conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 1 (masterpost here)
Jason: yeah me and B are on ok terms now,
Dick: oh you guys are getting along-?
Jason: well weโre doing ok, Iโm not mad at him anymore.
Dick: thought you wanted him to kill the Joker?
Jason: i did, but then like last week i went to the manor and i saw him smash the coffee machine with a hammer because it didnโt fill his mug enough; and i just donโt think heโd be a good killer.
Dick: *light wheeze* because he broke the coffee machine?
Jason: well it was just- *cracked grin* he gets- he gets angry, you know? and heโs not good at self control? like that machine did nothing and he just destroyed it. and i was just thinking about how, like, he decided that adopting kids was an acceptable thing to do, and now he has like eleven of us,
Jason: like he canโt see a kid without thinking โwonder if i can draft this oneโ. i think if we managed to convince him killing was ok it wouldnโt go well. heโd just keep doing it.
Dick: *through laughter* because of no self control?
Jason: yeah, like once he crosses that line heโd probably step over it at any minor inconvenience. he gets addicted and he gets mad at a lot of things.
Dick: so B shouldnโt kill?
Jason: well i- *wheeze* i have practice honing the rage, i donโt kill for stupid reasons. *pause* apart from that one time.
Dick, audibly amused: what time?
Jason: i sneezed and accidentially pressed the trigger.
Jason: i felt bad, man, like his cat was there-
Dick: *falls off his chair*
Jason: how are you this apathetic.
Dick: is that where Damianโs new cat came from?
Jason: itโs not like i could just leave it there!
Dick: i thought i saw trauma in itโs eyes. it had that wartime stare.
Jason: the blood spattered right across its fur. i had to bathe it.
Dick: Damian thinks it has anxiety
Jason: anxiet- dude it has more than anxiety, it has fucking PTSD-
