Well, it looks like the Admiral dropped me here right at a good time. At least I didn't end up looking like Crane again.

How the fuck long have I been gone?

Hey, Parker.

Been a couple weeks, I think.

Voice

[yourunichase]

Hey Green.

Sounds like this thing got you?

Voice

[gotgreenmagic]

You think? Yeah, it's just as irritating and pointless as last time.

How're you feeling?

Voice

[yourunichase]

The normal sort of headache when one comes back to the Barge.

And the normal need to drink and smoke and question my sanity for the decisions I make.

[Audio]

[most_feared]

Little while.

How you feeling?

[Yes, that is a lady Kay accent.]

[Audio]

[yourunichase]

Like I need someone to smack me for making questionable choices.

Let me guess: flood bit you, Kay?

Re: [Audio]

[most_feared]

Yeah. Still tall enough for the suit at least.

Questionable choices?

[Audio]

[yourunichase]

Coming back here.

[scarlet_discord]

Parker! Hey! It's been a while. It's early March now.

[yourunichase]

Jesus, how time flies when you're not having fun.

How you doing, Wanda?

[scarlet_discord]

I'm doing pretty good, actually. I made it through last Port with help from my Warden and have been given a lot of food for thought.

[yourunichase]

That's good. It sounds like it was a shit one.

[timesbureaucrat]

Welcome back.

Things are a little confusing here right now. [It's like half the Barge regenerated at the same time. He has trouble recognizing people in the hallways or messhall. All his mental files on the Barge residents have incorrect visual references now.)]

[yourunichase]

Thanks.

I can imagine. How long this been going on for?

[timesbureaucrat]

A bit less than two days now. I imagine we'll be back to normal--well, as normal as the Barge ever is--in another day or so.

[yourunichase]

Glad I ended up here in time to at least see some of it.

Tell me, are people acting in the same idiotic manner as normal?

[wecanavenge]

Oh. You're back.

[NO QUESTION WHO THIS IS, AMIRITE. But Erik's acting like nothing's out of the ordinary. AS far as he's concerned, he's always been Erika.]

[yourunichase]

Erik.

[Face palm, facepalm, facepalm.]

Been keeping out of trouble?

[wecanavenge]

Is that the kind of insult you're reduced to, now? I'm terribly hurt. [Better watch that the sarcasm doesn't drip on the carpet.]

[alwaysanacrobat]

A couple weeks. Welcome back, Parker.

[yourunichase]

Thanks. How are you?

[Parker is going to stare and try to figure out who this is without asking. Let's see how long it takes.]

[alwaysanacrobat]

Not bad. You missed out on a hell of a port, from what I heard. Tam and I ended up sitting out because someone brought space bronchitis on board, god knows how.

[This is a fun game. c:]

[darknessb4me]

Went home?

[yourunichase]

Yep. Got yanked.

[darknessb4me]

Glad you're back.
