Dick Grayson | Young Justice

[justdickingaround]

[Network]

[The video feed clicks on, and there's a young man, possibly in his early 20s, looking directly into it. His dark hair is shaggy, but very kempt, and his smile is subtle.]

Man, you go away for only a few years, and the place changes like crazy. I don't remember nearly this many students when I was attending.

It's good. The professor's got a lot to teach; I'm glad to see he's got so much to work with.

Still, considering how much of a pain me and the rest of us were, I'm kind of whelmed at the lack of chaos going on. You guys are behaving, huh?

[Smirk.]

[Action/Prose]

There was often someone using the Danger Room. After all, it was a good place to practice... well, pretty much anything, as long as you had the clearance. So anyone viewing, either from an open door or a control room viewscreen, shouldn't be surprised to see a simulation being run.

But when that simulation is a circus? That's a little odd.

It's stranger still when the circus isn't on fire, or under attack, or anything.

It's just a circus, with a simulated crowd and ringmaster. And above it all, on the trapeze, is Dick, swinging from one to the other, performing twists, spins, flips, and all sorts of physical feats that would make all but Nightcrawler's head spin.

In a way, it's as impressive as a mock fight with the Brotherhood.

As he performs a corkscrew twist, he spins down, away from the trapeze, straight for the net below. With a strange amount of grace, he bounces against the net, and flips forward, landing on the ground in a perfect stance. His breathing is heavy, but his grin isn't tired in the least.

[That scent cuts his breath short, though fortunately (or unfortunately) it's not quite enough to make him gag. Walking over to where he hears the sound of someone eating, he looks down at Apollo in confusion.]

Are you a student here?

[He blinks a moment before, reaching up to his shoulder and pulling it over to reveal a portion of the markings which cover his irght arm and shoulder]

[She stares, then nods approvingly.]

Alright, ya earned yer name.

'm Marrow. Name fits, like yers. How'd ya land in this stinkhole?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

[Apollo looks up at the new scent and voice. He doesn't wait until he's swallowed to reply, so his response is a little hard to understand.]

Yeah. You just get here? Ain't smelled your scent around before.

Re: [network]

[sonofhulk]

Marrow. [He gives a slight nod after repeating the name.]

My father thought it would be a good, safe place for me to be.


Is it really a stinkhole here?

[Skaar nods in answer to Apollo's question before asking another of his own.]

Why are you a rabbit out here?

[He would've assumed the place would have plenty to eat so the students don't have to go foraging, but he could be wrong.]

If it's that bad she'd probably find herself in physical pain.

Cosplay
At Least You Have Some Experience As The Principles Are Really No Different
I Much Prefer To Make Things From Scratch Rather Than Alter Existing Clothing
However Finding Room To Store Fabric Will Be A Bit Of A Challenge
Do They Offer Up Space For Clubs
Or Would We Have To Make Due With Meeting In One Of The Provided Student Boarding Rooms

[doingthemistything]

There's a soccer team that could always use new members. Or a manager, failing that.
I think there's a fencing team, and one of the teachers was talking about a chess club. The drama department could also probably use an extra pair of hands.
If you do get the fashion club going, I'd be interested; it'll give me an excuse to start sewing again beyond mending my own clothing.

It's nice to meet you, Kanaya!

[braveredrose]

[Nah, this girl's just far too friendly.]

Are you a new student here? It's nice to meet you.

[likethestars]

Im Afraid I Know Very Little About Sports As Ive Never Been Much Of A Fan
Chess Does Not Sound Like A Terrible Idea However
And I Would Not Mind Working With The Drama Department Especially For Costuming If They Need it

Psh. Safe. Right. 's as safe as any place is fer spikes, I guess. I know safer places, but what can ya do.

Jes' is. Only good thing's th' constant food. Ain't found another reason t' stay here, but I gotta. So what can ya do, y'know?

[Action]

[gotthescent]

[Apollo swallows the meat that's in his mouth and bites into the rabbit again, tearing off another piece.]

Cuz I was hungry and felt like something fresher 'an what's in the cafeteria.

[Said like it's completely normal to do something like this.]

F in English and already held back one year. Guess \o/

[comparative_insanity]

Oh, they usually allow us to make use of one of the leisure rooms or lesser used classrooms, and there's always some way of storing things.

[He laughs.] I have done some of my own pattern-making and such - mostly for historical clothing - but nice fabrics are always a bit on the expensive side. But I think clubs get a bit of a money from the school - oh, and I'm sure Lorna would like it! [And that would help with money. Never say he's not practical.]

Oh the pain!

[sonofhulk]

I am. How long have you been here?

[braveredrose]

I got here towards the start of February, so not very long.

[doingthemistything]

Well, to each their own, as they say.
As for the drama department work, Mr. Wagner is the one you'll want to talk to about it!

So, I take it you're a new student here?

[musou_tensei]

Hmm... 20 US dollars.

[byeontae_geomi]

-He gets a chuckle in return, the voice eventually settling on one spot, a violet spark accompanying her eventual appearance. Her left eye flashed as she came into view.-

Sup, handsome.

Re: [network]

[sonofhulk]

I guess...Dad may not like hearing that. He doesn't want me dealing with too much....stress.

[sonofhulk]

I see. [Then, as an afterthought since Dad's told him all about those manners and such.]

Oh. It's nice to meet you too.

[sonofhulk]

Hi... [Well, she didn't attack him and she is here in the school so she shouldn't be seen as a threat. But something instinctive keeps him on edge, something inside.

He then recalls that she referred to him as a "celebrity student".]

You know me?
