( generally speaking when robin addresses - anyone else, he doesn't bother with anything other than text. audio can be efficient, but video is overkill.

in this case?

he's visibly sitting at a very nice kitchen counter, nicer than one would find in the apartments, with his boots resting up atop it. on his lap is an upside down helmet, and over the red tunic that's customary for robin is a leather jacket that is obviously several sizes too big for him. not that he seems bothered. quite the opposite: robin looks all too pleased with himself. and while the hand slung around the helmet is wrapped in a green ulnar gutter splint that blends in well with his gloves, the other? is holding onto a handgun with a spoon duct taped to the barrel.

which he is using to eat cereal out of the (plastic lined, with an actual bowl inside of it) hood.

like this is a completely ordinary way to eat cereal and a completely normal way to choose to post to etraya's network. )

There are a significant amount of individuals present who have metahuman abilities, yes? By that I mean anything more than what an average, ordinary human being could accomplish. While I am sure this functions well for you on a daily basis - the missions Aurora assigns to us can cause. . . hiccups in these abilities. Given the pattern that has been established by previous missions, I would estimate that the upcoming one may be more physically and mentally taxing. Often times, these missions do cause abilities to fluctuate and I can't imagine that would be good for anyone who is more accustomed to healing instantaneously or tolerating getting hit by moving busses as if it's nothing.

( a wave of the gun-spoon, before damian shoves it back into the bowl for another bite of cap'n crunch cereal. because it's delicious. )

My point being - regardless of one's starting point, being prepared for anything that may come is essential to not dying here. If you are a metahuman who is accustomed to being able to handle more than others, I would recommend focusing on training yourself to be able to handle anything that may come your way, with or without those abilities. If you have no self-defense training at all, I would get on that.

( another bite, and - oops, is that milk on his face? don't mind him as he uses this very nice leather jacket to wipe it off. )

And if you need assistance, there are several capable individuals here who are used to going up against impossible odds without any metahuman talents who would be willing to help. Red Hood may be a decent starting point.

would you shut the the fuck up for once in your fucking life

Do you want to keep all your fingers attached?

Hey.

Little dude, that's not what guns are for, a' right? You can't eat with it without it pointing at something it shouldn't.

[brat]

I know what they're for.

( even if he's certainly not even making any kind of attempt to hold it properly currently. don't worry about it. )

This one is unloaded and cleaned. It isn't going to hurt anything more than an ordinary spoon would.

What brought on this cry for attention?

[brat]

The warning is legitimate.

The rest, you'll see.

I'm going to assume that Red Hood is a code name like Spider Man, but it's not one I'm familiar with. Either way, I'd like to avoid dying again, so where would you suggest I start?

[Guess who's going to just... use this post for its intended purpose(?) and avoid commenting on the appearance of the child making it.]

[brat]

For a cheerleader? Not Red Hood.

( nightwing would likely be the ideal, but - )

I can work with you.

Action

[Nope. Jason's not wasting his time with texting. He's done enough for this time. Guess who's charging straight to the kitchen with his spare helmet on]

[brat]

( luckily for everyone involved, he was expecting this.

red hood bursts into the kitchen, and robin pauses to take yet another bite of cereal while maintaining eye contact, because why not. )

Hood.

You should try playing catch with him next time.

Noted.

Why do you have a spoon taped to that gun?

[brat]

I needed something to go with the bowl.

You appear far too young to be the one here giving such advice.

[brat]

My age is hardly relevant. We were all brought here for the same thing, and my advice is sound.

[photosympathies]

( He genuinely prefers to come across as nothing more than a normal human being, but being ignorant doesn't sound very safe. Maybe he can work around it. )

Does it ever go the opposite way? People with abilities suddenly having them out of their control? Or is it always an absense? Asking for a friend.

[brat]

There were missions where nonmetahumans were granted abilities, but none in which those in possession of their own were "overloaded" by default.

What are you afraid will happen?

Uh...I'm hoping you were including yourself in the whole 'accustomed to being able to handle more than others', because while we don't have guns where I come from, I have been given a demonstration on what they do, you probably don't want to eat with that unless you're immune to bullets.

[brat]

I would not have one near my mouth if I was not certain it would not harm me.

It's a splint, idiot.
It isn't meant to be signed.

Red Hood? Gee, wonder what his costume looks like.

Anyway, you should make videos teaching people how to defend themselves.

[brat]

Videos are, for the most part, entirely useless. I prefer to focus on the individuals I am working with rather than offer generic support.

Good advice, although I am questioning your, uh... choice of utensils?

[brat]

It was meant as a jest.
