[Oh my God, it's Chuck! But he doesn't look too good. He seems panicked, and he's clearly wearing a hospital gown (which does in fact close in the back). If anyone remembers his curly mop? Yeah, that's gone now, and in its place is a rather professional-looking haircut. If he were wearing a suit, he'd look like a different guy entirely - but the ( Read more... )

Sweetie, are you all right there? Can you look at the camera for me?

scruffynerdhrdr September 27 2011, 03:14:28 UTC

Huh? I-- [oh whoops he's been recording.] --I guess I was talking to myself. Didn't realize I had this thing on...

[He looks at the camera. This girl's unfamiliar, which is good, probably - he read once that your brain can't make up people when you're dreaming. Maybe he's wrong. Being on the Barge is better than the alternative - and the lack of things exploding around him is beginning to make him think he's safe. Safe-ish, anyway.]

There we go. Hullo there! I'm Arkady, and you're on the Barge! We have something strange going on, again I suppose. I'm rather new here. You sounded like you were having a terrible time of it. Do you need anything?

[He blinks.] A flood? So the Admiral picked me back at the worst possible time...in the middle of a flood. [Sounds about right.]

I think...I think I'm going to be okay, it was just a real shock coming back like this. I'm Chuck, by the way. [He glances at his clothes.] And since I'm broadcasting right now, I think I'd better put something normal on before anyone else sees me.

[And you're on hold for about two minutes while he finds a geeky t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He returns, looking a little better off but still on edge.]

A new arrival, this late in the month? Interesting.

[He doesn't sound particularly concerned about Chuck's agitation. That would be because he's not.]

scruffynerdhrdr September 27 2011, 14:31:10 UTC

New...? No, I'm a warden here. How long have I been gone?

[Aaanddd he checks the date.]

Three months?!

betrayalswager September 27 2011, 14:35:03 UTC

... You didn't know how long you were gone?

[Curiouser and curiouser.]

It was just supposed to be for a few days. Or a week at most. Man, I hate this ship sometimes.

We all wish we were dreaming. I've woken up too many times to realize that I'm not.

[she pauses to light a cigarette]

And it's fucking annoying.

[Wat.]

...mom?

Re: [VOICE] terminatefate September 30 2011, 10:05:56 UTC

Probably not. [That said not unkindly] Not unless your name is John. You look like crap. Anything I can do?
