1/3 ; not here yet xuffasch September 14 2011, 01:47:40 UTC

( glancing at communicator--wait what's that? )

xuffasch September 14 2011, 01:48:39 UTC

( and crash. because he was swinging onto a building and just slammed into the roof. )

Sir.

[ ... You're so lucky that was offline because that is not a good first impression to make my dear.

Anyway. ]

Damian. [ Not Robin. This is significant. ]

( damian switches to voice, a little affronted. there's a brief pause before he answers, his voice stiff. )

Welcome back.

Hh.

Tell me what you know about the Joker situation.

[ What is family. What is not-business. He has shit to do.

Even though he's still not sure if everything is real yet welp. ]

( for the briefest moment he considers hanging up, because he feels so insulted and daddy why don't you love him but then he just shrugs, which is probably evident in the tone of his voice. )

He's been making a nuisance of himself ever since he got here. He was recently exposed to...something and attacked the school for imPorts.

He killed one of the senior faculty earlier today.

( a minute later there's a carefully organizes text file of everything that's been going on. )

[ Oh, babby. He doesn't know what to do with you. The last time he met you was so long ago, and he still sees you as Talia. Not just Talia's son, but Talia herself, with all the betrayals attached.

But your answer, and the lack of insults towards anyone else, the lack of threats- it's surprising him even though he knows this is what he should expect. He's seen you, on the network, but it's so unreal. ]

What have been done? [ So he reverts back to business. ]

( last time you were here the two of you talked all of once, and the rest of the time you avoided him. it has given damian a lot of complex emotions. )

A number of heroes are on the scene. Catwoman among them.

...we have not been as blunt in our approach.

( he means he and dick, of course.

oh and up there pretend that it's "one of the senior faculty was killed". since it wasn't the joker, welp. )

[ Which puzzles him, because there is change, and when there is change, he wants to see. Or has Dick made his claim? Has he changed as well, and taken Damian's traits into himself?

He can guess. Damian is wearing Robin's suit, and Dick has been seen as Batman. Two plus two equals four and a pissed Batman. ]

Elaborate?

voice; encrypted. xuffasch September 14 2011, 04:02:56 UTC

( damian is about to say that he has no more intel, but then he realizes that's not what bruce means. and this confuses him. )

Batman and Robin, obviously.

You knew last time you were here--you were further ahead than either of us.

( his father not being entirely omniscient gives him at once feelings of triumph and panic. it's a weird blend. )

voice; encrypted. kingofrooks September 14 2011, 04:22:15 UTC

I already know that.

[ Flatly. ]

I meant your approach.

[ Dick will know that he doesn't remember, now, and he's not exactly the same man. Eventually Damian will know, too. ]

voice; encrypted. xuffasch September 14 2011, 04:30:23 UTC

What do you think we've been doing?

Working on a cure for the Joker's venom, obviously.

( impatience is met with more impatience. damian is more like his father than either of them realize. )

voice; encrypted. kingofrooks September 14 2011, 04:48:05 UTC

You're not trying to find him. [ Flatly. ] Or what he's looking for.

This isn't his usual mode of operations. He's looking for something.

[ He's starting to see.

This is why them working together is a hideous idea. ]

There are people under the delusion that they are supervillains. In a school. Would you rather we just ignored that fact?

voice; encrypted. kingofrooks September 14 2011, 05:08:00 UTC

In a school with a man who can control metal, and a telepath, not to mention countless metas.

Gotham is always the priority. Without Gotham, then Gotham's people.
