[OOC] Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

[Sloth]

<Snipped quote> It's like 40 years too soon for that.

@Gowi

Batman Beyond happens in 2019. It's roughly 2014-2015ish, so a 12 year old Terry McGinnis is totally possible. Scratch that, it's 2039. Muh DCAU knowledge is failing!

[Dblade26]

hmm...tempted to have Damian wake up and steal Steph's coffee. Or just wake up and react to Kate having shown up and almost being blown up.

[Gowi]

I should do something with Helena tonight or tomorrow.

[Taka]

Idk what to really post. I don't want to infringe on anything and the new episode supposed to start soon enough.

@Dblade26

Kate: *looks deeply into Steph's eyes* I was really worried about you, Steph. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you. Steph, I... Damian: *wakes up* WOMP WOMP Kate: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ Seriously tho, Kate needs more interaction with other bat-people besides Steph

[Dblade26]

The real question is whether to have him refer to her as "Brown's girlfriend" some variation of "Pretender" or "Fake-Batwoman" or just "Kane"

[Konica]

Out of all of those "Kane" is the least colorful. Also you could always just call her "senpai".

"-tt- Kouhai ja nai, akaname. I'll die before I say anything that idiotic." But yeah, totally gonna have Damian wake up, maybe freak out slightly, then cover for it by stealing Steph's coffee and complaining about it/Kate being there.

@Dblade26

Bilingual bonus: Damian just called you a filth licker. More specifically one of the abundance of Japanese demons that happens to lick filth.

@Dblade26

I shall begin work on the "Jason can't sleep so he begins working on the R-Cycle for totally not brotherly feelings of worry or anything like that because it's not like I like any of you b-baka-domo."

[Dblade26]

I'm glad someone was able to get it! Depending on your preference it may be general or a specific kind that comes out only at night to secretly lick filth and excrement off of dirty bathroom floors. Also yeah, gonna work on a post reaction. I feel like if Damian speaks Japanese, he would either unironically use 'ore-sama' and use a really rude speech pattern or speak in antiquated, incredibly formal patterns like an old timey samurai child.

[Sloth]

Holy filler post, Batman! I don't know if I've underestimated or overestimated how long it would take someone to dis and reassemble a motorcycle, so if I'm wildly off or what have you and we have any experts, it'd be nice to know just how much of an idiot I'm making myself out to be. (PS: Jason may or may not include a half-condescending half-heartwarming note with it.)

[Dblade26]

Awesome post Sloth! Really awesome! Also if anyone actually bothers reading Damian's separate little hallucination/dream/maybe flashback moment please note that desert survival is not actually a specialty of mine and I took certain liberties. If nothing else I have eaten scorpions. It's not necessary to read or anything at all and has no impact, but I liked the idea of giving some perspective to his pre-Robin time even if it's a probably-didn't-actually-happen hallucination.

@Dblade26

I enjoyed it, actually. It's a neat little exploration of how his psyche came to be, if nothing else. Plus, hell, I'm taking major liberties with Jason modifying a new R-Cycle in a couple weeks, so. I also personally chuckled at Damian's eagerness to get back in costume just to make an excruciatingly pained noise and just plop back in bed. Also if Damian has a personal hierarchy of the Bat-Family figured out in his head, I'd love to see what it looks like. "Father, Grayson, Everyone not named Brown or Kane, Kane and Brown are equally terrible. Drake is even worse."

[Dblade26]

It probably goes, depending on his mood, something like "Father, Grayson, Cassandra, Brown, Everyone that isn't new or Drake, Maybe Todd, New people like Kane and Lucius, Drake is the WORST." Some of those places are probably interchangeable though, depending on circumstance. Tim's always at the bottom and unless major disillusionment sets in Bruce is always at the top. Dick's pretty much always at least in second but considering how much hero worship this universe's Damian used to have for Cassandra but also how strained their relationship now is Steph might come in third sometimes, although he'd probably never admit any such thing. Also pretty sure Barbra's outside the ranking system for now and Selina...is too complicated and ick to bother ranking.

Also not sure if he just kind of flopped back into bed, or actually managed to stand up out of bed, tried to take a step then fell over against the side of the bed. Either way the result's the same.

[Sloth]

What, Jason doesn't fit in with the "Everyone who isn't new or Drake?" kid, I've been since before you could properly swing a katana! The real question is whether or not, if put on the spot, Damian would put Selina before Drake. Poor kid's head would explode trying to debate that one internally.

Is it because I don't like Bat-Cow?

[Dblade26]

He's still making his mind up about Todd. He'll probably wind up going above 'everyone who isn't new or Drake' eventually and be in competition with Brown and Cassandra for third place.

[Dblade26]

Did I do an okay job?

[Archangel89]

OK...first off I need to apologize. A series of unfortunate events has altered the very fabric of my life and I haven't had the time to post...I will ASAP.

[Dblade26]

Hey, Real Life comes first and I hope you'll be okay going forward. That said it is nice to have you back.

[Konica]

I was tempted to antagonize Damian more, but that's Jason's job.
