[OH SHUT UP I CAN'T HELP JASON WOULDN'T APPROVE OF MY VERY GREAT IDEAS]

One kid is one too many. Don't make excuses for it. I'm not surprised. We had a couple of kids, too. None as young as Damian would be, though.

How'd you win?

It turned out we were giving birth to an evil snake creature? And then after it was born, we had to throw it a party and give it gifts until it decided to leave us alone.

The pasta did it...

[unrecked]

I... What?

[This sounds mostly like a rhetorical confusion.]

None of the rest of you really never had a "normal" game of murder, did you?

[preowned]

Not at all! It was very confusing.

[unrecked]

Really hate that for us.

[This is gonna be terrible.]

Some snake monster really let you go for pasta?

[preowned]

I believe it was unlimited pasta.

[unrecked]

Excuse me, some snake monster really let you go for unlimited pasta?

[preowned]

Yeah!

I am not sure if it was good pasta.

[unrecked]

I'm guessing a snake monster really doesn't have the kind of anatomy to taste the difference between good and bad pasta. Lucky you guys.

So did they go back home safe? Dick, Damian, and Stephanie?

[WHY DOESN'T HE ASK ABOUT BABY HIM, very funny.]

[preowned]

[ JASON CARE ABOUT BABY YOU!!!!

but he nods. ]

They did. And luckily, it doesn't seem like they were brought here, so they should be home.

[unrecked]

[no]

Now, you see, I don't trust that exactly. If anyone's life gets shit on by God the most, it's mine. I don't trust they can't be taken.

[preowned]

... well, there is a chance it may happen. We're here, after all.

But as far as I am aware, they left the camp safely.

[unrecked]

[The frown gets deeper enough that it rivals Zuko's.]

Good. It better stay that way.

[preowned]

Well... besides me, sort of, is there anyone else you know here?

[unrecked]

Nope. Not sure if that's reassuring, or worrying actually.

[preowned]

Both?

I'm glad I know people who are here, but at the same time I kind of wish they were back home.

[unrecked]

How many people do you know here? It's your third time, right? You must know several.

[preowned]

Five...? Two from the village, and three from the camp.

[unrecked]

Hmm. [Why does Mom let YOU have five castmates?!] Who?

[preowned]

Mikazuki, Futaba... and then Flayn, Dimitri, and Shinobu.

[ they're all sweall, ignoring the murder, ]

[unrecked]

[His brows furrow like he's putting guestbook placards to the names.]

Lucky you. You're worse off for it, unless they've earned your ire. You've got a hostage and other people to worry about, huh?

[preowned]

[ he just laughs. ]

Yes, it's terrible! But at the very least, they're all dependable. And I do not know someone who wants to help others as much as Shinobu does.

[unrecked]

I don’t know anyone who wants to spill some blood as much as Shinobu either.

[Just for the record, Grandpa 2. Jason gets the biggest naughty Bat vibes from the smiles that don’t reach her eyes.]

You think you can trust them?

[It’s a genuine question, not a diss.]

[preowned]

No, Shinobu is... she chose to allow herself to die over killing someone else. It does not bring her any comfort.

[ he has to think about it. ]

I think that the majority of us would do it if we have to. Many likely already have, statistically speaking. But I do trust that if any of those people are put into that situation, if they do kill, it isn't because they want to. And that really is as much trust as you can have in someone in a place like this. That they are working towards the best path for the group at large.

[unrecked]

[Hmmmm. He really has too much of the worst of Gotham in him to agree, but he'll take it into consideration maybe. About both Shinobu and the group.

He's really got trust issues here, listen.]

I think you and me come from some very different places. [For every Batman--hell, every Batkid--there's at least three assholes from the Rogues' Gallery.] You really think the ones running this joint are going to just let us all get along? Work together?

That's what the hostages are for.
