( Damian is between stages 4 and 5 for the purposes of this post, though the nature of his secrets his making him panic a bit. However, compelled to blurt things out as he is, he's still trying to protect the big secrets. It's not going terribly well. )Honestly, I don’t know why I ever bother talking to you people,

...geez. Your grandfather's kind of a jerk. [understatement of the year]

But, as long as you have a butler, then you should take advantage of that! I mean, that's what they're paid to do, so as long as you have the money, then just let him.

[gotmorbucks]

...you're a what?!

[xuffasch]

I do take advantage of him. I tell him his food is atrocious even though it's far better than anything I ever had with the League.

...a Communist. You know, the Reds? Soviets? Collectivization, no private property, all of it.

[gotmorbucks]

Perfect! You have to keep them on their toes, after all--

If there's one thing that Daddy and being in this town has taught me, it's that communists don't deserve to be running the streets. I should turn you in, you freedom hater! [fulfilling her role as the angriest little capitalist in the world]

[xuffasch]

Yeah, you probably should. Since I'm as Red as they come, despite being the son of one of the richest men on Earth.

( deadpan. )

[gotmorbucks]

...how the heck does that work?

[xuffasch]

Hell if I know. It just does.

[gotmorbucks]

Either way, don't think I'm not going to report you, commie! And you'll see!

[kind of a hollow threat, considering she never even bothered to get his name after all this time, but whatever]

[xuffasch]

Best of luck with that.

( though if she asked now, he'd have to tell her. 8| )

[gotmorbucks]

[hmm, very true]

Ha! Hopefully they'll reward me when I'm able to bring you in! They'll go "Oh Princess, I'm sorry that we've stuck you in here for so long. Thank you for bringing us... uh... us..."

...

Who are you anyway?

[xuffasch]

( damn. direct question. )

Damian Wayne.

[gotmorbucks]

Damian Wayne, huh...

[Wait. Wayne... has a butler... being the son of one of the richest men on earth. Wait, no! That guy never had any kids in the movies that she saw. Or in the cartoons. Well, okay, just the sidekick, but that doesn't count.

...huh!]

Alright, Damian. I'll see to it that you're locked up or hung by your thumbs or whatever they do to communists in this town!

[xuffasch]

You do realize those punishments are more Medieval than Red Scare, right?

( also: totally unconcerned. )

[gotmorbucks]

This town might as WELL be Medieval.

[xuffasch]

You're only off by about five hundred years.

[gotmorbucks]

Just as ancient.
