Sewer-diving [Active]
Who: Robin and Duo (_redbird and elltwosweeper)
What: Sewer diving.
When: All day.
Where: Under your feet.
Why: It's all part of Robin's master plan. Details within.
Robin: *So how's it feel sewer-diving with this lanky costumed guy showing all the signs of busily repressing trauma?*
Duo: Just like old times.
Robin: Does that mean you're going to shut up and explore with me? *Got a tracker recording our path in the Nest computer, can map out wherever we went later. Also, taking notes. Therefore: busy.*
Duo: You don't remember me that well do ya, kid? ;D
Robin: . . . We met once. You volunteered to take height measurements.
Robin: ... Thanks. By the way.
Duo: No problemo, Red. ;Db
Robin: I got some good data. Have to reconfirm it now a month has passed, see if it fluctuates up there.
Duo: O'course. Helps t'keep busy too. |Db
Robin: There's plenty of ways to do that. B|
Duo: Sure, but what beats flyin' around in a Gundam? ;D
Robin: To each his own, I guess.
Duo: You prefer the sewers?
Robin: *little snort* It's familiar turf.
Duo: Familiar ain't always the best. ; )
Robin: ... I used to fly my own way. Grappling's what beats all for me.
Duo: Yeah, you guys got some pretty neat toys.
Robin: Look who's talking.
Duo: *Grin* Y'should see the rest o'the set. ;D
Robin: Pass. B| Doubt they show up to small parties.
Duo: Nah, don't show up at all anymore. *Reminiscent kinda sad little smile*
Robin: Could be worse! *jump hop moving faster now*
Duo: *Keeping pace!* Don't gotta tell me twice! ; )
Robin: *moving faster, then! Maybe testing you.* B|
Duo: *Hey, may not be a Bat, but had pretty intensive training!*
Robin: *Maybe it's just to keep ME from thinking*
Duo: *Not gonna begrudge ya THAT*
Robin: *No? Then your company's more bearable than I'd expected.*
Duo: *I'm hurt!*
Robin: *World's smallest violin. Just for you.*
Robin: *Just don't try and make any jokes.*
Duo: *Do wisecracks count?*
Robin: *They're meant to make me smile.* >B|
Duo: *Y'know, I never figured Heero for the cape an' mask type, but . . . *
Robin: *does Heero lash out when you do that?*
Duo: *Depends on his mood an' the mission :|a*
Robin: *hissing out a breath* Just stop that.
Duo: S'kinda second nature, y'know? :Ta
Robin: *wince! stumbling a little, picking up the pace again.* Yeah.
Robin: As a matter of fact.
Duo: You alright, Red? *Might be asking about more than just the stumble*
Robin: I'll live. *unfortunately.*
Duo: Heard that one before.
Robin: How about "it doesn't matter"?
Duo: Heard that one too.
Duo: Used it myself a few times over the years.
Robin: And?
Duo: In my experience? It's usually bullshit.
Robin: *shrug* Guess that's 'cause you can look back on it and laugh.
Duo: *Smirk* That's bullshit too.
Robin: What, that you survived? B|
Duo: That just 'cause ya ain't lettin' it kill yer sense o'humor means ya can laugh about it.
Robin: *considers. Bitterly* Then you'd get it.
Duo: That mean yer gonna tell me what happened?
Robin: You got things you can't laugh about?
Duo: Dunno anyone that doesn't.
Robin: So I got a new one while I was gone.
Duo: Figured that much.
Robin: Jokes.
Duo: . . . *give him a sec while he catches on as much as he's going to not knowing the Joker or your history with him* Ouch.
Robin: Laughing's what I can't laugh about. *making a turn here, scanning the walls, straight forward, going going.*
Duo: How long's it been?
Robin: *flinch!* ...Got back here a week ago?
Robin: before that... days.
Robin: I dunno.
Duo: *Headshake* Ya gotta give yerself more time, Red.
Robin: I don't have more time.
Duo: Whaddaya call this?
Robin: Last chance.
Duo: Maybe. So better make the most of it, right?
Robin: What do you think I'm doing?
Duo: Keepin' busy.
Robin: Wrong.
Duo: Uh huh. So what are ya doin'?
Robin: Figuring it out.
Robin: If there's any chance at taking this place apart, if I can change one thing before I get sent back.
Robin: Just one crack in the border, that's all I need, one hack into the system.
Duo: Why?
Robin: . . . Nightwing.
Robin: I'm too deep in the timeline, I can't do anything. I get sent back, game over. But if he can just keep his memory when he goes home, there's a chance.
Duo: *Well, who is he t'dash the kid's dreams?* So any idea where we're goin'?
Robin: Notice anything weird about the sewer system yet?
Duo: *Smirk* Kid, the last sewer system I was crawlin' around in was a couple hundred years more advanced'n anything this place has t'offer.
Robin: Bet it still followed the street grid.
Duo: *Eyebrow, guess who's impressed*
Robin: *gesturing* This tunnel. Look back for a second. *shines his light back there*
Robin: It's curved.
Robin: We're on the west side. Straight grid streets as of yesterday.
Duo: Anyone checked t'make sure they were still straight? I'd be willin' t'bet construction around here's faster'n any world's.
Robin: Wanna radio your pal and find out? Or go up and do it yourself. I'm gonna follow the inside curve. See what it's going around.
Duo: *Pulling out his cell* Knowin' this place? There's probably mutant goldfish down here somewhere.
Robin: Your call. *going on* I'd call myself, but-- *cutting off*
