COZY, COMFY, AUTUMN LEAVES FALL
🍁 Rainy Changes.
The seasons are changing, and the fall rains are here. The leaves are falling. Where are you? Out in the city, or maybe walking through the rain thinking about the upcoming season?

🍁 Leaf Piles.
Guess what? The autumn leaves are in piles. Time to bomb in or push someone else in!

🍁 Coffee Read-Me Time.
What better to do than curl up and read with a favorite book, forum post, or social media feed? Enjoy the changing of the seasons from inside. Maybe you'll even have some company.

🍁 Make Your Own.

Why not make your own adventure as the nights turn longer and the temperature drops?

SPOOKY, SCARY HALLOWEEN
🦇 Trick-Or-Treat.
Are you taking others out on the festivities? Giving away the candy? Or maybe just watching as the madness unfolds? Either way, it's a perfect time for a fright.

🦇 Monster Mash AU.
What if you were a vampire, a werewolf, a witch/wizard, vampire hunter, mummy, ghost, or any other flavor of spook? Time to roll the dice and see what might happen if your fate was just a bit more frightful...

🦇 The Long Halloween.
How about a horrible scary night? Locked in a scary house? Maybe someone has driven everyone mad. Maybe vampires are on the loose, or there is even a zombie invasion! Whatever is happening, the dawn is far off, and you may not survive the night...

🦇 Spirit of Halloween
Is that the Headless Horseman? Are you suddenly in Sleepy Hollow? Yes, you are. Enjoy a town that makes you feel like you walked into a living incarnation of the Spirit of Halloween store... but they're not costumes.

🦇 Make Your Own.
Why not write your own Thriller?

Dick nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of his father's voice - he wasn't used to Bruce being around at night, since he seemed so fond of burning the midnight oil when it came to his work rather than sticking to normal office hours, so the sudden appearance was something of a surprise.

He focused bleary eyes on the man standing above and tried to be as upright as possible - it was pretty obvious he was drunk and somewhere at the back of his mind he knew that, but he still tried to minimise the swaying (without a lot of success).

"Maybe they should answer. Maybe we should have the technology for that. It could be the next big thing." he joked "Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"You know me. Late nights." He gestured down the hall. "Go sober yourself up, Dick. I'll be down soon."

Because tonight was a bit of an intervention. Bruce didn't care if Dick was going to be a playboy. He cared if there was going to be more to it. The Wayne name had power to it... but even more so, he felt it was time to let Dick in on the 'family secret', as it was.

Dick looked confused - it was late, why did he need to sober up just to go to bed? But there was something in Bruce's tone that suggested he wanted to talk, so as tempted as he was to shrug it off and go to bed anyway, he dutifully turned and headed down towards the kitchen instead.

He drank some water while the coffee boiled and grabbed some leftover pizza from the fridge, dropping into a seat at the table with a sigh. He really did just want to go to sleep, so whatever Bruce wanted it better be important...

True to his word, Bruce was down the stairs within ten minutes. His clothes suggested he had been working on something that wasn't business related. Though a look in the garage in the way in would of shown it was none of the cars. He grabbed two cups for coffee and put one in front of Dick, the other in the seat next to him. Then he brought the pot over and poured once it was ready.

"Do I want to know where you were tonight?"

Like he didn't already know.

"Oh, here and there." Dick waved a hand dismissively, reaching out to grab the coffee cup and take a sip.

Honestly he'd lost track somewhere along the way, they'd ended up hopping from club to club. Mostly it was a miracle he'd come home alone.

"You want to talk about something, don't you?" he asked after a moment - he might be drunk, but he wasn't a total idiot.

"Hm."

Bruce took a seat across from him. He gestured to the drink in front of him. "Sober up a bit. You'll need it for this talk."

Dick frowned in confusion, he hadn't realised this was going to be that serious, but he nodded slightly and acquiesced, finishing up the slice of pizza and a little more of the coffee. After a few minutes he nodded.

"Alright, what is it?"

He sighed. It wasn't an easy thing to talk about--especially as he had no idea the best way to say it. Being blunt would make it seem that he was joking about the whole matter.

"I think it's time to pull you into the other business I have, Dick. The one that isn't on the books."

"Other business?" Dick repeated, unsure if he was missing something or he really wasn't as sober as he thought "What other business?"

If he was honest, the way Bruce phrased it sounded kind of... shady. His frown deepened in concern.
