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]

I'm never so lucky.

[He says this bleakly, and unthinking, but with surety. And he waves a hand, an absent gesture of dismissal - turns around and starts to walk away.

He's done here, he thinks. There's nothing left he can do. Except perhaps depress Chris even more than he already has.]

Chin up, Derek. We'll...

...power through this.

[Well that gets him to stop dead in his tracks. He shoots Chris a narrow look over his shoulder - one that says "just because you don't hear me groaning or see me rolling my eyes, doesn't mean I'm not expressing that sentiment anyway".

But all he says aloud, after a pause, is:]

Do us all a favor, Chris. And never change.

[Chris grins back, giving a thumbs-up]

Will do.

Or won't. Won't do.

Fuck it, you know what I mean.
