[It isn't often that Robin uses his journal. Oh to be certain, he monitors the thing closely, keeping an ear to the town's goings-ons from the most grandiose schemes to even the pettiest birthday announcement. But lately, Robin's been mulling over some Serious Issues that lack cohesive data in any concrete ways. The necessary solution is crowdsourcing.]

I think it's safe to say most of us have a decent sense of te line between fact and fiction. So now I'm curious: how many of you have met someone here who tells you that you're not real? I'll be filtering your responses, so don't worry about airing your information in public.

[Because naturally, Robin himself doesn't count as public. That would be silly. He sets aside the stack of abused library-gained comics he's been poring over for the last week. There's been enough to unsettle him, but not anything concrete. So some Archie guy can't decide between two girls. So Iron Man and the Hulk teamed up with some guy in a Spider outfit. Even the Superman-punches-an-alien comic doesn't tell Robin much he didn't already know. The issues are too short and too out of sequence to provide any real understanding. Whose world did these things come from? Is there a portal-jumping journalist hopping between dimensions and publishing people's lives as fiction? Or is there more to it than that?]

Oh, and one more thing. Is anyone planning on taking over the pizza place? It's kind of a shame it's just sitting there.

Relation to another person's culture as fictional doesn't imply a lack of sentience.

[After all, Chuck wrote about Sam and Dean for years before he found out they were actually real.]

Yes.

[Not that it was particularly troubling. Most humans don't believe in angels until the light show.]

No, it wasn't.

[On the grand scale (and Cas is so very fond of looking at the big picture), some dude insisting you aren't real isn't so much troubling as it is mildly annoying.]

I'm confident in the surety of my existence.

[Throw a moral dilemma his way, however, and he falls to pieces.]

[That's the same tone Dean used when he was lecturing Cas on his morality, or lack there of.]

Yes.

[Pause. Then, because he has to check:]

Is this discussion finished?

[voice]

[personal profile] bondsprofoundly 2012-05-24 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't.

[And then he just...closes the journal. Effectively hanging up on Robin.

Sorry bro he's not used to this "communicating politely" thing yet.]
