I suppose I am be grateful for the sudden kidnapping when it came.
It could not have come at a better time.
But I wonder how many were brought here to escape their lives rather than the immediate situation at hand?

My name is Bruce Wayne from Gotham. I doubt there are any here from my city, but if you are, please contact me.

I also have a question for anyone reading this: is the Friendr application truly useful? Does anyone find suitable friends that way, or is it best to find them the old-fashioned way?

Thank you

Um... I'd have to check around old network archives. The one person to say it to me in person had a mask on.

Oh, probably. But class is really boring a lot of the time.
Work I do it when things are dead, there aren't always people in the diner.

[bruceno]

Is that so
What kind of mask was it?

[ Please don't say an owl. That'll really bring Brucey down. ]

Really? What kind of diner do you work at?

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um, it was a black filigree half-mask that was magic so I couldn't actually see who was under it. But he was over six feet tall, very athletic, good dancer, and over twenty but not over thirty.

*Lola's really good at details, when she wants to be.*

Um... it's called the Sunset, it's just off town square. Better than average coffee, fries are a little soggy. Really nice atmosphere. Unless you don't tip well then you should go somewhere else.

[bruceno]

I see
Not someone I know

I can't say I've ever tried tipping before
But I promise I would be fair

[threatenwithcuteness]

You know a lot of people in masks?

*Felt like the question.*

Is this a 'you stole from diners and never paid' or 'you're too rich to really worry about waitresses in diners?'

[bruceno]

Know of more like

Not exactly either
I have never eaten at a diner before

[ Which he knows makes him sound like a child, but he refuses to let these things embarrass him any longer. There are worse things than being sheltered. ]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Huh. All of that is really weird.

*Lola please.*

[bruceno]

I suppose so.
My childhood wasn't typical.

[ Which should be obvious from his first response. ]

[threatenwithcuteness]

I don't think typical childhoods lead to being here.

I mean, you have to feel like you don't belong to even end up here.

[bruceno]

Does that include you, too?

[ Bruce wouldn't say that he didn't belong where he came from. His family was, by and large, synonymous with Gotham. Perhaps it is his views that make him a pariah among his prestigious peers. ]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um, you're kinda just some text on a screen? No emojis or anything. Not really feeling like telling you a bunch about myself until I have a face to go with the name.

But no, I don't really think my childhood was all that normal... thinking about it.

[bruceno]

That is fair
Though, what is an emoji?

Text - I'm so sorry.

[threatenwithcuteness]

so text isnt so good for like, emotion?? it doesnt say much about how i think r feel

but if i add ths 😁

u can get a bettr sense of how i feel

thats an emoji

...dont use the eggplant emoji
it means something

[bruceno]

I see

[ He's fiddling with his phone and finds a whole library of them. It seems excessive to Bruce. ]

Some of these seem very unnecessary:

🚸

And back to Voice

[threatenwithcuteness]

Huh? Probably. I just ignore all the ones I don't use.

*She'd never really thought about it.*

I mean isn't English full of words we don't actually need?

[bruceno]

I would say it depends on the person

[ Some people have need of a larger vocabulary than others. And language is brought about my necessity, so really, all words are needed. Sorry, Lola! ]
