Purple honor.

( Superior, surely? At least that's something they both have. )

[controlledvariable]

[brb Steph's just going to cackle for a little while.]

Purple honor, sure.

[pls]

trying to remind myself to spell all American with Hel and Donny is weird

[crossbearing]

( this is serious, Stephanie )

You have to respect the color.

at least it's not text so it doesn't matter if you mess up

[controlledvariable]

I try not to take anything too seriously.

[For all that she sounds a bit flippant to match the comment, she... does actually mean that.

Taking things too seriously gives them too much power.]

DOESN'T IT

[crossbearing]

It's a tightrope, isn't it?

( Their lives, their ideals. Helena can't stand how self-righteous Batman is, but at the same time, that power is a little intoxicating. )

NO

[controlledvariable]

Maybe we should ask Dick for advice.

[BA DUM TISH]

TEARS OF JOY

[crossbearing]

( Such a longsuffering sigh. )

I hope you get eaten by a lion.

u ok

[controlledvariable]

That's oddly specific.

[Is it because they're talking about circuses.]

never

[crossbearing]

I thought you might be able to deal with the knife thrower more easily.

( Yes, yes it is. )

oh

[controlledvariable]

Are you saying I couldn't take a lion?

[EXCUSE U]

[crossbearing]

Okay, okay.

A lion, a tiger, and a bear.

( oh my. )

[controlledvariable]

Oh my!

[what did you expect]

[crossbearing]

Something tells me we aren't in Kansas any more, Toto.

( And thus Stephanie acquired a terrible nickname. )

[controlledvariable]

How come I'm the yappy dog?

[crossbearing]

You can think about that as part of your training.

'Night, Toto.

[controlledvariable]

You're not making that a thing!

[Please don't make that a thing.]

[crossbearing]

( Hey, Helena was just quoting. Steph was the one who assumed she was the yapping dog.

But Helena just chuckles, and hangs up. IT MAY VERY RARELY BE A THING. )
