Soooo, this always happens. There's some disaster, then there's a block of nothing, then somebody says they're bored and some morons jump down their throat for tempting fate and then the next disaster rolls in totally regardless of who said what.

It's been almost a week, and you know what? I'm gonna be that somebody. I'm bored. So when the next

[Congrats, Shego! Cissie... does not even realize she's been in a coma since shortly after Paris. As far as she's concerned, she just took a nap.]

Sure! What'd you have in mind?

...Wait. What disaster? I thought we--[OH HEY, someone just realized the date.] Damn it.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

...

Eesh, I thought you were just really quietly sulking someplace. Barge coma?

[Private]

[notarrowette]

I was sulking. Beatty had a bonfire, so I beat the crap out of a punching bag and took a nap and woke up about half an hour ago. What the hell happened?

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

You could get a much more detailed explanation elsewhere, but the short version? The Barge was being run by some other sadistic faceless demigod for a while and none of us noticed because before October there was almost zero practical difference. He made living conditions significantly worse for a few days, then got kicked out. Old Admiral's back in the driving seat now. Apparently.

Worse than the rust and mess on the deck that was going on before Paris? Ugh. ...Crap, does this mean the infirmary's full of people death tolling? ...Tim and Kirk are totally in there, aren't they. Are you okay?

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Worse. Like, entire cabins coming detached from the Barge and swarms of monsters cutting mouths into their blank faces with broken glass and then trying to bite you to death 'worse'.

I'm okay. I - don't actually think that many people died? I mean, by 'Barge disaster' standards. Tim and Kirk both made it through.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

...Geesh. So when you say disaster, you do actually mean disaster.

I'm kind of torn between feeling guilty I wasn't around and relieved I wasn't.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Enh. Most of the proactive superhero types got locked in the CES, so I dunno how much you would've been able to contribute if you had been around.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

Point. ...That also explains how Tim and Kirk made it through.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah. Although the CES was kind of....cyclones and wildfires-ish.

Speaking of which, I think Kirk got some kind of superficial head injury and had to give himself a buzz cut? So next time you see him, make a point of laughing because he looks so dumb.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

Oh, fun. Seriously, this place...

...Buzz cut. That is just so wrong. I thought you said he was okay; his ego must be seriously crippled by this. [They tease out of love?]

So how'd you make out through all this? I mean, unless you don't want to talk about it.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Not a whole lot to report. Got kinda gnawed on but it's healing. I'm okay.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

Gnawed on? By one of those faceless things you mentioned? Or--something else?

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Faceless things. If anything else was gnawing I didn't hear about it.

[Private]

[notarrowette]

Man. They didn't get you too badly, did they? You're sure you're okay? [Psuedo!little sisters. They fret.]

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Seriously, it's fine. I got a few bite marks and bruises but they're already healing. I'm okay.

I wasn't kidding about doing something. Wanna go for a run?
