a good start.

[beknighted]

If you're sure, then there's not much I can say to stop you. I will say that my icons are all pretty grim. ... Keywords aside. If you're going to be as kind as to avoid having me wear the cowl, maybe you should invest in some less tragic expressions. I make those every now and then, you know.

And, sure, I'll express gratitude for not choosing the artistically crafted username of "diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick." Thank you. Very kind. I appreciate it.

And here I thought being dark and brooding was what you lot were known for.

[beknighted]

You're definitely what springs to mind when I think "laugh riot," myself.

[plains_hunter]

Ouch. Now that's just hitting below the belt. However will I recover from your scathing verbal wit. I've been called worse, by better.

[aceofkillers]

Yeah well, doom an' gloom are kinda the Gotham mindset, ain't they? It's no surprise you wind up catching it eventually.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why you changed outta the disco suit.

[beknighted]

Is that really how you'd describe yourself, Mr. Monaghan?

Let's just say there were a few factors in that decision.

[aceofkillers]

Yeah, 'samatterafact. I may not be one'a the "blacker than the blackest black times infiniteeee" crowd, but there's monsters enough on the streets that I got no illusions about the way the world works. Just gotta play the hand you're dealt, right?

[It's really too bad he doesn't know this is the same guy as the Robin in the spanky pants, right now.] I bet. Too bad, I bet your hot alien girl loved the hell outta that thing.

[robinred]

( DID YOU KNOW THAT being a muse means doing things you would much rather not do, but now have no say in because of a "mundane"? Very realy fact that Timmy is starting to re-figure. He'd rather not respond, but

Uh

Are you alright, when are you from, Dick hello it's me again )

Where's Damian?

[beknighted]

[Dick is so familiar with that, in an admittedly limited amount of ways, but ways of potent embarrassment nonetheless.]

... what are you wearing?

[Answer: standing on the precipice of horrors. Despite that one icon.]

As for Damian, didn't Talia take him?

[robinred]

( funny. That answers his questions. )

What, you've never seen it before? ( the costume, of course. Multiverse is totally a thing. That said, there's some strain in with the idea of keeping conversation with Dick. Even if it wasn't his, to say. ) I saw him a while back. I just thought he'd get to you first.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Oh look, another one. I wonder just how many of you there are Dick? I mean, there are infinite universes right, so are there an infinite number of you?

I wonder what the version of you from a universe without shrimp would be like?

But anyways, you should be glad to be able to stretch your legs a bit. And get on your mun about those icons. I mean really, you make great faces in your sleep!

[beknighted]

[With a total lack of enthusiasm—]

Oh hi, Jason. You know, I'd never stopped to think about the effect shellfish had on my development as a person, but I'll be sure to do that soon. But thanks, that's you all over. Always bringing the A game when it comes to making me think.

I'm sorry, he just likes to troll all the Dicks ^^;;

[robin_under_the_hood]

I try, Dick, really I do.

Still shirking off being Bats I see. Shame.

[precocialghul]

Shouldn't that excessive number of tragic expressions be saved for someone more akin to Todd or Drake?

[beknighted]

... what are you wearing? Crap, I'm way behind, aren't I.

[precocialghul]

Guess you are. I'm wearing my Robin suit. You did, or do, make me your Robin.

[cowled]

[oops suddenly a dadbat.

Tho Bruce's expression is the same surly 'DO IT BETTER, GOSH' scowl that it always is.]

Hh. Grim's always been my job.

[It's as close to humour as he ever gets. And basically just code for 'hi'.]

[beknighted]

Believe me, I'm more than willing to leave it to you.

[Given when he just figured out from Tim and Damian, there's something a bit disengaged in what's an otherwise typical response, but... what does it matter? If it happens, it happens.]

[cowled]

[Which he of course notices. It's more of a 'world's greatest detective' thing than a 'father of the year' thing, though. Given Bruce's track record with the latter.

His eyes narrow briefly, speculative.]

You performed adequately in the role. If you're curious.

[If given the choice, Bruce would have preferred that the cowl never would have gone to Dick. But the Batfam has a history of doing what's necessary, and in Darkseid's wake...

Mm. 'Necessary'.]

Behold, my insane AU where Harry Potter was raised as Dick Grayson

[dickandharry]

I dunno. I think "holy(insert bad pun of your choice)batman" would've been even worse.

[wholenewstory]

[Cass is just studying him, clearly concerned.]

[beknighted]

[Dick offers her a tentative smile, studying her right back, though he can't hope to achieve her level of insight in that respect. She makes him uncertain, and concerned; woven in with that is some guilt. He hasn't been the "brother" to her he's been to Tim, he knows that.]

Hey, stranger. Been a while.

[wholenewstory]

[Cass nods, smiling slightly.]

Yes. I...

It's good. To see you.

[In some ways. In others, it's - difficult. Her own guilt makes her smile falter.]

When - are you from?

[t_t_k]

I'm almost feel like there should be some kind of counting Dicks drinking game.

Hey.

[beknighted]

I'll leave the marketing of that amazing idea to you. Don't sprain anything working more puns in.

Hi, very much alive guy. Good to see you.

[t_t_k]

I'm kinda thinking I'm a little like a cockroach. Well, a good looking cockroach.
