81,18 - Counting losses

[ichoosefight]

Kon - Superboy has disappeared. And Dean is in a coma. In case anyone was wondering where they were. "Not here" and "in the infirmary".

[scentbombed]

Oh dear, really? [She is... not sure how she feels about that, actually. The Dean part, anyway.] Thanks for the update.

[ichoosefight]

Sure, no problem. I'm sure Dean will wake up before too long.

[buildindreemz]

Thanks for the info.

Hopefully Dean won't be out for too long.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, here's hoping. [ She's not really worried about Dean, to be blunt. ]

[maxwells_demon]

A coma? And where'd Kon get off too?

[ichoosefight]

Did nobody tell you about those? Sometimes people will just fall asleep and just not wake up for weeks. We call it a barge coma.

I don't know. Home I guess.

[maxwells_demon]

Nobody, nope. I think I gleaned something from the network but-- been kinda busy lately being spoiled and dealing with Ladd.

I thought inmates couldn't... ya know. Leave. Not like that.

[He looks down a minute, away from his comm. Hnn.]

Steph. Icecream. I need it. You need it. Let's go?

[ichoosefight]

They can't. Not by choice, anyway.

[ She takes a deep breath and lets it out. ]

Yeah. Let's.

[deadliestviper]

Shit.

Well, thanks for letting us know.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, of course. Kon would have, but... you know.

[deadliestviper]

To the best of your knowledge, is he coming back?

[ichoosefight]

I don't know. If he's still on Dean's warden item, then yeah, but...

Well, things happen. Sometimes people don't come back.

[Barbara wouldn't generally allow concern to dominate her features, but considering the persona she's attempting to cultivate...she lets the worry show.] Disappeared? Is this common?

[It surprises her, how sincere it is.]

[ichoosefight]

Yup. Happens all the freaking time.

[ladyofgotham]

What happens to them?

[ichoosefight]

They go home, I think. Whatever that means for them. But they don't remember, while they're gone. At least, that's how it went for me.

[sharpememory]

A barge coma or the more violent kind?

[ichoosefight]

Barge coma. Kon brought him in yesterday, it looks like he just sort of passed out.

[sharpememory]

Ah, crap. So we don't know how long it'll be until he's back.

[ichoosefight]

Not a clue. But at least we'll know if he decides to never wake up.

[unweeping_willow]

...Claudia too.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, I heard. I guess it's just one of those weeks, huh.

[unweeping_willow]

[No response for a moment; not quite looking at Steph. She isn't taking this well.]

...Hurts.

[Private] LATE COMMENT IS LATE

[Private] ES IST KEIN PROBLEM
