The apartment doesn't have a name yet....

[theshortestbird]

Who: Tim Drake, Blaine Anderson, Cass Cain, Conner Kent, Tavi, and everyone else who was invited by them! We don't have a cool apartment name, yet.
When: Friday, March 23rd, starting at 7:00pm.
Where: The apartment in Sector 10.
Summary: It's a "Breaking Down The Walls" party!
Warnings: Will update as needed.

Tim had woken up a few days ago and realized that they didn't have enough room for everyone. Cass had her room, and Tim had a room, but everyone else was sleeping on a cot or on the couch, and that just wasn't right. Both Blaine and Tavi deserved their own rooms, and so did Conner, now that he was here; it was actually his arrival that spurred on the need that Tim had to get everyone a room. His friends deserved more then a couch.

While they had been squatting in the apartment, in the beginning, by this point Tim had been paying for the apartment and everything else that was needed in it. And while he had made a deal with the man in charge of the warehouse down in sector 11, he had used his money to buy up the apartments on either side of their own. So, when he went and asked the owner if it would be okay to enlarge their apartment, and the owner didn't care, as long as they paid for everything... well. That meant it was time to have some fun.

So, while Conner could punch through walls if he wanted to, Tim bought up mallets and hammers for everyone else. They were going to have a party and break down some walls.

[ooc: Action tagging is a go! Eat, drink, and knock those walls down!]

I never said it changed how you felt! [He laughs.] The feelings you have will always remain the same, it doesn't matter what timeline you're in, or what universe.

[Grins.] That's a good thing.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine just sort of shrugs, his relationship with Kurt is still so messed up.]

So I'm glad you guys are finally getting more space. If you had anymore strays you'd have to open a shelter.

[theshortestbird]

[Poor bro ;A; ]

Me, too. Cass might be staying out a little more, but that still left us with a few too many people on cots. And that's not really fair.

[mediumdrip]

I'll be staying with Chuck too, so at least that will free up some space when I'm not here.

[theshortestbird]

You're allowed to keep two rooms. One of the rooms will be yours for whenever you might need it. [Smiles.] In case anything happens.

[mediumdrip]

Anything happens? [raising brow slightly]

[theshortestbird]

In case the entire city burns down except for this apartment, and you need to have a place to stay, away from the raging cannibals. [Nods.] You know. Just in case.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine laughs] Oh, okay. In case of zombies. I know where to run.

[theshortestbird]

Cannibals and zombies, yup. [Grins.] And maybe relationship problems, too.

[He pauses.] Look, just knowing you two, I know that you and Kurt might try to have a relationship again. And you should. But, maybe not moving in together again would be smart. Not that you have to take my advice or anything. But just know that you can be here for whatever, whenever.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine nods at that] I know. I've been thinking that same thing. If we end up back together, I'm going to stay where I am for now.

[theshortestbird]

Sometimes people just... need to stay apart. I know I wouldn't want to move in with someone I was dating right away. Being here messes some things up, but we're still young. We're not supposed to worry about moving in with whoever we're dating, right away.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine nods and smiles a bit.] That's what I'm thinking too.

It's nice to hear someone else say it though.

[theshortestbird]

Yeah, I think time apart is good. Just to get something normal going on, you know? [Grins and nods.]

Just taking things slow. I know if I was dating someone, I'd want it to go slow. Really get to know the person. What's that phrase... rose tinted glasses? And you see what you want to see, but not what you need to see.

[mediumdrip]

I don't think the problem is how I see him. I think the problem is how I see myself.

[theshortestbird]

Yeah. You don't really think a lot of yourself, you know? I mean... Blaine, do you even like yourself?

[mediumdrip]

I used to. I had moments, you know, where I wasn't sure who I was or what I was supposed to be doing, but I liked myself. I was proud of how far I had gone, that I had survived and found my place.

Now? Most of the time I'm not so sure. I just keep seeing all of these stupid mistakes happening over and over.

[theshortestbird]

If you keep thinking and worrying about the past, you'll never move forward. Everyone I've ever known has told me that. [He shrugs, letting the food sit for now and hopping up onto the counter.]

Not that it's easy. Don't even think for a second that I'm saying that, because it's so hard, and it sucks, and I know that. Things are always a little hinky when you have to let go of what makes you sad. I haven't let go of most of it. There's so much stuff I did, that I think about, and I just... hare myself for it. Which is what you do, right?

[He smiles a little.] Maybe you just need a good cry on top of a gargoyle in the rain. Works every time.

[mediumdrip]

[The words settle in and make Blaine feel a little better, but he smiles at the last sentence.]

Gargoyles, huh?

hate, not have ><

[theshortestbird]

Gargoyles. It's what you have to do, when you're out at night, and the grapples don't connect, and the bad guys get away, and you wish you could be half as good as Booster Gold...

[Dramatic sigh.] Gargoyles are the best. Just hop on top of one and glower down at the city.

<33

[mediumdrip]

[He laughs softly] You realize you sound a little crazy right now, right?

<3

[theshortestbird]

I forget, you come from a world where crazy things are actually considered crazy. [Grins.]

I should take you flying, sometime. It's pretty awesome.

[mediumdrip]

Flying? Like... with a plane?

[theshortestbird]

Flying, like... zip lining between the buildings. Or, I'm working on a zoomer? It'll be like driving a flying car. We can take that for a test run.

[mediumdrip]

Okay that actually sounds really cool.

[theshortestbird]

You'll like it. It's pretty much like a motorcycle, except six feet off the ground. And before you ask 'why six feet'... that's because I can't get it to go any higher, yet.
