Bruce: Congratulations, Jason! You’re the first of my kids to graduate college!

Dick: Yeah, first and only one for all eternity!

Bruce: *Ignoring Dick by sheer willpower* Anyway, what are you planning to do next?

Jason: I think I’m going to continue my education in English Lit.

Bruce: *nervously* Great. You’ll get a Master’s Degree, right?

Jason: …

Bruce: …right?

Jason: Actually, I’m going for a PhD.

Bruce: This is a terrible joke. You’re over the supervillainy, right, Jay?

Jason: Look, my application to GothamU’s PhD program was accepted!

Bruce: No child! Of mine! Will get! A PhD!!!

Jason: I’m hoping to be a literature professor at GothamU, if I survive long enough.

Bruce: *screams incoherently*

Dick: I think you broke him.

Vaggie: "It's also a test of my love for her."

Charlie: "You are very VERY brave for being so small."

Vaggie: "I love you so much I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."

Poppy: It’s perfectly normal for a Troll to flirt with someone who’s in a relationship. It’s not like they’d know right away. Bridget: So you wouldn’t mind if another girl flirted with Branch? Poppy: Oh no, I’d punch that skank into next week, but that’s besides the point.

machete is like a delicate looking white flower, one where the petals turn transparent when it rains. vasco is a marigold for many reasons.

Ooo I like that! It never even crossed my mind to assign marigolds to Vasco, but it makes perfect sense. I had to look it up but the flower that turns transparent in the rain is called skeleton flower, and yeah, I can see how that would fit Machete.

I tend to associate irises, damask roses, and forget-me-nots with Vasco

And red carnations and poppies with Machete

Vaggie: "A trident, huh?"

Charlie: "Okay yes... that kinda just, popped out... I STILL prefer a shield though!"

Vaggie: "You did pretty good with it anyway, honestly."

Charlie: "Is it bad I enjoyed stabbing Adam?"

Vaggie: "No."

Charlie: "Nnnot suuure if that's true..."

Vaggie: "It's true. Ask anyone who isn't Lute."

Charlie: "Hmm."

Vaggie: Seriously babe, for someone who's never used a polearm before, you did a really, really good job with it."

Charlie: "Oh but, that was easy?"

Vaggie: "I guess having such a stabeble target helps."

Charlie: "No no, I just asked myself, "well what would Vaggie do?" and-"

Charlie: "-VAGGIE!?"

Vaggie: (tearing up) "You were. Thinking about me?"

Charlie: "Yes but-!"

Vaggie: "While sticking Adam with a long pointy stick and making him bleed?"

Charlie: "YES I was! But are you okay???"

Vaggie: (tears streaming down her face) "im ok."

Charlie: "You're CRYING! I made you CRY?"

Vaggie: (choking) (crying) "Charlie... they're tears of joy, I p-promise."

Pre-Wenclair. Students are gathered in the Quad around a marble status.

Ajax: *walks up* Yo Kent! Check this out!

Kent: Huh? Sup?

Ajax proudly shows off a Build-a-Wolf plush.

Ajax: Pretty sweet, huh? I even shelled out extra for the custom pink ’n blue hair.

Kent: That’s uh, cool.

Ajax: Just cool? C’mon, Enid will go crazy for this! I’ve got her secret admirer beat for sure this time!

Kent: Bruh, dunno how to tell you this, so uh… *points at statue*

The statue is a stunning rendition of Enid Sinclair from the night of the Crackstone event, in a style reminiscent of the Aphrodite of Knidos. Every detail is captured, from the texture of the oversized coat to the fine goosebumps on exposed skin. Her expression is one of desperate relief. Raw in both beauty and emotion. Undeniably exquisite.

Ajax: 😧

Ajax: Well fuck me, dude. *shoulders droop*

Kent: *under his breath* I wish.

Ajax: What was that?

Kent: I said “let’s ditch.” I just finished downloading that game ya wanted to play. Feeling up for it?

Ajax: Ganja ’n game night?

Kent: Hell yeah! Anything for my dude.

Ajax: 🥹

— On the other side of the statue. —

Bianca: Gee, I wonder who could possibly be behind this.

Bianca squints down at Wednesday, who is suspiciously dusted in white.

Wednesday: Yes, it is a mystery that even I would be hard-pressed to solve. A pity.

Wednesday: *tracks stone powder as she leaves*

Bianca: 😑
