008 | Troubled Minds Get No Rest
[Private | Unhackable]
Too much for one person to deal with. I think that about sums it up.
I believe 'playboy Bruce Wayne' said it best on the first day: if I have this device, I might as well put it to good use. And--I'm pretty confident in my lock-down skills so I do not expect any trouble with someone reading my personal thoughts notes.
Too much--all in a short period of time. Less than a week? For most of it. We were still dealing with Tim's split-personality problem when Dent arrived. As if the former problem was not enough, I had a hard time dealing with Harvey's appearance. And... I missed the finale with helping Tim. I feel as though... I'm not sure. That it was wrong of me to get distracted. That I should have been there. That--
Dent is suspicious. There. I've put it out there. I'm pretty positive that he knows the truth about me. Who I am. Me, myself, and I. The Batman. Bruce Wayne. One-in-the-same. It'll only be a short time before it becomes totally problematic I presume. I am still debating on the cons and pros of just getting it over with, and telling him straight up. He will probably dog me on the subject until otherwise anyway. And I may slip, as tedious as I am. It's--happened before.
Then there was Dick. I don't know what the hell happened there but Nightwing taking on the personality and traits of the Joker is not something I would ever like to deal with see ever again. There were too many people involved, too many people already there for me to get involved as well. Just... too many...
Excuses--I have to stop coming up with them.
What else has happened here? The thief revealed himself to be playing in order to help deal with the 'goddess' crisis. The other would-be large scale crisis was averted some time ago by a small group of individuals. There has been... a lot of things going around the compound lately. I'm only one person; only one person.
Oh, I failed to mention I've been mostly preoccupied in keeping track of Cissie these past few days. Harth. If he ever shows himself he will be sorry. I do not appreciate what Cissie told me about that 'vampire' person. He better stay away from her.
...Robin is still asleep. Persephone is still missing memories. The kid named Duo attacked someone a few nights ago, and he is now missing memories. Barbara--I should check up on her. At least she seems to be doing better with the new roommate to keep her occupied.
I need to find the whereabouts of the Joker when he's not out in public and--do something with him. Plus his allies... what happened to the 'Princess' character? Who are the others exactly? And what are they capable of? This place is almost as large as Gotham.
((Note: Some of the scratch-outs are simply re-typed words/phrases; some are deleted doubts or excuses or other such thoughts; some are spoken sentences that got picked up by the recorder and then deleted when he caught them. Most of them are not readable in the end.))

[switch to voice; caught between morbid amusement and vague concern]
There's a lot going on right now... isn't there? Tim? Dick? Barbara? All of you okay?
Robin is... what's going on... [pause] Persephone?
And Dent--ah, getting along well? Making new friends yet? [chuckling; he's obviously reverting back to teasing and just looking for a conversation with a familiar face]
