--ill you stop that? You're all about discipline, right? How about you focus and keep your fingernails away from your back? You've just about made the raw skin bleed again... man, those stitches need off, don't they?

[the voice post opens abruptly with an interjection from a voice that some people might recognize as one of the newest comms specialists on the ship, so that this might almost appear to be some kind of accidental recording, before a second voice, far less familiar (except to maybe, like, two or three people-- i'm looking at you bran) answers in something akin to a snarl.]

Don't lecture me, you're not my father.

[which is pretty much the most juvenile thing damian could have said, but give him a break okay, the increased sensory thing was already playing havoc on his hyper-vigilance and then his stitches decided to start itching like mad.

he continues after a moment though, tone a little more measured, in the way that gritting your teeth can be considered measured.]

I am perfectly aware they need to come out, which is precisely why i turned this [probably a gesture at the communicator, but since this is voice, nobody gets to see it] on. So would you shut up for two minutes so I can find someone to take care of this, or would you prefer to cut them out yourself?

[audible face palming can be heard over the connection before the first voice cuts in with a little more purposeful direction this time.]

Guys, and ladies, we really need somebody with good medical knowledge for follow-up of extensive surgery. Familiarity with Tranquility's medical resources is a plus. Any takers?

[and then once more from the sullen child in the corner:] Somebody who understands the meaning of discretion.

Sure. But I'd still prefer not seeing that get infected or anything. So medical skills still higher priority.

[today's network post is brought to you by the letter 'd'. for dick and damian are dumb.]


((ooc: red is dick, green is damian, both will probably answer!))

You two are taking nicely to each other. [ Angry? Annoyed? Bitter? Himself? How does he sound, really? ]

Play nice or you're both going to opposite corners of the ship. [ Now he's teasing. ]

Hey, the fight thing was a one-off situation.

Plus, which one of us do you think will stay in whatever corner of the ship you put him?

[ Jason, please. ]

Guess you're the golden boy no matter what universe you're from. [ He snorts. ]

Do I really have to say, "I can make you?" Cause I will.

voice; 75% encryption

[peckish4action]

... what's that even supposed to mean?

[ Dick's genuine confusion was genuine. Sorry, he had a lot to catch up with, when it came to, ah, sibling rivalry. ]

And you'd try. How would you even know if we'd stay where you left us, when it'd take you so long to get from one to the other, anyway?

It means you're Bruce's favorite. [ He's exaggerating, but he can't help but deny that he's always felt like the second-string replacement. ]

[peckish4action]

Do you really not care about the names thing, or are you just being...

[ ... no, he's not going to say 'an ass,' but even he thinks it. ]

[ He sighs, though, and rubs his face, almost audible over the device. ]

Sorry. The 'favorites' thing probably wasn't nice on you at all. Or... the rest, either.

He might not be the same one, precisely, but at least I know from experience that he's dependable.

[the 'and you're not' is silent, but heavily implied. damian feels awful, so really, he's in the mood to wound. sorry jason.]

voice; 50% encryption

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

[ Christ, Damian. Why do you have to dig the knife deeper to a guy who hasn't done anything? (Yet) ]

It's hard to be dependable when you never got all the facts.

voice; 50% encryption

[born_this_wayne]

[because damian is grumpy and jason is an easy person to blame for his stitches and because damian is just an awful person in general really.]

I don't know why you ever expected Mother to simply feed you information without making you fight for it. Does that sound like her at all?

voice; 50% encryption

[ex_agoodsoldier468]

Fight her? Yeah, kid. I don't know about what she was like after you were born, but she never made me fight her for anything.

[ No, she just pitted him against all the teachers she sent him to, in order for him to unlearn all of Bruce's "sanctity of life" bull. ]

voice; 50% encryption

[born_this_wayne]

Perhaps she simply didn't think you were worth her time once she was done with you. Or she didn't think you had what it took to earn the information, anyway.

[oh wow damian. ouch.]

Voice [Continuing the letter D!]

[acapriciousthing]

Dick? Damian?

[Boy does she miss the powers that would have let her know this right away.

Voice oops secret identities...

[peckish4action]

... who is this?

[ Because, outside as much privacy as private conversations with Damian and Jason, the name Dick hasn't been said on Tranquility. As far as he knows. So color him curious. ]

Voice (She's oddly hard to keep secrets from...)

[acapriciousthing]

It's alright, people don't realize who I am. I'm the Death for your universe.

[And because that's the opposite of alright, she quickly adds]

Who only does the death thing in your universe.

Voice (Yeah, but does she have to say them out loud in public?)

[peckish4action]

Um.

Mine or the other boy's universe? Because they're different.

[ Look, he knows that Damian's not hiding, he's just. Habits. ]

Voice (Yeah, but does she have to say them out loud in public?)

[acapriciousthing]

His, technically. But the pair are more closely related than most universes that have people here, so it's a bit fuzzy.

Voice [the most appropriate letter d ever]

[born_this_wayne]

[whoops dick so much for 'no names on the field. at least damian wasn't the one to say it.

damian's a little grumpy when he answers. but really that's to be expected when his back is itching worse than a particularly vicious case of the chicken pox. which he's never had to deal with, so this is actually an entirely unique experience for him.

he doesn't like it.]

What.

Voice [It's a good letter D!]

[acapriciousthing]

[Secret identities don't really work with someone who refers to costumed supervillains by their given names.]

I was just surprised to hear from you. I didn't realize you two were on board.

Voice [not for damian D:]

[born_this_wayne]

[damian doesn't really care about the secret identity thing, that was always bruce and dick. he never really saw the point.

and he's been going by damian up here anyway.]

I didn't realize you were meant to be informed when we arrived. [snotty child is snotty]

Voice [Or most of the Batfamily...]

[acapriciousthing]

[She's heard worse. People tend to not be at their best when they meet her.]

I like to keep track of people from home. And no, you most likely shouldn't remember who I am.

[There is little that he knows of doctors and surgery, beyond what small knowledge he has gained on this ship. But Bran does recognize Damian's voice, and if he needs some help--]

The doctors in the medbay will all help, if you have need of it. They have great skill.

What happened?

video;

[born_this_wayne]

[as if damian would trust his medical care to just anyone. and he wasn't really looking forward to some bleeding heart physician to worry about his scars. thus the casting call.

damian looks exceedingly put out, hands twitching in his lap with the need to scratch at his back, scowl evident on his face.]

A surgery I underwent prior to arriving here. The stitches are ready to come out.

video;

[wolfdreamer]

[Solemnly, Bran nods. Stitches are not unknown to him, even if maesters work their healing skills differently than doctors.]

Then you should go to the medbay. They will be able to help with that, and do it safely, so you don't fall ill. Especially if it was after a surgery.

video;

[born_this_wayne]

[tetchily, as if he'd let the stitches make him sick (he totally would out of stubbornness though).]

I am perfectly healthy.

video;

[wolfdreamer]

You must be, if your wounds have healed so well. But this ship can cause sickness. Once there was a sickness that came that left nearly everyone sick, and turned people blue.

It was a long time ago. But you should be careful.
