[At some later time, Oswald will wonder when he began to associate the word 'home' with residences in Duplicity and not with Gotham, but for now--]

It's good of you to make contact, Jason. I was starting to worry.

Did your unfortunate detour involve encountering some unexpected friends that we should consider repaying a favor to?

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

He's back in Gotham, so it hardly matters. I'm between intense rounds of painkillers, so you have me lucid for about twenty minutes.

[paxpenguina]

You must be on some potent medication to think you sustained injuries from someone back in Gotham.

You do know what you are, don't you? Or was your use of the word "lucid" rather generous and/or wishful thinking?

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

I was in Gotham. I got sent back, and then brought back here.

[The message sits on Read for several long moments and then the typing bubble appears and vanishes a few times.]

And I assume you had no say in the matter in either leg of this journey.

How long were you in Gotham?

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

None at all.

About an hour?

[paxpenguina]

You went back to Gotham for an hour and in that time rendered yourself out of commission?

I NEED DREAMWIDTH TO GIVE ME MY NOTIFICATIONS

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

I know this doesn't mean anything to you yet, but I ran into the wrong side of the Bat

DW wants us all to suffer

[paxpenguina]

You're right, it doesn't mean much to me, though I've heard tell of something bat-like gracing Gotham's future.

What I don't know if this Batman is named after the animal or the sporting equipment. You're starting to make me think it might be the latter though.

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

The animal. It's very dramatic bullshit. It's like being hit by a truck, which, incidentally, is what I'm telling people happened.

[paxpenguina]

It's Gotham, when is it not?

I take it you'd like me to perpetuate your truck tale should the topic come up.

Have you seen an actual physician or were the painkillers you're taking obtained through alternative means?

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

I'm seeing someone soon. We'll figure out a solution.

[paxpenguina]

That sounds vaguely suspect, but I suppose all I really need to know is when you'll up to speed again.

Unless there's anything additional you wish me to know about at this stage.

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

You might want to cool it on the pastries if you don't want to get round.

You get fat back home.

[paxpenguina]

[Wow, what the hell, Jason. This one definitely sits on read for a while and you can absolutely picture an Oswald's bemused face if you want.]

I'll take it under advisement. And maybe fire our chef.

[He will not, in fact, fire Persephone...]

[turdusmigratoriusmortuus]

Why would you fire her? You're the one with the eating thing.
