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!]

Barbie? [Snorts, meanly.] Oh Chrissy, is that the best you can do?

[Still staring at the board she reaches over with one hand to run her fingers through his hair. Only she does it hard, on purpose, digging into his scalp.

Her aura's been dampened along with her powers but she's still got it switched on. It might be making his skin crawl a bit.]

[Chris visibly shudders, giving a yelp when it starts to hurt. He pushes her arm away, backing up]

Don't touch me.

[crossingyouout]

Or what? [Her expression has gone from teasing to ice-queen threatening, now.]

[mistconduct]

Or I'll kick your ass, Needy! God, can't a guy get some personal space on this fucking boat?

[crossingyouout]

I'd like to see you try. [Her eyes don't change but for a few seconds she growls at him, and it's a noise you wouldn't expect a human to be able to make.] You're even more pathetic than the other you. And I thought he was lame enough.

[And then she walks over to the board herself and then using her fingernails purposefully scratches a mustache onto the picture of Needy.]

[mistconduct]

[Oh shit, the fuck is happening. Chris is just. Nope. Out of here. He glares as she starts playing with his board]

Why don't you fuck off and go eat a muffin or something? Your blood sugar's way low.

[crossingyouout]

I'm feeling fine, right now. Which is probably good for you. Because if I wanted a snack...

[She makes a point of sniffing the air, animal-like, and then giving him a sharp and mean, smug look.]

I wouldn't settle just for carbs.

[mistconduct]

I swear, Needy, I will kick you in the ovaries. I'm not afraid of defending myself from girls.

[crossingyouout]

Kick me, I'll kick you back. Or do something worse. Because this girl sure isn't scared of you.

[She growls again, even as this time she smiles, all teeth. And her eyes shift to their demonic yellow, staring at him for a beat. Before she turns all dramatic and starts to flounce off, gait striding, hair bouncing.]

[mistconduct]

...The fuck just happened.
