and their mother for this game. There's a reason I've been avoiding them, you know. They're all better off thinking what they've been thinking all along about me.

What are you up to? [Nothing about this message wasn't suspicious.]

[umadrobin]

None of your damn business.

[ Yeah, that's way more defensive than normal for Red X. Whatever he's talking about, it's obviously personal. ]

[kindofadick]

If you want to associate with the Titans in any way, saying things like "they're all better off thinking what they are thinking" makes it my business.

[umadrobin]

Kid, you don't even know what I meant by that. There's a reason I wear a mask almost twenty-four seven. And it's not because I'm a bionic monkey with your DNA.

[kindofadick]

Don't call me kid and I have my own reasons for wanting to wear a mask, but it's not to try and deceive people.

[umadrobin]

Believe me, you don't want to open this door. Both for my sake, and theirs. They're all better off thinking I'm dead.

[She's suddenly standing behind you, and wrapping her hands around your torso.]

Hey.

[umadrobin]

[ He's taken slightly by surprise, but he knows her when he feels her. Placing one of his hands over hers, he sighs. ]

I take it you saw the reserves?

[feel_nevermore]

I did, yes.

[She moves to stand in front of him.]

You're gonna be alright?

[umadrobin]

This is what I was worried about.

[ His eyes lower to her feet. ]

What am I going to do?

[feel_nevermore]

I know.

[Her hand comes up to cup his cheek.]

Maybe you could try to just get to know him a little first?

Whatever you decide, you know your secret is safe with me.

[umadrobin]

I can't just spring it on him that I've been alive after all these years, Rae. It's not right.

I know how weird that sounds coming from me, but there's a reason I abandoned my past life. I planned on living only for myself. Telling you in Adstringendum changed everything.

[erodedbutterfly]

Hey, ah. You gonna be okay, Red X? [Yeah, she might be a little worried. This is not standard Red X behavior.]

[umadrobin]

Oh, uh, yeah.

[ Quick, get a grip on yourself, Terra only knows about you from memes. ]

Just some personal shit. I'll get over it.

[bewareofwaffles]

Good.

Somebody's gotta keep an eye on you.

[umadrobin]

Trust me, Jericho's not much for babysitting.

What about you, though? How the hell are you the only Titan that won't be there?

[bewareofwaffles]

I'd trust him over you any day.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you missed me.

[umadrobin]

Maybe it's just not as fun without the whole crowd.

[bewareofwaffles]

Never would've pegged you for a people person.

[umadrobin]

My brand of socializing tends to be more fun for me than anyone else.

/threadjacks because omg Cyborg! <3

[feel_nevermore]

Hey, Cyborg. Long time no see.

[Someone's been missing you.]

/approves because omg Raven! <33

[bewareofwaffles]

Hey, yourself.

Long time no see, girl! What've you been up to?

<333 I'm going to try and drag you to the game we're all going to: you've been warned!

[feel_nevermore]

[She quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] You haven't already forgotten my name, have you?

Nothing much.

[Apart from the fact that Red X and her are dating. Oops.]

Robin's been trying; *maybe* this summer. *MAYBE*

[bewareofwaffles]

'course not! Hard to forget the mental image of three of you telling me at once. [Pun maybe intended.]

Sounds like a party to me, Raven.


[Larry-level oops]

B-but that's so far away and the activity requirements are very low... /makes puppy eyes

[feel_nevermore]

Yeah, well you can blame Beast Boy for that. [Not that she doesn't blame him for pretty much everything... But in this case, it's accurate.]

Oh. So you noticed that too?

[Don't bring Larry into this. Just don't.]
