Hate to break it to you, Bats, but you're back in the land of lesbians. All that crime fighting is gonna have to wait. Again.

Hey, denial usually gets me pretty far. Guess I'm gonna have to teach my body to sleep more than three hours a day. Again.

[alwaysricochets]

Free to deny all you want, I guess, but this place isn't going anywhere.

Three hours? Shit, even I don't have it that bad. Then again, I guess I've got a whole team to split the heavy lifting. You need a few more sidekicks.

The sidekick I have - who, by the way, stole the identity of an old TV character to stalk me - causes me about 60% of my lack-of-sleep problems. I mean, I met him when I stopped him from blowing himself and a train up. I don't think I need any more.

[A small dwarf girl holding a giant red axe a bit taller than her with a few cracks in it walks up to you, tapping the bottom of the axe handle to the ground and smiling smugly.]

Reaping, eh? Do you need a weapon for that?

[Of course she picked up on that part.]

[gravityfists]

Hey. (Oh, man. This is adorable until she chops both my legs off in one swing.) Dunno if I'll be needing a weapon for it here. And I'm pretty much set with my boomstick.

[buythisaxe]

Your what? Oh come on, if you wanna reap or knight or whatever, you're going to need some of my work! Don't leave home, or the Gardens, without it!

[gravityfists]

Dunno. Doesn't seem to me that there's much reaping or knighting to do around here, and I can't exactly take anything home with me.

[esoteric_rose]

Reapers?

[Is someone worried? Of course not. It just sounds like bad news.]

[gravityfists]

In the flesh.

Under ridiculous suits. And I say this as someone who's wearing a thigh-belt.

[esoteric_rose]

...Is this a name for something, or are you talking about actual reapers? Because all the ones I've seen wear sensible, well tailored business suits.

[gravityfists]

I'd say we should swap, but suits just don't stand out as well.

But yup, it's a name for something. Deadiend kids in powered-up suits they can't control.

[gun_cata]

S-Batgirl!

[ Secret identities etc. etc. right? ]

Same lesbian garden as before, though things are kinda freaky right now...

[gravityfists]

Sbatgirl here, reporting it. When are things not freaky?

[gun_cata]

Y'know, I realized that just after I said it.

It's just... another new kind of freaky.

[gravityfists]

I hate how we have a whole colour wheel of kinds of freaky. What's wrong with just black and white? “Freaky” and “not freaky” makes life so much simpler.

[gentlecuteside]

Oh, you're back. I'd say welcome, but I suspect that might be a bit insensitive.

[gravityfists]

You can say welcome back. It's always nice to feel wanted.

[gentlecuteside]

Welcome back, then. I'm sure you're not glad to be here, but I'm happy to see you again.

[gravityfists]

Thanks! I guess it's kind of nice to get the opportunity to catch up with everyone. Any major personal developments on your side of things?
