Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm learning that I sometimes come off a little overzealous and pushy, and it's definitely something I'm working on bettering. Nearly dying is kind of an eye-opener, that way, you know? Also an eye-opener? A brief stint at West Point wherein I realized who I do and don't want to be, both as a person and a crimefighter.
Funny, I thought landing on your feet came easy to you. :)
Actually, part of why I was reaching out was because I had kind of a question? And a favor! I had a short talk with Jason - the one who owns/runs Descendant, I haven't really met the other one yet - and you know how I've been like. On the outside so far? Keeping myself away from everyone? I kind of think it's time to like reverse the course on that and officially - and I'm using Gotham society terms here I know - make my debut. Like. You know? I was thinking of holding a little Bat-family soiree at Descendant one evening, but I was hoping I could recruit you to help me invite everyone who needs to get invited? You're more in the know than I am - I literally just learned who some of you are behind the mask - and I'd kind ofl ike to start making friends. Maybe not be so alone anymore?
This is the Belfry. I'm going to be doing a combined birthday party/housewarming on the 22nd. The house is going to be open to members of the family and people of our world who come over that we know and trust. So if you'd like to come, you'd be more than welcome.
!!! Okay, Jason mentioned the Belfry - great name, btw - and umm. It looks even better than I thought it was going to?
And yeah, I'd lvoe to come for that. Let me know if you need me to bring anything? I'm Cordon Bleugh girl as far as cooking goes, but I can carry out like no one's business.
Honestly, just bring something that you'd like to drink if you want something alcoholic? We have a caterer that we've used for parties at Descendant a few times and I've got them doing food for the housewarming. But the drinks are mostly going to be soft drinks because most of us will be going out on patrol later in the night.
I'm not so much one with the alcohol anymore? I mean, once in awhile, sure, but I'd like to avoid getting the "Easy Bette" name that's, umm, haunted me for awhile, you know?
Speaking of the patrol thing...would it be okay if I tagged along? Or is that, like, overstepping my bounds?
Yeah, I'm not much of a drinker, either. I don't think most of the people who are going to be living in the Belfry are, so no real reason to keep the alcohol around. Not to mention a few members of the family being under age.
I can't see why not. You can tag along with me, if you want, or one of the others. It's one way to get the layout of the area.
Also - and this probably doesn't matter much to anyone else - but alcohol's like AWFUL for your skin. You get all wrinklyI and dull way faster than you would otherwise, and no thanks?
And thank you. I think a little Nightwing and Flamebird team-up could be fun!
