bruce wayne @ᴡᴀʏɴᴇ @ʙʀᴜᴄᴇ audio & text

PLEASE NOTE: Bruce has two inboxes.

His official user id for the network is Bruce and if you meet in person, in the unlikely event he gave you his contact details, this is the ID he would give you.

That said, his conversations on the network have largely been under the id of Wayne, as a way to keep his two identities separated.
This is the username he uses most often and he will answer replies to that handle- there just seems to be no physical person on the registry to link it to.

[ are you saying... you don't approve of his friends, dad. is that what it is.

because he's got some bad news for you. ]

well, thanks for the hint to ask peter about what sort of things you've been asking him to get up to.
or you could cut that middleman right now, and leave him out of it as much as i'm cutting out your friends.

[pearlstrings]

Why would I ask you to cut out my friends?

[Friends is your word Jason. Not his. Some of us don't use the F word]

If you have something in mind you should use what resources you can.

[mind_blown]

wow. ice cold.
you're making me look warm and caring bruce
i don't like it.

[pearlstrings]

Isn't there a saying about apples and trees?

I have notes to compare with you. When you aren't busy with your keys.

[mind_blown]

if this key leads to anything interesting, i'm sure the notes will be plenty.
and if these keys actually work. i learned from the best pickpockets in gotham, and i've never run across a lock that simple that also refused to be picked.

[pearlstrings]

The best pickpockets in Gotham.

I can think of someone who'd take offense at the idea of sharing that title.

Did your lessons come before or after the tire-jacking? For curiosity's sake.

[mind_blown]

okay, who?
and a little before, a little after.
you want a written confirmation you trained me or what?

[pearlstrings]

I guess that depends.


Is the confirmation graded? Does it have a cumulative GPA?

[mind_blown]

... surprisingly attention seeking
when it comes to family affairs

[pearlstrings]

[The conversation feels like it slows around him. It's an opportunity to ask something real and Bruce thinks: You're the only family I have left. Then, You had my attention before I knew that's what we were.

But this isn't a burden he can put on Jason, and it's not one he needs right now either- working on whatever this mystery key is. Distractions are dangerous. He would know.

So instead he asks-]

Only with family affairs?

[mind_blown]

you're not a stranger to grandiose actions in a general sense
neither am i. i get it.

[pearlstrings]

You can say it.

I know I can be. Somewhat dramatic.

[mind_blown]

some people would call it...




overdramatic.

[pearlstrings]

I've never met any of those people.

[mind_blown]

please.
they'd just never say it to your face.
i've just got no social graces.

[pearlstrings]

Well at least I did something right.

Any progress on your lock, or are you still trying to avoid a venn diagram of friend groups?

[mind_blown]

it's going to take a hike to get there. and i'm getting some skepticism
which is normal.
if it doesn't work, we'll be back to where we were.

[pearlstrings]

Skepticism is good. It tells us where the holes are.
But if it doesn't work you'll think of something else.




I don't suppose you've heard anything about GPS capabilities here in Beacon.

[mind_blown]

no.
i'd suggest asking will, but fairly certain that would be a bad idea.

but we might be on similar paths anyway. i was trying to find the lab. part of what led me and peter to needing this key.

[pearlstrings]

I suppose it wouldn't be my first. Though he does seem to require a certain amount of ego stroking.

I think our Venn diagram is unavoidable anyway.

[mind_blown]

make sure to act sufficiently impressed about how he's from the future, and he's so smart

even though i was able to hack his tablet in five minutes

[pearlstrings]

I'll keep that in mind.


As an aside, could you offer lessons? This isn't a skillset I'm versed in.

[mind_blown]

[ jason what are you doing.

he pauses at the ask, and then looks back over the whole conversation-- ah. of course.

damn, he kind of missed this. ]

long as you're aware it's not my strong suit either.

[pearlstrings]

Well, if the standard is Will's tablet.

[mind_blown]

that is the standard.

sure, i can pass along a tip or two.
