Moving In.

[ It's not quite the joyous occasion they were hoping it would be. The disappearance of one of their own has left a heavy air over the group, but they're determined to try to make something of the situation. And so they proceed with the move, their belongings loaded up in the back of a teleporting truck.

Neighbors are welcome to spy the new arrivals. A perfect collection of unlikely friends that look like they belong in a horror movie cast. You'll get a drink for your trouble - or something a little less legal (or more legal, if you aren't) if you offer to lend a hand. Evidentially, some among their number are not terribly well equipped to do heavy lifting. Damn sticky nerd arms. ]

HOUSEWARMING PARTY is written in slanted block print on a piece of cardboard, staked just outside the newly purchased manor seated near the edge of town. It is a utterly ridiculous piece of architecture, and the gathered teens have more space than they know what to do with.

So how better than to fill it with a house party?
There's a stunning indoor pool just begging to be cannonballed into. A classy lounge for enjoying a little existential angst and ennui. There’s enough guest bedrooms for anyone who wants to crash, though be warned: few are furnished. Some rooms are off limits, for your own sanity rather than theirs.

The music pumping through the place alternates between 80s metal and pop, with some newer tunes sprinkled in there for flavor.

There’s food, a legion of kegs and, well, that less than legal stuff is making the rounds too. ]

[ What the ever-loving Jiminy Christmas, he wanted to support a new acquaintance - a new normal acquaintance, who could just be someone he knew as Tim. Wouldn't that have been nice?

Instead, more than half the people he knows well in this world are here, and he suddenly has to keep them apart. At a party that's going on across a giant manse and its grounds. ]

Cass. Who brought Steph.

[ No point in hiding it to Jason. He probably already scoped them out - no way is Jason sitting down with food without checking out the people at the party. ]

But why are you here?

[robintohood]

[Jason's fairly sure Tim's lying but won't call it out for now]

Needed a break from work and that post was an open invitation for here.

[Takes a bite out of his pizza]

[ It's not a lie. It's perhaps not the truth, but Cass and Steph are who arrived with Tim. Loki is perhaps here along with Tim now that he is here, but he didn't bring him. ]

Sometimes, I remember you're closer to my age than Dick's, and it's almost a surprise.

[ Jason acts grizzled - is grizzled, in a lot of ways, but he's still only a few years older than Tim. If he wants to unwind at a party, he should. Be normal for a night, kid. ]

How's the pizza?

[robintohood]

Not bad and all those renovations and moving stuff worked up an appetite.

[He takes another bite]

You're saying I act older than what I actually am?

[mostdangerousbird]

Hey, at least you're cross-training.

[ No mercy for you, Jason. It's not like they're not used to a ridiculous amount of physical activity. ]

And yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. When's the last time you did anything fun?

[robintohood]

I try to have at least have some time curling up with a book. Or is that too nerdy?

[mostdangerousbird]

I have it on very good authority that reading and anything computer-related are too nerdy to be considered fun.

[robintohood]

Well, I could say I like having a night out on the town but I think we got very different definitions of that compared to most people.
