A/N: This isn't Tom. I knew there was something I forgot in my last A/N, and I remembered. I am not British. I am, in fact, American. So I will be spelling things the American way, and using the American words. Sorry to all of you who prefer British over American. Virtual cake to everyone who knows the cartoon I referenced (it's not that hard), and cookies to everyone who catches Reddy's little slip about being human. Enjoy! -Ice
A/A/N: This is Tom. Well, I'm going to be going through and changing everything to its proper British spelling.
I'm also going to ruin Ice's cake contest (which is a lie) and tell you that it involves me.
Even I didn't get the "slip about being human," but he made a pretty deep bit of philosophical shiz in the second-last entry here. Damn.
Read some RTJ, listen to some of The Doors, and review!
- Tom

Discovered Zatanna and Robin locked in Robin's closet. Suspicious enough to begin with.
When I let them out and inquired why they had been in the closet originally, Kid Flash ran in, said (I quote) "They were playing the game Seven Minutes in Heaven and we decided to help!", cackled, and ran out.
I decided against asking what this "Seven Minutes in Heaven" is, and left post haste. Robin and Zatanna both looked very upset, and as this often leads to trouble, I decided that if I was not present, I can honestly say later that I did not know of a revenge plot. Which there is sure to be.

Had a rather uneventful day at school. Learned there had been a food fight in the cafeteria when Artemis came into class covered in mashed potatoes. According to the other teachers, it was all Richard Grayson's fault. Naturally.
Observed an interesting interaction between Artemis and Kid Flash at the Cave today. Artemis was returning to her room after a shower, wrapped in a towel, when Kid Flash ran into her, causing them both to fall to the floor. Included the audio file:
ARTEMIS (shoving Kid Flash off and standing up):Watch where you're going, Kid Calamity! People are walking here!
KID FLASH (hurridly standing): Sorry, I- OH GOD YOU'RE IN A TOWEL. I, uh, I'm so, um, sorry.
ARTEMIS (clutching towel tighter around herself): Yeah, that's what happens after someone takes a shower. They need a towel.
KID FLASH: I, uh, I'm, eh, I mean...
ARTEMIS: Are you staring at my chest!?
KID FLASH (hurriedly): No! It's just...the scar on your collarbone. How'd you get it?
ARTEMIS (angrily): You were beside me on the mission I got that, Baywatch.
KID FLASH: Uh, ahm, er, hmm...oh whatever, just hit me already.
ARTEMIS: Ugh, this is why I don't like living in a cave with four guys!
(Artemis angrily departs for her room.)
ROBIN: (coming down from the ceiling where he had evidently been observing): She didn't even hit you! Good, good, yeeesss. We are making MUCH PROGRESS, yeeesss. (rubbing his hands in maniac glee) MUUUCH PROGRESS AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Kid Flash flees the scene while Robin's laughter echoes around the corridor)
I shall have to begin work on the nuclear fallout shelter sooner than I originally thought.

Robin invoked the power of Bat-Contingency #821 again, and took another day off "to go give Mr. Polka-Dot his birthday present." Are these Gotham criminals even truly villains?
Zatanna and Artemis took advantage of his absence to redecorate his room, with Miss Martian's eventual help. I do not believe Robin will particularly...enjoy...the flowers and hearts now adorning his walls, but Zatanna assured me he would "totally love them; especially the big picture of Twilight Sparkle above his bed!"
Whoever "Twilight Sparkle" is.

Robin did not appreciate the new decor in his room. Both Zatanna and Artemis now have entirely black rooms and somehow all the lights have been removed.
Both of them refuse to sleep there, as apparently there is the noise of Batman laughing being played at all hours of the night, and it sounds "Like an angel having its wings ripped off with a crowbar." - (Artemis' words, not mine)
Lovely.

Was informed that John Smith will be required to act as a cafeteria supervisor beginning after Thanksgiving break. This should prove to be an interesting assignment.
Returned to the Cave from a League meeting on the Watchtower to find that Robin and Zatanna had taken revenge for being locked in the closet on Monday; there is now a large pink arrow, of similar design to the one on Artemis' uniform, painted on the ceiling of Kid Flash's room. Why have they all taken to decorating each others' rooms?

Was introduced to "Saturday cartoon marathons" today by Kid Flash and Robin. Why do humans take such pleasure in small, drawn, electronic characters inflicting pain and damage on each other? Though the cat and the mouse represented humanity rather well, I thought. Always trying to overcome the other, set in predestined roles over which we have no choice. Yet we rebel, because we wish to make our own paths.

Trained almost all day. Increased accuracy with the Flamenado and the heat-beam by 9.3%, leaving a 4.37% deviation. Will have to train more.
Robin received a letter and a package, the sender being one "P. K. Dot.", which read, as far as I could see, "Ta for the scarf, Robin. Really goes with my prison uniform nicely. See enclosed."
I did not see what was enclosed, but I do not doubt that it is bad by the way in which Robin laughed when he saw what it was.
