Robin! I'm guessing you already looked over the newer quests in detail. Or actually everything on the forum so far.
[He's just guessing. Damian seems to be the obsessive type when it comes to gathering information (kind of like him).]
Sooo are there any wishes you can think of?
[For no reason in particular. None at all.]

So, I guess you calling me Canary was pretty apt in the end.
It looks like we all got separated according to our colors for the day. I haven't been able to find you at all since I got back to the regular town, so I'm guessing you're still wherever all the other blues are. The laptops don't work while we're separated, so...I know you can't see this yet. But stay safe, Robin! And let me know when you're back!

[ So. There's this balance she's trying to find that she hasn't quite figured out. Even living in the same house, they interacted as Catwoman and Robin more than they ever did as Selina and Damian and, for as long as they've been here, she's kept a comfortable distance between them.
For him. For her, too, maybe.
After this past week, after they all got separated, after Selina had a Real Bad Time, well. He's a tough kid, but that doesn't change the fact that she's worried about him. She leaves a simple message for him to do as he wants with. ]
Hey, kid. It's Selina. Just making sure you got back safely.

[ hm, so, his brother tried to kill him and that fucking sucked. things have come to an uneasy truce, but now that he’s gotten a moment to think about all that’s happened, he realizes that now is a better time than ever before to explain exactly what’s going on between him and his broken sibling. powers, their history, everything he remembers—trusting damian, just like he said he would. ]
I don’t know if you’ve met my brother. I think you probably have. He looks like me.
He doesn’t have any of the powers I do. We were split apart at a young age and he died, as I told you. I don’t remember anything from the time between that surgery and waking up in the midst of the apocalypse, but I understand what other people have told me.
I attempted to fuse with God in order to give her the ability of human language. The fusion went awry, I lost my voice and my memories, but I gained the ability of God to “right” the world. You’ve seen what it can do on a smaller scale. With effort, it destroys any living creature I touch and reduces it to its most basic essence, free of all corruption. I am “saving” these things with “purification.” I am a pawn to purify God, and succeed her, but right now I’m still just that. A pawn.
My brother has nothing to do with this. I don’t think he’s dangerous. If this power goes to my head, please don’t hold him to the same standards.

[As soon as Izuku can get away from the party--if it can be called that--and the new arrivals, he makes a beeline for the cottage and his laptop.]
Have you already seen Superboy? I saw him just earlier.

So I found our fortress earlier and I got distracted looking at stuff in there and having fun and Krypto was in it?
So I brought him to your boathouse.

so. it's three days after quest day
how many people did you strongarm into combat so far?
[Aka "hi how are you I'm checking in because I can."]

[ She's still relatively new. That's understandable. She's also not a tiger when this happens, which is also understandable, although she might have felt the shift of the ground beneath her paws a lot faster. Or been able to tell through scent that the earth had recently been disturbed.
But she's human when it happens-- one false step, and suddenly the sensation of the ground dropping out from beneath her, and when Kisa opens her mouth to cry out, her voice is so accustomed to being shoved down that nothing emerges and the only actual sound is the thud of impact.
Ultimately, she isn't badly hurt. Scraped, bruised, a little sore, but that's not the problem. The actual problem is discovered when Kisa wobbles to her feet and looks up to discover that she... can't get out. The walls are too smooth, she doesn't have the speed and stamina to simply take it at a leap like some of her cousins could have done, and she can't call out for help. Her body isn't weak enough to transform, either.
But Kisa tries, anyway. Several fruitless attempts as the hours start to crawl by, digging her fingers into the earth to try and carve out some kind of hold, despite knowing that she isn't going to have the strength to haul herself out.
By the time someone comes along, she's already shaking with exhaustion and fear, that no one is actually going to find her. ]

[By now, it's probably no secret to Damian that Izuku kind be rather obsessive when it comes to checking and double checking information--even if that information is the list of hex codes. Of course, that means when a certain person's hex code becomes struck out, Izuku notices fairly quickly.]
Are you busy right now? I wanted to ask you about something.

[ dextera saw the post, but he was having a minor crisis of his own, and so he couldn’t exactly message damian about his father until now. he doesn’t want to overstep his boundaries, since he’s not really good at this kind of thing, but he feels like something needs to be said. ]
If you’d like to play chess again sometime, you’re welcome to come over.
[ that’s enough, right? ]

[ Kisa's not particularly seeking anyone out. She rarely does, but right now, her attention's been captured by the well. She'd caught a glimpse of it earlier, but now, even with the chill sinking into her skin and her teeth beginning to chatter, she goes back for a closer look.
It... has color. And there's something strange about it, something she can't quite place, but it has her trotting around it and peering down into it to see if anything else is particularly off.
If Damian's out and about? He can scold her for not having any kind of winter clothing at all. ]

Damian, have you seen the church today? You have to if you haven't!

Damian!
[ It's a piece of luck that she finds him in Flavo; it's not as if she knew where to really look for him, and she didn't know his hex code, so she'd had to resort to fortune to make her way to him.
The weird thing about this is that while she finds him, by the time she does, she is steaming. This is probably because she is, for some reason, covered in mud all down her front? From the back it looks like she got nailed with a ton of snow. She's kind of a mess, all things said. What happened to her? ]
Are you busy? No? Good! Because I need to talk to you.

[ Kisa's still not used to using her laptop to reach out to anyone, not like Michael had with her. In the end, she's much better at aimless wandering, and even as she examines the quests and slowly reaches a decision on what she thinks is doable and what she thinks is going to be the hardest of them (and the one that's going to be outright impossible, really), she decides the best way to go about this is to just... talk to Damian. Her... friend?
Are they friends? Are they getting to be more than friends? She still has no idea, but the fact remains that she'd rather ask for his help on this one, which is why she's making her way to that one cottage in Flavo where he'd taken her a couple of times. There's no guarantee he'll be there, but she figures it's the best place to start.
And yes. She's warmly dressed. ]

[ When she finds the picture of the solemn and distinguished-looking man this morning, Kisa's not exactly sure what to make of it at first. She doesn't recognize him. And even with one hundred and fifty members of the Sohma family living on the estate that she hasn't met for herself, he doesn't really bear any kind of resemblance.
He's a total stranger, and the longer she gazes at the photograph, the more bewildered she is. Where had this even come from? And why to her, why a photograph of a stranger, when she can't even begin to guess who this might be?
It takes longer than she'd like to admit, but it finally clicks into place: the wish she'd made, for Damian. This... might actually be for him. And it had come to her because she's the one who had made the wish. She could be wrong, but there's really only one way to tell, so Kisa clutches the frame close, carefully, and sets out to find him. ]

[After another bit of training with the staffs they carved together, Izuku plops himself down on the ground for a rest.]
Hey, Damian-kun? [He rolls the staff absently around in the grass.] Have you tried any of the new quests yet?

You’ve probably already noticed, but Guren is gone.
[ for good this time, if his hex code is any indication. he just thought damian should… know, considering his weird relationship with guren, and how they’ve talked about guren in the past. just so this isn’t as strange a message in isolation, though, dextera quickly follows it up with something official to temper his own despair. ]
The defense force is going to Zelda. I think she’ll take care of it soon.
