Red Robin:

There's a new vigilante running a nighttime patrol of the city. He's caped, decked out in red and green light armor He doesn't seem to have special abilities because he uses gear to swing between vantage points and rooftops. He does, however, appear to be highly trained and adept at disappearing into the shadows despite his uniform's coloring, which makes it difficult to watch him beyond a stray glance if you're not superhuman or equally trained.

If you're quick and careful you might catch him on a computer built into the armor of his forearm, sitting on the ledge of a rooftop. Riverview, even taking the monsters into account, is much more peaceful than his home. The police aren't corrupt, they do their jobs and it leaves a significantly lesser need for vigilantism. Red Robin knows this is the ideal. The whole goal of their mission is to make themselves unnecessary. He just didn't bank on how boring it might end up.

University:

There's a new student around campus who may be inciting some whispers. He's got over a full course load at six classes, but he isn't showing any of the usual symptoms of overworked stress over achieving students have been known to. He's a freshman with a load of programming and engineering courses at as high of a level as he could get into without pre-requisite. Tim had grabbed as many as he could, to keep busy, but also because he wanted to learn as much as he could about this world's technologies and how to better work with them with his job. If he was working for the guard, he didn't want lives to depend on work he didn't understand.

He can be found coming out of a class or studying in the library, even going through the stacks or computer accessible files for more about the city and the moon itself. If you've met Tim before and you see him now, there's a marked change. He's still tired, and worn, but he's not the bland polite teenager he usual is in public. He looks enthused, and possibly even happy.

Open/Wild Card/TDM Prompts:

{Red Robin pauses and reaches up to run a hand through his hair despite the gauntlets on.}

Yeah, I'm gathering that, it doesn't hurt to stay in practice, but it's nice, too, to not need to be here.

{To know staying in a night might not cost lives.}

[dothelokimotion]

I'm sure the public truly benefits from a man in a costume.

[stalkingandplotting]

Where I'm from they do. Not so much here.

[dothelokimotion]

Then it must be quite a city to suffers so many problems.

[ Amazing. Loki wonders what kind of place it is like. ]

[stalkingandplotting]

{There is something in Red Robin's face as he thinks about Gotham. Pain, to be sure, but a little bit of fondness and madness around the mask as well.}

It's home. Gotham's beautiful and ghastly all at once. True Gothamites hate to love it, but can't imagine living anywhere else.

[dothelokimotion]

Acclimatized to all the crime and murder, no doubt.

[ Of course they would hate and not move. Where else would they get such luxury to live in the stink of their own hypocrisy.

Loki would like Gotham. ]

[stalkingandplotting]

{He probably would.}

Not to mention the frequently released airborne toxins...

{He's kind of joking. They managed to stop most of those.}

[dothelokimotion]

[ He drawls. ]

Charming.

[stalkingandplotting]

Not even a little bit.

[dothelokimotion]

No? You seem charmed all the same. No place like home, after all.

[stalkingandplotting]

The toxins are more lethal than charming. The gargoyles though, they're pretty charming.

[dothelokimotion]

Stone gargoyles? Very archaic.

[stalkingandplotting]

They create a very particular kind of atmosphere, and are great wind shelters in the winter.

[dothelokimotion]

Gothic, I believe is the term.

[ Loki may not know current slang, but he is not terribly behind. ]

[stalkingandplotting]

You're correct. A lot of the older buildings at home have the more obvious characteristics of that style. Flying buttresses, ogivals, spires, and the large windows that look dramatic during a storm.

{His eyes flicker away from Loki for the first time since he appeared, briefly taking in their surroundings.}

This place is...shiny in comparison.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hums. ]

Of course. Mortals believe by removing aspects of their past, they progress into the future. A children's toy on Asgard has more technological advancement than this place. But our aesthetics belong to the past. To keep things simple. Grounded.
