[ if one looks at the location of this post, it's from Wood. Kyle's idea of being careful is essentially walking over to another Sector to use one of the cafes. ]

hello?

seriously there's better things to rip off than myspace

[ He's going to treat this as a chatroom until he has reason to do otherwise. ]

is this network the only way to contact people? what happened to telephones? or shining a signal in the sky? [ subtle. very subtle. He buffers it quickly: ] or even messenger pigeons?

[ now to see if anyone takes the hint. Before then, he decides to offer a helpful tidbit: ]

by the way this isn’t a dream or a collective hallucination

[Tim headed over to it.] Do you have any weird fruit? I've been test-driving all of the weird fruit around here.

[imaginate]

I got some yesterday. [He fetches a fruit basket and offers it to Tim.]

[mrsarcastic003]

[He picked something that looked a little like an apple, but that he knew from experience wouldn't actually taste like one.] So what are you looking for here?

[imaginate]

Something that I can use to talk to you guys only - you know, like the one Oracle has. [Beat.] And, maybe a different one for personal use. [The way he says it, it sounds like he expects them to be listening anyway but doesn't mind. Kyle has very few secrets.]

[mrsarcastic003]

'Calling all Justice League?' [He nodded a little.] I can do that. And something for personal use, too. [Not that either of them will be anything that he can't listen in on if he wants to, because--Bat paranoia. But working with a Bat, Kyle should probably expect that. And it will be leaps and bounds better than nothing.]

[imaginate]

Yeah, that sounds good, thanks. [A thought occurs to him.] Jason can't hack it, can he?

[mrsarcastic003]

[He paused at that. He didn't actually know what Jason's current level of computer ability was, but the baseline encryption he was using was a bat-familiar one. He... probably wouldn't have too difficult a time with it, if he put his mind to it.]

He might be able to. I can tweak it to make it harder, if you want.

[imaginate]

Can you do that? I don't want him butting in when I'm discussing something with you guys.

[mrsarcastic003]

Sure. I have one or two tricks up my sleeve. [Wry grin.] I don't usually like Jason spying on me either. We don't get along.

[imaginate]

I think a lot of us are in the 'Don't Get Along with Jason' club.

[mrsarcastic003]

He doesn't exactly endear himself to people, does he?

[imaginate]

Even less so when he starts running his mouth off on you. [Kyle shrugs slightly. In contrast to his statements, his tone is surprisingly neutral.]

[mrsarcastic003]

It's not usually his mouth that I have a problem with. [Tim is decidedly less neutral. Jason has tried to kill him more than once.]

[imaginate]

Wrong end of the gun?

[He doesn't keep up with Batclan drama; this is his closest guess.]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Smirk] Sibling rivalry gets hard core in my family.

[imaginate]

[Why so calm about it dude :|] Why are you wearing his costume, then?

[mrsarcastic003]

[Pause] It's complicated.

[imaginate]

Okay. [Backing off unless Tim feels like sharing.] I think the rest of you are further down the timeline from me.

[Not mentioning alternate world just yet.]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Sorry, Kyle. Tim's not sharing with.. anyone, actually.]

Yeah? Why's that?

[imaginate]

For starters, you were Robin.

[mrsarcastic003]

[Yeah, ask Dick how that turned out. :\] That wasn't that long ago.

[imaginate]

How long ago?

[mrsarcastic003]

[UGH COMICS TIME]

A few months.

[imaginate]

[Not enough time to create an alternate future... unless--] Did something major happen on Earth?

[mrsarcastic003]

Which time? There... have been a few things.
