Gotta say, this place is finally startin' to feel like a prison. [He's not especially bothered by it.]

And what the Admiral said wasn't far off. You can all whine and throw your fits 'bout having your alcohol taken away and your high tech gym closed off, but this is a goddamn prison. Fact is, most of us deserve a hell of a lot worse than what we've been getting.

Buck up, would you? This isn't a resort. We're here for a reason, maybe you should think about what that is.

[Private to DEAN]

[but here he discards that act, or at least the parts that were an act.] What the hell is going on up there?

Been there, done that, don't care. [ She did only last six months... ]

Besides, I'm my own person. What do I care what he does or doesn't like me to do?

[hungryanhorny]

Kinda don't have an inmate, though. Now I got my bar taken away, too.

[anewlanguage]

[He barks a laugh] They didn't guard those very well?

Hah! Now I see why you couldn't stay on his team, you don't march to his beat, do ya?

What d'you do now that you're Bat-free?

video;

[ichoosefight]

Nowadays?

[ She grins. Shrugs. ]

I'm Batgirl.

[with_my_teacup]

Not well enough to keep me from gettin' out.

[There's real pride there.]

[Yup now he's laughing. He likes you, kid. It's horrible.]

How's that work out with Cassandra?

[anewlanguage]

You got any escape skills you wanna trade?

[with_my_teacup]

When things get less restrictive around here, hit me up. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[anewlanguage]

You have a deal. What d'you want to go by?

[with_my_teacup]

Riddick, generally.

[ooc: poke me if I'm misreading that question.]

[ She has that habit, yeah. ]

She's pretty happy with it. Actually she's the one who gave me the outfit.

[anewlanguage]

[Got it right!]

Most people call me Cain. How long were you locked up before you found the exit?

video;

[anewlanguage]

She gave you hers?

[That's surprising, if so. And it doesn't fit Steph at all; this girl has an endless supply of words.]

[with_my_teacup]

The first time-- three years. After that, never longer than a few months at a time. My prison sentence's been more cumulative than anything.

[He chuckles, because that's a grim little joke.]

I got my own design after a while, obviously. It needed more purple.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, I probably would. They're always hard to get a hold of.

[He laughs, because really, he hasn't seen a lot of people get done with Batman and still come out with a favorite color.

And then he can't help but wince inwardly, because does Cassandra have a favorite? Has she ever considered it? Could she even tell someone if they asked?]

...You're from ahead of me, seems like. How's... [Cassandra] ...the city?

[anewlanguage]

Should put in a revolving door for you, eh? Figure that's what they'll do for me, sooner or later.

[ichoosefight]

Pretty much like it's always been. One disaster after another but the good guys still come out on top.

What happened before you, you know, died? [ Because it's Cain, why does she give a shit about sensitivity. ]

video;

[anewlanguage]

['Good guys' is still a term that he is much too cynical to take seriously.

And her lack of sensitivity just earns her a grin and a shrug.]

I turned myself in, got locked up in solitary. They were transferring me to another prison and one of my former washed up pupils decided to take a shot at me.

video;

[ichoosefight]

Oh man, that was like, forever ago. [ That was before the gang war. Before everything. ]

You are so far behind the times, man.

video;

[anewlanguage]

You wanna catch me up? [On the Cassandra parts, if nothing else. There's a distinct note of anxiety in his voice.]

video;

[ichoosefight]

Not particularly. Cass doesn't talk about you a lot, but she talks enough for me to know that I hate your guts.

video;

[anewlanguage]

[Snort] Figured that was a given.

I meant her, she okay?
