On Events At Valar Tonight/This Morning

[not_speedy]

First of all, thank you. I think the last couple weeks really, REALLY proved that I didn't belong there, and when you saw a way to let me go out with appropriate fanfare and melodrama that showcased the awesome stuff I've taught you about writing in the last year and a half...you went for it and you made it epic and awesome as you could.


I guess I kinda feel bad for Ollie, since you made him have to take me down and everything, and to go back to the rest of the mission group all relatively normal whilst carting my corpse around and everything but, you know. It'll be as good for him as it will be for me. We need to not be in the same game with each other and I need to be in a game with one of the "adults" who are still adults to ME, preferably an Ollie or Dinah, but I'll take anybody really, who is willing to sit me down for a really, really long time and help me work through the clone stuff, the abandonment and attachment issues, and everything else, before I try to be anywhere anything like normal again.

You did the right thing letting me go, and I'm glad you gave Ollie the closure HE needed after all. He deserved that after all he's tried to do for me and I think this way, he'll have peace a lot sooner.



For a situation that took you by surprise when the first season ended and I was already in a game, you've done incredibly well handling me, my moods and everything else. Moving forward, after I've had, maybe the summer, to relax, I'd rather go somewhere totally canon next time. Turns out I really need my 'family' around.

...

You do know you're always welcome around here, right?

[not_speedy]

Dude, you're part of the reason I realized I deserve better. I kinda figured.

[peckish4action]

[...]

In which case I'm only sorry that you had to go through that to get out.

Beer?

[not_speedy]

Hey, it took convincing darling munnie too.

Beer'd be awesome right now.

[peckish4action]

What does your mun think about it?

Right-o, that-a-way!

[Dick would have suggested something stronger, but the last thing (or maybe first thing?) Roy needs right now is to watch one (1) Nightwing get sloshed and embarrass himself and have to deal with him.]

[not_speedy]

She figured she could fix it by playing armchair shrink again. Which, hey, i get muns want to help but there's a point you have to deal with facts and not the rest of it.

But, I feel a whole lot better now than I actually have in months, and it's not just cause I was right and she was wrong. [Okay that's PART of it because power struggles and Roy, any Roy, are gonna happen but...]

Sounds like a plan.

[Hey, that definitely sounds like it's the first thing! Still...]

[peckish4action]

Right. Yeah, sometimes there are facts, and dealing with them isn't easy, but it's - necessary. Does she have any plans, now, or just relaxing a bit from it all?

[Dick's mouth quirks.] 'course it's not just because of that - and I'm glad things are feeling better already. Now we've gotta figure out how to keep them getting better yet!

[Annnnd smirk.] I've got a plan. Everything's gonna be fine. In theory.

[... maybe some meme somewhere. Some day. Possibly.]

[not_speedy]

See yeah. The fact is I got pretty messed up and then even more so. We're probably going to give me a couple months to get my head a little more together then game shop around.

Two gingers in an epic standoff of mun versus muse. [Roy's smirking a little here.] It maybe was a little portion of it but... I'd definitely be into keeping things awesome.

Plan? From you. Do I wanna hear this?

[Memes would be good. Roy could totally do memes.]

[peckish4action]

Yeah. Good call. If you wanna talk about any of it... or try to beat some of it into sparring or something, I'm here.

... okay, yep. [Dick glares over his shoulder.] Yeah, yeah, I know about me and redheads, mun, you don't have to go on and on about it. Honest. This is something else!

Anyway! [Chipper!] Of course you do! Beer, remember?

[sciencewhizard]

Hope you're including me in that "family," oh buddy, oh pal of mine.~ [ Grin. ]

I mean, who else're you gonna trust more to watch your back?

[not_speedy]

You and Robin more than anybody else, trust me. You're the annoying little brothers I never had (I HOPE I never had. I don't wanna imagine more MES out there that I don't know about. That's scary) . Not that you're allowed to embarass me in front of dates or anything but...

[sciencewhizard]

Yeah, I think one of you's perfectly enough.

Hah, what, I'm not allowed to tell stories about the hat?

[not_speedy]

The hat is... shall remain a deep dark secret. For ever.

[sciencewhizard]

Pft, I liked it. Kinda distinguishing on ya.

[not_speedy]

You're about to get it, you know. [He's not grinning or anything. Really.]

[sciencewhizard]

Yeesh. A guy tries to be funny and lighten the mood...

[not_speedy]

You know that I have absolutely no sense of humor, don't you? [And Roy's fondly slapping Roy upside the back of the head lightly] None of this works on me.

[sciencewhizard]

[ Wince. Cripes. ]

Yeah, I can see that... But I guess I can't blame you. The little you's a brat without a single funnybone in his body.

[not_speedy]

[Hey, he wasn't trying to make it THAT hard. Really. It was a gesture of love. As much as Roy's gonna admit to that.]

That was pretty much me when i was his age too. I mean uh... Actually this is where the pronouns get weird. And timing. But that sounds...well, like an us thing. I'm literally wired that way. I guess I had to be pretty intense.

[sciencewhizard]

"Had to be." [ Sigh. A roll of the eyes, and yeah yeah, Wally gets that it's all out of love. ]

At least Lian's someone in your family that smiles now and then.

[not_speedy]

Lian...I'm kinda hoping we'll end up with a game where she's a possibility for me. [Roy's grinning at the mention of Lian anyway. So there's that.]

[sciencewhizard]

I hope so too, buddy. You're good with her.

[not_speedy]

Well I try. Or well I want to try since I haven't gotten to be around one yet. But hey, the IDEA of her got me cleaning up my life enough, so...

[sciencewhizard]

Just make sure she knows her Uncle Wally'll give her all the ice cream she wants if she's a good girl like she always is.~

[not_speedy]

First thing I'll pass on. Swear.
