[this new voice is a little gruff and a lot to the point:]

Who wants to tell me which of these domes has a gym?

[meet jason todd, a guy who uses his fists to solve most problems, including his own brainspiders. he’s decided it doesn’t seem entirely fair that this place healed up all of the injuries he sustained back in gotham before his arrival - jason sorta thinks he deserved that broken arm, thanks. maybe if he’s lucky, he’ll end up with a sparring partner or two and a fresh set of bruises.]

...what are you hoping to accomplish?

[bamboozlement]

Well, y'know what they say about idle hands, right?

[dadenergy]

Yeah. They usually mean to learn how to build a birdhouse.

[bamboozlement]

You seen any birds around lately?

[dadenergy]

...that's not the point.

[bamboozlement]

Sure it is. No point in building houses for birds that aren’t around. That’s a complete waste of time.

[dadenergy]

Then build a swing for the children.

[bamboozlement]

You seen any children around lately?

[now he’s just trolling.]

[dadenergy]

Yeah. There are a lot of kids here.

[Troll better, Jason.]

[bamboozlement]

You sure about that? ‘Cause I haven’t seen any.

[he wasn’t really looking.]

[dadenergy]

[You can hear the slightly sardonic smirk when he responds.]

Look harder?

[bamboozlement]

I dunno, that sounds like a lot of effort I could be spending on other activities.

[blowing up the sphere, for example.]

[dadenergy]

Yeah? Like what?

[bamboozlement]

Kinda always wanted to try my hand at underwater basket-weaving. Seems like this is the perfect place for it.

[dadenergy]

[He chuckles.]

Okay, I get it. You want to keep this tough guy, 'I don't need anybody' image. that's fine. You know where we are when you need us.

[bamboozlement]

Sure do. Might even try to remember it, too.
