[OPEN/CLOSED] A Bird, came down the Walk
Who: Jason Todd robintohood and you!
What: Catch-all for May
When: April 28th to May 31st
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: Potential mention of death, PG-13 level violence, child neglect, and abandonment. Will add more warnings if needed.
Jason:
[It's a new month but unfortunately for Jason, he's wrung out already. The fight he had with his doppelganger on April 27th has left him feeling raw. He and the other Jason confessed and screamed at each other several very ugly things to each other, some of it was heard by both Tim Drakes.
Now there are questions swimming in his head. They're questions he doesn't know if he should be asking or even wants answers to. He doesn't know what to do with the emotional shrapnel the fight left behind. He's feeling incredibly uncomfortable in his own skin.
He knows he's too distracted to do all of his usual work so he decides to take a weeklong break from Descendant. People can still call and text him for any Descendant-related issues but otherwise, he won't be in the building. It's also because he doesn't know if he wants to deal with his brothers yet.
However, a lightened workload also means more time to think about the things he doesn't know if he wants to think about. This leaves him restless. Kind of literally too as his sleep schedule has worsened.
But he has to keep trucking along somehow. So during the day, you might catch Jason browsing at a library or a thrift bookstore. He keeps hovering at the classic literature sections and near the self-help books, unsure about what to pick]
Red Hood:
[The Society gave Jason a hit job and a deadline. He intends to build good favor with them so he and his gang can’t dawdle for long.
It's twisted but compared to other recent events, Jason finds the work almost a breath of fresh air. As far as he's concerned, the lines are clear and he knows exactly what to do. And after confirming the accuracy of the Society's intel, he now just needs to get a clear shot of the targeted serial killer.
It's evening and Jason's dressed in his Red Hood gear and perched up on a rooftop with a sniper rifle. He's staking out a seedy pool hall across the street from him. Meanwhile, a handful of his lackeys have taken their positions in nearby dark alleyways or are on standby with their motorcycles. They're all waiting for the serial killer and his crew to walk out of the pool hall.
Jason can't risk taking a shot yet as he and his gang are trying to avoid civilian casualties. Plus, the Society wants proof of his kill so he can't just shoot and run. He'll just have to be patient and wait. Hopefully nothing tries to thwart his plan]

[As his brows furrow in thought, he taps his fingers in a little twiddling gesture on his knees.]
I don't need to keep things with me. The card I can just use around the place I live for food. [His expression is confused.] And I don't see why anyone would need to take a phone everywhere.
[It's novel but not necessary. And the idea that it might have a map on it is totally off his radar. That's why he's been climbing buildings to get the lay of the land. He'd memorized the layout of the Capitol over time too.]
[Belt was always the better navigator but Guy used to be a nomad. If you don't have a good sense of direction as a nomad and the ability to navigate a landscape you're in trouble, especially if you have to backtrack to get around difficult terrain.]
So that just leaves finding the...whatever it is I can do. Which will take some time. [He pushes a hand against his hair, pressing his bangs out of his eyes. They fall back in place even messier.] Some of the things I learned apply here. Like they also have the - the videos and screens. And phones are like comms.
But it's like I have to completely start over in learning how things work. [He shrugs one shoulder.] So I guess that's step one.
[It's going to be a rough adjustment period. Again.]
[He looks up at Jason, eyes soft, expression grateful.]
Thank you, by the way.
no subject
But he guesses it's a sign that Guy's genuinely finding him helpful]
You'll be doing me a favor if you keep staying out of the Alliance's way. Follow some stuff they tell you to do to keep a cover.
no subject
I will.
[Red Hood plowed past the gratitude, but Guy doesn't let him.]
Seriously, thank you. I would never have known how to find out about what that Fantastic guy said. And I've gotten into trouble before for not knowing something because I didn't even know to look. Or how to look backwards on the comm thingies.
You didn't have to take the time to warn me about all this.
no subject
[Even though it's a risk talking to any Alliance member like this. He has to watch out for both guilds. Getting too chummy while bein a Society member could mean consequences for him]
You got any ideas on what you're gonna do next? Jobs?
no subject
[But he doesn't say anything.]
[Instead he thinks about this whole "job" thing.]
Oh yeah. Those exist.
[He knows at least some Capitol people had them. He hadn't had to worry about it there when he was basically a slave. He thinks back to Capitol TV and the modern ways they talked about work and industry on news, lifestyle, and drama shows.]
[Even if most of the Capitolites lived a life of decadence and indolence, some had jobs in the various power structures that ran everything. There were shows about moving up and gaining greater power at jobs.]
Well, I figured I'd maybe just live off the card but if also having a job as a backup thing is a good idea, I am definitely trying to make a lateral move away from professionally dying.
[It's a very dark joke but sometimes it's laugh or cry. In a weird way, it feels good to treat it like something a lot less dire he can just casually walk away from, no more serious than a job.]
There fortunately doesn't seem to be demand for that here anyway.
Beyond that, I don't really know what I could do. Most of my skills involve surviving in the wilderness and nobody needs that here.
I guess I could maybe work on a farm? I live on one back home. Even if the animals and plants are...entirely different. And... the whole thing is pretty new so they probably farm differently here.
We're kind of still at ground level with farming. My parents' best friends were the ones that invented it.
no subject
Little Love is a farming community so you might luck out there. Might be good for you to learn about all the farming tech that's been made since your time.
And being a guild member means you have access to teleporters so traveling to and from there will be easy for you too.
