[Necoco is looking super fine and cooking some nabe at his place. Rihanna is playing on the radio. Who will make Necoco feel like the only girl in the world?]

[maybe -- just maybe -- the half-costumed vigilante knocking on his door]

[soviet_catboy]

[--aljfksd turns the music off and answers the door. What exactly does "half-costumed" mean?]

Hey. ♥ C'mon in.

[rhymeswithgrim]

[a domino mask is the only indication of Tim being a costumed crime fighter in his spare time. otherwise, he's "normal." gray pants, black sweater, and totally rockin' red converse.]

Thanks.

[soviet_catboy]

I don't think I've ever seen you in that kind of mask, before. I like it.

[Back to the kitchenette with Necoco--there're chairs at the tiny table, though, should Tim care to sit]

[rhymeswithgrim]

Slogging through camp with the entire cape and cowl seemed impractical.

[rolls up his sleeves and moves closer to Necoco instead]

Anything I can help with?

[soviet_catboy]

Actually, if you could stir this, that'd be awesome. [Offers slotted spoon and points to the stew. Gonna cut up these leeks, now~]

So~ How've you been?

[rhymeswithgrim]

[will do his best! ... it's impossible to burn down the kitchen with just a pot of something, right?]

Productive, actually. We're working on developing a filing system that isn't dependent on the English language, just as an exercise.

[soviet_catboy]

Yeah? Do you have to do a lot of filing? I guess I never thought about that, before.

[rhymeswithgrim]

The computers in Gotham have their own algorithms to sort through redundant information and organize crimes, known offenders, uncommon chemical compounds -- anything Batman deemed useful. I could utilize those same programs here, but I've actually spent the bulk of my time here rewriting old code to be more efficient. It's like... spring cleaning, the computer nerd edition.

[stirring around the edges, cutting across the pot every now and then to mix the middle. makes a face.]

Am I even doing this right?

[soviet_catboy]

Makes sense to me. You do have a lot of crap to sort though, huh? Batman's been in the business for so long.

[Almost laughs, definitely smiling] You're fine. We're just about done, anyway.

[rhymeswithgrim]

It smells incredible. Jjigae? Or nabe?

[soviet_catboy]

Nabe, and thank you~ It's fun to make, so.

[rhymeswithgrim]

I usually pacify my Asian hunger pangs with microwave dumplings.

[soviet_catboy]

Speaking of your terrible eating habits--

[Present: bowl of popcorn]

[rhymeswithgrim]

... you're so thoughtful.

[soviet_catboy]

I know.

Also, for some reason they actually had Zesti at the store, so there's that.
