Sudden trolling for castmates for lastvoyages

[batmanschmatman]

Alright, I'll admit, I'm as homesick as anybody after being stuck there for this long, but I wouldn't wish coming to the Barge on anyone. Just because you think it would be fun to see Helena, Shego and Parker make some new "Birds of Prey" ish thing doesn't mean it's fair to try to get her on board.

I mean, obviously she can take care of herself, but it's the Barge. No one wants to be here. And yeah, she's a friend. Making a deal usually means something horrible happened back home, and you don't want friends to go through something they'd be willing to make a literal deal with the devil for.

You're crazy.

We're all a little crazy in here.

[She just can't resist using the old Cheshire line.]

[batmanschmatman]

I've been around long enough to know that.

[naltorian]

How are you doing Mr....Nightwing? Can I call you that? You're more buff in person.

[batmanschmatman]

Nightwing's fine. I guess I can't really complain, all things considered. How about you?

[naltorian]

I'm good. Nothing dangerous is happening with me. Kinda boring, actually.

[batmanschmatman]

You say that now. [Although let's be real down time is what kills him the most sometimes. :v]

[naltorian]

I say that now but later I may wish I were bored?

[batmanschmatman]

Some of the stuff that happens on the Barge, I wish I was bored more often. Or, you know, home, and dealing with stuff that doesn't involve wanting to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment once the effects wear off.

[naltorian]

Oh, c'mon. It can't be that bad...

[batmanschmatman]

The novelty's worn off a little bit.

[naltorian]

Then why not shift the gears into something more comfortable?

[batmanschmatman]

I've made some promises I don't want to back out of.

All joking aside, it really isn't that bad, sometimes. It's just not really a fun place to be unless you have to be there.

[naltorian]

Do you? Have to be there?

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. Most of us are, I think. It's kind of the hook the Admiral uses to make sure you don't get sick of it and wander off after the first bad flood.

[naltorian]

The Admiral must be an absolute gem.

[batmanschmatman]

Oh yeah, best guy I've ever worked for.

[naltorian]

Sarcasm aside, you want to punch him, don't you?

[batmanschmatman]

Would love to. I think everyone on board is just waiting for the chance to.

... Actually I'm pretty sure someone's deal includes getting one free punch in the face.

[naltorian]

Maybe you should trade deals.

[batmanschmatman]

Nah, I'm fine with the one I've got. And Parker's got a mean punch, I'm sure she'll do the job pretty nicely.

[naltorian]

What's your deal, if you don't mind the prying...

[batmanschmatman]

Do you know what happened to Bludhaven? I guess it happened like a million years ago for you, but I don't know what they've been teaching in schools, these days.

[naltorian]

Refresh my memory.

[batmanschmatman]

Most of the city was destroyed when a living nuclear bomb was dropped on it. The blast killed 100,068 people, injured thousands more and the city's uninhabitable. I agreed to work on the Barge to reverse the damage.

[naltorian]

That's...a pretty big prize.
