[birdsbirdsbirds]

[so it looks like today is Robin's equivalent of "spring cleaning" day at the hideout. he's mostly getting his shit in order, tying up some loose ends, trashing the old stuff that no one wants anymore, aaaand... dealing with some business.]


[Euri]

[he hasn't spoken to her in a looooong time... but today he decided to change that.]

Hey. You really still hiding out in the woods?

Come on, come back. You must be bored to tears out there.




[Murdertastic Filter]

So, hey. Can't help but notice there's been an awful lot of murdering going on.

Think you guys could maybe not attract the attention of the whole fucking city?



[Public]

[with that finally out of the way and him waiting for responses (if they come at all), he's decided to just hang around on one of the couches and distractedly hum something that sounds a little like the Wren Song. there's a distant tapping that might be his foot on a wall.

but eventually he stops that, too. his attention span isn't all that great on a normal day, but today it's even worse. he'll start talking to no one in particular (which means the journal).]

You know what I miss? Fight rings. And not that publicly broadcasted shit they clean up for TV and radio, no--I'm talking real, messy, Underground fights. Those were the best fucking nights. Always a party.

[tap tap tap tap.]

I wonder if they've got anything like that hiding around here... Some corner of the slums, maybe.

Asshole with the bird name

[occulthymns]

Did you want something?

Gratuitiously stubborn woman

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Ah. Your hearing's gotten worse.

Jackass bird

[occulthymns]

I'm not coming back. I thought you'd at least realize that bringing it up is pointless.

Stubborn girl

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Not everyone's a mountain, Euri.

...You talkin' to me?

Murder filter

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeeep.

[tabbytastic]

It's not that bad...

[heresyandlace]

[heeey, guess who's back, just sauntering on in like he's been around this whole time.

at least he looks a little worse for wear? he's in what passes for traveling clothes for him, a little unkempt around the edges with evidence of mud on his boots, and... one shoulder pretty thoroughly colored with old bloodstains.

he's been on an adventure!]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[adventure his ass. he looks unimpressed by Tek's presence, still stretched lazily out on the 'living room' sofa.]

Well, look who bothered to show back up.

[heresyandlace]

[he blinks a little at him, and then looks only a tiny bit smug at that reaction]

Did you get lonely?

[mortalcoil]

[--he shuts his journal.

but he can hear Robin's voice downstairs anyway. apparently he'd been paying less attention than he'd thought--when did he get back?

oh well. maybe Robin will just stay downstairs.

so, he goes back to staring at the page in front of him, lying on his stomach in the middle of the floor with his notebooks scattered neatly around him]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[oh, he'll keep talking for a little while, probably some scolding Tabby and bitching at Michael and quiet speaking that almost disappears completely between there and the floorboards when it comes to Euri.

but then eventually the talking stops and the tapping stops. Coil might get a few minutes of complete peace before the creaking footsteps up the stairs start.]

[mortalcoil]

[on the outside, his eyes don't even twitch from their path gliding across the page, chin resting easily on his arms crossed on the floor. impassive and seemingly absorbed in what he's doing.

and then there's what is going on inside. that creaking resonates, and he stops reading the words that he's still glancing over.]

[slukhtis]

Fight rings. [ He sighs, a clear nostalgic tone in his voice. MAN, he hasn't been to a good underground fight ring in so long. ]

Think I might go hunting later. [ THANKS FOR THE IDEA ROBIN. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[well I hope you can hear how offended he is.]

You think you might go hunting later.

Want to try that again?

[slukhtis]

[ Oh, he can. And he's purposely going to be a little shit, because that is how he rolls. ]

Hmm. No, sounds fine to me.

[ruminant]

[ The voice doesn't sound familiar, but he did at least figure out what the books are for. ]

Fighting? Why would anyone want something like that?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Uh, because it's awesome.

[ruminant]

How is that awesome? It's...violent.

[adstringis]

[ Guess who is coming in from shopping? Yep, this girl. She puts everything away before settling into one of the armchairs. And yes, she is thinking on his question as her legs swing lazily over one of the arms. ]

Yep. Those were some good fights.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[whoa, hey man! he looks over at her, kind of... surprised that she'd even say such a thing.]

--What? Really?

wow i thought i hit enter kjsdf

[adstringis]

[ She makes eye contact with him upside down, pushing her hair out of her vision. ]

Really. I blame the guys in my family getting me into watching fights and such.

Mind your own business.

Murderastic Filter

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I would. Except this is my business.

Literally.

Ah. How unfortunate.
