dusting off an old favorite

[robinred]

Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but just don't.

With this canon point you've singled out-- this isn't going to work in anyone's favor. You haven't picked me up in well over a year. You forgot about me. . . .That's fine. But don't you think you can just waltz back and take control. It doesn't work that way.

I believe when it comes to mundanes there are two facts.

One; They can do this whenever they want.

and two; Whining like a baby isn't going to do shit.

[robinred]

( First, there's a start. There shouldn't have been one. )

I've had a mundane before. I know how to deal with them.

[precocialghul]

You sure? Is your mun listening to you then?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Tim, I have your membership to the bad Robins club if you're bored.

[Snerk.]

[robinred]

( Thin-lipped silence.

Then: ) I posted to an open network. Of course you'd be here.

Why are you here?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Why...why...? I'm increasingly bored with life and decided to say hello to you. That's why.

Huh, when I put it like that, it does make me sound pathetic. I'll have to fix that.

[spider_kisser]

That's a really nice costume you're wearing. You're not like...that other guy, are you?

[robinred]

Other guy. ( Please, do tell. Because the answer is no, he's not like anybody. ) I don't think so.

[spider_kisser]

That "Robin under the red hood" person. I met him before and he seemed like such a creep. Are you not like that?

[oraclebyproxy]

Sadly, as much as we'd like to think it doesn't work that way?

It does.

Which is a pain because sometimes all you want is to go to Nanda Parbat and heal yourself, but do they let you do that?

Nope. Not a bit.

[robinred]

Nanda Parb--

how do you even think to get there? ( How did you get the map? )

[oraclebyproxy]

Leslie Thompkins.

And with Barbara's blessing.

[plains_hunter]

We don't have much choice in the matter, kid.

[robinred]

I'll convince her this relationship she wants to establish will be in no party's favor. I'll get it through her head. I just need time. It'll work.

[plains_hunter]

Negotiating? With them? You might as well try and fist-fight the tide.

[haveyoumetmyttk]

It sucks but it's how it works. Mun's do whatever it is they wanna do. But hey, I'd rather be here than stuck in my mun's "headspace".

[robinred]

( . . .

this is the sound of shock

and brains breaking

and processing the impossible

and oh yeah. multiverse. )

I- I prefer the headspace.

[haveyoumetmyttk]

Seriously? I have seen the things that muns come up with and..yeah, no thanks.

[Studies him for a few moments.]

Are you okay?

[goodsoldier]

Really? Well, just for shits and giggles, what's your plan to stop them?

[robinred]

( Another one?

--maybe he was going crazy. )

Logic. ( Says the madman. )

[goodsoldier]

[Jason gives Tim this look. It is a look that says even his lowest expectation has not been met.]

Wow, that sounds amazing. Let me guess, is it logic like "sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as quickly as one man, and one man can dig a posthole in sixty seconds, therefore sixty men can dig a posthole in one second"?

[demigoddess]

[ What's that phrase about having nothing nice to say...? ] My mun almost went with the time right after Conner died. Can you believe it?

[ At least Cassie looks like she wish she hadn't said that. she shakes her head. ] Sorry, guess I've got nothing to add other than you're right about those canon points.

[robinred]

Yeah, I can. ( Ask him what he won't believe. The list has gotten wider than he'd like to admit.

Also? He's looking at her in the "I'm looking at the space behind you instead of you" way. She knows how. Tim doesn't think he can be blamed. ) It's nice that you think so. ( Now convince everybody else. )

[ex_nightingaled754]

Uncle Tim!

[robinred]

( This family thing was getting. . . friendlier. ) Uh- hello.
