[What is immediately seen is a muscular but still somewhat overweight man with long hair staring at the screen looking SO EXCITE you guyz]

I kinda expected to see my old bunk back at the Monarch's place when I got here, but this is much nicer, Admiral. Kudos to you! [Thumbs up!]

I cannot believe I'm back. Seriously -- I am so, so fucking stoked. You guys have no idea. I mean, I haven't thought much of this place in the six months I've been gone, because I kinda forgot about it over time, but even 24 wouldn't believe me when I told him about it. Imagine a figment of my imagination telling me the rest of you were exactly that. It was totally insane.

The best part? [points at chest with thumb] I'm a Warden now! No graduation necessary; I did the graduating back home!

[Thought occurs to him.]

Oh right. Hi other newbies! Call me 21 for now. I haven't really settled on a new code name yet, but I'm tossing around 'The Viceroy'. I dunno, might be too gimmicky. [And he slingshots to the next subject] So is Snape still here?

I asked the Admiral to give me a copy of my updated file so he could see my progress. No more henching, not for the bad guys anyway! I was still kinda messed up about some things in my life even after I left here, but I got it all in order on my own -- even if this place totally helped. I'm in the best shape of my life, I've got real friends, and before I start probably the most epic job ever, I'm gonna see if I can't balance out my karma a bit more here with you guys!

[And that's where all the excitement tapers out of his expression, almost like he was just getting it out of the way, and now he's all seriousness]

...So uh...why's the main deck look like a survival horror game? Are we in Silent Hill?

(ooc: So 21 has no idea how inappropriate it is to come in here all excited when there's people vanishing and creepy shit happening. FEEL FREE TO CALL HIM ON IT. He may actually have some good ideas on what to do.)

It's nothing personal. I know what it is, but I don't have any very special reasons for knowing why, and the way this conversation is going I just don't want to be at best too confusing and at worst completely ruin your day.

[A raspy chuckle.]

I'm in for being Dracula, actually. Apparently, the powers that be decided that I had enough potential for this...place.

Yeah, so good I don't feel the urge to improve it just yet.

Ah. [Seven apparently thinks it's weak and it's probably audible in her tone.]

Doubtful. Seven of Nine.

Code name? Are you a spy?
toldastory: (orly)

[personal profile] toldastory 2011-10-08 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes he can.
subtlescience: (Bitter)

[personal profile] subtlescience 2011-10-08 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
'Welcome back' seems appropriate. Anything else I might have said would be far too reprehensible to truly suit the moment.

I hope you don't expect a warm embrace. I could have been shot of thi-

Welcome back.
subtlescience: (Caustic)

[personal profile] subtlescience 2011-10-08 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Will you lot allow me to break the news myself for once! I have a new inmate, as well, but I don't suppose that would be the first thing you would broach in conversation, you meddlesome little

Inexplicably. I wasn't aware an explanation was due.

He's not trying to be offensive; he has no idea how long he's been gone.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No he can't! That's like Screech disappearing mid-season and returning married to Inara Serra; it breaks laws of physics!

I haven't been home a full year! When did this even happen?

What, really?

[And then he just stares for several minutes]

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nooot really. Maybe soon after I leave this place again. Not really too sure on that.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. [He rubs the back of his head] So uh...

Married.
subtlescience: (This is a waste of my time.)

[personal profile] subtlescience 2011-10-08 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
'Inexplicably' so.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll say. [blink] I mean, uh...

Congratulations are in order, I guess? It's got to have been very recent, right?

You've been gone for much longer than that. We've been married for almost a year in our personal timelines, and in Barge time, we've been been a couple since last November. We took a six month leave.

[identity profile] not-annika.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eyebrow raise.] Are you trapped in a feedback loop?

This is like the second time he's had this reaction.

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
What, really?

[identity profile] twoton21.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head to clear it.] No, uh... More like a temporary overload.
toldastory: (also saves planets)

[personal profile] toldastory 2011-10-08 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, really.
subtlescience: (It's all a matter of perspective)

[personal profile] subtlescience 2011-10-08 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
In a sense. May of this year - by Barge standards we've been married for five months. However, we left for six months, though only a week passed here.

Eleven total, then.

Congratulations on the restoration of your moral compass.
subtlescience: (Cuffs)

[personal profile] subtlescience 2011-10-08 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
October.

[personal profile] toldastory 2011-10-08 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
November.

[identity profile] not-annika.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It appears to have cleared.

[identity profile] feels-no-love.livejournal.com 2011-10-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is I. I have been here since the spring. It is...interesting.
