Who: Bruce Wayne/Batman batsymbol and others
What: a halloween-themed housewarming
When: end of october
Where: primarily central
Content Warnings: TBD but let's just say Bruce being Bruce is always likely

It's Friday October 27th when this housewarming shindig happens at the townhouse in Central he's recently purchased for himself and with it being so close to Halloween, he decides to decorate it a little. Or maybe a lot. He's still trying to get the hang of this whole Bruce Wayne thing. Either way, the lower floor of the five-story townhouse is decorated for the spooky season and the one floor he'd prefer people to stick to since he's not the only one who lives here. There's food and refreshments available with something hopefully for everyone and if you're in the mood for something a little more spooky for a drink, there's this little guy lined up along one of the tables to be enjoyed, the flavor being a tart pomegranate with a touch of sweetness to it. Yes, it can also be alcoholic and yes, he has someone stationed there to ensure those of age to drink are the ones taking the alcoholic version of that. On your way in or out, don't forget to say hi to the concierge for the night and feel free to take your complimentary pumpkin bucket filled with candy he has for guests. Don't worry about checking the candy for trackers. It's not like he would ever do such a thing. 😇 Happy Housewarming Halloween. ooc notes: just a stupid little housewarming mingle thrown together where bruce makes an attempt to Do Something for his kiddos and friends he has here. Diana also lives within the townhouse and so friends of hers are welcome to stop by as well if she'd invite them. whoever the kiddos want to bring along with them are also welcome to stop by but please stick to the first floor where the shindig is or else bruce is going to be Disappointed aka i'm still figuring out the rest of the floors.

Dylan had spent so much time grieving Diana after she'd left. Seeing her so casually at a party felt like seeing a ghost.

He's dumbstruck for a moment, feeling a race of — Excitement? Elation? It's a lightning strike of something, and the smile's already crossing his face before he can fully process it.

But... no. He knows the Diana here now isn't the same one as before; Seeing her in person, the differences are clear as day.

His smile softens a bit. "I know. I mean, I knew... the other Diana who was here before you. It's nice to meet you. I'm Dylan."

Her smile brightens, even as it turns a little complex. "Dylan."

There's warmth in her voice as she speaks his name, and she reaches to put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "It's so wonderful to finally meet you. I'm... sorry not to be the version of me you remember. I know you were close."

She squeezes his shoulder before letting go. "Perhaps we will become friends, too. I hope so."

The hand on his shoulder feels comforting and and affectionate in a way he hasn't felt in a while. It had been less than a year since he'd last seen Diana, but it feels like so much longer, and the contact has him feeling nostalgic.

"I hope so, too." He pauses, then adds, "She gave me a sword when I turned fifteen. She was teaching me how to use it."

[avatarfortruth]

"I would hope so, if she gifted you the weapon before you knew how to wield it," Diana says, smiling.

"Perhaps you'll accept me as a tutor in her stead. Have you been practicing?"

oop sorry time got away from me

Dylan looks a little sheepish at her question. "I might be... a little rusty. But the sword isn't, at least!"
