Mun. I won't waste your time if you don't waste mine. Make up your mind - if you're going to play me, then choose the rest of your icons, find a game, and write the app. If you're not going to, there are better things that you could do with your time, and I could be back where I belong.

If you're serious about doing this, a canon review also wouldn't hurt - especially not now that you've got the DVDs.

Finally a Batman that looks more familiar.

It's good to see you, Bruce.

[inmateincharge]

And what's wrong with places like this, Batsy? It's so much fun to run into some other version of yourself - I heard there's a me out there with a mustache! [I seriously doubt that anyone plays Cesar Romero's Joker, but you never know.]

[nightsknight]

Joker. Who let you out this time?

[Well I play Adam West Batman - theoretically, at least - so yeah, could be!]

[nightsknight]

Nightwing.

Are muns always like this? So... indecisive? Mine has already been writing me for years, but now that she's thinking of roleplaying me she's convinced she can't.

[wing_of_night]

Mine is just as indecisive. He's trying to find a place for another of his muses. Been roleplaying for years and still self-conscious about it.

Most of the time they lose themselves in the writing. Once they get in the groove of things, they'll calm down.

[nightsknight]

[There is this awkward sort of pause sorry, Dick, Bruce does not do feels.]

Good.

From my insane Dick Grayson is Harry Potter AU. Because I have no shame

[dickandharry]

Id've thought you'd be talking them out of sending you to a game.

[Not trying to talk them out of going to a game. Succeeding. With Bruce there is no try]

my goodness that sounds interesting

[nightsknight]

You and a few others would be able to take care of Gotham. Of course, it helps that according to my mun, no time would pass back there as long as I'm here.

[wing_of_night]

[Yeah he does, and Dick's gotten pretty good at reading Bruce's particular version of feels.]

So, how's your mun been treating you?

[nightsknight]

[NO HE DOESN'T THAT'S ALL LIES AND SLANDER AND EXAGGERATION, LIES.

Meanwhile Dick is getting a mild version of the batglare because really, Dick? Really?]

I'll get back to you when she's played me for more than half an hour.

Re: my goodness that sounds interesting

[dickandharry]

You're assuming I'm even in Gotham. Which I'm not.

Plus there's the whole being in Scotland for nine months out of the year thing for me even if I wasn't in a game.

[nightsknight]

[UH OH DICK YOU MAY HAVE SAID THE WRONG THING THERE]

Why should you be in Scotland for that long?

[dickandharry]

Y'know...school. Wizard school. You're not my version of you are you?

It's not like I'm slacking off! Blue Beetle's there to help with the martial arts stuff and there's huge mysteries and multiple attempts on my life every year.

Really, it's like Gotham except that clowns don't cause everyone to simultaneously hyperventilate.

[wing_of_night]

[If he really didn't have feels, he wouldn't have taken a young orphan circus kid in and made him into a super hero, and then adopted him later. Plus, Dick's immune to the batglare. Too many times of breaking curfew or some such.]

Heh, I wouldn't worry so much. Who knows, you might even have fun here. I've seen at least four versions of Catwoman, a Talia - although from another world, Tim and Steph are around here somewhere as well as Cass and Damien. I've even seen Superman, Wonderwoman, and all sorts of League members just chilling around.

[He saunters up and elbows Bruce in the ribs.] C'mon, you deserve a vacation.

i need to actually narrow things down to 15 icons and start uploading, clearly

[nightsknight]

[THE ONLY THING HE FEELS IS JUSTICE. And yeah okay that's a fair point. But the batglare is still as good a communicator of emotion as anything else. The look that Dick gets a moment later is a good deal drier.]

Criminals don't take vacations, and they're going to exist no matter where I end up. So thanks, but I'll pass. If Catwoman and Talia are around, I know I'll have work.

... and what do you mean? Who's Damian? Cass? Steph?

[nightsknight]

Wizarding school?

[Not that magic isn't real or anything but just what]

[dickandharry]

That's actually the exact same thing you said in my universe.

Hehe

[wing_of_night]

[Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that Bruce.]

Yeah, but here, time works differently. You'll go back to the exact point in time you were taken from, so this is essentially a free holiday.

[He pauses for a second, looking both apologetic and kinda hurt all at once.]

Crap... probably don't know them yet... let's see... Cass is the second Batgirl, after Babs took on the role of Oracle. She was raised by her assassin father using only violence to communicate. When she escaped him and came to Gotham, she couldn't speak any language. But, with a lot of time, patience and headaches on Alfred's part, she learned to talk, read, and not kill every petty crook in Gotham. ...You also adopted her. Steph - Stephanie Brown - is the third Robin once Tim graduated to 'Red Robin.' She's a live one. Kind of like me when I was younger, only she doesn't know when to stop talking. Still, sweet girl.

Damian, though... he's one you're going to want to meet soon. He's... your son. ...And Talia's.

[Deep breaths, Dick. Deep breaths.]

it's not like I don't have enough either! But that's the problem, how to choose among 8 billion :|s

[nightsknight]

My....

That's impossible. Talia and I were close, but never....

Batgirl never took on a new role. And Tim- I doubt he's going anywhere any time soon. Besides, the role chose him as much as he chose the role - I'm not planning on setting up a string of Robins.

[nightsknight]

I'm not surprised.

You've never shown any talent for or interest in magic - and if you had, I'm sure we could find someone to teach you from Gotham. Zatanna might not want to settle down for that long, but she could at least get you started.

I know that feeling. Had similar troubles with Dick really.

[wing_of_night]

I know, it's hard to believe but that's the truth.

...Yeah... you can blame Joker for that one. I wasn't in Gotham at the time, but something happened and he shot her... in the spine. Point blank. Paralyzed from the hips down. Instead of just retiring all together, though, she set up an impressive computer network in an old clock tower and began providing support that way.

Tim's going to get older, and he'll outgrow the Robin costume, just like I did, and he'll move on to his own thing as Red Robin. Steph is just the latest addition to the Bat-clan.

It's a lot to take in, I know. But, it's the truth, I swear.

[dickandharry]

It was suggested when this whole thing originally came up, but Zee couldn't. We tried. My magic doesn't work the same way hers does. There were other options besides Scotland but...

Probably should explain this better. I'm guessing your me was born Dick Grayson. I wasn't, although I didn't find that out until this mess started. My parents adopted me. The school I'm going to was the one my biological parents went to. I wanted to go just for a year to find out what they were like and then transfer to one of the American schools, but things got complicated.

Evil, racist wizards, conspiracies, and a vagueish prophecy that (true or not) kinda puts me right in the middle of everything. I could leave, but it'd mean leaving my friends behind to deal with it on their own and I think we both know I can't do that.

[aceofkillers]

C'mon, Bats, havin' so little fun down amongst all us sinners?

Have you tried the icon trick to bump it up to 100?

[aceofkillers]

Yup. Not on this account, but the icon trick got fixed, presumably with the last update
