[open] In comics, 35 is the new 55.

Characters: Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and YOU
Date: Today!
Location: Metal Sector
Situation: It's Bruce's birthday! And he'll celebrate it whether he wants to or not.
Warnings/Rating: C for cute

It was mid-afternoon by the time Dick managed to make a video post to the network.

"I doubt he told anyone, but today is Bruce's birthday. I say this calls for a party, don't you? So I'm throwing one in Metal sector this afternoon. Be there or be a quadrilateral with four right angles and sides of equal length."

He grins.

"And don't worry. I'll make sure the birthday boy shows up."

The feed ends. He won't reply to any of the responses, but he'll be clearly visible whenever your character decides to wander over to the party site.


It's nothing too stellar, compared to the birthday bashes back home. Then again, those parties never really suited Bruce. That plus the limited resources he had in Keeliai meant the party was pretty low-key.

The party itself takes place outside in a spacious area in Metal that nobody ever really used. A few tables are covered in snacks and drinks from all over. No booze, so it's BYOB. He's pretty sure he'd be grounded for life otherwise. The decorations leave a little to be desired. There's a banner with "Happy Birthday, Bruce" in English in what is clearly Dick's handwriting. That's more or less it.

But he did clear an area as an impromptu dance floor and managed to set up a soundsystem. It's playing the closest approximation of the music Bruce actually likes. Some of it sounds suspiciously like The Clash.

He did manage to acquire a cake and some candles, though. (Dick tried to make one. It wasn't pretty.)

All in all, he was satisfied. Now to find Bruce and make good on his promise.

Hi, birthday boy!

[Bruce, if you're going to have a playboy persona, you're going to have to deal with Nita being Nita at you. She is about two drinks drunk and barefoot, though the two facts are unrelated, and she's still fully functional albeit very cheerful, even taking into account her default level of cheer is "Care Bear."]

[Oh, but he just takes her in stride like a true Gothamite playboy.]

Hello, darling. I don't believe we've met, and you find me at something of a social disadvantage.
littlecousin: (dress code? who cares‚ i'm hot.)

Nita Prentiss. I'm a friend of Favrielle's.

[She smiles widely and sticks out her hand to shake. FRIENDS WITH THE WORLD.]

[Rather than shaking hands, Bruce bows over it with a touch of theatrical charm.]

It's lovely to meet you. Favrielle's told me a great deal about you.
littlecousin: (damn right it's better than yours)

[Drunk as she is, Nita barely notices the bowing, since it's protocol in Atlantis, and Atlanteans of near-equal rank clasp wrists, which means she'd never done much that even resembled shaking hands before the surface, either, not having many near-peers back home.]

Oh, cool.

[Nita is devoid of the fear that people talking behind her back are saying bad things.]

Her universe doesn't have supers, so she kinda got some culture shock here.

I think we've all been suffering from a little of that, honestly.

[He tips one hand to the side in a sort of acknowledging gesture meant to encompass the entirety of the party.]

But it's nice to have little familiar touches like this that can bring everyone together.
