Who: Jason Todd, and whoever wants to bother him.
Broadcast: None
Action: VRD // Waystation
When: 4/21, in the wee hours of the morning // 4/27, mid-afternoon.
{{ It's two, two, two events in one! The first will be a lovely VR romp through Gotham at night, set up for his new friends, but open to anyone who feels like crashing the party. The second, taking place a week later in honor of Jason's Death Day (4/27), will involve a lot of alcohol. OMG SO MUCH ALCOHOL. And as many fights as he can get away with starting at the nearest Waystation. }}
[ For the moment, half of the VRD has been turned into a little slice of Gotham, all gargoyle-encrusted skyscrapers and gothic splendor. There's a full moon overhead, and only the smallest shreds of cloud. Between that and the ambient light from the city, visibility's pretty good. It's a gorgeous summer night, and Jason's relaxing for the first time since he got here.
It's a cheap trick, but he's willing to be soothed by this little taste of home, especially since this place should allow him to run the way he's used to. He even went out of his way to pick a time when there would be less competition for the space, and less chance of someone turning his city into a beach mid-jump.
Robins need to fly, after all. ]
[A week later: Jason hasn't had a chance to earn much money yet, but he's spent some of the past week working security, picking up what he can. And now that he's got money to put towards things not a ship upgrade, he's gone and spent it on alcohol.
Yes, all of it.
This isn't a good day for him. This is the day that Jason Todd, Age 15, got beaten nearly to death with a crowbar and then blown up. He's been increasingly keyed up over the past couple of days, the nightmares getting more frequent, and generally he's been feeling like there's a scream trapped in his throat, getting louder and louder...
So obviously, the solution is no sleep, and lots of alcohol. He's got a few bottles of something that might be space vodka, or might be industrial strength engine degreaser with a vodka label half-assedly slapped on the bottle. It tastes foul, either way. He's sitting in the central courtyard of the waystation, already halfway through the first bottle. When not sending drunken text messages with his communicator, he's been harassing random people. ]
Hey, you. Yeah, you.
Fight me.
[ Is he talking to you? A random passerby? A potted plant and/or especially lifelike bit of statuary? YOU BE THE JUDGE. ]

[ And while he's not planning on getting into detail with someone who's already made up her mind about him, even if he wanted to, her coming in close to knee him in the balls would cut him off before he could go any further.
He sees it coming, but he doesn't have the reflexes to block her. Not right now, anyway.
He's going to go down as soon as she gets that hit in and pain takes up all the mental focus he's using to stay upright... but maybe he can take her with him. When he moves, it's ugly, clumsy, an attempt at a grab and throw that lacks all finesse... but if he's going down, he'll be going down swinging. ]
...Nice. [ His voice is tight, pained... even all his training and the buffering effect of space vodka can't make him brush off getting kneed in the balls. ] I should've been watching for that.

So she sees that coming, but she doesn't know ho to react to get away.
She instinctively grabs into him when he throws her, though, trying to stop it and then just... bracing herself for the impact. She might be a little bit impressed, too.]
Where did you learn that?
[At least falling doesn't hurt much - well, one arm landed a bit awkward, but he seems worse off, which is good enough for her.]

My-- [ He shuts his mouth abruptly, cutting off whatever he was going to say. ] --a guy I used to work with. Taught me a lot about unarmed combat. Maybe not everything I know, but damn close.
[ He rolls away from her a little, giving her room to get back up. ]
I could teach you sometime. Maybe not the whole fighting style, but how to throw someone, how not to get thrown... And if you don't trust the asshole who tried to pick a fight, I can find you someone who knows the same stuff but hasn't been a drunken idiot at you.
[ For now, though, he's just gonna stay here on the floor. The floor is good and steady, and would never ever betray him. ]
