[dickism]

got any big plans tonight?

[batricide]

I was going to hit the town.
Why?

[ hit the town in this case meaning being a menace towards crime ]

[dickism]

jason and i are going to try to get into the ball and try to find nirvana. are you in?

[batricide]

Obviously.

[dickism]

good. jason's whining about me making you party.

[batricide]

Please.
I'm there to gather information, not party.
And Jason loathes anything that forces him to admit he's barely older than I am.

[dickism]

and here i thought he was afraid i was going to corrupt you.

[batricide]

His husband once paid me several thousand dollars to get drunk.
You're not the corrupting influence in this equation.

[dickism]

did you take it?

[batricide]

I know a good deal when I see one, Grayson.
And I've got enough control over myself to maintain my dignity while inebriated.

[dickism]

smart kid.
what do you think about loki, by the way? i'm still trying to process this husband thing.

[batricide]

Leave it to Jason to take up with a literal chaos God.
For better or worse, he's Jason's perfect match.
Stabilizing as much as he is corrupting.
But Jason seems happy.

[dickism]

good.

[Dick's not going to try to pass judgment on this. If Jason's happy, that's what matters.]

he's a lot different than i remember him.

[batricide]

How do you remember him?

[dickism]

violent. unstable. hurting.

[batricide]

He's still two of those things but does a decent job at reigning it in.
And while I wouldn't necessarily call him stable, he's far more stable than the Jason I'm familiar with.

[dickism]

what was your jason like?

[batricide]

Angry.
It was worse after he came back.

[dickism]

angry's a word for it.

[batricide]

If you talk down to him he'll be an irrational asshole. But if you talk to him on his level he'll hear you out.
It's the same with the Jason back home.

[ he pauses after he sends it. 'jason back home' and not 'my jason' feels... cold, somehow, to the brother he left behind. but he'd be stupid to deny he's much closer to the one here. ]

The pit amplifies everything broken in you and makes it worse.
Be glad I'm the sensible one who always survives.

Welcome back. I will be soon announcing that the project for training the civilians here is nearly finished. After the monster attack, we had a warehouse, funding, and non-lethal weapons acquired for the purpose. That part is nearly complete and I intend to ask for skilled Displaced to be instructors and help figure out a marketing strategy as I am not much of a people person.

The intention is to teach them self-defense and self-preservation, not advanced fighting techniques. We are detached from Red Wings to be more independent. I haven't come up with a name yet.

I'm informing you since I remember you cared about this idea before you left and may either want to be involved or to be kept in the loop. If you have no interest you can say so.

[batricide]

I can assist you with marketing and may be able to offer some basic combat lessons.

[coalitions]

Thank you. Castiel and I aren't very in tune with how to reach the people outside of the Displaced.

[batricide]

Most aren't.
I'll look into the best ways to get the word out.

[coalitions]

I appreciate that. Will you need any assistance? I was going to list requests for instructors and help marketing, but if you believe yourself sufficient I won't ask for the latter.

[coalitions]

@lexa.trikru has mentioned you.

Hey buddy, looks like the city has us shaking up. You mind if I take the spot closer to the outlet?
