Roof: Backdated to Dec 31st into Jan 1st

[sonofab]

[It was the Holidays and while he had family here, they were just cold mimics. It was a small comfort that so many of the things between his word and the small Drake’s were somewhat similar, but it was long into a conversation before he started to see the cracks. Then there was that Todd. He wasn’t sure what to make of him. Though he bared the same name and voice, in the end, it was just more lies.

So he mostly just let Christmas pass. It was a stupid Christian and brightly colored tradition when you took out Pennyworth’s cooking anyway. Still, he wasn’t one to mope. If you don’t like something, you do something, right?

This is why Damian is on the roof, in full Robin gear with a box of fireworks. Was shooting fireworks on New Years a tradition? Well, for him it is now because he wanted to blow some stuff up.]

Stay.

[He says to Kory and Alfred as he sets his box down further away from them and takes out a firework.

Come Midnight, lets light up the sky.]

[expunge]

( the roof's a great place to hang out for shitty nerd birds, sure; even jason has an appreciation for being high up. any other kid, and he would have kept to his own corner of the rooftop, stayed out of damian's way--because he doesn't give a shit about some tiny thing shooting off fireworks,

it's the color theme that gains his attention, the r on his chest. and much like damian, jason isn't one to walk around without his own armor. the helmet covers any facial features that may have given him away on sight, but the arkham symbol on the centerpiece of his armor and the stupid bat ears (antenna, actually) out of the top of the helmet are more than enough signs to give away a general affiliation to anyone mildly familiar with gotham.

not that he's making that connection easy, given he's speaking from the shadows behind the roof's entrance, the blue glow of the slits over his eyes the only visible sign of him. the voice filter works wonders, too: covers up the tone of his voice. )

Halloween was months ago, kid.

[sonofab]

[Auto-tuned voice? Through a device most likely. Talking robots aren't exactly unheard of here, but last he heard Stark had programmed his robots to be helpful, not creepy. At first, Damian didn't look towards the voice, but rather at Kory and Alfred who started to growl and hiss in the direction of it.]

Easy. [He says calmly to the animals, despite his own instincts starting to flare. It wasn't common for someone, not a fellow Robin to sneak up on him. Finally looking over at the voice. A figure choosing to stay hidden in shadow? Well, that was never a good sign. And here he thought Wonderlands latest even had come to an end.]

And yet someone is still playing Boogieman.

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim is not in Robin gear. He's actually dressed up fairly nicely. He'd visited the New Year's Eve party briefly--Cissie wouldn't have had it any other way--but decided not to stay. Once he thought he would be able to get away without an argument from Cissie, he had, and then found his way up to the roof, which is the real place for any Robin to celebrate the New Year anyway.

And he is completely unsurprised to see Damian there.

And even less surprised that he's all geared up.]

Hey Damian.

[sonofab]

[Damian looks over when he hears the familiar voice and well, it wasn't terrible having at least Drake here. Of all the cruel jokes Wonderland threw at him, surprisingly Drake had been the least scathing.]

Got sick of the party?

[It was still strange talking so easily to his predecessor when all his memories of Drake back home were of cutting verbal spars or pointless bitter contest to prove who was better. Only for Drake to die. Leaving so much unsaid... undiscovered and just a cold sense of something Damian was still having trouble processing.]

Don't be useless, Drake, set up some fireworks.

[scathefires]

[Same name, same voice, probably the same face, only Jason has no idea who Damian is, outside of what he's been told - hell, he didn't even catch Damian's name until Jon told him. It's too soon for Jason to know Damian; he only just came back to Gotham before he ended up stuck here in Wonderland.

Jason misses Gotham, though good luck getting him to admit it, and one of the things he misses the most is having a rooftop all to himself. Hard not to spot the Robin gear when it stands out - that's what it's designed to do, contrast with Batman's shadows, be a nice bright distracting target - and Jason's been watching for the kid ever since they talked on his first day. Jason's not wearing a uniform, because a) his was mostly destroyed by the time he arrived, and 2) almost nobody knows and definitely nobody cares about the Red Hood here, so he's layered up in street clothes, red hoodie under a black leather jacket, dark jeans, boots. The hood of his jacket is pulled up over his head, because that just makes sense.]

You look smaller in person.

[Hi, Damian.]

[sonofab]

[Short jokes though? Low blow.

Speaking of familiar voices, he inclined his head at this one but didn't fully turn or lower his hood. Instead, he knelt down, picking up one of the fireworks and carries on setting it up.]

Yes, when one carries himself with confidence, they give off the impression of grandeur. [He drawls as he sets the firework on the ground before straighten up and finally looking at Todd. His eyes covered by a green domino, he still boring into the Todd mimic.

There were differences though with this former Robin. His stance was far less relaxed, but he was from an earlier point, much like Drake. Only if you were to catch Todd earlier in life, he was even less likable. If one could imagine.]

If it helps. You sound just as stupid in person? So at least you know you're not a letdown.

[Upside?] This time. [Damian giveth and Damian taketh away.]

Feb: Music room.

[sonofab]

[You know, without the blood-curdling screams and mini-disaster, Wonderland got kinda boring. Taking a once in a lifetime break from the cave, he happens upon the music room.

He never really gave this room much attention, but he spots a violin rest by the window. Well, since the last few events were so musical incline, it reawoke a talent he thought he’d lost years ago. He decides to see if it was just the events or if the old music lessons were still there.

They were.]

[jamminshield]

[During his few months in Wonderland, Steven's been visiting the music room semi-regularly. It has a bunch of instruments, and it's a great space for practicing music after all!

Today when he opens the door, he happens to notice someone in the process of playing the violin. And good!

Steven will just stand there silently, smiling softly as he takes in the performance!]

[sonofab]

[For some time now Damian seems a bit lost in his playing. Music was one of those rare calming moments back at the compound. He opens his eyes and is surprised when he sees a boy he'd never seen before staring at him.

Needless to say, having someone sneak up on him at all that wasn't a fellow Robin was impressive and made his bow on the violin screech a bit when he comes to a sudden stop.]

How long have you been here?

[passingthrough]

[Kitty doesn't play music so outside of a general inspection as she had explored the grounds she really didn't pay much attention to this room. Still, she happened to be walking by when she heard the violin melody. She paused there in the hall for a few moments before going inside. She even uses the door instead of just phasing through the wall. Wouldn't want someone breaking their violin after all.

Another kid? Really? What is wrong with this place?]

[sonofab]

[The light footsteps go unnoticed as the small teen continues to play, though had she decided to phase through the wall and sneak up on him like a ghost it likely wouldn't have ended well, so good choice new girl! His fingers move over the cords and he focuses trying to pull the memory of his old lessons. The nicer lessons of music and history, not of blood and fear.

He does feel eyes on him after awhile. Old instincts died hard after all. He does finish the sound though because he never did like to leave things half finished, then turns to the girl and points the bow at her.]

You are being quite rude. [Says the son of Batman who has a masters degree in rude. So you know, don't worry, he knows what he's talking about.]

[spellcheck]

[ She happens upon the music room by chance.

Classical music isn't really her thing -- she's always been more of a fan of anything with the word 'glam' in the genre -- but Lois can appreciate good music, she's not a complete lost cause there. She slips into the room quietly, lingering in the farthest corner to listen in on the performance. ]

Feb: Youth center.

[sonofab]

[With MJ and Kaplan missing the youth center just didn’t provide the same calm comfort, but it was still a good place to lose one’s self in some mindless activities. Such a video games.

Sure there was a game system in the cave, but that was mostly for Jon’s benefit. Also to keep him distracted and from touching the more complicated equipment in the cave. Arcade games just had a more competitive feel to them. Perhaps it was the fact that anyone could just take away his high score.

Where you the one that took that high score he just left here?]

[idolings]

[ With everything that's been going on, Sayaka figured that visiting the youth center is the perfect way to unwind and relax. As she was looking for something to do, she takes notice of the arcade games and looks at them with a fond smile. Seeing video games reminded her of Chiaki, who had departed from this place.

Truthfully, she's never played video games back home. But now she has all the time in the world and it might be fun to try out a new hobby! She eagerly turns the game on and is starstruck by the high score displayed on the screen. ]

Oh my! This is quite a high score.

[sonofab]

[Damian was looking at the screen proudly. It had taken most of the day, but finally Damian was triumphant! He glance over when he hears the voice. Ah, yes, stare in awe at his victory, Stranger. This score was truly one of blood, sweat and ...a few milkshakes, judging from the empty cups around the arcade machine.

Damian did have a nasty habit of obsessing.]

Hm, you think? The intention was to make it unbeatable. [Again.]

Ever played Cheese Vikings? [Was it you? Were you the one that ruined his score before? His gaze seems to bore into the girl. She didn't look like a game expert, but things were rarely what they seemed in this place.]

[stereotypicaljock]

[He might be responsible, though not in exactly the way Damian thought. He'd surreptitiously lifting the arcade cabinet to vacuum under it and knocked out the plug. When Damian arrives today, the game is flashing its default high scores.

That's fine, right?]

[sonofab]

[More like RUDE and Damian should know. He has a Masters in this particular subject.]

Who did this! [He shouts at Jason and points accusingly to the screen. He already told you he thought Jasons were assholes... this is not helping the case of Jason-kind!]

Feb: Brand new training room.

[sonofab]

[Damian was looking to let off some steam and a little target practice was just the thing. Throwing knives, swords, and some decent gymnastics equipment. If anything, Wonderland at least had its conveniences.

After leaving a training dummy like a pin cushion with the throwing knives, he was on the bars doing some flips.]

[actualwizard]

[ Billy noticed Damian when he walked in but he kept to himself as the kid clearly was trying to blow off some steam. Still, he kept his eye on what he was doing, a small assessment. He was good at what he did, there was room for improvement but that was true with anyone- no one was perfect. Still it was impressive. ]

Well, I think the dummy’s dead at the very least.

[sonofab]

[Damian pauses, holding himself in a handstand on the bars and looks over at Kaplan. Well, it was nice to see the other teen in person-- Wait, 3 years he was apparently gone in his time. So did the make, Kaplan, an adult now?]

He had it coming. [He insists, focusing back on his flip. How did Grayson always get the perfect momentum on this one again? He takes a breath before pushing up and let's go, spinning in the air and would stick his landing, but his legs didn't stay straight and in a fash of mild panic he tried to grab the bars again. Nope, that didn't work, he misses and was coming towards the mats for a hard landing.]

[teenwonder]

[Robin's been doing a good job of keeping things solo since he's been here. But try as he might, he hasn't been good enough to get through this dimensional hurdle. It's annoying.

But if nothing else, there seems to be enough room to keep himself in shape. He thought it was an odd enough hour to be able to have the training room to himself, but it looks like one of the fake Robins is settled here first. His eyes narrow at the parallel bar performance.]

Your shoulders need to be looser. You'll pull a muscle doing it that way.

[sonofab]

[Damian only tenses more at that. Not because the advice was uncalled for, but more because of who it was coming from. He already suspected this faker held similarities to Grayson, but to hear him giving advice on his gymnastics? That just sent a chill through him.]

Is that so? And what gives you that idea, Faker? [Could it perhaps be a circus performers expertise in ariel gymnastics? Though here's Grayson's advice in such a young and demanding tone was almost humorous... or would be if it weren't so aggravating. Wonderland's cruel jokes with his family were just becoming repetitive. No one is laughing Wonderland. He pulls up into a handstand, finally looking at the other Robin, even if upside down, giving a challenging smirk.]

Get up on some bars yourself if you think you know better.

Wildcard.

[sonofab]

((ooc: Got an idea? Hit me up brah~))

backdated to 25th dec

[trabryu]

[ After the invitation (read: challenge) that Damian handed over to him, Mondo couldn't just sit down patiently and wait for an hour to be up. With all the anticipation and excitement, he had to keep himself busy by checking his toolbox and his Komo Bag (a bag with his pupper's necessities, be it food or toys) over and over again to make sure he didn't forget anything. He even idly created some simple wood crafts to let the time pass.

And indeed, it passed much faster when he was doing things, because it was already fifteen minutes before their designated meeting time when he remembered to check the time. It's good that Damian's workshop isn't too far away, though, just two floors up, so Mondo can still drag his motorcycle up the stairs. Don't mind him, passersby.

He'll knock the door (or ring a bell... if it has one) once he's there, and when Damian opens up an uninvited guest will be there to be seen ー a beagle pupper poking out from a bag Mondo's hauling. ]

Yo.
