Hi! Icarus here!!!

l also run @bettergothamrogue @toolboxofnovapolis @kirkbridelabs-rescues @youvemetmeinanotheruniverse and @gothamite-local.

Same general RP rules as I have listed there, but I'll put them here too.

1. Be a nice human. I don't tolerate bigotry outside of Roleplay. I LOVE horrible characters that I'm meant to hate, but please don't be like that.

2. Don't force a storyline. If I don't want to answer an ask, I won't. Sending it in multiple times will not make that happen.

3. Mun is a minor. Do not send me hardcore NSFW stuff. I don't mind suggestive asks, or even fade-to-black sometimes. But straight NSFW will result in a hardcore insta-block

4. Have fun! If a response I send makes you uncomfortable, let me know! I am HAPPY to alter answers if you don't want to go in one direction or another!!

5. I love going dark/Dangerous places with my characters!! Take that as your official warning!

Gives you a mug that says ‘#219,571,117 dad’

“Ah? Hm well I like it! Does this mean I’m a bad dad or a good one

[kirkbrides-faves]

“……probably good…… that’s the top 36% of people in the world…… let alone dads…….”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Ah nice! Hey you doing okay today?” *He held the mug to his chest*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Mhm……….. sorry. Haven’t…. Been getting a lot of adrenaline recently…. So I’m just…. A little out of it.”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Adrenaline? Like scarring and stuff?” He frowned*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Yeah… it gives me energy.”

They rubbed their eyes a bit

“Just… haven’t been making a lot of nightmares recently…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I have been feeling a lot better…ah jeez uh I could scare myself?”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Nah, that… won’t do it. I have to do it in dreams…”

They smile a bit

“….Thanks though… I’m glad you managed to get that cart off… it seemed like it bugged you…”

Irving hesitated, but held their arms open to silently request/offer a hug

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I can go to sleep quickly. Hm.” *he smiled and moved hugging them* “it was bugging me a lot.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…Yeah, you looked sad.”

They buried their face in Hermes’s chest.

“…I learned how to make nachos, do you want some, now that you can eat..?”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I would love some nachos maybe we can also talk about some ways to get that pep back in your step?”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Mhm….. I make them in the microwave.”

Irving went to the kitchen, grabbing shredded cheese, tortilla chips, meat that had already been cooked, and black olives. Then they began to load the nachos up and nuke them for about a minute and a half each

“Here you go……. I like them because they’re easy…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Oh.” *he nodded as he watched* “you know I like that but if you ever want something now easy me or Robo could make something up for you.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“I know………… making things…. makes me feel good…….”

They fidget, eating some of their nachos

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Ah yeah…hm.” *He started to eat some of his own and his face almost soured it turns out olives were not the thing Hermes liked* “Hm.” *He chewed and swallowed before getting another one. Olives be damned his step kid made them so he’d eat em*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“….Are they bad.? Or…. I can make them different…….. like I said.. easy.”

They offered to take his plate. Irving would never admit that they often craved more than one portion, but if Hermes wanted something else, they’d take it no problem.

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“No. No it’s good! It’s how you like them!”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Yeah… but you’re making a face. Is it the meat? Or the olives? I guess it could be the cheese….. but you’ve eaten it like this before….”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“…I don’t like olives. But this is good! I’m so glad you made it for me!”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“I can make you one without olives….”

They tried to take the plate again

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“No really I don’t mind if I’ve eaten worse.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…….Okay.”

Worth a shot.

They took another bite of nacho, leaning against the counter

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

*He ate at his* “Um…have you gotten a chance to meet Angela? I’m sure she’d love to see you.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Oh- uh… no. I haven’t… I’ve mostly just…. Been in my room… I… don’t know what to… do with babies, so I just… usually don’t..”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“You don’t have to do anything just see her but if that’s too much it’s okay too I don’t want to push you.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…Nah, she’s my sister….. kinda. I should meet her.”

They put their plate down

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I’m glad you want to see her.” *He smiled and stood* “she’s a mutant. I’m she’s growing scales by the day now.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Oh, ok…… like lots of the family… most?…….. all, probably…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Hm no Jon’s not one and Emial is just a vampire…is Carpophores an angel or meta?”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…Jon isn’t..?”

They pause

“….I thought vampires counted as metas…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“No no he’s just…well he’s got that evil on him…god I sound like a pastor.” *He sighs and rubs his face* “maybe? But ii didn’t think so.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“….You probably know more than I do…. You’ve been alive longer.”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I don’t think so I’m sure you know more about some stuff than me.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“……Different lives….”

They shrug

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“……probably good…… that’s the top 36% of people in the world…… let alone dads…….”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Ah nice! Hey you doing okay today?” *He held the mug to his chest*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Mhm……….. sorry. Haven’t…. Been getting a lot of adrenaline recently…. So I’m just…. A little out of it.”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Adrenaline? Like scarring and stuff?” He frowned*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Yeah… it gives me energy.”

They rubbed their eyes a bit

“Just… haven’t been making a lot of nightmares recently…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I have been feeling a lot better…ah jeez uh I could scare myself?”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Nah, that… won’t do it. I have to do it in dreams…”

They smile a bit

“….Thanks though… I’m glad you managed to get that cart off… it seemed like it bugged you…”

Irving hesitated, but held their arms open to silently request/offer a hug

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I can go to sleep quickly. Hm.” *he smiled and moved hugging them* “it was bugging me a lot.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…Yeah, you looked sad.”

They buried their face in Hermes’s chest.

“…I learned how to make nachos, do you want some, now that you can eat..?”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“I would love some nachos maybe we can also talk about some ways to get that pep back in your step?”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Mhm….. I make them in the microwave.”

Irving went to the kitchen, grabbing shredded cheese, tortilla chips, meat that had already been cooked, and black olives. Then they began to load the nachos up and nuke them for about a minute and a half each

“Here you go……. I like them because they’re easy…”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Oh.” *he nodded as he watched* “you know I like that but if you ever want something now easy me or Robo could make something up for you.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“I know………… making things…. makes me feel good…….”

They fidget, eating some of their nachos

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“Ah yeah…hm.” *He started to eat some of his own and his face almost soured it turns out olives were not the thing Hermes liked* “Hm.” *He chewed and swallowed before getting another one. Olives be damned his step kid made them so he’d eat em*

[kirkbrides-faves]

“….Are they bad.? Or…. I can make them different…….. like I said.. easy.”

They offered to take his plate. Irving would never admit that they often craved more than one portion, but if Hermes wanted something else, they’d take it no problem.

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“No. No it’s good! It’s how you like them!”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“Yeah… but you’re making a face. Is it the meat? Or the olives? I guess it could be the cheese….. but you’ve eaten it like this before….”

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“…I don’t like olives. But this is good! I’m so glad you made it for me!”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“I can make you one without olives….”

They tried to take the plate again

[the-odd-eyes-ofhermes]

“No really I don’t mind if I’ve eaten worse.”

[kirkbrides-faves]

“…….Okay.”

Worth a shot.

They took another bite of nacho, leaning against the counter

“Ah? Hm well I like it! Does this mean I’m a bad dad or a good one

[kirkbrides-faves]
