Characters: Tim Drake and YOU (yes, you)
Setting: Library
Format: Brackets but feel free to use prose.
Summary: Newbie having something like a quiet mental breakdown in the library. Approach him during any part of his information gathering.
Warnings: None.


[As soon as Tim had arrived in the tower, he was determined to find out why he was brought here. Sorry, but he's not buying anything about his world being destroyed. He's helped save it far too many times to accept that.

So, the only logical place to go (besides interrogating various workers and other kidnapped people) is the library. Unfortunately, there was no section on the history of this place or even other worlds, so now Tim is striding quickly through the aisles of bookshelves, pulling books down at random to hold in his arms. That's not all of them, though -- just outside one of the aisles is a group of stacked books, unnecessarily high, where Tim is dumping them all.

Eventually, he sits cross-legged in the middle of all the stacks and starts to flip through the books at speed, skimming them for information. He doesn't particularly care if he looks odd; it seems like a good portion of the people here are just as curious about this place as he is.

As he reaches the end of a rather thick encyclopedia, he discards it a bit roughly and groans to himself.]

Oh, come on, there has to be something useful hidden in one of these books.

[Shoutarou was wandering by, once again using the library for...some sort of mild mental comfort. That, and the computers were in here. Tim's book-discarding and grumbling got his attention, however.]

If there is, we haven't found it yet.

[He glances up from his book, expression serious.] Then we'll have to try harder.

[thisclinchesit]

[If there's one thing Shoutarou's thankful for, it's these new people showing up with drive to find what he and others haven't been able to - it's one of the things that helps keep him going.]

Yeah, definitely.

[He holds a hand out for a handshake.] Shoutarou Hidari, private detective.

[Tim shakes his hand, looking him over now that he's introduced himself.]

Tim Drake. Unofficial detective. [He figures there's no harm in admitting it. There's no one here that knows who Tim Drake is supposed to be and there's no one to hurt if anyone connects him to Red Robin. Except Bart, but he can take care of himself, mostly.]

[thisclinchesit]

[Well, that's a curious introduction.] Unofficial?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

As in, I don't work for anyone.

[thisclinchesit]

Ah, not part of an agency.

Well. Either way, it's helpful to have another person with that skillset around to help. Much as my pride would hate it to know I missed something, I'd be very glad to be proven wrong in regards to finding a way out of here.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

The same goes for me. If we have multiple people working on this, we should be able to find something.

[thisclinchesit]

I need to get around to arranging a meeting of some kind of those of us who are interested in doing so, now that I think about it...

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea. Most people use the computer network, right?

[thisclinchesit]

Yeah, but I'm wary of it. Easiest way for our keepers here to keep tabs on us here is monitoring that... Not much in the way of other options, though.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

True. Maybe we can find a way to make it less public.

[thisclinchesit]

Hmm. If you've got ideas to how to go about that, I'm all ears.
