LIVE: Burning some shit

[justfuckingtryit]

Who: A couple of members of Bad End
Where: Right out front of the hotel
When: Day 153, immediately post-game

[Someone has dumped an entire room's worth of shit right here on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. The cinder blocks are already broken, like they got chucked from the balcony, and the clothes are a mound on top of the mattress.]

[Thorn and Jay are in the process of mcfucking lighting it on fire.]

Comments

[mind_blown]

[he frowns, and then looks down at the phone, confused??

and then he presses play again, like. maybe there was a mistake.

And as it plays, he seems to calm down again, something almost soft on his face.

until it finishes. and he looks as confused as he did before.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Watching his expression closely this time, and inhaling with sharp alarm the second it changes ]

You... You do not remember it, do you?

[mind_blown]

[he sighs.

and puts his phone away.]

No. Waste of 500 points.

[iamverybadass]

You were Robin. You were meant to go on patrol with our father, but you were sick, and Pennyworth—our butler. He was concerned, and Father agreed and benched you for the night.

You were complaining about it. You refused to even change out of your uniform even after Pennyworth brought you back upstairs, but Father joined you. You had the night off together and watches movies until you fell asleep.

[mind_blown]

...

[that. sounds nice?

but why can't he remember it?]

Thanks.

[iamverybadass]

You should... I have never heard of anyone failing to...to keep a purchased memory.

[mind_blown]

[he shrugs.]

Guess I'll have to take it up with someone else.

Anyway...

[going to shelve those feelings hard.]

Time to test out my new toy.

[iamverybadass]

...Mm. I'm curious to see if it actually works.

[mind_blown]

I tested the firing and retracting mechanism earlier. Only question is if it'll support my weight.

And only one way to find that out.

[he hops off the a/c, and then heads to the edge of the building.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon hops up to follow him, manifesting his bat wings in a little puff of smoke and flexing them with a taunting smirk ]

Don't worry if it fails. I'll catch you.

[mind_blown]

Aw, thanks.

Totally unnecessary. But I appreciate it anyway.

[he grins.

and then he jumps.]

[iamverybadass]

[ The second Jay's over the edge, Talon's amused expression drops and he hopes up onto the edge of the roof to watch intently, ready to leap after him if he needs to ]

[mind_blown]

[he nears the bottom, but the gun fires off without a hitch, latching onto a pole and allowing Jay to slow his momentum enough to land safely.

and then retract it.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon lets out a relieved whoop of delight and swoops down from the roof, looping around overhead ]

That went perfectly!

[mind_blown]

Not a bad end to this shitty day.

[THEY CAN BOTH BE HAPPY, IN THE WAY THAT ONLY BATS CAN BE]

[iamverybadass]

We should forget about the rest of this garbage day.

[mind_blown]

[he offers him a thumbs up.]

Done.

[it is not done, but he can pretend it is.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Swoops down to land a few feet away. ]

Good. We could use a good day like this one.

[ Pretending is important okay ]

[mind_blown]

[it's so important. he grins a little bit, but self consciously pulls his hood up over his head.]

Alright, kiddo. Next time, you better be well rested enough to give me a run for my money.

[iamverybadass]

You do not need to worry about that. I will ensure I sleep well tonight.

[mind_blown]

Good.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

[iamverybadass]

Ah...

[ Nods, with just a hint of a smile ]

Tomorrow.

[mind_blown]

[he waves once as he starts to walk away]

[iamverybadass]

[ Waves back, and takes off to head home himself ]
