looking for a home?

[gothamsheir]

Look, if you're not going to jump in with both feet, why bother at all? I'm not the kind of guy you take for a test drive. Your mistake was inviting me into your headspace in the first place.

Tell you what? Why don't you go watch those movies five more times and see if you're feeling a little more up to the challenge. While you're at it, think of a different user name. Even for Bruce Wayne, "Gotham's Heir" is too pretentious. [ Not unlike referring to oneself in the third person. In his defense, those last three sentences are mostly sarcastic. He's not going anywhere, and he's not letting his mun get off the hook so easily. ]

[Look, it is the better billionaire superhero.]

I don't know, there's something to be said for the pretentiousness.

Feel free to ignore the brat...

[demon_brat]

>Tt.< Why? It's true.

[gothamsheir]

[ And Bruce is just glowing, isn't he? Try not to feel too jealous now, Tony. ]

Well, it's a matter of opinion, and I'm not sure I like what it says.

now why would I want to do that?

[gothamsheir]

I don't need something like that stapled do my forehead. [ Everywhere he goes. His name, wardrobe, vehicles, girlfriends, and mansion do that just fine. ]

Do you like Demon Brat just because it's true? [ Actually Bruce has no idea. ]

[technetronic]

[Screw you Wayne.]

[He spreads his arms apart.]

What's not to like?

Rogers, get out. By which I mean, YAY!

[demon_brat]

Those in Gotham already know, those outside either know or don't care, what's the trouble?

>Tt.< It's a fair enough warning. Most people don't pay attention to warnings.

[ladyofgotham]

I think it suits you.

[thedarkbutler]

I don't know, sir. I happen to rather like it.

[diana_abel]

Never heard of Gotham. Although, there is an area of Bete Noire called "Little Gotham."

[deadliestviper]

God, mine does the same thing. Invites you right in then refuses to go full-throttle. What do they think they're accomplishing?

[gothamsheir]

Do you really want me to answer that?

:3

[gothamsheir]

[ Pffft. ] I wasn't aware I needed to come with a warning sign.

[demon_brat]

*eyeroll* I do.

[gothamsheir]

[ Cue the eyebrow quirking. ]

That seems to be the consensus, which means I'm stuck with it. But who am I to go against what people want? [ Well, a few people. ]

[gothamsheir]

Do you, Alfred? [ Ah, it makes him smile. ] A few more comments like that and my mun might actually gain the confidence to go all the way with this.

[gothamsheir]

Why would that be? [ He asks more for the sake of hearing how the boy answers. ]

[demon_brat]

*... for the record, Damian is being extremely careful and nice to this version of his Father. We'll see how long this lasts.*

Let's ... start from a bit further than a direct answer. Is anyone that you know of called the Demon's Head?

[gothamsheir]

There are "Little Gotham's" now? I guess that says something about the city. [ It's almost painful to smile through his response.

[diana_abel]

Not that the city lacks for things said about it. They don't call Bete Noire the "City of Sin" for nothing.

But seriously, what's the big Gotham?

[gothamsheir]

I can only guess that it makes them feel a little bit "cooler" before they actually give up.

[deadliestviper]

That's pathetic in so many ways I don't have time to count them.

[gothamsheir]

[ Someone like Damian might notice his lips purse just the slightest bit. ] Do I really look like the kind of man who associates with someone who would call themselves "the Demon's Head?"

[demon_brat]

I didn't ask if you associate with him. I asked if you knew of somebody named that.

And if you happened to, you can probably make a few guesses why his grandson would need a warning label.

[gothamsheir]

Gotham is many things. A metropolis unlike any other, an architectural wonder. For some it's an industrial wasteland crawling with criminals. For me, it's home.

[gothamsheir]

I am finding that the easiest way to avoid thinking about my mun's shortcomings is to pretend they don't exist at all.
