[captain_bitterness]

Sometimes, yes. Usually when I think the person will come in handy later on.

Not at all. As I've mentioned before you have that European model look which pairs nicely with designer clothing.

[theotherobin]

With your penchant for wearing suits, I bet he's come in handy a lot.

[he even learned a new, fancy word, Nate. aren't you proud of him?]

See, you're cool like that. You never underestimate me.

[captain_bitterness]

Absolutely.

[Maybe a little bit, but not because of the new word. More because he wasn't a brat during the tailoring.]

Of course not. So, would you like to go over the plan for tonight?

[theotherobin]

Does Giselle always come along too?

[Jason would appreciate that too. he's not generally such a brat though. he just talks without thinking sometimes.]

Hell fucking yeah, let's do it.

[captain_bitterness]

Not always but most often yes.

[Nate nods and pulls out his laptop, opening it up so he can show Jason the floorplan of the venue they will be at. Highlighting exits, windows, and areas of interest like the back room where a lot of deals tend to go down.]

Like I told you before our job tonight is to mostly watch the two brothers and see if and which one tries to make a deal with Thomas Segal. I also want to keep an eye out for anyone else they engage with, the feud between them is building and I suspect they are going to be using this whole men's club event as a way to try and bring in others.

[theotherobin]

Damn, I might need to get more suits.

[Jason sits up, moving in a little closer to see the laptop and check out the floorplan. exits, windows, areas of interest...this, he's real fucking good at. it's something he does naturally when walking into a room.]

You got a list of regulars? VIPs?

[captain_bitterness]

[A couple of quick taps on the keyboard and a list pops up on the screen, along with photographs.]

Right here. As you can see it varies from the young and rich to old money.

[theotherobin]

[ Jason reads what's on the screen, nodding slowly as he scans the photos carefully, one by one. ]

Yeah, it really does. Good for us, huh.

[captain_bitterness]

Yeah, it will make us both blend in a lot more.

[For the next hour Nate goes through all the details with Jason, normally he wouldn't be so thorough, if it were Sadie he would just tell her what to do but Jason is not only extremely clever but he's also interested in this aspect so Nate is a lot more patient and open about all the aspects.]

You pick up on things quickly.

[He comments as they finish up and he closes his laptop.]

[theotherobin]

[Jason is attentive as Nate runs through all the details, offering thoughts and ideas when he thinks of something, asking questions when needed, but mostly he just takes in the details and files them away.

it's a good operation and a good plan and Jason really is excited to get to work with Nate.

he smiles a little at the compliment, though deep inside he's pretty much beaming.]

It's an important part of being Robin.

[captain_bitterness]

True, but not everyone can do that.

[He tucks his laptop into it's slim case and then pulls out a simple black notebook.]

Speaking of picking up on things though, I believe I told you that I'd show you an example of a bullet journal while you're here.

[theotherobin]

Guess that's why Bruce keeps me around, huh.

[hopefully for more than that, but there are some skills he has that he knows he excels at and he's glad that more than one person thinks so, especially cause Nate is highly skilled too.]

Oh yeah, sure. That one's yours?

[captain_bitterness]

Yes it is.

[He opens the book to a marked page where Jason will see a simple grid, across the top is the days of the month and down the side are a list of things that say such things as:
Workout
Meditation
Yoga with Leslie
Hits
Drinking
Sex
Nightmares]

This was December. [He says and runs his finger across the grid, showing that he has filled in a grid mark on certain days to line up with some things off his list.]

At a glance you can see that I drank too much, had no sex and did four jobs in one month.

[theotherobin]

[he smirks a little at that, and now that he's feeling a little more positive about himself he's more open to this bullet journal thing than he originally was.

he looks it over, then glances at Nate.]

No sex, but how many times did you jerk off?

[captain_bitterness]

[Nate rolls his eyes and doesn't answer, instead he flips the page to show Jason what his January looked like.]

Now compared to last month you'll see I was more diligent with my workouts, still drank a bit but managed to squeeze in yoga with Leslie at least twice.

[theotherobin]

Look, if you're gonna track all this, I think that would be valid and important too.

[he says even when Nate rolls his eyes.]

So then what do you do with this information?

[captain_bitterness]

Well if you start your own feel free to track your jerk off habits.

[He says dryly.]

Like I said before it serves as a good way to track progress and habits and you might start to notice if things are linked. Like it's obvious the more I drink the less motivation I have to work out.

[theotherobin]

I'm just saying, maybe the days you jerk off you're more motivated to work out more too. That's important shit.

[he shrugs with a smirk, then holds his hand out for the journal so he can get a better look.]

What if I do all these things every day?

[captain_bitterness]

[Nate passes him the journal.]

Then you'll see just how busy you are and the areas where you might need to cut back.

[theotherobin]

[he goes back to previous months, looking through it slowly.]

So like, when you do something one month and not the next but then the months after, what are you actually doing about it? You're just going back to old habits.

Not trying to be a dick about it, just asking.

[captain_bitterness]

You might be going back to old habits but having it laid out visually can help you recognize when you're doing it so you can try not to.

It's not a cure for bad habits it's simply a way to track things easily and give you a clear visual of what you do. If you keep one long enough you can see how much you either stay on track with something or how much you've changed/gotten better with a certain aspect.

[theotherobin]

So you actively keep all this in mind and try to work on it every month?

[captain_bitterness]

In a way I don't need to keep it in mind because when I open the journal it's all right there for me to see.

It's like having a spreadsheet for your life.

[theotherobin]

Yeah but if you're using the information for your daily life you gotta keep it all in mind.

Like... drink less, fuck more, should I go to the gym today, maybe I haven't done enough yoga with Leslie so I gotta schedule that in, but going for drinks might work out better for me tonight, but shit my bullet journal said I'm already drinking too much and not working out enough so maybe that's not the best option and oh, I should just go home and jerk off instead.

[captain_bitterness]

[Nate looks at him for a long second.]

You're really invested in my masturbation tendencies.

But yes, you have a point there. Perhaps I don't see it as actively keeping it in mind since I've been doing it for so long that it's just second nature now.
