[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.

So, so late to this party.

[A birthday party? For Bruce? Oh, yeah. Tim is definitely making an appearance--with maybe a little bit of a smirk for him when he finally approaches.]

You know, I'm suddenly blindingly glad that he doesn't know when my birthday is. Having fun?

never late!

[Bruce - currently in possession of a piece of cake that one of the party-goers shoved into his hands - says nothing for a long moment, merely looking at Tim with his best you'll regret saying that later expression. It's nothing more overt than a slightly arched eyebrow and a quirk to his mouth, but it's there regardless, and Tim is one of the few who can decipher the expression.

But it doesn't last, and before too long Bruce offers Tim the plate of cake.]


Well, it's hardly what I'm used to back home, but it's been... entertaining so far.
mrsarcastic003: (Looking Down and Smiling)

Yay!

[Tim gives him the barest smirk of I know I will, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity as he takes the piece of cake.]

Yeah? Making friends and influencing people?

I don't need a party to do that, Tim.

[Gosh, what a pedestrian thought.]

Silly me. You're right, though. Things like this are just a chance to enjoy yourself.

[SO INNOCENT.]

[TIMOTHY JACKSON DRAKE-WAYNE HE IS GOING TO SEND YOU TO YOUR ROOM.]

Because I am so fond of doing so.

[SOUR LOOK FOREVERRRRRR. And of course, he's being sarcastic but also... making fun of himself, in a sort of off-beat way. It's one of the side-effects to having a fairly stable life and no bevvy of supervillains knocking in perpetuity on his door.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Bruce Wayne is developing that rare creature called a 'sense of humour'.]

[GOOD LUCK KEEPING HIM THERE, HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS.

And he can tell that Bruce is making fun of himself, and it's... really nice to see, actually. Bruce's sense of humor is usually sorely underused, so this? A relaxed Bruce that isn't too srs bsns to make a joke? Is pretty awesome. That doesn't mean he won't keep teasing him, though.

Tim nods, keeping a straight face as he does.]


I've always known this about you.

[He will hog-tie you and put you in a box and put that box in another box and drop it under fifteen meters of hyperbolic acid don't think he won't.]

Yes, well. That happens with family.

[Bruce, that is so cheating. :|]

I hear that.

[And smiling.]

I guess that's not really a bad thing.

[personal profile] cowled 2013-04-04 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
No. I suppose not.

[He's. Smiling. A little, as he looks out over the crowd. Duty calls.]

I should probably do the rounds. Do some of that influencing people and making friends you were talking about. Take care of yourself, Tim. I'll see you after the party.

['For our other business'. Without so much as saying it, it's perfectly implied.]
mrsarcastic003: (Looking Down and Smiling)

[personal profile] mrsarcastic003 2013-04-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Always.

[He gives him a grin and a little wave.]

Try to have some fun.

You'd do well to follow your own advice, son.

[And with a faint salute, he's off into the crowd.]
