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.

If 24 were here he'd be pointing out how gay he sounds.

Hey, shut up! I might be a little heavier than most, but at least I don't look like Sting's homeless janitor.

Who dyed your hair anyway? Tracy Turnblatt?

In the place of awkward owls, you get this:

That's really not any better. My point still stands.

Since I conquered your backwards little planet, I can dress however I'd like.

Hmmm, what about when you tried to convince everybody I was confused and-- what was that...? CRAZY-- to avoid any consequences? Another moment of weakness? My, you get those a lot...

You shouldn't be allowed around patients any more than I should.

He's already forgetting his new rule.

And then you wound up here.

The Master brings that out in people

This isn't a permanent arrangement.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not.

But y'know you can't measure your successful world domination schemes if they're capped with gargantuan failures, right?

I didn't fail! Your planet was only one of thousands.

Dude, you were defeated by the power of love and caring. Do you really want to debate this?

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You too.

Has someone else done Floods, Ports & Other Barge Hellishness 101? Because it is not stuff you wanna learn by doing.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Floods, yes. Everything else, no.

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. The Barge stops sometimes - every couple months or so, I guess. Mileage varies. Last time, we stopped in New York just before Christmas and it was all totally, disarmingly normal. The time before that we hit a deserted island where pretty much anything you ate, drank or touched either screwed you up or made you sick.

People disappear sometimes. Wardens and Inmates. When they come back - if they come back - they may or may not remember ever having been here before.

If you get killed, again, it doesn't stick. Your Warden has to put in a request to the Admiral - which is just so wrong - but you get revived at the cost of being bedridden for a few days and sick for about a week.

Most of the Inmates and some of the Wardens are suffering from varying degrees of 'total whackjob crazy' but you could work that out for yourself.

There's probably other stuff. It's been a quiet couple weeks.

No, I wasn't! Who told you that?

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah -- I know some of the people here don't have their stuff together. But it's still really cool that they're here

So you said the last stop was around Christmas. Can you tell me about how long ago that was?

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh right

A little bird.

[identity profile] soundof-drums.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Which little bird?

This is probably one of the least intelligent things he's ever done.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't recall.

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. That was last month. According to the totally arbitrary Barge calendar it's January 30th right now. Saturday.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn.

That means I missed the release of Mass Effect 2

So there's likely to be another one anytime, right?

[identity profile] soundof-drums.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You want to be difficult? Okay, then. I'll be seeing you.

[identity profile] lotoftrouble.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Loki, god of mischief. I presume you've heard of me?

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, who hasn't?
