On NOT getting sent to a game. Any game.

[peckish4action]

... am so not sulking! I get it, too much on your plate, and the place that is familiar, the kid needs more.

But KF--

Never mind. No, still not sulking.

[Blank stare Robin... Only because Sherry recognizes you and mun made the comment earlier that her older version in her game is kinda Nightwing because she refuses to be called robin on the coms.]

[peckish4action]

*...sulking? What sulking? There's a girl there watching him, and he must maintain appearances, right? Show must go on!

He gives her a bright smile.*

Hello! You up late, or different time zone?

[captainprecious]

Hey, just because you're not in a game now, it doesn't mean you won't be in one later. I'm sure you're one of her top priorities for games.

Billy!!

[peckish4action]

Well, maybe? Games aren't her top priority, though. It's just... frustrating, watching my friends in the few places she does read. Alone. You know?

\o/!

[captainprecious]

Do you think she'd ever think about those Meme places? Those can be pretty fun.

SO VERY!

[peckish4action]

That she does! Not very actively right now, but when she's pointed in the right direction, she sticks to the threads pretty well.

You?

It felt right to throw him here

[captainprecious]

Same here, actually. She usually throws me in the cutesy ones, which.. I don't really mind actually. Kinda nice! Though I still never met my idle in one. Not yet anyway.

[here_take_this]

You could say up late. I'm going to blame it on the game my mun has me in. Sleeping is dangerous there right now.

What about you, you don't sound much older than I am. Shouldn't you be in bed?

I love it!

[peckish4action]

Good. She gives us a share of ouch, but nothing we can't handle. ... or we won't have to handle.

*beat. who-- OH! Right.*

I don't think many people play him, actually. Many love him, but he's not easy to portray right?

[captainprecious]

He is pretty amazing, that's true. I bet he'd be flattered if someone played him though!

[peckish4action]

Bats'n'Birds are nocturnal. Crimefighting, you know? Can't do it in the light of day.

[peckish4action]

Uh-huh! Especially if they don't make him do things that he wouldn't.

*Billy how can you be so adorable stoppit (no, don't stop.)*

I'll keep my eyes open!

[captainprecious]

[ He can't stop it. Someone pressed his adorable switch and it got jammed so now it can't turn off. ]

... Hey wait! I was trying to make you feel better and then you go and make me feel better instead.

[here_take_this]

Isn't that a little dangerous though? [So says a girl who spent three days crawling around Raccoon's police department air vents and the sewers.]

And wouldn't your parents worry?

[peckish4action]

*(SO TRUE) laughs* Didn't you know that's how it works? Like, positive feedback. Do something good and it bounces right back at you!

*some of the time and in a perfect world, but, hey, it does, occasionally, work?*

[peckish4action]

I'm both well-trained and experienced - somebody has to do it, why not people who know the job?

*... oh.*

They probably would have.

[captainprecious]

... [ He grins at that. ]

Hey, I guess your right! Though it doesn't always happen so fast.

[peckish4action]

Benefits of dealing with professionals?

*beat.*

... why were you feeling bad?

[captainprecious]

It's... not really that important.

[here_take_this]

Good point.

[She notes the pause]

At least they would have taken notice. Mine don't care unless it's something with a petri dish.

[peckish4action]

*blink, and there's Robin right by Billy's side, one hand on his arm*

Okay. But if you change your mind and don't have anyone to talk to, I'm around, k?

[captainprecious]

Hey, that's real nice of you! I'll make sure to go to you if it gets worse.

[peckish4action]

*small smirk* I've been working on it for a while.

*annnd. Frowns.*

I'm sorry to hear that. But it's... Maybe you'll find other people who do care? I mean, maybe you already have. If your parents really don't, it will probably be easier to not expect it of them and... find a different kind of a family.

[peckish4action]

Good. I mean, the hero gig? It can get kind of lonely sometimes. But that doesn't mean it's a really alone job, okay?

*not that he has to point that out to Batman... repeatedly... in some versions of reality or anything.*

[themanoftomorrow]

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your shot soon enough.
