Homeless, maybe looking at Ruby City

[beetlecave]

Okay, okay, so I guess I'm back. Good job, by the way. It only took you what... four years to pull me back out again?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything but you really should clean up in there.

Anyway, what's the plan, boss? Are we going to give this another shot? You really should probably track down my other issues. I'm sure there's been other stuff I've been in. Something about a reboot? What- What's that face for? What did they do?

Do I wanna know?

I hear you're a jerk in it!

TRACI

[beetlecave]

What? Seriously? Am I kicking puppies or pushing old ladies into traffic or something? What the heck is going on?

SUP!!

[dorksbury]

You're a typical no-good brat who isn't all about family! He's totally unattractive to me!

NOT MUCH JUST FLAILING i am sorry if he is rusty weeps

[beetlecave]

[OH SHIT.]

That doesn't sound like me at all! There's got to be body snatchers involved.

[waywardbird]

You're wrapped up in all this reboot bullshit too? [ Jason actually looks surprised. ] I don't even think I've ever seen you before. [ Maybe he needed to branch out of Gotham a little more. ]

[beetlecave]

Apparently. I'm not liking the looks of it so far.

[Pauses. Oh, he doesn't think he knows this guy either.]

Uhh. I ...don't think we've met. Who are you? [Like he's met a whole bunch of superheros yet. He's pretty new to this scene.]</small.

[waywardbird]

Jason Todd. [ Like hell he was telling his kid his other name and if he googled Jason Todd he'd come up with a dead end. The benefits of being dead? ] I stick to Gotham mostly.

What about you, kid?

[beetlecave]

[Well, this guy is either a civilian or he's a cape not real thrilled with giving out his identity. Given that he's 'wrapped up in a reboot' he's going to guess incognito. Which is fine, he didn't know this guy anyway. Maybe Robin did, though, if he was from Gotham.]

Jaime Reyes. El Paso, Texas.

TIME FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF FLAILING ATTEMPTS AT STATIC

[bangbaby]

Jaime, my man, the new 52 is uh... Not exactly your game, yanno?

[beetlecave]

No kidding. What are they doing up there? Getting monkeys to write? Milagro could do a better job than this.

1/2

[bangbaby]

Man, I'm gonna need you to take a second and think about--

2/2

[bangbaby]

On second thought, I'm starting to think you're right. You know they cut off my arm in the first issue?

[beetlecave]

What. Are you for real? How is that necessary?

[third_alternative]

Four years? Man, and I thought the 7 months I've been sitting around doing nothing was torture.

[beetlecave]

Close to that, anyway. I swear I was getting cobwebby.

[third_alternative]

What did you do all that time?

[beetlecave]

Watch. I dunno if you know much about this guy's head, but it's a riot.

Most of them were pretty chill, though, so we hung out.

[motherboxed]

From what my mun has heard, it's probably better you don't know about this whole...reboot thing, Jaime. Trust me. Of course, she is trying to reserve judgement until she perhaps eventually reads it herself, but still.

[beetlecave]

Mine was trying to, but apparently he uncovered some pages and ....iiiit doesn't look good. I think we'll be avoiding that for a while.

[Sigh. Oh well. He brightens up because yay Brenda!]

What are you up to?

[motherboxed]

Mine figures her boyfriend might eventually get them and she can read it then, since he has the pre-reboot stuff with your series at least.

[She shrugs, a small pout at her lips.]

Nothing much. It's...nice and all that she made this journal thing, but she hasn't done much with me yet and doesn't seem to have any plans to take me anywhere besides here and some of those meme things, maybe her musebox.

[beetlecave]

Good luck with that.

Hey, that's something, right? Mine might end up doing the same with me, he's pretty terrible at making up his mind.

[robinred]

Does it matter? [In regards to the reboot stuff. He's not being dismissive, just kind of sounding that way. It's curiosity, honest.] Personally, my mun thinks of the new universe as being entirely separate from ours, not a continuation of it. Same name, [Same body.] different people.

[beetlecave]

The muns just kind of disappointed. When you- am I really your favorite?- have a favorite character get a new title and its not panning out right, then it's kind of a huge bummer.

That's a good way to look at it, though.

[robinred]

[Oh god. How to say My mun's disappointed in you too while hoping it sounds like a compliment?]

[Answer: don't.] I can see that. Really, she hasn't even read any of it. But she says she will later, and she's prepping for it.

[beetlecave]

Good luck. All mine had to do was see a few pages on scans daily and he- how did you put it? Right, right- "noped right the fuck out the window."

How are you doing with that whole thing?
