[shootsoff]

hey guys, pop quiz. what's the coolest thing you've seen here?

Comments

[deathkid]

a snow cerebus
(i kinda helped make him.)

[shootsoff]

you mean like the three headed hell hound?

[deathkid]

exactly.
we even made a ball for him.
he loves rubber balls

[shootsoff]

dude you say that like you personally know him

[deathkid]

i do.
nico di angelo, son of hades.
you could say the underworld is my second home.

[shootsoff]

well that's super creepy.

nice to meet you nico. i'm roy. roy harper.

[deathkid]

[ wait, that name sounds familiar... ]

you wouldn't happen to know a guy named jason
would you?

[shootsoff]

jason? you mean jason todd? yeah you could say that.

[deathkid]

because he's here, and he's spoken about you before.

[ more like shared memories with nico, but there you go. ]

[shootsoff]

oh yeah i know jaybird's here i ran into him at speed dating. surprised he mentioned me.

[deathkid]

it was more like...
i walked into one of his memories.
it happened a while back.

[shootsoff]

[U G H. Of course.]

figures. that guy never talks about his feelings.

[deathkid]

tell me about it.
you practically have to drag it out of him
or get him drunk

[shootsoff]

i mean he's got his reasons you just gotta be patient and annoy the snot out of him till he caves

[deathkid]

sounds about right.
you guys must be really good friends.

[ something nico already knows given how broken up jason was in the memory with roy. ]

[shootsoff]

[Well, that's complicated. Roy's mad as hell at Jason right now, and he's got every right to be as far as he's concerned.

But still...]

yeah we are. he's my best friend.

[deathkid]

that's great.
i'm glad to meet one of jason's friends
he's helped me through some rough spots
and i consider him a good friend too.

maybe with you here, the two of us
can figure out a way to get him to stop working himself to death.

[shootsoff]

yeah me too. good to hear he actually has friends that's pretty rare for him.

(hah)

fat chance of that but i'm willing to give it a go

[deathkid]

yeah, there are a few of us around
despite his best efforts otherwise.

good. i'd offer to help him,
but i'm sure you know how that turns out
