Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

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

@Konica

Can't, busy building him a cooler-than-before R-Cycle.

(Also hello from a Holiday Inn Express in New York.)

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

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

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."

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

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.)

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

Whether it was the being undead or the vigilante lifestyle, Jason couldn't determine just how he could go for what seemed like days without even the slightest bit of bed rest. Sure, his two or so odd days back in Gotham had been quite eventful to say the least, but you'd think a guy who was used to seeing everyday shmos' faces distort into maniacal grins would be able to get some shuteye despite the day's events. Maybe it was because it was only his second night back in the halls of Wayne Manor? Two days wasn't exactly enough time for his contemporaries to accept him back in the fold, and certainly not enough for him to be used to the whole "acceptance" thing. At least he'd taken the time to formally unpack and get a shower, the scent of Gotham wasn't exactly a pleasurable experience. For the time being, the twenty something formerly deceased Boy Wonder was making his way ever so silently to the cave. For how foreboding the Batcave was, Jason found it to be a place of solace whenever he needed to think. He figured that was why Bruce and some of his contemporaries spent effectively their entire waking lives down there. Bruce hadn't exactly reacted well to the news of Damian's mishap, so Jason was effectively alone in the halls of Wayne Manor, since one Selina Kyle (or was it Selina Wayne now?) probably wouldn't want to test the proverbial minefield of dealing with Jason Todd, and for that, Jason was grateful. His first step in the cave, and the lights automatically blasted him with their all too familiar blinding rays. He just needed something to keep his mind occupied, or rather, that's what Jason told himself when he passed the returned R-Cycle to inspect one of Bruce's innumerable Bat-Cycles near the edge of the cave's ramp. He always kept spares, hell, he needed to, considering how often one was exposed to death beams and explosives when they chose to be the protectors of the night. Damian seemed like the type of kid who wouldn't appreciate a stranger messing around with his toys, even if it was for a good reason, and Jason didn't exactly have the patience to start from scratch, and so he began the process of moving the motorcycle to the cave's workshop. Sure, Damian could make the Batmobile fly, but Jason was willing to bet he didn't know where Bruce kept the good stuff. His personal stache was overflowing with materials that would make a mechanic cry if he knew how to properly make parts with them; lightweight titanium, Kryptonian knickknacks, hell even some sort of magical shard from Zatanna. You name it, Batman had it. Jason used the time it took to prepare the bike and fiddle with Bruce's security systems to calculate just how many man-hours it'd take him to complete this little project. Sure, he wasn't starting from scratch, but dismantling and reassembling a motorcycle was tough work, even for a former Boy Wonder. He'd have to build new wheels, mess around with the suspension and such, and maybe paint it if he felt artistic enough. True, it already had all your standard Batman upgrades, but he'd have to at least give it a few new things to mess around with. He sighed to himself when he was finally permitted access into Batman's secret stache, hopefully Bruce and co. could keep a secret for a week or two. "Now, where the hell does Bruce keep the Nth Metal?"

"-tt- Kouhai ja nai, akaname. I'll die before I say anything that idiotic."

@Dblade26

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

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

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."

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

<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!

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

So definitely a lot of cool stuff opening up for Helena!

@Gowi

Would be neat to know the Gotham Underworld's immediate reaction when they see Red Hood's reemergence on the news. Heh.

True and pre-New 52 I'm pretty sure he mutters some sentence about getting all the schooling he needed from the League of Assassins when Batgirl asks him. But I was wondering if we'd do things different in this version, like force him to in order to learn how to be a normal kid.

@Dblade26

Who would he even socialize with? Terry McGinnis?

Yeah, we're gonna have to write awkward, potentially violent bonding scenes. Yay!~ ^-^

@Dblade26

Hey, progress. I've known you for a little over twelve-ish hours and you already like me more than you'll ever like Tim Drake or Steph Brown.

Gonna be fun finding ways to pass the time. Although admittedly some of my ideas boil down to "Go bug Todd/Brown/Grayson"

@Dblade26

Why not all three?

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

That reminds me, does Damian go to school? I think in the comics there's an incredibly vague statement somewhere that he doesn't, but what do people think?

@Dblade26

He doesn't. Heck, the kid just randomly plopped into Wayne Enterprises while Bruce was away doing Batman things and somehow increased profits. Plus he finds it demeaning. New 52 wise I think the excuse is that he's home-schooled/studies abroad while Carrie Kelly is teaching him how to be a normal human being? Or something? Though with Jason moving back to the Manor, I'm sure Damian will have plenty to do, what with having to figure out his limits with the new big brother. Man, that must be awkward for Bruce. The only Robins in the Manor are the two that had that emo phase where they killed a lot of people.

Gotham City Tales (OOC and IC)

Bertinelli family is still around...

@Gowi

Pfft, you're competing with Black Mask and the Great White Shark. Not like Helena's an actually decent mafioso or something. PS: Do they call her the Godmother?
