[Rex is fiddling with some snake skin in his hands. Because one of his snakes was preparing to shed a few posts ago. YAY CONTINUITY.]

Have all of you shed your ridiculous new personas now? I'm not certain what the purpose of that particular flood was, except perhaps to give the rest of us a headache

Vastly improved as soon as I've drunk enough to forget the last forty-eight hours.

I don't care how many words that was.

Perhaps I should have made it "one sentence to describe your life." A word can hardly capture the "Barge experience".

You weren't affected, were you?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Yes. Yes I was.

[NO FURTHER INFORMATION INCOMING EVER.]

You?

Private

[stopthat_destro]

No. I just had to babysit. A few people were eager to make terrible decisions.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah, I know how that looked.

Do you even know what that flood was? The best I can work out is 'terrible parallel-universe versions and clones' but the Barge seems to like floods you can sum up in one or two words.

That's as much as I could take from it. Iago was some... modern version of himself with-- [AHH who's better known than James.] Major West's face. It was bizarre.

Or your guy. McCullen, right?

[Paaauuuuseeee.]

You didn't, uh. Wake up with him or anything, did you?

Re: Private

[stopthat_destro]

Right.

Yes.

[Snrrrk. These things are funny when they happen to other people.]

Sucks for you, Doc. Still. Could've been worse.

Re: Private

[stopthat_destro]

Oh, absolutely. But it was still a surprise. I can now say I've seen my boss naked.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

But really, when are you likely to be in a position where that's relevant?

Re: Private

[stopthat_destro]

Never, I hope. But you never know with the Barge.
