How does Damian feel about Oriya after the cleaning post?

[goddamnbatsperm]

He mostly thinks that Oriya missed the point of his civil disobedience entirely, but he took note of the fact that Oriya doesn't disrespect him, so there may be some amended interactions going forth. Damian just wasn't ready to acquiesce in that situation; he doesn't think Oriya understands why he was so upset about cleaning, but then again, I don't think Damian realized it fully.

What about Oriya and Damian?

[hidesthebodies]

Well, Oriya mostly thinks that Damian missed the point behind the cleaning, so I think they're even. He is maybe growing to be a little fonder of Damian, even if he won't admit it entirely yet. He also took note that Damian wasn't as horribly rude to him, this time.

Why was Damian so upset about cleaning?

[goddamnbatsperm]

Damian is, in my view, totally terrified quite a bit. His life is like... raised by people not his mother for eight years; introduced to his mother and hung out with her for two years; gets shipped to dad for the sole purpose of screwing up his life; dad dies disappears and he's left with people he doesn't know well and who don't understand him. He's completely lost in the water because everything he's been taught is completely wrong, so he's having to relearn how to do everything in his life with people he doesn't feel inherent loyalty to (though they grow on him).

Add camp to that, where he loses any status he had at home by being the son of Batman/Bruce Wayne/Talia and everyone thinks he's an adorable little joke, and he can't take it. They only thing he has at all is his reputation and lineage, and the former is completely gone in camp, and the latter (including the status that comes with it) is being threatened by doing something he's never been asked to do in his life. Cleaning is what servants are for. He doesn't mean that

Tim threatens that existence, but that is another essay entirely

Oh, don't tempt me like that.

[goddamnbatsperm]

OH, WELL, IF YOU INSIST.

So, Damian al Ghul? Damian Wayne? I think Damian is a name he's very comfortable with, but he's straddling two distinct worlds with his last name(s). He's not quite an al Ghul because he wants to be a Wayne, and he's not quite a Wayne because he used to be an al Ghul and it's this probably constant tension at work. What he wants versus who he has been made to be.

But, if what he wants is to be a Wayne, and there's already someone they consider a son, then he's not sure there will be a place for him. I imagine that was his reasoning for being so aggressive to Tim in the first place. Dick is old and doing his own thing, but Tim... he still has a very viable chance of being favored over Damian, especially since, you know, he has time and exposure on his side

[watchingthegame]

Not so much! It's interesting to see how Damian responds to them . . . but they also seem to make Damian more difficult to deal with, at times. Although, he did find himself agreeing with Red Robin a lot. >>

How would Damian react to finding out that Muraki has a fiance?

[goddamnbatsperm]

Oh, he'd burst out laughing. And then realize that people weren't joking and ask a million incredulous questions.

If/when Damian finds out about Muraki, will Oriya react at all? What's his opinion of Muraki being outed?

[hidesthebodies]

. . . this is encouragement to genderswitch Oriya again.

This is a tough one, because a lot of it depends on how it happens and if Oriya has to deal with the fall-out directly. If Damian confronts him, Oriya won't deny anything. In fact, he'd confirm anything that Damian managed to learn, but wouldn't add any details. He will not explain or justify Muraki's or his own actions. Oriya is never happy about Muraki being outed, but . . . he'll deal. Oriya cleans up after Muraki in the real world, but he can't really do that here.

How will DAMIAN react if/when he finds out about Muraki?

[goddamnbatsperm]

Damian will go around trying to confirm it and then probably berserk at Muraki, to the detriment of his personal safety. IT'LL BE EXCITING AT LEAST. He might totally lose it, ashamed that he even associated with someone like that. Shame makes him violent.

:D

I'm okay with gender switching ;Db
