w0, friday

[wisterin]

[ She saw him cry, and she's only known him for a week, but she suspects that's not normal for him. It's concerning.

She waits for him to come out of the communal bathroom. He deserves a little privacy. She speaks out the moment she sees him exiting: ]

Wayne-kun?

[bittybat]

[The wailing and sobbing has ceased--for now. But his face is mottled red, his eyes blistered, and his face wet. But wet all over, like he may have splashed it with water.

He freezes, and when he spots her, his eyes begin to well up against his will.]

Go away, [he croaks.]

[wisterin]

No. I'm worried.

[ She's not smiling, her brows furrowed. That's how worried she is. ]

Did someone use their ability on you? [ That's her first guess. ] Or did something happen last night?

[bittybat]

[Oh no, she isn't smiling. Awful?]

I would... like to know that as well. It... just... [He has to pause. Breathe.] When I woke, it started happening.

[wisterin]

[ When a grumpy child who acts much older than his age starts to cry, even she can't keep her smile. ]

Can I ask where you woke up?

[bittybat]

[His brows furrow.]

The cabin... at the end of the path. The one with the jail. I stayed because it was one of the most suspicious places.

[wisterin]

[ That makes her smile for one reason or another. ]

It is a very suspicious location.

[ Out of everyone, did it have to be the ten year old who was affected? ]

Were you alone?

w1, thurs before curfew

[bittybat]

[Where the HELL is Shinobu after they come wandering out of the damn woods crispy?!

AAAAAAAAA.

Is he returning a favor? Who knows.]

[wisterin]

[ She is looking around for plants? Herbs? Collecting fruits and other things.

She's fine. Minor burns are fine. ]

Good evening, Wayne-kun! Have you come to hear about a cabin in the woods?

[bittybat]

I came to see if you were too stubborn to be treated.

[This is his excuse, and he is sticking to it.]

I wouldn't mind hearing about it, however. If you told Grayson, I can simply ask him, but hearing it from the source is preferable.

[wisterin]

[ She is treated! Her burns, etc, are wrapped. There's no sign of her bloody nose that I forgot to indicate last night. Everything is good. ]

I'm afraid I haven't had an extended conversation with him, but I was thinking I should.

[ Should she ditch Damian to go to Dick now? ]

We forced our way into a cabin we found in the fog. Inside, at first, it seemed normal enough with a table and chairs. There was a bathroom and a kitchen. There was a drawing that...

[ She frowns. ]

It will make anyone feel dizzy upon looking on it, but I will show you, if you wish.

[bittybat]

[STOP. He makes a bit of a face. DON'T LET DICK GET ALL THE INFO!! Dick always gets the good stuff. 😔]

A drawing. [There is only a slight bit of pause before he very confidently says:] Show me.

[wisterin]

[ She takes out the drawing and offers it to him. Mod says anyone who looks at it will have their vision blur the longer they look at it, getting faint and dizzy. ]

Please don't look at it too long. That was only one of the things we found. There was another room with much more, but I understood it only a little more than the drawing.

w2, monday or tues which is best

[bittybat]

[His first novice, idiot mistake is he doesn't even come up with the right social graces because not only is he ten, but he has never once even thought about this a single day in his life!!

So the most he does when he appears after hunting Shinobu is to clear his throat loudly enough to get her attention.]

let's go with tuesday

[wisterin]

[ It's fine? Shinobu doesn't mind. Clearing his throat isn't polite, but it isn't the rudest thing he could so, she she'll accept it.

Don't ask where Shinobu is right now because I don't know. She can be anywhere. ]

Hello, Wayne-kun. What do you need?

[bittybat]

[He has...... maybe brushed his hair, or something like it. It's not, like, gelled back, but he has swept it out of his face. A lot like Dick's hair might be? He does not look like Dick in features, though.

He is still unfortunately in the green and gold al Ghul outfit, though there is no cape. His arms are folded behind his back.]

To fulfill the third task.

[wisterin]

[ That's adorable. --me, ara.

Shinobu is a little surprised. She could guess that Damian didn't hate her that much because he said a couple positive things about her, but that he likes her enough to ask her to do the third task... Truly surprising.

It makes her smile something more than she has for the past week. ]

All right. Where would you like to go?

[ It's a good thing she didn't see him vibe with Ogata during the trial. Time to be tumblr problematic. ]

[bittybat]

[NO!!!!]

...The enclosure with all of the animals.

[The safest place; attentions will be divided, and THEY will be divided by animals. Not that he had any intention in the slightest of getting close to her. Social distancing.

He turns without offering anything except to sort of go slow in an effort to wait on her to follow.]

[wisterin]

If you want to fulfill the task, we should walk side by side.

[ She has no problem keeping up with him, whether he goes slow or not, but she's offering him solid advice for his future. ]

w3, tuesday

[bittybat]

[Hello, he is peeking into the lab inside the plasma portal since he's a nosy little brat. And he's surprised to find... Shinobu?

She is, like, the last person who should be in here messing around. Hmmmm.]

What are you doing in here, Kocho?

[He is just gonna wander in.]

[wisterin]

I'm trying to figure out how a computer works.

[ It's not going well. She's like an 80 year old in the modern era, clicking around and not doing anything right. ]

[bittybat]

Why? Because of the cabin?

[He glances at what she's doing, feeling himself age a hundred years. But he doesn't admonish her for it.]

[wisterin]

Yes, but if I'm going to be here for however long, I shouldn't stay ignorant for any reason.

[ Not just because of failure.

Also, maybe he should speak up and help her? Damian, please. ]

[bittybat]

[Stop saying things that just make him respect you more, Shinobu, I beg you.]

Fair enough.

[Fine, fine. He moves over to her and the computer. How tf do you explain technology like this to a ye olde.]

It's a device used to create, store, and transport information quickly using its own processing language. A series of ones and zeroes arranged in a certain pattern. You don't see this happening in real time.

It's a bookshelf, a notebook, and a postal service in one. Essentially. There is a lot more it can do in my timeline, but those are the very basics. It is... not unlike a trained dog to you, I guess. It's a machine, like C-3PO. You dictate a certain predetermined command, and it will do it for you. Most use input from the mouse and keyboard. [He points to them.] Advanced ones can even use voice.

[wisterin]

[ shinobu can’t help being herself, so damian is just going to have to suffer. the concept of binary code is beyond her at the moment, but she can sort of?? understand.

she looks at the monitor. ]

My, things really do become quite advanced in the future. That sounds very convenient.

[ imagine... crows going out of business bc it’s the information age. ]

What are the most common commands?
