[ nineteen; ]

[ Bruce has, somewhat predictably, been hiding out in his room all day today. Towards the evening, though, he ventures into town. He doesn't do any window shopping and in fact he looks a little peeved as he makes a bee-line for a flower shop, purchases something and then heads back to the castle.

From there he goes right up to the roof to sit on the ledge and watch the sun setting over the horizon. He doesn't move for a very long time, instead just sitting there and thinking, gently cradling two white roses in his hands.

Bother him if you like, but saying he's not one for conversation at the moment would be an understatement. ]

You're welcome.

[Holding onto her own cup because she is not crazy. She peers at the computer stuff.]

How long until everything is up and running?

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

The computer will be working in another week at the most. Completing the data entry will take a decent amount of time, though.

Everything else that's going to be in here should be finished around mid-March, with any luck. Most of that will depend on the castle, though.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it'll be just like a cave away from cave.

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Except for the part where it's high above ground.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

We could always get bats to make it feel like more of a cave. Or do we want to make it fair and get robins?

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Only if you want to clean up the excrement.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

... maybe not my best idea.

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Definitely not one of your better ones.

[ Bruce, don't be a dick. ]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the confirmation.

[SIPS HER COFFEE. Not really bothered, though. She's used to this :| ]

[ Just... goes back to working. Sorry, Steph. Still not big on the whole conversation, being around people thing. ]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

[She figures. Don't mind her disappearing for a bit to find a chair, and then plopping it down nearby to watch.]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ He doesn't mind her hanging around or whatever, so long as she stays quiet. ]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

[She'll be uncharacteristically quiet! See, she's capable of it sometimes.]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

[ Attagirl. ]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

[UNTIL...]

... we're definitely going to need a TV in here.

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

No.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Radio?

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Will need to be tuned into the channels the cowl and ear radios are on.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

... a white board. A big one.

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Why.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

[So she can draw on it, duh.]

It'd be useful for. Stuff.

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Come up with a better argument and I'll think about it.

[ Since it would be useful for strategizing and organizing thoughts. ]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Because it would be useful to have a visual aid for plans. Sometimes writing things out is a lot better than typing.

[THERE.]

[isthenight.livejournal.com]

Why a whiteboard specifically and not large sheets of paper?

[ /TURNS THIS INTO A TEACHING SESSION. ]

[BECAUSE WHITEBOARDS ARE MORE FUN.]

Whiteboards make less of a mess! And, you know, easier to erase and all. Unless we want to be old school and use chalk...
