BalalaikaThe night went by with pleasant company and comedic conversation. Tim was one of the last to excuse himself. He made his way down to the batcave and walked along all the different trophies on display. The whole walk through was a timeline of the time Batman had worked in Gotham. It was powerful and calming. It was proof of what Bruce and the rest had done. It also made Tim realize he might have to start collecting trophies. Though the giant T-Rex and coin were likely to be an obstacle. After his walk through Tim returned to the manor and went to bed.
Waking up the next morning Tim threw on a old shirt and shorts and started the morning with a jog. By the time he had worked up a sweat and made his way back for a shower. Once the sweat and grime was washed off his body he found a early breakfast had been delivered to his room. While munching on the meal he opened his laptop and got some work done. It wasn't until he heard the call of the house to prepare for the weddings guests.
Tim did not enjoy formal gatherings. He found most company to be dull and out of touch with reality while the rest were all to comfortable living in luxury while the world slowly burned around them. Long ago he had given up on trying to rally other members of the trust fund baby group to support his community outreach programs. Still among the crowd of pointless 1%'s there were good people. Those that stood beside Tim during his community center Neon Knights anti-gang centers. Others who had supported the Wayne family in their work for the community.
Changing into his suit and giving his tie a final tight tug he made his way down as guests began to mingle. After some friendly hellos were exchanged with old family friends and congratulations were handed out Tim found himself beset upon by an elderly woman accompanied by a younger woman in a tuxedo. Her most striking feature being her red hair.
Without missing a beat Tim smiled and shook hands with the woman who introduced herself as Kate. It was easy enough to tell who the driving force behind this interaction was. Still Kate seemed to be humoring her grandmother enough to show up to the event. Tim wasn't one to avoid a curious character.”It is nice to meet you Kate and if I might say a untamed rebel is far better than a docile sheep.” He flashed a warm smile as Kate’s grandma gave a smile more linked to the fact that Tim was still chatting and hadn't walked away.
“A comfort we both share.” Tim said. This earned a matching smile from Kate who had understood the meeting was enjoyed but had no second meaning or expectation. The small group was shortly joined by Steph and Damian. With Damian's cutting comment being the two’s introduction to the group Tim gave a smile for the people around them to know this was just a brother being snarky.
Tim wasn't one to be drawn into a battle of pointless words filled with pot shots at dress and attire. Still he added this to the long mental list of why he really just did not like Damian. “Kate I would like to introduce my younger brother Damian. As you can see he has a way with words.” He then moved his hand over to Steph. “And this is Stephanie Brown. A good friend of the family.”

I will get a post up likely tomorrow morning. Great restart on these posts gang.
Konica I am sorry that I missed your message. I will respond in kind shortly.
I am waiting for people to respond to me so I will wait and likely have my next post be after the time skip and have Tim heading to the wedding with some of the other members of the Bat-Family. Also he needs a date so a phone call is likely going to have to happen.

Hello,
Thank you for taking a moment out of your day to read my role play idea pitch. As you have seen from the title this story will be a science fiction role play. Before I go into details about the plot I want to let you know that in joining this role play means committing to posting at a regular rate. Even if you have no real idea of what to post you can at least react to what others have posted (Something most people enjoy) Adding to the story and scene is of course an expected goal, but more often then not role plays die because everyone is waiting for something else. Don't wait! Just create! With that message I am proud to present the role play Flashback.
The year is 22XX and the galaxy is in a state of complete war. What the human race called the First Encounter War transformed into what the galaxy is currently called the Scale Treachery. The history of these events is massive and to comprehend all that has transpired would take hundreds of thousands of words. Thankfully a short summery will suffice for now. Shortly after humans discovered Faster Then Light or FTL travel they encountered a galactic council of races. These races were hesitant over the inclusion of humans due to their inexperience of the greater place they now traveled. This quickly turned violent as humans fought against any and all regulation of their exploration. Within two human generations all out war was being waged between humans and the races of the council.
The war went on for decades. Having expanded so quickly humans were unable to protect their territories and human colonies numbering in the thousands were slaughtered before any true unified front was able to put up a resistance against the councils superior numbers and technology. The war was never really even as the council methodically stomped out colony after colony. Soon the only remaining forces were those found in and around the star system known as Solar. Humans still lived throughout the galaxy, but were small in number and military strength. It was at this time that the two species the Tid and the Frir abandoned the council and turned their own armies on the remaining war machine which was still focused on the human home clusters.
The damage to the council was decimating. The attack was strategic and calculation. Within the span of one earth year the two species had taken control of several Council home planets. The remaining council species had no choice but to abandon their siege on Earth. Instead for several months they committed completely to regaining control of their own quadrants of the galaxy. A task that seemed impossible. The game changer is a secret ship contrived of combining human and council technology. What had quickly come to light after the Scale betrayal was that several key events that lead to the First Contact war were staged and planned by the Tid and Frir. With the new found alliance the multi-species crew gathered on board the secret ship. Their mission is to utilize the ships advanced stealth engine to sneak into enemy control sectors and assist all guerrilla wars currently being waged by occupied regions of space.
The goal of this role play is to have a diverse crew and the struggle for trust and teamwork. There will be action in this role play, but I want it to take a backseat to honest character development and the main story. There will be some major plot points that will alter character alignments and test the crew to their very core (And not just the engine drive core!) For this role play I will be taking on the ships Captain. I will require someone to take on a female character who will play the First Officer position on the ships crew. There will be a few key additions to this character so if interested please let me know if interest. There is a possible chance of romance between the two characters, but it is not required.
I am going to give you the character sheet for this to see what sort of races and ideas people who are interested bring. Just ask if you have any question.

ExtraSo I was able to work up another post. Hopefully it isn't a boring one and gets some conversation and group chat going. Not sure how we want to do the whole scene, but I am sure things can work out pretty well. I am sorry if there are errors. I have been having to write using my tablet and while typing isn't that big an issue there is zero spell and grammar check. I have a habit of writing in a talking voice sometimes and this has me making errors here and there. Happy to correct any if people see some and it starts to irk them.
If anyone is interested in their character having a more detailed conversation I am happy to do a collaboration post. Just let me know with a quick and friendly PM :D
While enjoying small talk with Stephanie, Dick, and Barbara Tim received a phone call. Feeling the cell vibrate he pulled it out and politely excused himself from the conversation. Moving over to the other side of the large room Tim pulled the phone out and answered the phone. "I believe I asked not to receive any work calls tonight Eric." Tim answered with a curt tone as he assumed he was talking to his assistant. A capable young man; however, somewhat of a scatter brain at times.
"Yes sir I know, but I don't think this could wait. Your meeting with Oliver Queen has to be shifted. Unfortunately it seems he has decided to go to Europe to go skiing." Eric seemed out of breath and his tone was one of someone who felt they were going to be blamed for something. The fact that Eric was currently caught between two extremely wealthy masked crime fighters meant he was very much between a rock and a hard place. Fortunately for the young man the cancellation was not a surprise to Tim
"Well then I guess we are going to have to either reschedule or find a way to get me to Europe." Tim said with a smile. The response he got was one of uncertainty. Was Eric supposed to do one or the other. He promptly hung up after telling Eric to calm down and that they would settle the issue after the wedding weekend. This seemed to put Eric in a much better state of mind. Tim turned to see two others enter the room. An annoying ego and a blast from the past.
Everyone in the Bat family knew the friction between Tim and Damian. The little twerp just rubbed Tim the wrong way. That and his near obsession about killing was a constant threat to everything Bruce and the cowl stood for. Tim didn't have to say this out loud, but his views on Damian being allowed to wear the yellow and green was an egregious error in Batman's judgement. In Tim's opinion at least. The other to walk into the room was the near opposite while Damian was a threat while being around Batman Jason nearly destroyed Batman by not being around.
Tim never blamed Jason for what happened to him. No one could except for Bruce himself. The curse was without a Robin, Batman lost himself. It was the very reason Tim decided to come out and threaten to expose Bruce Wayne as Batman unless he took Tim in as the new Robin. Since he had lost Jason Batman had become more reckless as well as violent. Even very nearly used a gun at one point, a fact he later shared with Tim. Jason was the cautionary tale. One that haunted even Damion.
Tim walked over to Jason and shook his hand. "It's good of you to make it Jason." He then looked down at Damian and fought the urge to tussle his hair. Instead he was saved when a door bell chimed announcing the arrival of another and final member of the Bat family. "Cassandra Cain as I live and breath." He gave a big smile to this as the joke was perhaps in poor taste, but since the whole drug induced brainwashing incident Cassandra and Tim had become close.
He was younger and allowed himself to think there was maybe something more during their time working together, but the days when hormones ruled his thoughts ended a long time ago, at least when it came to most things. When you bury your parents you grow up fast. "I hope the trip across the Pacific wasn't as painful as the one across Gotham?"
I noticed that none of my stories are in Season 1. This is fine if they are being held off for a season 2. Just wanting to make sure if that was the plan or not.
Still here as well of course. Just waiting for a little more before writing up a post. Don't want to fall into the "Write a paragraph about the furniture so I don't feel like I am wasting peoples time with useless Tolkien filler" form of role play writing.
