Don't feel pressured at all, Harley. I'll totally always be willing to come see you, anytime.

[ Last thing he wanted was to seem pushy, but wanted to make sure to offer. He expected the Monarch to be moody at least, but they had Sheila on their side. Which helped a lot. ]

Condemned? Should you be in there, Harley? [ Now he's worried. She had good reason not to invite him. ]

[revmeup]

Prob'ly not! [ She sounded entirely too chipper. ] But that's how the market is in Gotham. Anyway, temporary, like I said.

[twoton_twentyone]

Just be careful, dude. I worry. I know it can be terrible or sometimes not bad at all. Hell, this place was so totally condeemed, when we moved in. So, I get it.

[ Who hurt Gotham and made it that way? Was it Batman? Great Grandpa Batman? Someone caused this. ]

So, aside from that, done anything fun with your new temporary place?

[revmeup]

I'm going to look at a few places in a couple days. Do you want to come along?

[ She figured he would be more likely to spend time at her place if it was decent, and she had pretty low standards for herself. ]

Fun besides having hot phone sex with my very sweet boyfriend? Nah, I only moved in yesterday.

[twoton_twentyone]

Dude, no problem, just give me a time and I can be there.

[ He'd probably still go even if it wasn't decent. He didn't mind her old one. ]

Gotta say, that was super hot, you have the best ideas, Harley. [ A beat later. ] You think I'm sweet? [ He asked with an amused tone. ]

[revmeup]

I'll text you the details later.

[ He was reliable and would probably remind her of little details she tended to overlook, like "don't rent a place with a mold problem" and "insist on no holes in the floors" and stuff like that. ]

You are sweet. Like objectively.

[twoton_twentyone]

Cool, you know, I totally always have my phone on me. If it's on a Thursday, just let me know a few hours in advance. I go to a game night I'd need to cancel for.

[ Maybe windows that actually close and lock, and no blood stains in the carpets. Was that possible in Gotham?]

You're making me blush, dude. I think you're pretty sweet, too, dude.

[revmeup]

You already cancelled the last game night to see me.

[ She'd schedule something for Friday. ]

I try to be sweet to you. [ Everyone else can get fucked. ]

[twoton_twentyone]

You're worth cancelling for, Harley. I'm sure they'd totally understand. [ Some of the singles of the group would. The others would complain, since he was their team's barbarian.]

You were sweet to almost the whole time I've known you, dude. [ He sounded happy as he said it. He was definitely one of those that didn't get that her being nice didn't mean good for most of the time they've known each other. ]

[revmeup]

Mmm, agree to disagree.

[ He could hear the soft sigh as she stretched and changed positions. Maybe put some clothes on, but probably not. ]

What game is it? You don't strike me as a Call of Duty guy.

[twoton_twentyone]

Totally cool with that.

[ At least she hasn't yelled at him like Monarch has. He'd take agreeing to disagree.

He chuckled a little when she said he didn't strike her as a Call of Duty guy. ]

Dungeons and Dragons, at least most of the time. We've done Pathfinder now and then. [ He doesn't even sound embarrassed to admit that. ] And I play CoD sometimes, mostly when Hank calls and needs another player. Shooters are so not my forte though.

[revmeup]

No shit? I thought that was like an 80s thing. It's still around?

[twoton_twentyone]

Uh, yeah? Pretty popular again after Critical Roll, and other podcasts like that. Didn't you know?

[revmeup]

Why would I know that?

[twoton_twentyone]

[ He made an unsure noise as he leaned back more in his chair. ] I don't know, man, I just kind of assumed everyone knew. It's cool if you don't, I mean, it's totally not everyone's thing.

[ Monarch's made that very clear with his many many snippings of 'nerd' called out at the top of his lungs. ]

[revmeup]

Well like what is it? It's a board game or something, right?

[twoton_twentyone]

No, though that would be kinda cool. We all sit at a table and use the rules to make characters that we all play with rolls of the dice while one person pushes the story along. It's totally fun, and that's as simple as I can really explain it.

[ He was tempted to invite her, but he's kinda sure she wouldn't have fun.]

[revmeup]

Sounds like playing pretend with extra steps.

[ On the one hand, she has experience sitting next to someone for hours while not allowed to participate other than to smile pretty. On the other, those times sucked a lot! She is curious about the stuff he's into, but like. Maybe she can bring a book or something for when her mind starts to wander.

She would, however, absolutely dominate a LARP event. ]

[twoton_twentyone]

Ehh, I want to say no, but it totally is.

[ It almost sounded lame that way, but he loved it too much to hate on it. The horror would be more her being invited to play than to sit and watch. At least a book might help.

In fairness, though, Gary would absolutely go to any hobbies she had even if he got bored, he could take his switch.

She is SO getting invited to LARP one day. ]

[revmeup]

So what's the story that you play?

[ That's right, Gary. A beautiful woman just introduced you to phone sex and now wants to hear all about your D&D campaign. This might all be a dream. Maybe this is a last hallucination of a dying brain. Quick, check if you're dead! ]

[twoton_twentyone]

[ This right here, this made him flutter patted all over again. His super hot, way to good for him girlfriend asking about his dork stuff without making fun of him? THE best. Had Brock killed him and he didn't realize it? Or maybe he's fully gone mad. ]

Kinda basic, but we're totally a team of adventures seeking out a lost treasure, with a lot of fights and mysteries along the way. This story has been going on about six months?

[revmeup]

[ She will keep pressing for more details until he explains the entire plot to date, but blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda skip to the next scene. ]

Sounds fun!

[twoton_twentyone]

[ She was making all his nerdiest dreams come true, just by showing interest in his hobbies.

He explained in detail more and more as she asked. Sounding excited just to be able to talk about it.]

It totally is!

[revmeup]

[ What happens next may make him blow his load all over again: ]

Can I watch?

[twoton_twentyone]

[ ohh, that about did him in without even a touch or moan.]

Dude, really? OMG, that's so cool! [ A moment later.]

Are you sure? I don't want you having to be bored or anything.
