Issue #62 - Video

[mistconduct]

[In the mess hall is Chris, who's somehow procured a gigantic poster board stretching a good twelve feet across.

On the board is pinned a photo of everyone on the Barge. Marker in hand, Chris begins going through the photos one by one - every time he gets to someone he knows is changed, he scribbles a black goatee on their face. Yes, even the women. Especially the women.

He pauses when he hits Tig Traeger.

And then takes out a small bottle of White-Out and begins to carefully erase his goatee]






[OOC: A thousand thank-yous to Fire for the amazing art!]

[Arthas is much quieter than he's been. His new armor doesn't clink together, the chainmail mostly being replaced with kevlar, and there's much less steel in the soles of his boots.

The big black cloak doesn't really lend itself to sneaking, though. He can't believe he's going to talk to D'Amico twice in one month, on purpose, but what the hell is this?

He spends a good 15 seconds trying to determine the pattern.]

...The beards are ones who are on the wrong side?

[mistconduct]

Hey, big guy. Got it in one.

Who'm I missing? I haven't talked to like half the ship yet.

[darknessb4me]

Sylvanas. Vergil. Brown. Why beards?

[mistconduct]

Beards are the universal symbol for evil.

Seriously, Sylvanas? Wow. You must be over the moon.

[darknessb4me]

[Arthas frowns.]

My father had a beard.

[Why do people keep saying that about Sylvanas anyway?]

Her mirror self is easier to get along with, actually.

[mistconduct]

It's more of a dark goatee thing. Like, Santa Claus has a beard but no way is he evil, either.


Considering how you guys flip out at each other, I'd think she'd have to be.

[darknessb4me]

We've reached an understanding.

[He briefly wonders where the hell this goatee idea came from but quickly settles on more logistical problems:]

If someone wants this suppressed they'll try to take this down. Is it the only copy?

[mistconduct]

Right now it is. But once I get everyone's picture up, I'll just take a shot of it on my phone and send it to everyone.

[darknessb4me]

[How do you shoot something with a telephone?

He decides it doesn't matter.]

Good.

[Arthas leans against the opposite wall, one hand casually on the pommel of his sword.]

Who's on this floor? Marsh, Zor-el, who else?

[mistconduct]

Me. Megamind. Bitey the vampire. A few others.

we can magic alternatime this with the mega thread idc

[darknessb4me]

And we don't know who's switched.

Need a guard?

fff legit

[mistconduct]

...really?

[darknessb4me]

Until you finish, not permanently.

The faster we make it public which ones are wrong, the faster we can fix it.

[mistconduct]

Wow. No, I'm just kind of shocked you're offering at all.

Okay, cool. Lemme just bang out a few more.

[darknessb4me]

It's a stupid method, but a good idea.

[Hm.]

You'll need a way to retroactively update it.

[mistconduct]

Well, thanks. I guess that's a compliment. I think.


Fuck. This would be so much easier if we had a Cloud set up on the Barge.

[darknessb4me]

[And he clearly doesn't mean the weather, so:]

What is that?

[mistconduct]

It's basically where there's this invisible cloud of data sitting over everyone's heads that's shared on everyone's phone. Means that you can't just erase something from one phone, you have to do it on everybody's.

[darknessb4me]

Not like the communicators, then.

[mistconduct]

Sort of.

But no, not really.
