Party Time
JD: "....nothin' like being at a party full of folks you don't know."
"s'why I hate them."
JD: "The people? Everyone here seems nice."
"Nah, parties. Not big on people either, though."
JD: "Why throw one this big, then?"
"Because I try to be a good friend."
JD: "How long have you known my boy?"
"Not sure. That should really say everything though, shouldn't it?"
JD: "I guess. You know these people, though? I mean obviously their Tim's friends--"
"Nope. Family."
JD: "...what?"
"Well, most of 'em. Nearly everyone here's lived with Wayne at one point. The fruity-lookin' guy in the jacket there? That's actually the acrobat you had Tim take a pic with. Don't think he likes me."
JD: "A Flying Grayson? Explains what happened to their boy...."
"Uhh-huh. That skinny Asain girl Tim's talking to?....eh, dunno her story. Tim's called her "Sis" a couple times before. Don't think she likes me, either."
JD: "Seriously?"
"Yep. There are some friends here, though. The redhead Grayson's tryin' to feel up there? That's the GCPD Commissioner's daughter. I know she doesn't like me. I can tell."
JD: "Guess you make friends in high places when you have an income of a small country's GDP...."
"Heh, no shit. No idea who the suit with the anime hair is. Think he's a detective or something. I doubt he'll like me."
JD: "Hopefully they'll like me better, huh? Hehehehe...."
"Heh."
JD: "Well, thanks for being there. For my boy. Probably needed a friend after what went down at the Dragon's Triangle."
"No prob, man. Y'know, Tim told me the whole story. Sorry about your wife. That had to hurt...."
JD: "Gotta move on, y'know?..."
"I hear ya. Cultists, though? That had to be pretty scary."
JD: "Still have nightmares sometimes. Red-hooded creeps with spears."
"Wait, red hoods, and spears? Robes, too?"
JD: "Yeah. Should've seen the two bigshots dragging them around. Killed the old guy, looked like an ancient priest or something....."
"Did these guys have a name?"
JD: "Yeah. Think is was "Cobra" or something."
"......oh god."
JD: "What?"
"Tell me, the other bigshot. Was he like 6-foot, receding hairline, scar on the left eye, and oh yeah, a total piece of shit?"
JD: "Y-yes! I'll never forget his face! He was the bastard that killed Janet!"
"....are. You. Shitting me?"
JD: "No, really? Why, what do you know?"
" ...pppftffttf....ha..."
JD: "No really, you know anything?"
"...hahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!!!"
JD: "W-what's so funny? Hey!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
