Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
  • Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
  • When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
  • Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
  • Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
  • Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

Is something wrong?

I have a hard time believing Dick could hate you. Ever.



[ Scalding fights.
Physical separation.
Running away.
Saying it.

Yes.

She's seen those.
Lived them.


(The same as living them coming back together.
No matter how long it took.
They needed each other.
Loved each other.)



But actual hate?

No. ]

We don't see eye to eye anymore.

But I did not write this.


[ Did Bruce believe it? To some degree, yes. And it's not entirely without merit. Their relationship had been rocky by the time he quit being Robin and moving to Bludhaven only gave Bruce the excuse not to fix things. They stagnated, drifted apart. The bridge is burned and Bruce hasn't been in a mood to fix it in decades.

Hate is a strong word, but not necessarily an inaccurate one. ]

I should hope not.

[ It's a little more brusque, a little more immeadiate than normal, but with dick around here to clarify that's an error—even as their very worst, when they can't be in the same room, no less the same city, and she's torn between on the line of Barbara and Oracle—well. Someone has to do it. (For both their sake.) ]

What's happened in your time?

[ He almost doesn't answer. It's a history he's not very interested in rehashing. The bots have put him in an awkward position. ]

I made mistakes, Barbara.

Such a

[ She writes it and then she deletes it. Taps a finger on her desk.
It's not a question—or an answer, no doubt—for public consumption.

Especially not for Bruce. Who didn't choose to write it.



Still, she stares at the words.
And it's not only for Dick's sake.


It never is.

More circumspectly. ]


You know I want to ask, right?
her_own_rules: Bruce, Babs (Will You Answer Tho)

[personal profile] her_own_rules 2025-06-11 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I might sometime.

[ She's honest. She always was with Bruce. At home.
Batman Jr. hadn't seemed to appreciate that.

And yet, Dick had come back with more memories.
(Before he'd been pulled away entirely.)

Told her about them working side-by-side,
while he stepped in as Nightwing, and
Dick went to Nanda Parbat.

It's hard not to miss some part of that.
The respect. The faith. The remainder of it.

God. She's been here so long, and she misses them.
Her family. Bruce. Dick being there, keeping her lighter in it.



She looks at her three words again. ]



But never like this.

[ It is never more clear to him how badly he's failed when he's presented with the reality that there is some version of Dick out there who leaves, but always finds his way back. A version where Bruce didn’t have to spend all those years alone.

It makes him envious. Just a little. What did these other Bruces do that he hadn't? ]


Leave it alone, Barbara. It's over.

[ Barbara presses her lips. Anything more and it will be more having the conversation via having a conversation about the reason they will have the conversation. And that's still labeled under "not here."

So. Barbara, without agreeing, returns instead. ]



How different is your mansion from the Manor here?
knightowl: (010)

[personal profile] knightowl 2025-06-13 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. I haven't been to the manor here.

[ Bruce so far has refused to set foot on any of the Wayne adjacent properties here. He's been to the Tower exactly twice and only stayed long enough to check on the others post-mission. Any other time he can be found in his apartment and that's exactly how he prefers it. ]
her_own_rules: Babs (pic#16521217)

[personal profile] her_own_rules 2025-06-13 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Not even once?

[ It's literally where everyone else happens to be. Except, apparently, both Bruce's. (And. Well. Her and Dick until mostly recently.) Which is a little cumbersomely both expected, and frustrating, and ... deeply, personally, concerning. Bruce Wayne is never at his best alone. ]

You're missing out on the menagerie.
