Appointments Post [OLD]

This post is for threading with Kurt anytime and anywhere. It can be used for Action or the Ring feature on journals to get in contact with him for personal conversations.

Note: When making a new thread, please title it like such:

It'll do. [So help you if you're wrong, Kurt.]

[Okay. Well. This will be easy.]

Clark Kent! [... no wait. That's Superman.] Err. I mean, Bruce Wayne. Sorry.

[That's just weird twice over. It's also a lot to digest. He changes the subject rather than dwelling on being phased.]

In that case, I want to make sure we have one thing perfectly clear. Maybe your universe's comic books are a little slow on the uptake, but I am no one's sidekick. My partnership with Batman is over. It has been for a long time now.

[Well technically Robin should be Nightwing, but. Kurt is not much of a comic book buff. He just thought some of the movies were pretty good.]

Okay, okay! [Not going to make a big deal out of that.] The Teen Titans keeps you too busy, yeah?

[Well technically there've been enough Robins to start some kind of foster care service by then anyway. It's all semantics after a point.]

...Something like that. [He might be a little bit bitter.]

[Well. He's not touching that, then. He doesn't know what kind of bad blood is there.]

Well... anyway, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. But Gar said it wouldn't be a good idea if you knew. So... I just never said anything. Because I know it's weird, yeah? When people recognize me from comic books or whatever, it's kind of hard to be friends with them after.

....Gar? [Okay who is that and what the hell does he know about how Robin would or would not react to things?!]

... Beast Boy, sorry. [Wait, does Robin not know Beast Boy's secret identity? Kurt wonders.]

[He knows in the analytical sort of "Logan-comma-Garfield-Mark-AKA-Changeling-AKA-Beast-Boy" way, but he's never heard anyone actually use the name out loud. It's not the kind of thing he'd admit to knowing, anyway. That's past proper creeping limits and even Robin knows it.]

Is that a name he gave you or something else you read in a comic book?

Me and Kitty got him to use it. [A small shrug.] It's what we all called him, except Rogue. She used B.B. or Beast Boy. [But other than that, the X-Men household is rather used to just using people's real names. And they made Beast Boy adapt like the evil monsters they were.]

[Oh. But there's one other thing.] Ah, but between you and me? I had never even heard of him at all before Luceti. [So Robin you are so much more famous than your teammates.]

Sounds like he was really comfortable here. [Maybe even more at home than he'd been at the tower. Yet another idea that doesn't sit right.]

These books of yours.. Have you been able to find them in the shops or library? I'd like to take a look at some of them.

[Well, that's because the X-House is a house. And not a superhero tower! But that's neither here nor there.]

Sometimes they're in the library. But dude... you should just leave them alone, yeah? I know you like to know everything about everything, but that's the kind of thing you should leave alone. Some secrets are better left that way.

[... and he really doesn't want Robin muddling with Kurt's own past.]

If I'm going to have an existential crisis dropped in my lap, I at least deserve to know what's out there.

[But Robin loves meddling in pasts! D:]

Maybe. But you're better off not knowing. I still think I'm real. I think you're real. [Hell. He has to. His girlfriend is from Robin's world (or so he thinks).]

This isn't the sort of thing where opinions matter. We either are or we aren't. We don't have all the facts yet.

And what happens if you find out you're not real?

I'll deal with that if it happens.

... well, whatever you find, I don't want to know. So keep it to yourself, okay?

Of course I will. That's not the kind of information I'd spring on someone without their consent.

Well... good. [He's not sure what else to really say here.] Sorry for calling you sidekick.

It happens.

Don't do it in public next time. [He tries not to say it harshly. Most people here would probably consider what he'd been doing 'snooping' in the first place.]

Fine. But you've gotta stop stalking me, dude! Calling me out like that is pretty freaky, yeah? [Even if he doesn't have anything to hide, he still isn't too fond of all this.]

I'm not stalking you. I keep an eye on everyone like that.

[...Sigh.] But if it bothers you so much, I don't always have to talk to you about what I see.

... dude, you not telling me about it is probably worse.
