all that's done and gone and passed tonight (mix of open and closed)
Who: Tim Drake
overlyprecocious and friends
What: Tim is Coping and it's fine
When: late January, after the Hunger Games mostly
Where: Central City mostly. and Sky High.
Content Warnings: a little trauma related to being kidnapped into space by aliens (twice!! thanks, canon), a lot of anxiety, some unhealthy coping mechanisms like food hoarding and vigilantism
It's not like Tim is traumatized by his experience in the survival games. If anything, he's relieved that he was snagged by the aliens and not, say, a hapless seven-year-old. He has survival training, he has a magic restocking utility belt, he has family he was able to meet up with and work with. It was easy for him, comparatively speaking. It just - being kidnapped to space made him even more aware of the metaphorical sword of Damocles already hanging over his head whenever a Confluence finally brings him back home again. There's an extra cruel sting to being reminded that he's not even safe from being randomly yanked from his home and sent back into danger outside of Confluences.
Being more active as Robin is a reasonable precaution. He was already caught off guard once, and thankfully he at least had a minimum of supplies on him and the utility belt even if he didn't have the benefit of the full Robin suit. What he has on him here won't do him much good when he's yanked back home, but at least he's more prepared for anything that happens in this reality when he's suited up.

[OPEN, high school] teenagers scare the living shit out of me
Even people who don't spend a lot of time with him might notice that he's gotten more squirrelly than usual, even if he's trying to mask it. He's increased the Absolute Minimum number of objects that could be weapons hidden on his person (that he is absolutely not supposed to have, but what the school doesn't know he could use in a fight won't hurt them), and he's got roughly two days' worth of protein bars and one days' worth of clean drinking water stashed in his backpack. Bonus: roughly all of the security concerns that he'd been trying to pretend not to have about being in an unlocatable school in the sky have come back full force.
Right now, it's his lunch period, and he can be found in an unused classroom that he definitely shouldn't have access to but it's amazing what you can use as a lockpick these days. He's not hurting anything, anyway, just re-checking that he has all his emergency supplies and also maybe wondering if General Sense of Mental Unease counts as enough of an emergency to have Nico sneak him out. Probably not.

[OPEN, Central City at night]
He may have taken a bigger bite tonight than he meant to. This gas station robbery has a lot more guns and perpetrators than any gas station robbery could ever possibly need. He expected one, maybe two guys, probably not exactly highly-skilled. There's four guys, and they're all armed. It's not an emergency, yet - he's not about to reach for the panic button - but that makes this trickier given that there's an unarmed cashier and a couple hapless late-night shoppers who could get caught in the crossfire.
"Isn't this kind of overkill? I'm pretty sure all you need is a super soaker to pull off a crime like this. No offense," he adds to the cashier, "it's just I'm assuming you're not paid enough to put yourself at risk for this job. Unless you have great hazard pay?"
Robin: a man of the people.
