WHO: Dick (Robin) and OPEN to people at the Tower.
WHERE: Titans Tower.
WHEN: Backdated to last week? GO WITH THE FLOW! There is no timeline.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Dick was poisoned. He only spends time at the Tower for sad reasons.
FORMAT: Quicklog.
[He hadn't really been able to complain when Tim had dragged him to the Tower because he wasn't entirely there, yet.
His mind is back, now, and he feels both completely stupid and useless, and just plain annoyed that he told Tim he'd be staying there until there were no traces of toxin in his blood anymore.
He hadn't planned on really listening, but he'd tried standing up and fleeing subtly not that long ago, and he'd nearly fallen because of the wave of dizziness that had attacked him. He hadn't told Tim -- although this is the infirmary and there are probably cameras -- and he'd silently agreed to really stay in bed for at least a day. And then they'd see.
He really hates staying still and having someone else take care of him.]
(OOC: You can have your char know Dick is there because Tim told them, or have it be a surprise for them, either way work :>)

[ He pulled up a chair and sat down, cracking open his own soda. ] I got 'ported out for a couple of days. Spent a year back home.
no subject
You still just look old, [Dick says, obviously joking.] Except you're even older now. Heh.
[He rubs the back of his neck.] How disastrous was that year? [A pause.] Did you remember the City while you were there?
no subject
It was pretty disastrous. [ He leans forward in his seat and looks at the floor, quickly rubbing a hand over his face. ] And no. Of course I didn't remember anything.
no subject
You're not furry and animal-y so it could have been worse? [He winces at his own words.] Uh, forget I ever said that. Are you from when Tim is, now?
no subject
Tim's still ahead of me. I just went back for the Crisis and the aftermath, basically. Kon's not even back, where I come from.
no subject
At least you know he comes back.
[He pauses, and uses the time to open his coke and take a few sips.] Well. Welcome back either way. Uh -- if you're happy you're back. If you wanted to stay over there then it sucks and I'm sorry.
[Another pause during which something else crosses his mind.] Oh man. Does the whole timeline fuck up means you broke up with Kitty?
no subject
At this rate... I guess I could have it either way. [ Then he amends. ] Well. Mostly. I don't know.
[ And then, yes, that. ] Yeah. We're... Done. Temporarily. Taking a break. I don't really... Yeah. I don't get it, but yeah.
no subject
He likes Kitty. There aren't that many people here he likes at all, if he's honest with himself, and he got attached to Kitty pretty fast.
He shouldn't be feeling that Gar being ported out sucks because of the effect it's gonna have about whether he's seeing Kitty as often or not, but he does. He's going to say it's because he's still dizzy-ish and can't think straight, but really, it's because he's selfish.]
Temporarily for how long? Did you break up? [He sighs and feels like crossing his arm on his chest. He doesn't.]
This sucks.
no subject
She broke up with me. I... Guess I can't blame her. I don't know for how long and, yes, this sucks.
no subject
She's still a honorary Titan. [NO DISCUSSION.]
Is anything else going badly in your life? [He sounds a bit more compassionate, now. It's starting to sound like nothing at all is going well for Gar and it makes Dick uncomfortable.
Because he considers Gar to be his friend, and also because he feels he's missing a lot. (And here comes the guilty feeling at wanting to move back into the Tower.)]
no subject
Life's good.
He grins, but it's more of a haha-fuck-my-life grin.]
Pretty much everything's shit.
no subject
Right now, it really feels like he should be saying something to make Gar feel better, but he has nothing.]
And if someone dares say it can't get worse, it's gonna get worse. [He makes a face.]
no subject
[ He notices that face, Dick, and raises you an attempt at a comforting smile. ] Don't worry about it, alright? All my crap doesn't have to be anybody else's problem.
no subject
Yeah well you should also have had plenty of time to learn that when people care about other people, they tend to care when their friends got problems.
You know. Just sometimes. It happens.
It might even be why... [uhmmm, he loses his flow for a second and has to remind himself about what he was saying.] Why you're here. To check up on me 'cause you care.
Or I hope. 'Cause if you're here to take away the DS, I am really not lending it to you.
no subject
You're right, you're right. I just... I forgot, I guess. Sorry.
I do care, too. [ Just in case he did need to say it. ] And I'm totally not in it to steal the Nintendo doohicky. Gimme the Game-boy back any day.
no subject
Your age is showing again, you and your Game Boy. You're probably thinking about a black and white one. This is from before I was born, y'know.
[He stops and tilts his head on the site a little.]
I didn't mean it to sound like I was... lecturing you or anything. I wasn't. [A pause.] I hope stuff gets better, somehow...
no subject
Thanks. I appreciate it. I haven't really talked to anybody yet, so... It's good to hear.
no subject
[He smiles back. He's not the one who's feeling hideous, here. Dick's life is doing pretty good if you don't think about recent encounters with the Joker too much.
And even then, he'd had worse encounters with the Joker. He still has both his eyes.]
no subject
[ He smiles a little crookedly and, for lack of anything better to do, takes another drink, slouching in his chair. ]
no subject
Although he did take a lot of time to getting used to this all.]
Are you the type of guy to get suicidal? [MORE TACT. Yup. That's a perfectly valid question to ask, though, considering...]
no subject
no subject
[Dick's relieved, either way. To his knowledge, people came back when they got killed. Every single one of them. Maybe killing yourself wouldn't work that way.]
You'd think heroes would have a high suicide rate with all the crappy lives spreading around, but -- have you ever heard of anyone doing that? Not to save the world, I mean.
[Lalala, man he sucks at cheering people up. He's talking about suicide now. He leans back against the headboard, closing up a bit.] Now's when you should probably find another topic to talk about.
