So I know I overreacted the night before. I was a little pissed off and everything, but then I guess dying probably kinda does that for some people. Anyway, does that floating disembodied voice guy always leave right in the middle of a conversation? What a douche.

Anyway -- thanks to everybody that tried to be helpful. But seeing as how this room is pretty much my room exactly (which is kind of creepy, by the way -- nobody but me should know some of the minute details), there's really not much settling in I have to do. And while I don't really think I'm up for all this "redemption" stuff, I haven't got much better to do while I'm here besides at least have a look, right?

So...sorry for freaking out at some of you. You'll see me around.

Call me 21.

[Private]

Having read through the journals and taken a peek around, I've come to settle on three possible explanations for my current predicament:

1. Monstroso has secretly developed hallucination-inducing powers...maybe kind of like those demons in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Only I don't know why I'd be dreaming of this and -- I don't know, what my life would have been like if I stayed home through my teen years.
2. In the ensuing and EPIC battle between Monstroso, Brock Samson, and myself, I sustained massive head trauma and am now lying in a coma somewhere -- perhaps in a hospital, perhaps back at the cocoon, or perhaps even in some secret guild lab under Monstroso's office building. This would explain why there is at least one familiar place, my room. Therefore, all the people here that I seem to be recognizing from television and comics are clearly just figments of my imagination, my collective pop culture knowledge rising up as one to shield me from the worst damages to my brain. ...And how fucking cool is that? (I think there was a TV show like that a while back -- didn't last long. It was probably crappy. I dunno.)
3. Everything these people have told me about this place is true. I'm dead. And apparently in some strange nexus where anything and anyone I've ever fantasized as real really is real.

The first two options would definitely explain why I can't contact 24 anymore -- and it confirms he really was haunting me either way. If he were in my head, and all this were in my head, he'd be here now.

The third I'm still not so sure of. But just in case it is true, I need to be careful how I talk to some people. After all, if I say the wrong thing to one of them and they go home, how horribly am I going to mess up their time line?

I could unmake fandom as I know it.

Uncle Ben was right. Great power? Great responsibility.

None taken--it's just the most neutral way to phrase it. Otherwise I risk new Inmates getting angry for 'acting like I know them'.

I'm a shrink. I know it's more complicated than that.

He's got a big of deja vu and little else.

Ohh, so you're sort of like ship's counselor or something, right? Like Deanna Troi.

So just what is it that you're trying to compare me to?

Like the talking bird or

So what are you in for?

Yeah, basically. I'm the only psychologist on board, so it's ended up that way.

I don't think there's a Patrician where I come from. Not anybody officially called that.

Maybe on one of the other rosters, but it doesn't sound like a Guild member.

And I'm a licensed Henchman.

As far as I'm aware, only Ankh-Morpork has one. I don't know about the Roundworld.

Good, good to know you're licenced.

He appreciates that XD

...

Okay, not that I don't see the huge and obvious upsides to this system, but does it not kinda take the edge off of being a villain if it's basically legal?

OHMIGOD You're a Discworld chara

Well yeah. Couldn't work if I wasn't.

That's why the Monarch's different. He's in for the insurance and dental, but he's been arching his enemy since college. He genuinely hates and isn't just assigned to hate somebody.

I feel you on that.

Clearly not, it'd be illegal. Do you have guilds for other things in your world? Theives, Assassins, Alchemists?

That's hot

Uh, cool. So I bet you get a lot of work then, right?

You've still got those things, but I dunno if they've got guilds.

...It'd be much more ordered if they did, I'm sure.

I suppose, but I enjoy the work. It only gets hard to handle when a bad flood ends--suddenly the stigma attached therapy seems to matter less, and my schedule ends up packed for a few days.

I don't even know if there's enough of 'em to put them in order.

Huh. That whole arrangement just sounds...weird, but good on your guy for keeping it real. I guess.

I'm Shego, by the way.

Flood? Are there leaks in this boat or something?

Surely every world has its share of theives, at least? The Assasins and Alchemists, I'll grant you, might be slightly more native to my city, but still.

That's just what we call the breaks in reality that happen every so often. Sometimes we get a fun one, like turning into children or 80s high school movie archetypes. Not all of them are, though. Sometimes people are injured or killed; sometimes people go crazy.

We don't have any control over it.

I just distrust people in uniforms who dabble in villainy.

Breaks in reality?

Sorry but I'm still kinda lost.
