canon review is a go!

[robinred]

( Mundane, you're insane. You made a post to this same community only a few days ago. Nobody needs to know what you've been up to. Nobody cares. There has got to be some unspoken rule that says you can't post to d_m just because you're bored.

You have work to be doing.

And Tim was under the impression he was easy to forget. )

You got your hands on the books. Should I be saying congratulations?

I can say it if you won't.

[robinred]

She shouldn't be encouraged.

[sibylline]

In principle, that's true. In practice, Tim — wherever you go? Whatever you end up doing?

It's going to be better than where you are now.

[robinred]

She's barely begun the reading and she's already plotting things for when she's done. ( He doesn't believe you, Babs.

But. But okay, maybe Babs was just trying to help and maybe Tim now feels a little bad for snapping. ) But I'll hold you to it. ( Which sounds so incredibly dry. )

[sibylline]

Let her. We're not here only to be messed around with. There's something about each of us they want in particular, and for you, well, it just about has to be resilience. I know because I'm there, when it's better, so don't give me that tone of voice, mister.

[She's just as dry.]

[plains_hunter]

Looks like a lot of reading, ahead.

[robinred]

If anything it'll buy me some time.

[plains_hunter]

What do you mean? At least you'll be active.

[robinred]

What if I told you I'd rather be left alone?

[plains_hunter]

How long are you gonna' play the sad sack, kid? Whatever it is, get over it. Move on. Stop moping around like it'll change anything. Look at me, even I'm trying to move forward. Mun's trying to stick me in Cape and Cowl.

[haveyoumetmyttk]

I wish my mun would get on that. She's too busy reading up on the new version of myself's stuff. [Looks beyond annoyed.]

[robinred]

Mine hasn't even done that. ( Maybe if she would stake out a shop near her, he wouldn't have to deal with this mess. )

[haveyoumetmyttk]

He gets to go somewhere I'm stuck in the stupid memes she sends me to. Seriously, dude, go along with your mun and look for a place. Memes are the worst.

[robinred]

She has this other guy up in a spaceship. ( Based on the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Tim kind of wishes he could geek out about that. But he won't. ) It'll be a few months before she scopes out a place for me to stay.

And I know memes. I'm trying to keep her away.

[haveyoumetmyttk]

Good luck with that. They are, uh, not all bad. [Awkward shift and then quickly clears his throat.] I mean, some of them are sweet. Really sweet, if you know what I mean.

[Pauses and snickers.] Except you probably don't. Others are a lot more lame and stupid.

[flyingg]

Could be worse reasons for congrats.

[robinred]

( He takes a deep breath. ) I'm not doubting that.

[flyingg]

Uhoh. Let me guess what you're thinking of.

[robinred]

I'm not in the mood for games.

[flyingg]

*sighs, the joy of seeing Tim draining away* Some of it does get better, you know. Keep that in mind.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Oh, you're just doomed little bro.

[robinred]

Ha-ha. ( Look who's laughing:

Nobody! ) And don't call me that.

[robin_under_the_hood]

Why not? I thought it was preferable to Timmy. Or Drake. Or the worst Robin.

[robinred]

( Really fucking cute, Todd. ) Remind me why you're here, other than to be the pinnacle of maturity?

[robin_under_the_hood]

Encouragement or something lame like that.

[Grins.]
