I am afraid it's all real.

{ Stares. }

So sayeth the masquerade goer? I must have missed my invitation in the mail.

[he_is_wild]

[He takes this literally.]

I was at the Masquerade, yes.

[He tilts his head. ]

I apologize for my mask. I am Zulfiqar.

[batgraduate]

Zulfiqar. I'm Stephanie.

I can't help but notice that you're apologizing and not taking it off.

[ well, this is odd...]

...You don't remember this stuff?

From what, my last bad acid trip? I'm afraid I'm on the straight and narrow.

[unmantled]

You kinda said hi to me when I got here.

[batgraduate]

{ A thought. }

Quick, what's my name?

[isitablurred]

Well now, as I recall last time you promised that you could stay sane if you only had a cup of coffee. Does that request still stand?

Nice to meet you again for the first time, Mr. Kent.

...Stephanie?

[batgraduate]

Hey Cass. What's new? Apart from, you know, me hearing from you.

batcryption // voice

[bodyreads]

[Yeah. Awkward.]

You're back.

batcryption // voice

[batgraduate]

Yeah, that's new for me too. The 'back' part, I mean. Who's here that knows me? I've got two Robins and a Super so far, plus you. And a Robin that only sort of knows my name, and an 'anonymous' that's either Batman or O.
