Voice Test; Reserving @ Exsilium

[ex_graybird839]

 I'm not feeling the aster on this time travel business. Impulse already took a big risk when he tried it, and if I get stranded there too? What then?

We have too many plans in motion right now for me to just disappear.

Oh, lookie here, I spy a Dickie-bird.

'Cause let's pretend he's seeing ghosts.

[ex_graybird839]

...Jason?

X3

[robin_under_the_hood]

That's my name, don't go wearin' it out.

[ex_graybird839]

You- ... You can't be a-

[ And saying it's really almost as bad as reliving the news. ]

[robin_under_the_hood]

Oh, yeah, I'm not dead anymore. What, Brucey didn't give you the memo? That sucks, we really need to work on our family communication.

[ex_graybird839]

He wouldn't- Not this.

How do I know you're not just a Cadmus clone?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Well, you don't. But I promise I'm not.

[ex_graybird839]

Little Wing. I really thought I'd never see you again.

[robin_under_the_hood]

[Laughs.]

Funny how things work out huh? Maybe I should have come to you about my little clown problem?

[ex_graybird839]

Don't- joke about that.

[ Sigh. ]

It was hard on Bruce.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Sure. I'm not saying it wasn't.

But it was hard finding out that that psycho was still alive. Its hard realizing that the man you thought of as a father for years couldn't even break his damned rules to avenge someone he loved.

Think about it, how would you feel?

[ex_graybird839]

Jason... He was broken. For a really long time.

He almost did get revenge.

[ And God knows he thought of it, himself. ]

And if he did, it would have killed him too.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Dick he's a grown man. Killing a piece of trash like the Joker is not the worst thing he'd have ever done.

[ex_graybird839]

We don't kill. That was always the rule. We don't become what we're fighting.

[robin_under_the_hood]

I see no shame in starting out even with the guys we're fighting. Why work twice as hard to survive and hold back?

[ex_graybird839]

...You can't mean that. What's happened to you?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Death isn't a nice thing to come back from Dick.

[ex_graybird839]

I get that. I can't imagine what you went through, but respecting life is what you... all of us, were trained to do.

[robin_under_the_hood]

I'm more worried about actually stopping criminals for good. I'd rather not allow drug dealers get kids hooked. And pimps to nab teenaged girls off the street to help their business.

[ex_graybird839]

So you're alright with just sinking to their level?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Yup. That's pretty much what I just said, isn't it?

[ex_graybird839]

Then you're not the Jason I knew, little bird.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Yeah, I think that other Dick said the same thing. At least you all seem to have your scripts right on that note.

[ex_graybird839]

You're still a part of the family, though. You know that, right?

[robin_under_the_hood]

I think its impossible to get out of this damn family. Especially after you've died.

[He really does love you guys, he just isn't sure he wants to say so.]
