[Damian does not know how to talk to people. This has been established numerous times over, and that was when he didn't even have a reason to need to interact with anybody outside his immediate family, and he'd needed no other friend but Dick. Times have changed, and he'd rather die than be friends with Tim Drake and Jason Todd. Having to acknowledge them is bad enough. Living with somebody else was better than them.

But this roommate thing? Yeah. He is so not having this.]

Anyone tasteless enough to play pop songs older than my father until 4 in the morning deserves to have their stereo system systematically dismantled and crushed into dust.

[He is not asking for approval or validation. This is not opinion. Damian Wayne has said it, and therefore it is fact. It's just a question of- has he done it yet?]

Comments

[notdogmatic]

Why is the age of the song important?

[babybatshit]

Because it's abnormal to be that enthusiastic about songs from two generations ago. They weren't even that good when they were released.

[notdogmatic]

Which songs?

[badnewsboy]

Is there ale? Commonly held in what the Midgardians call a "keg"?

More importantly, are there balloons?

[babybatshit]

It wasn't a party. That would have made much more sense than dancing in your underwear alone to "R.E.S.P.E.C.T."

[eggplantier]

Um, that sounds like my ideal night.

[acclimate]

Do you think that would be very wise?

[babybatshit]

Yes. Regardless of whether or not I actually decide to live with an insane alien.

[acclimate]

I am not insane, only ... appreciative.

[badnewsboy]

I'll bring the balloons!

[eggplantier]

It's like I forgot what a huge partypooper you are, and you're doing your best to remind me

[babybatshit]

Some of us have more important things to do than waste all our time guzzling chocolate ice cream and blasting the golden oldies for the hell of it.

[eggplantier]

Don't forget the waffles!

[detectivewonder]

...You're rooming with Noh-Varr?

[acclimate]

Much to his chagrin, yes.

[detectivewonder]

Damian's my little brother. But not biologically, and we didn't grow up together, so I claim no responsibility.

[babybatshit]

No, that's what they want me to do, whoever "they" are. I'm going off on my own.

[detectivewonder]

What a great idea. I wonder why nobody thought of it sooner.

[stillpretty]

I had a roommate who was obsessed with Cher's Believe and played it on repeat once. It was horrible.

[acclimate]

No, this is nothing like that—though Cher is enjoyable at times.

[stillpretty]

I guess that'd make you the oldies-but-goodies roommate?

[babybatshit]

Then you understand why this is completely unacceptable in a roommate. Even if I were going to stay with him, which I'm not.

[tookthename]

Depends, what bands?

Also, who's you're roommate?

[acclimate]

Me.

[babybatshit]

No it doesn't depend.

Tt. Some Earth-obsessed alien.
