making the guest list!

[justicedriven]

[It had to happen eventually. Bruce may love Lucrecia Crescent with his entire heart, but even that can't save him from the agony of making a guest list for their wedding. They ran in completely different social circles - he barely knew her friends, and vice-versa - so it made sense that they'd have to figure out who to cut and who to keep.

Only problem was, Bruce didn't really want to do this. He'd hire someone else if she weren't so insistent about doing it herself. So he's set a station at their dining table and asked Alfred to bring them tea and biscotti while they worked.]

We were planning to cap the wedding to around 250 people at most, right? I think any more would be outlandish. [It's more like big weddings bore him - how many of those people would really care for him, anyhow? They just wanted the free food.]

Never? [There's the hint of a challenge in his voice. While Tim isn't exactly educated on Japanese legends either, he's always been fascinated by origami. He's about to ask her why not, since she's pretty good at the stars...

Then of course, she has to ask him about his favorite hobbies. Does she want to bond with him, or is she looking for a weakness that she can exploit later?] Uh...

I play a lot of video games, I guess - the kind you can bring on your phone? [He fishes out his phone and shows her his current obsession, Angry Birds.] I played console games too, but there's not much time for those when I work with Bruce most nights.

[She's trying to avoid a biting memory of locking herself in a supply closet, methodically ripping up and folding a notebook in a pocketful of a celestial light while Hojo tears through the lab shouting for her, eyes glowing with whatever he's injected himself wi--she shakes her head free of it and lights up with excitement.]

I love those games! Have you played Plants versus Zombies? They're all so cute. Even the one with the robot unicorn--Vincent showed me that one. I'm no good at it, though.

... Really, really not good at it.

[technobird]

[Huh! She actually knows more modern video games than Bruce does. This is kind of surprising, but in the good way. There might be another nerd in the house!]

Robot Unicorn Attack? Yeah, it's not as easy as it looks. [There's a split second where he looks torn, before he gives into his kindness and asks:] ... If you want, I could show you how to play.

Later, that is. It looks like you're kinda busy with invitations.

[formularylove]

[Definitely a nerd. An easily bored nerd that probably plays harder than she works. And drives herself neurotic over it.]

Hmm?

[She looks back up from signing some papers and studies him. This really is going far better than she expected. Bruce will be happy! She's happy! Her face tugs in another smile.] That's really... sweet. We should sometime.

I mean, I know you're busy, too, but a few minutes--that would be nice.

/and it's a wrap?

[technobird]

Just let me know when you've got a moment. [He makes a mental note to bug the study room, just incase she tries to plan something. This way, he'll have PHYSICAL PROOF that Bruce's going insane.

... Or it's proof that Tim's paranoia has reached new heights. One of the two. He rises to his feet, double-checking that he's got everything before he takes the paper star into his hand and tosses it into the air.]

I don't usually have nights off, but I can squeeze in something before patrols - plus, you should know how to reach me.
