[Ned peeks around shiftily. He regards the camera suspiciously]

It's... quiet. Normal.

This is weird. Right? Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this is a weird flood. I mean, usually it's full-on chaos and like, animals and babies and crying and liquor and stuff by this point.

M-maybe most of us got passed over this time?

It has remained... stable, but it does have the potential to be embarrassing.

Embarrassing? How could it be embarrassing? As far as I can tell, nothing's wrong.

... Right?

We are unable to stop ourselves from answering any question presented to us truthfully. I do consider that something wrong, though some cultures might not.

Oh, God.

Yes. That's. Very wrong. Yep.

...I couldn't have said that better myself.

So, in the interest of trying to communicate without uncomfortable interrogatives, I hope you're doing all right.

It's turning out to be surprisingly hard to avoid questions.

I'm doing okay. Just - I sort of thought I'd managed to get under the radar on this one, but I guess not. How are... er. You should tell me how you are. If you want to, that is.

I know how you feel.

I'm all right. This... is not my favorite flood.

I mean... I've seen worse, but. I've seen better, too. This one definitely makes us pretty vulnerable.

Uh.. [Trying not to ask a question.] ..Tell me you're okay.

I'm okay! Just... kinda took me by surprise.

Are - that is, I hope you're doing all right, too.

Affected, but think I might be able to have some fun with this.

The non-chaos-inducing kind, I hope?

Nope not weird, potential for chaos, still definitely there.

[He sighs]

Man.

And here I thought I dodged a bullet.

canisayfuckmore August 14 2010, 23:53:26 UTC
Yeah, don't think that happens much here. Attracting more than your share of bullets? That sound more the Admiral's style.

How- uh. I hope you're holding up all right.

I'm doing okay, I guess. You, er. Should tell me how you are. If you want to.

It's weird how you can't even ask people how they're doing. I'd never've thought so many people were lying about being fine.

Well, that's one way of putting it...

easy_aspie August 14 2010, 20:05:57 UTC
Er- yeah, well. I figure the others do enough cussing without my help, so.

How's the flood treating you?

Ack. Sorry, that one just... slipped out. I'll get a hold of this 'no questions' thing in a bit. Probably. I hope.

Private lt_n_uhura August 14 2010, 20:10:34 UTC
It treats me just like anyone else.

It's alright. Really. That's a question I'm happy to answer. But...a filter might be better. Just in case.

Private easy_aspie August 14 2010, 20:20:16 UTC
Yes, right. Good call on that, especially since this flood has the potential to bring out some very personal information.

I mean. Everyone has secrets, after all.
