ＳＴＡＲＦＩＲＥ Ｐｒｉｎｃｅｓｓ Ｋｏｒｉａｎｄ’ｒ

Alright, if you need anything… [Grins, gesturing him off with a wave of the remote. This time he at least remembers to finally go over to the kitchen and get that damn popcorn.] I won’t be far.

I insist. [He gives him a look, the corners of his mouth lifting into an amused smile.] I’ll prep a to-go bag for when you’re done with business, alright?

Vic. [He says, finally turning to him with a raised brow.] Hey, Bee came over just yesterday with the rest of Titans East. Made hella good lasagna for everyone. You should take some with you.

[There was a click-clacking undead man thrashing about the screen, and Vic takes two seconds longer to answer.] Uhh… in the… have you checked his room?

[Hand over mouth as he mouths a very wide ‘wow’.]

[POINTING AT THE SCREEN.] HEY, THE TV SHOW NIGHTWING!

(Is too fixated on the screen to get the popcorn—)

Movie night with @bluedhaven.bsky.social!

[SIGH.] You can 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘵, just… no chewing on the appliances, the furniture, AND NO PEEING ON ANYTHING ELECTRICAL. DEAD OR ALIVE!

No chewing off the kitchen, Krypto!

[It is a very big Tower door he’s knocking on. Silence greets Winn before the monitor blips to life, mimicking soundwaves as an automated voice speaks into attention.] [T-Tower:] Access denied. Subject identity not found in authorized registry. State designation and clearance level.

I didn’t initially account for superpiss when we were reconfiguring the alarms, alright? I mean, Gar’s potty-trained.

And Gar, pick yourself up.

NOBODY’S COMING WITHIN 10FT OF THIS OUTLET UNTIL IT COMPLETELY DRIES. GOT IT?

SUPERDOG, WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Aww, how’d you want it? (Holds out his hand.) Like this?

I thought patting your back was Something.

Gar passed by earlier and asked if I did anything to you, AND THAT ruined the mood.

Update: Dick cried.

Now, don’t be giving the sky any more ideas now.

[Camera panning back to the rest of the Titans who are all huddled up in the couch, gazes fixed on the screen.]

Looked over one second into episode 5 to find tears STREAMING down @bluedhaven.bsky.social’s face.

(Completely stiff.) Maybe I just need to change my oil.

(It almost feels like whiplash how he first wanted to flip this kid off one second FOR CALLIN’ HIM OLD and then spend the next wanting to jog this kid’s memory.) You… No way, now you’re 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 talking throwbacks. Have we ever met over one of my games before?

Just relaying what I remember. We were chillin’ over at Cartoon Network.

Before, they used to save it to slime students during school tours. To… teach them a lesson or something.

Aw, hell nah. Don’t even think about it! You know, I heard they still slime people. But it just doesn’t hit the same anymore…

[𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗦] Dear Titans and friends, we will be moving our Bulletin Board to the lobby. It will be updated twice a month for now. The board would include (but not limited to): • Weekly recap. • Pictures. • Requests. • Hall of Fame (Shame). • Messages and notes.

Damn, what a throwback.

(Charging back up in his room, the steady thrum of the machines he’s hooked up to lulling him to sleep.)

While things quiet down for a bit... Spring Paintball War? 👀

Ahhh, good girl. Love this Tower.

Classy.

HE DID NOT.

This is what I’d imagine getting charged up on several batteries all at once is like.

Had his hands in the dirt like this AND WHAT.

Oooh, you know I can’t resist when you speak tech to me.

Quite a feat if we lost even you in all this.

Not now, baby, this same guy’s talking about gettin’ with his girl’s dad.

Global video projection for the masses: youtu.be/PQ4CXO4ltb8?...

(Running a hand down his face… staring up at the ceiling… Muttering, questioning how this guy’s NOT EVEN DONE.)

…26 minutes of this, and I still can’t predict where the story’s going.
