beetleboyblue | [001] Take me to your Cinnabon

[video clicks on to show a friendly-looking teenager smiling at the camera]

...I have to say, when I signed on for this thing, I kind of expected to see some kind of soulless ship cabin that I'd have to put posters all over or something. Not, you know. My bedroom. Not that I'm complaining or anything! I like having my bedroom, and not having to share a bathroom with Milagro, and...

I'm pretty sure no one needs to know any of this. Sorry.

I'm Jaime Reyes—I'm going to be a warden here. Anyone know what's for dinner tonight?

[video clicks off, then immediately clicks on again, though Jaime is not looking at the camera]

What? No. Of course I didn't ask about Cinnabon.

...

Because there is no Cinnabon here. This isn't a vacation.

...

Sometimes, we have to go places without Cinnabon. It's one of the sacrifices we make for the greater good.

...

Look, this is not a discussion. There will be cinnamon rolls if God wills it, okay?

...

It's not fatalistic, it's realistic, and--

I feel better.

What are you doing here, Jaime?

...I'm here to help? What are you doing here?

More of the same. What's happening with the Titans? [He's wondering if he should have thrown on sunglasses to find out if Jaime knows his secret ID yet, but. It's not like that would last here.]

Uh... right now? Not that much. Downtime. Eddie's still trying to get used to not having his powers anymore, which pretty much sucks.

[Oh hell Eddie is still alive that answers all his questions in one go, thank you Jaime. :c]

Pretty much kind of puts it lightly.

[Happy to help, Tim.]

Yeah. He's pretty down... Not that I can blame him.

It's going to be rough. He'll manage.

Yeah. I think he's just... going to have to learn to be badass without them. You know--like you. [grin]

We'll get him a mask and a cape, and he'll be set.

[Sob this is some difficult acting. :c]

Sounds like a plan to me. But many we should add some actual lessons in kickassery. A mask and cape will only go so far.

[YEAH. SORRY, TIM.]

[He's going to whine to Dick about it later or something. :c] You think he'd take to some traditional martial arts? He can be the Kickass Kid next.

He might. Maybe it should be Kid Kickass, though--so it sounds more like Kid Devil.

I'll start sketching cosumes.

[grin] Awesome.

So, did you get the rundown on this place?

Kind of? I've heard that the Admiral is crazy, there are floods and ports that are varying levels of crazy/terrifying/fun, the ship may or may not be falling apart Ghost Ship-style, and people are probably going to be on my case if I try to look on the bright side. Am I missing anything?

Sounds about right. [So not telling him about the being from a comic thing. You're not allowed to read up on Eddie yet. :c] Try your hand at brooding, you'll fit right in.

[grin] I'll work on that--though I'm not usually the brooding type.

Monkey see, monkey do.

[smiiiiiirk] Are you saying I should watch you for some pointers?

[What - is that a smile?] No, I'm just calling you a monkey.

I think you have the wrong phylum. Beetles are arthropods. [grin of geekery]

Beetles don't have furry chins, though.

Touche.

I'm in 1.18 if you need anything.

[private] Thanks! Sara found him!
