[Bruce is not amused for a variety of reasons not least of all that he has more important things to be doing. Whatever that person showed him, the future, a dream, he isn't sure what but something's coming and he needs to be finding the other people like Diana to help.

But instead he's here. In prison. He's usually the one putting people in prison. (Well, Arkham is more of an asylum than traditional prison but close enough.)

In any case, he puts on his public persona before opening up the video, at least it's a mask he's used to wearing.]

I have to wonder if everyone's list of crimes are quite as colorful as mine is -- if I didn't know better I might think someone was trying to slander my good name.

[Actually, most of them are right but people don't need to know that. Bruce Wayne is totally not Batman.]

Perhaps you've heard of me, Bruce Wayne, the owner of Wayne Enterprises in Gotham City. I will admit I've had a shall we say colorful reputation over the years but I would hardly think it warrants being imprisoned.

I'd ask how one gets out of this place but if that was possible I'm sure none of you would be here still. Of course, if I'm wrong in that assumption, please let me know. I have things I need to attend to back home.

[There's a smarmy sort of smile as he thinks of how to end this message. ]

If there's anything you think I should know about this place, please enlighten me, I'm all ears.

	Surprisingly, that wasn't on there. [Though pride was so you know, close enough. He also...doesn't actually believe his own hype but Bruce is nothing if not a good actor.] And there's no reason to believe there aren't others from my world here, it isn't a stretch. At least one person has responded to the name so it seems I wasn't far off, was I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I guess we can't all be so lucky as to come from hotbeds of inter-dimensional crime. I guess my world is less colorful and more ... sepia-tinted. [Oddly appropriate, considering he was turned in the Civil War era.

The smile he gives Bruce is all smarm and insincerity. He's feeling bitter right now, particularly since Bruce mentioned that one person recognized his name. Damon would give just about anything to have someone he knew around.]

	Well, considering they think jaywalking is a crime that deserves incarceration around here I'm not surprised it's as populated as it is. [He doesn't know the girl who recognized his name but it was still comforting all the same.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaywalking? They put jaywalking on your list of crimes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They did. Clearly they aren't the most discerning bunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well obviously. If they were, there'd be a lot more people I know here. [No he's not bitter what are you talking about.] So you're some kind of big-freaking-deal where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would say so, Wayne Enterprises has been a prominent company since my father ran it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder what he would think about his son being in inter-dimensional prison. Is that the kind of thing that would shock your investors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Wow, and people called him an asshole.] My father has been dead since I was eight, I don't think he'd have much of an opinion. And my investors probably wouldn't be too surprised. [Considering the public persona of Bruce being a playboy who doesn't give a shit when in fact he gives many shits.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Damon is top-notch asshole of the finest quality; the premiere bourbon of people who are dicks.] Orphaned at 8? Lucky you. My father killed me. [He smiles like it's a joke; it's not.] So were you running this whole "Wayne Enterprises" thing since before you were double digits? Because that would be adorable.

	[Yeah except people actually like good bourbon] Really? It's hard to see why he'd want to. [Not the classiest of blows, but Bruce can be petty when the right buttons are pushed.] I had help. [Alfred, Lucius Fox.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatasshole 2016-04-22 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Ouch. [That would sting, if Damon gave a fuck about his father. But he has succeeded in repressing all that trauma fairly deep; it will be another few hundred years before he's forced to deal with it.] Did they help you sit in the big boy chair? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You can repress trauma? Bruce should learn that trick except without his trauma he wouldn't know how to function.] Surprisingly, I figured that one out on my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Oh sure, it's easy when you're a vampire. Every time you start thinking about something unpleasant, kill someone and drink their blood until you don't think about it anymore! Or just turn off your "humanity switch", then you don't feel anything! It's great!] Well good for you! I'm sure they were all very proud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That sounds really messy, and not just in a literal sense.] I haven't heard any complaints. (Reply to this) (Parent)
