[Billy clicks onto video just having come in from outside, his face is flushed from the cold, and he's ruffling a hand through his hair to dislodge the fallen snow from it. He drops into a seat in front of his computer, grinning blissfully.]

Okay, so, that was cool. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's plenty about being here that sucks, but I

I'm kinda lacking in the theories department at the moment, but it's nice to know someone else appreciates the whole Christmas thing.

[my_freeze_ray]

Yeah, having theories can get a little dispiriting when there's never any way of having them proven or disproven.

I'm never going to get why people have such a problem with the christmas stuff! I mean, it's not like we didn't do this back home anyway.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm just new around here. I'm sure I'll pick some up eventually.

Exactly! Besides, there are definitely ways the Admiral could be more in your face about it.

[my_freeze_ray]

You're new! That's good, I was going to ask, but if we'd already met and I'd just forgotten about it, that'd just seem really-- I didn't wanna seem like...

[Throat clear.] So, warden or inmate?

Oh yeah, totally! I mean... the whole kissing thing might be a bit much, but nothing else seems that bad, really.

[batmanschmatman]

Warden. What about you?

Iiii think I missed out on the kissing thing, now that you mention it.

[my_freeze_ray]

Inmate. The name's Doctor Horrible!

[Why yes, it's completely necessary to put all that emphasis onto his name, why do you ask?]

Oh... right... well, just keep your eyes on the ceiling for the rest of the month. The mistletoe is kinda... participation mandatory, if you get underneath it with someone.

[That only gets a raised eyebrow from Dick. After all, he's fought people with far more ridiculous names.] Catchy. I'm Dick Grayson. Nice to meet you.

Sounds... kinda horrifying. Thanks for the head's up.

[my_freeze_ray]

Nice to meet you too, Dick. So, what do you think of the Barge so far?

And yeah, it's kinda just... more familiarity than you really want with some of the people here.

[batmanschmatman]

It's all right. I've met some pretty cool people plus some familiar faces from back home are around, so... No major complaints. [Minus the Sylar killing someone thing and Tim being all Bruceish but.]

I can definitely see that. It just kinda seems like an accident waiting to happen.

[my_freeze_ray]

Yeah? [Eyebrows raise at that] You've got people from your home here? Friends or enemies? [He scratches his head, looking a little awkward and smiling.] Sorry, sometimes it seems like the Barge sets out purely to screw with people like that.

And yeah, I'm surprised there are so few fights about it, actually.

[batmanschmatman]

Both. Pretty much fifty fifty right now, I guess.

So few implies there has been some. Guess I'm really missing out on some Barge gossip or something.

[my_freeze_ray]

That doesn't sound so bad. I mean, it kinda sucks, but on the bright side, you probably would have made some enemies here anyway.

If you're missing it I'm missing it too. I'd put money on there having been some though. Seriously, people here don't need an excuse to start an argument.
