With a thousand lies and a good disguise, hit 'em right between the eyes
who: pint-sized Dick Grayson + YOU
what: Dick is 12 years old and confused
when: June 13 - 24
where: everywhere
warnings: child endangerment, bat angst, possible minor injury
"See 'em running for their lives"
[ Crime waits for no unresolved personal crisis, as it turns out, which is actually more of a relief today than it probably should be. It's luck that Robin spots the thief in action just ahead of the victim's yell, but it's that luck that gives him an advantage. An objective. Finally something to chase down that isn't the ghost of the man he's supposed to be someday.
He gives chase across the roof, bridging gaps between buildings with a dazzling array of acrobatics, all restless, over the top flair as he closes the distance.
He's set up for a dramatic entrance at the end of a blind alley, a confrontation to end all petty thievery for all time, but in the split second that he's mid-showy quad flip the thief below plows into someone crossing the street and abruptly changes direction, and Dick's lost him by the time he hits the street below. ]
Hey. [ And he'll snag the hapless bystander by the sleeve. ] You see where they went?
[ Whether you're a hapless bystander, the unlucky victim, or even the thief, Robin doesn't seem to be prepared to let the issue slide anytime soon. His gaze narrows, roving to one street, then another. ]
"Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time"
[ If you happen to be acquainted with the grownup-sized version of Dick Grayson (or even if you're not, I'll just handwave a reason tbh) your home or place of work has potentially made Robin's list of hotspots. Breaking and entering isn't right of course, especially not without probable cause, so he's careful to case the area first, waiting for the moment when he's pretty sure whoever he's following is going to be away for a while.
He needs information. He needs to know about this place, about what it all means to the people stuck here, and he doesn't believe in his heart that any adult will give it to him straight. He has to know. He has to.
Catch him just ahead of the act - perched precariously at a window or crouching by a door, lockpick in hand - or catch him already inside, picking his way through belongings with a set of evidence gloves on over Robin's green ones. When people don't know can't hurt them, after all. ]
"Now someone is gonna pay"
[ By the end of the week you'll be able to catch him in civvies, attempting to blend with other groups of tween-age children near schools and parks, walking on his hands in high spots where no sane person should feel comfortable balancing, or eating copious amounts of ice cream and candy as he wanders the city.
As Robin he's a little flutter of yellow cape on the roof, a batarang tucked into a bird's nest, an obnoxious burst of laughter if you happen to make a pratfall somewhere in public. He's incredibly easy to find lurking nearby if you happen to stand out in some obvious way. ]

No. I haven't even heard of them. Is meat loaf [ you can just hear the space ] something with bread?

Hey, look me up the next time you're in town. There's gotta be some place in this city serving it up.
[ That might be complicated with someone of her size, but then again she'd said she'd already spent time there. Probably it'll be fine. He'll hit anyone in the face who isn't nice. ]
no subject
Maybe I will. [ No, she totally will. There's no end to the interesting curiosity of human food, may as well find someone willing to show her around it. She drops a little lower above the water. ] I'm Khisanth, but when you see me I may be called Onyx.
[ And on that note she drops suddenly, landing with a splash into the water. Swimming: just like flying, but wetter. Hopefully he's fine with that. ]
no subject
Like a, uh- secret ID?
[ On the one hand, it isn't polite to ask. On the other, it can't be all that secret if she's willing to give it to him so casually. ]
no subject
Like a name, in any case. Some of us have occasion to use more than one of them.
