Shrift, where does he first not want to be called Dick? 91? 92? It comes up a couple times with Amy.
Gotta take notes. Lots of 'em.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Plei - does he not want to be called Dick because he's being Nightwing? Is this more than a safekeeping the not-so-secret identity?

Sumi, I'm still torn as to the meaning. We haven't seen him out of costume since the graveyard, have we?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Plei, are you thinking of the scene in the BPD parking garage in 91? Because I didn't see that so much a matter of objecting to the name she was using as of resentment at her coming to him at all.

Amych: I'll have to doublecheck, because my memory has it happening more than once, and thus worth looking at, which could be the four hours of sleep making me see things.

Pretty sure not. And it's definitely more than all his stuff getting blown to smithereens. I may have to go back and revise my previous whitefont -- he's definitely got as sharp a split between costume and noncostume life as Bruce does, right about now .

I'd almost go so far as to say even more of one. Bruce usually at least *has* a non-costumed life, and right now it feels like Dick buried himself with the residents of 1013 Parkthorne.

No, I don't think we have. It's as though he thought he only knows how to be Nightwing and after this -- will he know what that means either?

Uh, for a slightly less melodramatic reading? He knows Blockbuster is after him wherever he goes, whatever he does. Wouldn't you want to be in your Kevlarware at all times under the circs?
