So weird shit is nothing new here, obviously. But I was wondering, and you can consider this research or just something for the hell of it, just what kind of losses people have gone through. I'm talking about the temporary kind here.

Like being turned into a child or an animal or being stuck in an outfit for a certain amount of time. Collective losses or individual ones, doesn't matter. So if you feel like it, share with the class.

No response to my vague comment. I see how it is.

He's alright. Whiny. But what's new, right?

[toughest.livejournal.com]

What vague comment? [Feigning such innocence.]

No surprise there. His leg healing up alright, then?

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Riiiiight. I'll just assume things.

Yep. I think he'll be back to sneaking around and getting into trouble in no time.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead.

[A pause.] Will he be alright without Dick?

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I hope so. He [has Bruce :|a but she doesn't want to say that.]... he has people, still.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

He does, but he seemed a lot closer with Dick.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

He's known him the longest, and Dick did a lot of shaping Damian into a Robin. So, you're right, but I know I'll be doing my best to make sure he's alright. Damian's a tough little kid.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

With someone like you, I'm sure he'll be just fine.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Aww. He'd toss you off the castle if he heard that, but I appreciate the compliment.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

He'd toss me off the castle anyway, so it makes no difference.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

He'd toss you off the castle with abundant enthusiasm.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling I might be the only one who gets such special treatment.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Nah. He's not a big Steph Brown fan, either.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

He's not a big fan of anyone, that's not it.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

What do you think it is?

[toughest.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, a grudge? No idea why though.

[MAYBE BECAUSE FUTURE YOU SHOOTS HIM IN THE SPINE but she's taking that to the grave. She will offer up something else, though.]

I think he's just jealous. And I'm saying this in good faith that you won't flaunt it around, not that I think you'd do that or anything. He's been catty with every Robin that's shown up here.

Jealous? He's Bruce's actual son. What is there to be jealous about? [If anything, it should be the other way around.]

Jason

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I think you've spent more time with that Bruce, though. [She's not sure if that time's increased much at home, either. No idea what goes on between Daddybats and babyRobin.] I'm not an expert on that dynamic, but I'm sure it's a big factor.

Stephanie

[toughest.livejournal.com]

How long has he been with Bruce back home then?

Jason

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I thiiiink he said... days. Of course, time's been added onto that now--since I think I'm from the future or something in comparison with Damian--but the Damian here hasn't had a lot of time with him. Other-Bruce, yeah, but. [You know how that's not the same :| ]

Ow, confusing.

Stephanie

[toughest.livejournal.com]

... You're serious. Days? That's— [kind of really sad.]

Okay, I can totally get the jealousy now. No wonder he'd feel threatened.

Jason

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's not used to sharing, either. [The whole Talia thing. And the Uru thing. Seesh.]

He's slowly getting better about most things. Just don't take his little fits to heart.

Stephanie

[toughest.livejournal.com]

Makes sense.

If this is improvement, I don't think I wanna know how he was before. And don't worry, I didn't from the start.

Jason

One day, I'm going to write a horror novel about his earlier days.

Glad to hear it. He can be grumpy all he wants, we'll be over here at the cool table, right?
