08 - Forwards, backwards, or sideways?

[ichoosefight]

Okay, obviously I'm confused by this flood.

[ Anyone familiar with the older Steph may notice that this one looks about that age. She also has a certain look of certainty despite her confusion, a confidence and comfort she hasn't had since her arrival on the barge. ]

Who's around and who's not? Can I get a roll call?

[mightthinkthat]

Well, I'm here.

[ichoosefight]

Hi Francis. How you holding up these days?

[mightthinkthat]

'Keeping calm and carrying on' as the souvenir mug says. Yourself?

[ichoosefight]

Trying to figure out if I'm affected by this flood or not. The age old story.

[routemistress]

[Iris is in her Blue Butterfly costume which may or may not be after this Steph's time.]

Babs and me are 'ere. But I think we might be affected, 'cause 'alf the stuff I ad going in the lab's missing. And me baby chickens are back.

[ichoosefight]

You mean the raptor chickens? [ She remembers the raptor chickens. ]

I don't have my item, so I guess I'm in the same boat. You guys remember helping me out in Gotham, right? We're not that far out of synch, are we?

[routemistress]

[She grins widely.]

Aye, they're back in their tank, not even 'atched yet. Remember 'ow the big cockerel got with Babs' cat? No, you and us are roughly in sync, but I think we are affected. The lab and classrooms aren't 'ow they were.

[strangehistorian]

Ah! Hello, Stephanie! It's good to see this version of you again!

[ichoosefight]

Hey Chromie! Are you time warped too?

[strangehistorian]

I am not! I am more accustomed to adapting to anomalous timelines than perhaps some of you are, though!

[halftheman]

Still here, birdie.

[ichoosefight]

Harvey? Holy crap, what are you doing still here?

[halftheman]

Cooling my heels in the space clink, what else would I be doing?

[bodilesswarrior]

[Wow.

Don't mind the staring, Steph, it's just you're about thirty years younger than she's used to.]

Commissioner Gordon, reporting for duty.

[ichoosefight]

Commissioner? [ She's a little confused, but mostly psyched. ]

Dang Babs, when did that happen?

[bodilesswarrior]

Few years back. Proxy's running the Birds, for the most part. ...You met her yet? [This Stephanie, she knows, won't quite share a trajectory with hers, but maybe there will be points of similarity.]

[neverfeltbetter]

Testing. 1...2...3.

[ichoosefight]

I hear you loud and clear, John.

[neverfeltbetter]

Thank god. Everyone's gone bonkers around here.

[bybloodandhonor]

Alexandros Mograine, here in place of my friend Tirion. The ship does seem a bit more perplexing this time.

[ichoosefight]

Nice to meet you. I'm Stephanie Brown, I'm a warden here. Or I was, before whatever this flood is happened.

[bybloodandhonor]

It's nice to meet you as well. I assume floods aren't usually so randomly afflicting as this one?

[logistical]

[She seems... normal enough.]

I am present, Ms. Brown.

[ichoosefight]

Hiya Spock!

[ She's certainly pleased to see him - in all the time she's spent on the barge he's become something a lot like a friend. ]

How's it going?

[logistical]

I am unchanged. What of yourself?
