[OPEN, high school] don't you forget about me (don't, don't, don't, don't - )

[overlyprecocious]

It's super irritating to be knocked back to the end of his junior year after he already graduated and was halfway through summer vacation back home. It's even more irritating to have to convince the school (that he doesn't even want to go to, but will definitely hunt him down if he doesn't show up) to let him move up to the junior year randomly because he happened to age two years in one Confluence. But he'd've been even more bored learning stuff that he largely already learned, so.

New classes. New classmates, not that he ever tried too hard to be friends with anyone here beyond Nico, Dylan, and a few others. For now, he's got a free period and is using it to camp out in the library and study some of the concepts in his classes that differ from what he's being taught back home (trying to transfer mid-semester between universes isn't easy, even for him, all right). He could use a study buddy, maybe. Or a distraction. Or maybe someone noticing that That One Fifteen-Year-Old is seventeen now.

[OPEN, Central City] flying high

You'd be forgiven for wondering if the Robin patrolling Central City now is a new bird. There've been several, after all, and his sudden growth from fifteen to seventeen does change his silhouette. He's a bit taller, a bit broader in the shoulders, and while his uniform is still very similar, he's added a hood and cape. And since he's not the baby of the Batfamily back home anymore, he's gotten more used to flying solo.

He's not anxiety-patrolling the same way he was before the Confluence, but he's still pretty active. He might drop in to save your butt from an attempted mugging, or you could catch him with his legs dangling off the edge of a roof, eating some late-night donuts kindly donated by a shop that was going to throw them out anyway. He might even drop by street-level to share.

[OPEN, the belfry] spring cleaning (tw: food hoarding, likely mention of child abuse)

Having gone home for as long as he did is especially weird whenever Tim tries to think about what happened two weeks ago. Because two weeks ago, he was living at the Manor in Gotham, he was a part of the Team, he'd gone through serious changes to his life and family. But two weeks ago, he was also fifteen and here and stressed beyond belief and not ready to deal with some things about himself.

Two weeks ago, it was really important to him to have food stashed around the Belfry, Just In Case. Two weeks ago, he'd already been forced to confront the fact that it's impossible to do that in a family of detectives ages ago and had been working with Dinah for a while to find compromises. So that's what he's doing now: compromising. A few of them - the ones with the best hiding spots, in his opinion - he keeps. (He checks on them, too, makes sure that everything's definitely within date, and adds a little typed note to them: my therapist said I get to have this. snitches get stitches.

The rest, he dismantles. Just in case, he tries to be discreet about it, but he's not as paranoid about it as fifteen-year-old Tim would have been.
