One thing I miss about working with B: access to shit. This whole system I've got going - namely, the one where I don't have access to GCPD files unless I ask Oracle really nicely - is getting old. Like, really old. And old is never a good thing when your cases are time-sensitive. Like, oh, the possibility of kids being "exported" from the docks.

But I can't get the files I need, because I don't have B's connections. Not that he ever answers my calls, but... well, he's not answering my calls. My normal go-to in this situation is "blow shit up," but I don't want to hurt any bystanders, mostly because they're kids, and blowing them up isn't saving them.

This sucks.

Plan A was totally on the mark though, right?

I mean, shadowy info broker to budding mastermind here, I totally have a future in planning for-the-betterment-of-society heists, right?

Plan A sounds pretty solid. And it looks like I'm the only one who admires how thorough your list of other plans is.

[jlf_speedy]

Thanks! The way I grew up, you kinda needed like, plans A through Z to stay alive.

I could use some remote assistance while I'm in the dispatch room, if you're willing to help out in that way.

[jlf_oracle]

Sure, I can do that. Just let me know when and I'll make sure no-one's hijacking my server to download Downton Abbey [side-eyes Red Hood]

[jlf_redhood]

It wasn't me, hand to God. Look at the darling middle child. Have you even seen his Netflix queue? I don't know how he's got time for all that television.

[jlf_oracle]

You can't fool me with your tricksy words. You're the darling middle child too.

[jlf_redhood]

Yeah, but he's the middle-est. Big burd, me, little red, lil sis, and the murder kitten. See, he's right there in the middle.

And I'm nobody's darling.

[jlf_oracle]

That's not what I hear, darling ;-)

[jlf_redhood]

Yeah, well, that's... that's private. That's totally different, and you know what I mean.

[jlf_oracle]

Also, you forgot: Ms. H comes before you, so you're tied for middle-ness with Red Robin.

[jlf_redhood]

Did she get adopted while I wasn't looking?

[jlf_oracle]

This is why you should've showed up to Bat clan pizza night.

(Check your email. Not that one, the other one)

[jlf_redhood]

Oh. Holy shit.

And there are so many reasons I don't show up to Bat clan anything. So many reasons.

[jlf_oracle]

For future reference: if pizza is involved it means no A, which means no Brooding B.

[jlf_redhood]

Yeah, he's not the only one skipping pizza night lets me avoid. You know dearest most octopus-like older brother has actually tallied how many hugs he "owes" me? No thanks.

[jlf_oracle]

Aww he's not so bad once you get to know him. And once you train him like a cat, by spraying him with water every time he goes somewhere you don't want him to go: I probably shouldn't be saying this, but his secret weakness is...

[jlf_redhood]

...I'm all ears over here. Don't leave me hanging.

[jlf_oracle]

Check your email. I can't going spilling secrets to *everyone*

[jlf_redhood]

That is possibly the funniest thing I've heard in weeks, oh my god.

[jlf_oracle]

Train him like a cat. You won't regret it.
