Summary: A MASS MINGLING POST
Rating: What are ratings
Log:

[Anywhere in Johto, there are people interacting. Some of these strangers interacting with other strangers. In short, this is The Ultimate Mingling post, where everyone can run into each other. Primarily for those in the fourth wall who run into another oddball from some other mythical land who's going "What's this place?" just like them, but for everyone who wants to just continue going nuts.

And yes, please, go nuts.]

[You know, canon hasn't actually addressed whether Jason's around or not.

Eh, let's say he was and is still presumed dead. Sounds good.]

...Jason?

[Sounds legit. Hell if I can make heads or tails of YJ canon, oops.]

Only took you one guess. Congratulations, Dick.

[He's simultaneously freaked out (the dead stay dead wtf) and happy. It comes out as a look of vulnerability.]

But you... you can't be here. Unless...am I dead?

Unless hell is full of cuddly shit out straight out of a kids' movie, I'd say you're probably fine.

[He can't help but smile a little. Yeah, that's Jason.]

You're really alive. But how?

Oh, you know how it goes. One run-in with Ra's and Talia and you're pretty much literally set for life.

Or I'm just screwing with you and you really are dead.

A Lazarus pit.

[Very concerned:] Jason, what did they make you do?

Oh, please. Don't play the concerned big brother now, it's a little late.

[Quietly:] I know, and that's my fault. I should've been clearer, should've tried harder, should've been there more. You don't want my excuses but I'm sorry. So sorry.

But don't think for a minute I never cared. I did. I still do.

Don't start that shit with me. Don't break out the whole holier-than-thou Saint Grayson act, because you're preaching to someone that's not going to listen.

Say you 'should have' done whatever all you want. It won't change anything.

I'm not trying to preach. I'm just saying all the things I never got a chance to say. I know "should've" means nothing at this point. And I know I can never make it up to you. But please, Jason, let me try.

It's too late for that. You should already know that much without hearing it from me.

It's never too late. You have another chance. Another chance to have the life you should've had the first time. The family you should've had.

Don't be an idiot. That won't happen and you know it.

Why not? Everyone would want you to come home.

I don't have a home to go back to.

Last I checked, Wayne manor was still standing.

I don't belong there anymore and you damn well know that, Dick. I've got my own thing going on now, I'm not going to be a part of your happy little fun brigade.

[Confused but cautious:] What do you have going on?

I'm cleaning up Gotham and doing what the rest of you won't.

Cleaning up how?

By taking control.

Taking control? You're not making sense. You're not the power-hungry type, Jason.
