[48] Here we go again

[notarrowette]

[Whoops, thanks to Barron's mind-games and Kirk's disappearance, someone is cranky. And the last time this happened, her mother showed up. :| Which is just what she needs. yesitis]

Oh, not this again. I'm really not in the mood, so Mom, if you're out there again--can we just skip it

Hey stranger, who's on my very private frequency again.

[notarrowette]

Hey kiddo. How's it going?

[failing_civics]

Another exciting night in the big city... Which means the big guy has me on a stake-out again. But I make my own fun. You pick the best nights to turn up on my comm.

[notarrowette]

In other words, you're going out of your mind with boredom, right?

[failing_civics]

Preeeeeeeeeetty much. Hey, you know I took apart my earpiece after our last chat. Nothing wrong with it or anything, so I think it's fair to say that the weirdness is on your end.

[notarrowette]

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. Weird stuff happens here all the time. I spent four days last week as a seven year old, for example.

[failing_civics]

I really don't think I'd like to relive seven. Sounds like the place where you are kind of sucks.

[notarrowette]

It definitely has its moments, but there are good things too. I've got a lot of friends here.

[failing_civics]

Friends are good. I guess maybe they might balance out the whole having to relive being a little kid thing. Still haven't met a you in my world, though.

[notarrowette]

Really? That's too bed. I'd tell you to look her up, but introducing yourself by saying you met an older alternate version from a prison ship in space might not go over very well.

[failing_civics]

[laugh] Yeah, some people might go so far as to call it "creepy." And... they'd probably be right. So I guess I should try to be patient, but man. There is no one my age.

[notarrowette]

Now Robin, I'm sure there are one or two people your age in Gotham.

[failing_civics]

Ha ha, Cissie King-Jones. [See? He remembers your name, too.] There are plenty of them--but none that I wouldn't have to lie to every single day about more than half of my life.

[notarrowette]

I'm... incredibly familiar with that dilemma. But there's still time for you to meet other kids you can talk to without lying.

[Private]

[failing_civics]

[switching to a private channel] Well, I hope so. But I mean... There's no one. And I've been keeping an ear out.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

Well... I can tell you how I met my Tim, if that would help? It was mostly an accident.
