Hey Munny boy, I'm glad you picked me up and all, but I really don't know what's going on with me. I mean, you say you're picking me up until I get a player whatever that means but you're gonna deny me the old crew? I mean, Bea and Tora and even good old Booster? That's not all that cool, kid. Really. I mean, I'm the one and only Blue Beetle-

[Not anymore, Beetle.]

Really? so I hung up the tights? Well, I do have the whole ticker issue, and I gotta try to keep Kord Industries up and running. So, who did I pass the mantle onto? I hope I was a cool mentor. I bet I was.

...

Why are you not saying anything?

Riiiight. The so-called "heart-condition." You just don't want to admit you're getting fat again.

[bwahahabeetle]

Just because I like my food does not mean I'm getting fat again. I've been taking care of myself! Honest!

*rumple of chip bag*

Errr...

[8x10s_on_request]

Uh-huh. You keep telling yourself that, Ted, and maybe someone will believe you.

[bwahahabeetle]

Hey, Power of Positive thinking and all that Jazz! If I think hard enough, maybe I can make all those calories go away.

*slight smirk* It's not like I have the metabolism of a future athlete and a robo-buddie to keep me on top of my diet.

[8x10s_on_request]

*laughs*

No, but you do have a best friend to nag you. So close enough.

[8x10s_on_request]

"Robo-buddy", Mr. Kord?

[wing_of_night]

Ted! Good to see you again! [Especially after the whole dying thing.]

I'm sure Oracle will be thrilled to see you again.

[bwahahabeetle]

Hey, 'Wing! Taking care of yourself. You haven't caught the "gloom and Doom" of the Bat, have ya?

*Perks at the mention of Oracle*

Oh, Oracle. How is she doing, by the way?

[wing_of_night]

Me? Gloom and doom? Please. I prefer snark and puns, remember?

[Of course he does. Even Dick has teased Babs about 'cyber-doing-it'.]

As far as I know she's doing great. The Birds of Prey have been taking great care of her.

[bwahahabeetle]

Oh good to hear that. If you had gone that way I'd have to hit you with a water balloon or something to get you out of that kinda funk.

[Slight smile at the mention of the Birds]

Good to hear the ladies are taking care of themselves. Have they gotten to the Calendar Spread yet?

[wing_of_night]

During my time with the Titans taught me just how important humor was in our line of work. ...Mainly because Beast Boy never shut up.

Every time I bring up that subject, I usually just get dirty looks from Oracle. I'm not giving up though.

[flyingg]

Hey, he probably doesn't want you to know stuff too soon. All things to be revealed as the plot thickens or something...

[bwahahabeetle]

Plot thickenings, blood thickeners, to-may-to to-mah-to. Yeesh, if this kinda stuff keeps coming up I'm gonna have to get my heart checked again. I don't like the idea of my life getting more complicated than it is, since I am a...

*fingers go up*

Millionaire business owner superhero with a heart condition best friends to a time traveling oddball with a fame complex and a giant experimental hovercraft with a bug motif. Because I can.

*smirk*

So, how're you doing, Dick?

[flyingg]

When do our lives not get more complicated? Ever?

*shrugs*

Oh, you know. Working on getting Donna and myself home so I could be there with my daughter and try to fix things. Since Black Lantern me sort of kind of killed Babs and now I've gotta find her and... you know. Get everything back to normal. Stuck away in Hypertime is overrated.

[bwahahabeetle]

I dunno. I sometimes wish I could just do the whole "Pina Colada' retirement thing and let you youngin's deal with it. I'll be over here with my cane and hearing aid.

*Shakes head at the Hypertime thing*

Good luck to you with that. Hypertime is a whole mess of things and stuff that i don't ever want to deal with. It's enough of a pain trying to get the anti-grav lifts on the bug to work properly with the gravitons of this universe, let alone dealing with the whole chances of reality as well.

[flyingg]

Well, we're not going anywhere. But I think you're still likely to get bored, still.

*Mouth-twist*

Yeah, well. I think I just want to go home. Too much of a mess I made. But I'll take notes when I get home, in case you get curious.

[bodilesswarrior]

[Her smile is soft, and it is totally not trembling, nope.]

He looks up to you a lot, from what I've heard.

[bwahahabeetle]

Hey, Babs! Fancy seeing you here.

*tries to look all big and impressive....and fails in the most Beetle-y way possible*

He does, huh? I really hope I was a damn good mentor to him. I mean, teen sidekicks are dime a dozen but a lotta them didn't have good role models *cough*Speedy*cough*

[He does also see the Not-Trembling] Babs? Something up?

{OOC Note: This is Beetle immediately post I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League". So...no hole in the head.}

[bodilesswarrior]

[Stop being so endearing, Ted, it's making her chest ache.]

Too true. He's lucky to have you. [She's got it under control, now, but her gaze is just that bit too intense.]

And it's nothing, I just. Haven't seen you in a while. You know how it is.

((Oh Ted. :c I usually play Babs earlier but I. Could not resist.))

[bwahahabeetle]

I guess this is some weird time-jumping paradox Doctor Who Weeping Angels kinda stuff, because I don't have memory of the kid. Tell me, what's his name?

[sits with his hands on his chin, eager to hear who the next one is]

[hippie_shifter]

"Hello, fellow from the same game that I haven't met yet!"

[bwahahabeetle]

Oh hey! you're Fauna, right? I think you missed out on some stuff. My munny here offered to temp Ted until the game got a permanent one.

And I feel very unloved because of it. i mean, moi, doesn't have a player.

I think I need osme ice cream now.

[OoC! Hey! It's serenity! I offered to temp until we got a permaBeetle!]

[hippie_shifter]

"Yup. I'm Fauna. The one who does most of the cooking, cleaning, and com work over at Titans West."

"And that's too bad about not having a permanant player, but even temp players can become permanant ones. Mine wasn't intending to have Starfire and Mento move in for keeps."

[bwahahabeetle]

Oh, is that how it went with those folks, huh? Interesting.

...

Should I just leave my bags in the brain spaces door or what?

[hippie_shifter]

"Yeah, and put your feet on the furniture. Failing that, prod them into giving you a good story or two. That way, they won't want you to leave."
