Entry 2: Video

[uberwaldian]

[Angua is looking a bit sleepy, a bit disheveled, and more than a bit annoyed.]

Well, I suppose I've found out what these "Barge comas" are all about, now. Has anything happened since the Admiral was reinstated?

[She glances down at something in her hand, then holds up a file.]

Other than this, anyway. Which of you is Jack Carter?

Comments

[strangehstorian]

Ah, oh no. How do you feel?

[uberwaldian]

I've got a bit of a nap headache.

[strangehstorian]

Do you know how long you were unconscious?

[uberwaldian]

No, not a clue. I don't quite understand the calendar here, anyway, but I believe it was, er... November? The third.

[expectremorse]

A big green lady attacked some people in the CES.

[that is all he knows.]

[uberwaldian]

...sorry, green?

[expectremorse]

[Hoffman is mentally composing a report on the incident for Narvin. He was asked to do it. asked.]

Green female who could control plants. Her name's Ivy. Poison Ivy. She grabbed some men and some women and used them as meat shields. Friends are dead.

[twitch] Well death tolling but that's beside the point because that's par for the course. You say you coma'd?

[uberwaldian]

Oh, yes, but I think that was just an accident... Poison Ivy, really? My gods. [She makes sort of a face -- really, what is it with villains and tacky names?]

And, er, I'm sorry to hear about your friends, of course.

[cartergetsyou]

That's me. You must be Miss Angua.

[Interest definitely piqued by pretty blonde lady who he is probably about to underestimate dreadfully.]

[uberwaldian]

[He already has!]

That's Captain Angua, actually. Captain von Uberwald, in point of fact, but we can stick with Captain Angua for the time being.

[cartergetsyou]

What sort of captain are you?

[uberwaldian]

Police. Ankh-Morpork City Watch, Special Division, to be exact.

[And because she gets the feeling Carter is that sort of man, she fishes the leather-and-gold chain she wears round her neck out from under her clothes and holds up the badge on the end.]

[warrenwhite]

Nothing much has happened. Except for all those free flowers left in the dining hall.

[uberwaldian]

How lovely.

[warrenwhite]

I don't know, they don't look that great? But hey, you can pull them apart and that improves them a bit.

[uberwaldian]

I guess every little bit helps, anyway, right?

[strangehstorian]

Great!

[And a copy of this gets slipped under her cabin door.]

[Spam-esque]

[uberwaldian]

[A while later, it's slipped under Chromie's door, with an attached note:]

Do you have a pet dragon? I'm just curious. - Angua

[The survey has the following answers circled:]1. Have you ever suffered from a Barge Coma? YES
