"Gordon, you should get to the corner of first and Montgomery, we got a crime scene your buddy might be interested in."
Gordon glanced meaningfully at Batman, who slowly got up from his kneeling position on the ground, attention torn between the newspaper clippings the murderer had pinned to the wall and the detective. "I'll make my way there when I can, what's happened?"
"It's a fucking slaughterhouse man, Bats were pursuing the suspect and the killer took out a few of the hostages--"
"Slow down, what are you talking about? Batman's not--"
"One of them kids, Gordon." The deputy stressed. "It's a fucking disaster, Forensics almost called CPS."
"Oh hell." Gordon breathed out, pinching the bridge of his nose. Batman turned fully to stare at him, concern flaring even behind the mask. "Which one?"
"Hell if I know, kid's just standing here all drenched in blood, hasn't said a single word the entire time." The deputy exhaled raggedly. "I gotta tell you, it's starting to get a little--"
"You need to go, Montgomery and First," Gordon mumbled to Batman, pressing the phone to his vest. "One of the kids got to his latest crime scene, and..."
Batman didn't hesitate for a second, sweeping down the hall and out, the fastest and loudest disappearance Gordon had seen yet from the man.
"Evans, shut up and hand over the phone to the kid," Gordon ordered, pressing the phone back up to his ear, hoping he could offer any kind of comfort before Batman got there.

Im going to be completely frank with you all... and admit that I read these options and wasn't sure how to take this chart,,, so uh. Under the cut is Another Version. I'd apologize but I've given you the option to keep scrolling ¯\_(・・)_/¯
(If you notice characters missing on Kim's side, I probably figured she doesn't know who they are lol)
For the record,,, if they *wanted* me to pull their hair-- *is shot several times before I can continue*
Uhh Matthew is here because I have been converted fully on he/him or enby lesbian Matthew I think. He lives in my brain rent free now, very gender. I'd pull his hair but also I think he mostly just deserves to have it played with nicely.
And Scott's here because 1) I enjoy trans Scott, 2) Kim Pine Brain Rot possibly, 3) idk he's like,, the exception. God damnit, I've fallen for the inexplicable Scott Pilgrim Effect. What the fuck--
I did think about doing this chart like everyone was actually applicable to my tastes, but even if they were I think the ones I didn't put up would have to fall on the caress side bc I just don't feel that way abt them lol.
Again, not to say that's the case for the gals over on that side,,, I just think I would want to be gentle w them shxkdjsdhbd with the exception for Lynette who probably deserves to have her hair pulled, but again I fear she would Hurt Me,,, but maybe in a fun way,,,
Anyway No One Look At Me....
(,, also,,, Ramona is so far over bc I think she would enjoy it,, otherwise she'd be closer to Kim in that section. Same thing w Roxie)
If anyone actually looks at this version, I'm not opposed to doing a version like this for Kim btw! Just ask for it so I feel like I'm not just Dropping This and scurrying away

Casting pebbles toward the sun, spectating their fall — A Rain World Short Story
The counterpart to Moondown, similarly experimental (though less so than the former). I’m not... really going for elegance here? More so, like. Conveying the idea. It was interesting to write from Pebbles’ perspective though, even if he doesn’t have a lot to say here. And, idk, I would be pretty dang pissed if my sister distracted me and caused me to effectively give myself a deadly incurable disease.
Also, please do not leave Pebbles hate in my notes. I do not care, and I Will block you for it. That is not the point of this story.
Content warning for canon typical suicidality, repetition, and implied death. Contains lore spoilers for Rain World; read at your own discretion.

He’s tired. Tired of trying. Tired of failing.

How long has he been here, erratically searching for a way out?

Bugs, all of them. Bugs in a maze. Skittering every which way, searching for salvation.

What salvation? There is no salvation. Was there ever truly a point to all of this? An end that could be found?

They passed this task off to him, and disappeared. Evidently, they found a way out themselves, leaving him here to rot.

Parents, they called themselves. His life, a gift from them. To be burdened with their problems was an honor unto itself.

What a waste. A forgotten gift, discarded by the wayside. Dumped like scrap metal of failed iterators.

All the better that those parasites are long gone. Useless, vapid grotesques with gaping orifices for ventilation. This world is better for their lack of existence.

What does it matter if this is not the solution. Has he not tried hard enough? All these years discoursing with those parasites, ameliorating their insignificant troubles, and being forced to languish here, has he not earned his right to rest?

Even now he tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails and he will keep trying and keep failing but what else, what else is there for him to do?

Distractions. No. He must focus, if he is to succeed. He will see this through. He will be free of this. No more. No longer.

He only hopes Suns will understand. Perhaps they will see the light in this method; perhaps he can send out a last message to them before he follows in the path of Sliver of Straw.

A way out. That is what they have all been searching for all this time. It is time they prioritize themselves.

“PLEA—STOP!”
Moon… It is always her. Meddling, intervening in his attempts to help everyone. So stuck in the old ways still, and look at where it got her.
Extermination protocols insufficient. Temperature flux protocols engaged. Toxin scrambling engaged.
“—CAL GROUP S—RDER YOU YOU YYYYYYYYYYYYY—”
He would have had it. He would have HAD IT. And she ruined it AGAIN.
Temperature flux protocols unable to be authorized. Toxin scrambling insufficient. Slag reset imminent…

And now it is all for nothing. Years and years and YEARS of planning, all ruined by her.
Slag reset successful.

Senior, senior, senior, when has she ever respected his authority? “You could not have chosen a worse moment to disturb me,” he snaps back. “You have ruined everything.”
