We built this city on rock and roll...

[is_the_motion]

It is early in the morning in at least one time zone.

A giant flatpack hut has been set out ready for the Scouts and helpers to help assemble*, barn raising style.

Able to lift stuff? Able to hold stuff while it is attacked with a nailgun? Able to hold a paintbrush? Able to make cold drinks and bring them to the sweaty builders? There is a role for you!

Once the building is up, they can start on the rest of the playground, but one thing at a time.

There's also a gramophone in one corner of the site, playing some suitably inspirational barn-raising music.

[*Assisting in completion in any way will earn your Scout a Construction badge.

OOC: Have at, party post style :)]

Jay snorts. "Yeah, that's about the nicest thing I could think of to say about him."

He gives a little nod at Dick's jump, acknowledging the skill in it. "So what else did X tell you?"

Re: Setting up the playground

Dick glances down at him, partly to see where the next rope's coming from, partly to see what he means.

"About what?"

Dick and X talk about everything.

Re: Setting up the playground

[runningred]

"Me, mostly. I'm curious what else she had to say." Mostly because X doesn't waste works.

"Oh."

Dick takes no more than a second to think about this, and that's mostly for dramatic effect.

(He's a performer, forgive him.)

"That you were a sad, angry jerk."

He grins down at Jay. "She likes you."

Re: Setting up the playground

[runningred]

Jay shrugs. Why argue? "She's got me pinned there."

Re: Setting up the playground

"It's alright," Dick says, with a shrug. "I'm a sad, angry jerk, too."

Bruce is a sad, angry jerk. It's like a requirement.

"Hey, we wouldn't be able to do what we do if we weren't just a bit messed up."

Re: Setting up the playground

[daringyoungman]

"Exactly."

Or maybe they wouldn't want to. Definitely, if Dick had the choice, he'd be back in the circus, and not doing that thing he does.

But he doesn't have a choice, so this'll do.

"We ended up as Bats for a reason, Dickiebird." Jay sighs philosophy. "Just don't let the cave get you down, hey?"

Re: Setting up the playground

[daringyoungman]

Bird, not a bat. Dick doesn't much want to be Batman at this point in time. He's happy being his partner, despite the fact that Jason seems to represent the idea that he won't be forever.

"I like the cave," he says. "It's quirky."

Re: Setting up the playground

[runningred]

Jay snorts. "Does he have the dinosaur yet?"

Re: Setting up the playground

[daringyoungman]

"He's had the dinosaur longer than me," Dick says, with a hint of wistfulness.

He'd have loved to have been on that adventure.

Re: Setting up the playground

[runningred]

Jay shots him a quick grin. "Have you found the remote control for it yet?"

Re: Setting up the playground

[daringyoungman]

Dick rolls his eyes. "Found that in my first month exploring the cave. He's not as good at hiding things as he thinks he is."

Re: Setting up the playground

[runningred]

Jay chuckles. "Yeah, he benches me for a week when I found it. I might have taken it out for a stomp around the grounds."
