They say it's your birthday.

WHO: Tim Drake and OPEN
WHAT: It's Tim's birthday. That doesn't mean he has to acknowledge it.
WHERE: Various Locations through Dualis
WHEN: July 19
WARNINGS: None yet!

Tim hasn't actually forgotten that it's his birthday. It's happened before and he'd been roundly mocked for it, but that's not the case today. It's just that he doesn't want to do anything about it. He gets up early and ducks out so that Cissie can't rope him into a birthday breakfast or something, and decides to spend the day really getting to know the new city he's found himself in.

It's not Gotham--nothing else could be--but there are parts of it that almost seem familiar, and he doesn't think he's going to have a chance to get bored here. People are people, no matter where and when they are, and there's always going to be something for a civically minded vigilante to do when they get together in numbers like these.

He finds the chess players in the park and watches for a while, then plays a few rounds with some strangers. He wanders through neighborhoods, and eventually even makes his way to a beach. Opts not to go swimming.

He knows he can't avoid Cissie and Steph and his birthday forever, but he feels like he's doing a pretty good job right now.

[Feel free to find Tim at any of the locations listed above, or any other place you think he might wander! He'll be eating foods and looking around getting to know the layout of the city, so anything is game! Even potentially rooftops if it's late enough!]

Rooftops after dark are always a part of cities that feel familiar to Jason. It was the same in Wonderland and the unnamed village - why wouldn't it be the same here? Dualis, for all its oddities and differences, still feels more like Gotham than the rest of the places Jason's landed for the last couple of years, and that's a weird thought to recognize.

Gotham is just one of the things on Jason's mind as he sits at the edge of the roof, thinking (not brooding, thanks) with one leg dangling over the ledge and the other bent to prop up his elbow. A half-burnt cigarette rests between his fingers - a bad habit, one he's mostly given up, but Batgirl's not here to chew him out for it this time, and tonight, he just doesn't care.

He senses someone else on the roof with him when Tim arrives, and there's only a select few he can think it might be. Tim is, of course, at the top of that list, so Jason guesses it's him, though it makes no difference to him whether it's Tim or Steph or a stranger come to shove him off the roof.

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the worlds," he says, quietly, with his usual dry tone. He doesn't look to see who's behind him. "You here for the view?"
