Monty Python's Flying Circus exists in your reality, right?

[voice]

[asterbatics]

Yes?

[ kon, what ]

[voice]

[superissues]

Conner hasn't seen it.

[From Kon's tone it should be clear that:

A. He considers this a problem.

B. That it is Robin's job to correct this.]

[voice]

[asterbatics]

Doesn't surprise me. Those genomorphs weren't concerned with pop-culture.

You got an extra copy on you? They nabbed my harddrive.

[voice]

[superissues]

No. Rob -- ah, our Robin -- has the boxed set, so we always watched that.

[voice]

[asterbatics]

Boxed set.

[ sorry bro, rob just needs to let that...sink in. ]

Please tell me you mean DVDs.

[voice]

[superissues]

What else would I mean?

[Kon didn't exist for VHS.]

[voice]

[asterbatics]

Nothing, nothing, just. Making sure.

[ alfred has some vhs boxed sets and robin just needed to make sure. ]

[voice]

[superissues]

So, you'll work on this?

[Kon sounds hopeful.]

[voice]

[asterbatics]

I'll see what I can do.

[voice]

[superissues]

I'm counting on you.

[action, backdated to after Caroline's message (blame Al for telling Kon to do this)]

[superissues]

[Knocking at the door of room 2.007, somewhat hesitantly -- really hoping that Robin and Zatanna aren't like making out or something.]

Hey, Robin? Zatanna? You guys in?

((ooc: This just came up in an ongoing thread, but it you'd rather I fill you in oocly, just let me know on plurk!))

[voice]

[superissues]

Yo, Robin! Serious type question here.

What's something nice you can do for someone who is calm, smart, intelligent and probably doesn't even want something nice? You know, like you?

-- it's not you by the way. Just putting that out there so no one gets any expectations.

[voice]

[asterbatics]

[ ... what. ]

Depends on who it is and what it's for. They'll want something personalized to them, for one, and the more effort it looks like you put into it the better. Why?

[voice]

[superissues]

See that's the thing. I don't even know if Ciel wants anything and even if she did she wouldn't admit to it, you know?

[voice]

[asterbatics]

[ well, the her bit is helpful. ]

Do you know what she likes? Is generally interested in?

[voice]

[superissues]

Apparently the habit she wears is not just for kicks, so uh -- being spiritually pure, holy stuff, kicking dark shadow butt?

[voice]

[asterbatics]

When you say holy you do mean the Christian God, right?

[voice]

[superissues]

I didn't want to ask in case she told me.

[voice]

[asterbatics]

This whole communication thing might be a problem if you're trying to figure out what she'd want as a present.

[voice]

[superissues]

I don't want to give her a holy present, geez.

[voice]

[asterbatics]

I'm not only talking about the religion thing. The whole communication thing in general is kind of important.

[voice]

[superissues]

Fine. I will go, talk to her.

[voice]

[superissues]

--ying, I mean, even I can see where this is going--

It's working now, isn't it?

Goddamnit.

[voice]

[asterbatics]

Kon?

[ guess who is feeling weird but also is trying very very hard to suppress it? :D ]
