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.

[mightthinkthat]

I suspect I am, if only for the lack of a warden item. I keep it around me, so someone would have to break in and there's no evidence of that.

[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]

Oh yeah, I haven't left my room yet, so...

[ Yeah nope her item is def not in her nightstand. ]

Well damn. Guess it'll be a few days before I can go for a swim.

[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?

[mightthinkthat]

I'll have to beg off someone else if I'm going to give little Sookie a walk. [He expects and gets the little black retriever's attention and she nuzzles her way on screen.]

[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!

[halftheman]

Still here, birdie.

[ichoosefight]

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

[ichoosefight]

Hey Chromie! Are you time warped too?

[ichoosefight]

[ She laughs at the memory. ] Oh God, don't remind me. My life is weird enough without.

Yeah, it's looking that way. I haven't even graduated yet, it seems like.

[ichoosefight]

Yuck. No that it'll take long, but talk about the most annoying part of being an inmate.

[strangehistorian]

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

[ichoosefight]

You'd think with how often floods like this happen I'd be more used to it. But man, going back to not having a warden item just feels wrong.

[mightthinkthat]

Well, you can always practice pickpocketing?

[ichoosefight]

Sure, because that never ends in tears.

[strangehistorian]

What is the last you remember from your native time?

[ichoosefight]

I made chocolate chip waffles to celebrate Harvey graduating yesterday.

[mightthinkthat]

[He chuckles in response.]

[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.

[strangehistorian]

Interesting. I would be careful about what details you reveal about how that came about, if I were you! Knowledge of the future may cause a paradox.
