Hey Barge.

What's Spider-Man's favorite month?
Web-uary.

[A dry, humorless laugh, and the sound of a page turning]

What does Barbara wear to bed?
Her Dark Knight gown.

Why do all the chicks go for Magneto?
He's attractive.

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

[ooc: Chris is still emotion-worked! For more information, see here and here]

[Something is...definitely off here.]

You all right?

I'm fine, man. What's up?

[He pauses.]

Just checking, I guess. I don't know, you sound kind of...not like your usual self?

How do you figure?

It's hard to explain. Just -- a gut feeling, I guess?

That doesn't really give me much to go on, dude.

Okay it's just -- you don't seem as...exuberant as usual. Did everything go okay when you guys went to Cassel's world?

Everything went fine. Or all right. There wasn't a disaster or a blow-up or anything.

Maybe I'm just growing up. Maturing.

Yeah. Maybe.

You don't sound convinced, bud.

Yeah, I'm not. It's just -- I've learned to trust my instincts, I guess.

And your instincts are telling you that something's fucked?

Are you like one of those dogs who can smell cancer before it's detected?

Basically.

I wouldn't go that far, but I have a knack for figuring stuff out. [And sometimes a knack for getting into trouble when he figures stuff out that he probably shouldn't. He smirks just a bit though.] Nice touch with the dog joke, though.
