Okay. The Queen's latest mess has been cleaned up. Nobody's dead. Some of us have medals. [ Not that Batgirl got a medal, despite nearly being eaten by half a dozen vampire plants. Vampants? Planpires? Lame. This is why they should've been Frankenplants. ] That's fantastic. Seriously, thanks to everyone who helped out through healing, fighting, and defence strategies. It's great to know that if we never need to stage an emergency barbecue, apparently, we have the fire power to pull it off.

Of course, now that we're in the calm-after-the-last-storm-but-before-the-next-one-that's-gonna-suck-even-more, there's not much to do but sit and reflect. Y'know, on how we're trapped in another world, and everyone back home either thinks we're dead or missing or worse. I mean, me being here just proves everyone right about me – that I can't see anything through, blah blah, failure – and I've even let Babs down.

Not that I'm looking for free therapy or anything. I just want everyone to know that I hate the downtime as much as the almost-eaten-by-Eldritch-horrors time.

"In memoriam"... Perhaps reflection is in order.

That said, I think you might be looking for free therapy, chèrie.

Shhhh. Like all American teenagers, I have absolutely no issues weighing me down, and definitely won't turn to alcohol to deal with things.

[sororite]

I hope you won't! Wine is to be savoured, not wasted. Also, it can lead to rather embarrassing instances...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm not sure I even like the taste of wine all that much. I doubt I could get drunk on it, even with that shiny new bar someone just created.

How long have you been here already?

Voice

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Let's see.

I turned up a few weeks before Christmas, and it's now a week and a bit after Valentine's, so it's been approximately way too long.

Voice

[buttkicking.livejournal.com]

That long? And nobody's found a way out yet?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Oh, now don't be like that. You couldn't have possibly prevented this.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Not unless I'd developed a flair for arson and a hatred for pretty pink flowers.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Who wants to be like that?

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Who knows how all this world-jumping works. We ever do go back, might be right where we left off.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever been that lucky. I have a higher chance of returning to an almost identical universe, with the only change being that everyone's a zombie. Or something.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Sounds fun.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Okay wow I was kind of trying not to think about that...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh. Er.

Oops?

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Although frankly, I'll take unexciting kidnapped-for-someone's-terrible-singles-cruise time over kidnapped-for-someone's-terrible-singles-cruise-plus-things-want-to-kill-us time.

By the way, technically I don't think the whole kidnapping thing can count as a black mark specifically against you, failure wise, barring someone who's really passive-aggressive or something. Not unless you had some way of being aware of it and fighting back.

[mnementomori]

Nobody's dead? That good. [very relieved here.]

I wonder...if the Queen would let you send a message home?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Yup. And everyone who was hurt has been patched up by now.

I doubt it. Just catching her on the Vine is hard enough, and I can't see her letting me send a letter back any time soon. She's got more important things to tend to, like being crazy.

[mnementomori]

Crazy? You really think she is?

I prefer downtime. Not that I mind a bit of action every now and again, but I do enjoy being able to sleep in.

I am glad to hear no one was killed in the attacks.

[Voice]

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh, sleep. I was starting to forget that existed.

Thanks for the reminder.

[Voice]

[rosa-di-fortuna.livejournal.com]

If I had access to my nighttime tea blend, I would offer some to you.

We all deserve a good night's rest.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Guess this'd be a bit much to convince everyone of when you get home, huh?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Actually, they'd all believe me. They'd just decide that it was typical of me, or something.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

...huh.

What a life.
