[ The image that resolves is one of a young man wearing a blue domino mask. His smile is friendly and warm as he lifts a hand in a wave hello.

It's just also largely covered by a thick black beard. (He has at least trimmed it, but it's going nowhere anytime soon.]


Hi, everyone.

We all know we're probably heading into a new mission soon, and at this point we've spent a lot of time working together and learning about each other. I know we'd all like to be able to plan ahead, but without knowing what the mission will be until it comes, the only way to get started is to figure out what kind of assets and abilities we have available.

If you're willing, check in and let everyone know what skills, talents, powers, or other abilities you have.

No one has to participate. But if we all can get a better idea of what we can do, we can try to plan ahead, form teams between people with complementary abilities.

I'll start: hi, I'm Nightwing, and while I'm a normal powerless human, I can offer hand to hand combat, acrobatic, and detective skills, and — uh —

[ He looks over his shoulder, at something or someone off-camera. ]

Hi, Robin. Care to introduce yourself and your abilities to the nice people?

You should learn to manage on your own as well.

[And there's the sass.]

If we're equating effort, I'll strive to make sure I'm putting forth at least a summary paragraph's worth.

Thankfully, I've been blessed to do just fine on my own too. I appreciate your concern, kiddo.
brat: (you make everything okay.)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-18 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Don't call me "kiddo".
brat: (all around me.)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-18 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
A short summary of almost a year's worth of handling missions. Are you aware of how many individuals have been here since the beginning? It isn't many.

[personal profile] cantilevers 2025-01-18 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
You got it, kid!

[Sorry, he doesn't know about emoji's yet.]
brat: (17087425)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-18 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'll end you.
cantilevers: (131)

[personal profile] cantilevers 2025-01-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't be the first to tell me that, champ.
brat: (17633064)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
You realize what you're starting, yes?

Are you certain you want to continue this?
cantilevers: (89)

[personal profile] cantilevers 2025-01-18 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
A conversation, yes. That's what normal people do.

I'm happy to continue as long you would like to, boyo.

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-01-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not aware of how many. You, obviously.

[Researching that on the network would be a lot more complicated, and involve checking to see if the people who posted then are still physically present now.]

What do you want me to say? Promise you I'll do my best?

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-19 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I am going to find you. And I will make you regret your usage of childish nicknames.
brat: (17251418)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-19 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

( he could demand more. ask for a favor in return for information, but damian has already freely given it. and regardless, he's certain anything jayce can manage, his family can too. )
cantilevers: (40)

[personal profile] cantilevers 2025-01-19 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want my current location or is the hunt more exciting for you?

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-01-19 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I thought it'd be apparent I'd be doing that.

[He doesn't want to fail. Not when there's so much at stake and not when they don't know what consequences happen if he does. If all of them do.

But the fact that's all he's being asked for— to do his best— is such a humble request from someone with clearly such high standards. Jayce exhales a quiet huff of amusement.
]

But fine. I promise.
brat: (17087436)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-20 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'll find you myself.
brat: (better run and hide.)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-20 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

( whether it's for talis' sake or damian's, he doesn't specify. that detail is unnecessary; talis doing well may or may not benefit damian, but there's an entire world depending on him, and damian intends to keep every universe from falling, if he can. even if it means dragging this man through every trial and tribulation etraya throws at them. )

I will hold you to that.

[personal profile] cantilevers 2025-01-20 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, see you soon, wee youngster.

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-01-20 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[At least something satisfied that kid, even if it's yet another promise. He can keep this one, can't he?]
arach_kid: (Chat)

[personal profile] arach_kid 2025-01-21 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Which half?

[He pauses for effect]

I kid, I kid. You don't want to talk about it, we don't have to talk about it.

Anything you do wanna talk about? I'd ask how you got into the superhero biz, but I know that one's a minefield.

[ There's that word again: friend. It's strange and surreal, but not unwelcome. Friends. Why is she always surprised? ]

Of course, I am! I mean, I just- I never want to assume anything, is all? So I tend to think other people don't consider me a friend until they say so, like. Now! So.

Thanks. I do appreciate it, really. Maybe not on here, but- I can show you me sometime. Like, me without the human glamour.

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-28 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha. I'm well-aware you are not that ignorant, and even if you had been, you wouldn't be stupid enough to announce it.

( it doesn't take much for damian to get a relatively well read on others. and she seems like the sort who intentionally wears her strength in a way others would be able to easily pick up on it. )

No shit. You've figured me out.

[ Ah, the sarcasm. Look, it was so obvious. Even having him point it out seems like a huge waste of breath. ]

Did you ever consider that I might enjoy the peace and quiet of not being bothered for two seconds?
brat: (17093404)

[personal profile] brat 2025-01-29 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
You came to me first.
