[Oh, is it December? Robin's spent the post-Thanksgiving weeks holed up in his apartment struggling to piece together the bigger picture. Joker was here. He's spent seventeen Luceti months stuck here without any real progress to show for it. Things are as bad as they were on day one, which is clearly a failing of Robin himself. And lo, he's fallen back into his brooding. With Jason here to wear the Robin suit and scour for petty street crime (that never even happens), Robin only needs to monitor the journals. And plan. There's so much planning. Planning isn't even something that needs to happen in direct sunlight.

It means he hasn't been outdoors since the last time someone dragged him out. Even his usual sessions with Aang and Jason have been set aside in favor of his obsessing. They won't need to learn how to fight better if he can just crack the secret of getting them out. And if the Joker's here, then the Joker's in league with Slade. Or maybe he's not and Slade is just using this pocket dimension as a way to be rid of all his competition at once.

...Which brings him back to the journal. There are just some things that can't be learned without directly interaction with the subject base.]

What was the last thing you did at home before you were brought here?

[It's just an afterthought into the ether. No greetings, no explanations, no introductions. There's no time for that. He's much more concerned with working out filters to throw on the replies as they come in.]

[Luke hasn't really thought about that for a while. Several months ago, in fact. He's at peace enough with General Madine's death.]

Attended a funeral.

[Written]

[teenwonder]

[...Okay, ouch. That's not exactly what he was expecting.]

I'm sorry for your loss.

Whose was it?

[Rei...didn't really want to think about it, and certainly didn't want to share too much with a stranger. But what was the harm? After all, it was a season for sharing, and she wouldn't be telling the whole truth, just what she'd done, not Mars.]

I'd just finished my homework, and I was preparing for a test.

[thefinaljedi]

General Crix Madine. He died dismantling a machine designed to destroy planets. The man was a hero.

[calmbeforethe]

We'd just returned home after retrieving a friend from a... compromising situation. It had been a long day.

[Ororo had come from a hot bath after a tiring day, really. But that wasn't what Robin wanted to hear, was it?]

[Written]

[teenwonder]

He sacrificed himself to save others? I think every hero wants it to end like that.

[Written]

[thefinaljedi]

He did. He managed to disable the superweapon, and saved a lot of lives.
I think he'd consider it a fitting end, for an old soldier.

Why do you ask about all this?

[teenwonder]

Tell me more about it. [But because this is Ororo, Robin's going to backpedal some politeness into it.] -- I'm trying to find a pattern, I mean. Maybe there's a common circumstance that brought us all here that we've overlooked.

[calmbeforethe]

That's fair. [Ororo nods once, then frowns thoughtfully. How to phrase this without making Rogue sound like a damsel in distress...]

Well, Rogue had been in need of a little help. The exact nature of which, I'm afraid you will have to hear from her, as I'm not sure she would appreciate my divulging the details to you so candidly. [She gives Robin an apologetic smile.]

But suffice to say, we'd made it home safely after a long night and I had just retired to bed after a hot bath. When I woke up next, I found myself in Luceti.

[Oh whoa, is someone feeling social today? So weird, even if it's for a greater cause. Jason will indulge him with a semi-truth.]

I snuck out and took my dad's car for a drive. He wasn't too happy about it.

[Written]

[teenwonder]

What kind of a test was it? And were you conscious when it happened?

[filtered]

[teenwonder]

[Oh good someone's got the sense to filter at the start so Robin doesn't have to auto-filter his reply -- and oh it's Jason. Jason what are you doing.]

Cute. I'm sure your father gave you an earful about it.

[Written]

[teenwonder]

It's good that you appreciate what he did.

I'm curious to see if there are any common threads in our arrivals. It's not something that gets discussed often.

[teenwonder]

So you're saying you fell asleep after an important incident?

[calmbeforethe]

I went to sleep after an event significant enough to bear mentioning. There is a difference.

[Written]

[faithfulflame]

It was a history test, and I believe I was. Otherwise studying would've been rather difficult.

[Written]

[thefinaljedi]

Hard not to, the Rebellion would've been a mess without his planning. He was a hero before the Darksaber, really.

An interesting idea. And no, it doesn't seem to come up much. How about you?

[filtered]

[curiositykills]

[He is helping. And also being a brat. At the same time.]

Tried to. We didn't really talk much after we got home. Didn't see each other in the morning, either, because I woke up here instead.

[selfhelp]

[Hi Robin. He's still mad at you, this week's been shitty, and he knows you're suspicious as ever, so have a mildly trolling response.]

I was in prison.

[Voice, filtered]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang knows all too well the last thing Robin remembers, which is worthy of concern. But not an immediate problem.

...He takes about ten minutes setting up the filter. The things he does for his bro.]

I don't remember how much I told you already... but when I first got here, the last thing I remember I was on my way to a meeting with the others, and it was really urgent. But then that time I went home for one night and lived a week back home, that whole emergency ended, and now the last thing I remember is swearing in the air acolytes.

[filtered]

[teenwonder]

Unconsciousness seems to be a common thread from the reports I'm getting. We just don't have enough information to tell the significance of it.

[filtered]

[teenwonder]

[that is TOTALLY not trolling HE KNEW IT HE KNEW IT.]

For what reason?

[Voice, filtered]

[teenwonder]

[SO. PROUD. At least he would be proud if he wasn't wallowing in INTENSITY.]

Take it more specifically for a second. What about the small actions? Did anyone say anything suspicious to you?

[teenwonder]

You're right. [And it's crazy impressive that she caught that. Ororo, why are you so perfect?]

What about the people around you before you went to bed? Was there any chance of an outsider's interference?

[Written]

[teenwonder]

In that case, can you tell me about the transition? what do you remember about the trip here? [Considering she's one of the only people he's heard of crossing into Luceti while conscious, he suspects lies.]
