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.

It's becoming par for the course here, anyway, so I'll have to get used to it.

...on further thought about this whole thing, I think I'd rather remain a glitch here, because I don't think I can deal with the idea of meeting my dad as a woman.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Ohmygod, don't even pretend that something like that could actually happen.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

You're the one that brought up alternate reality girl versions.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Dude, the worst I was thinking of was a girl version of my ex. You turned the awful up to eleven.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't have any of those available, so I just had to latch onto the closest male relationship I have. Sorry for the horrific mental image, I guess.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

There's not much chance of my dad ever showing up, but the thought of it happening to anyone is bad enough.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Not unless the Queen's got some kind of resurrection machine, anyway.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Maybe she could get someone from a different time?

I mean, I haven't seen... Marie Antoinette, or anything, but...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

... ugh, good point. You think if I ask nicely she'll go ahead and never do that?

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I think you'd have to, I don't know, threaten to become a hermit and vow to be the enemy of romance forever if she does it. That seems to be her thing here.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

So I have to threaten to stop kissing girls? Fiiiine by me.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I think more like, break up everyone ever and... uh... like tear up valentines? Maybe kidnap someone's girlfriend? Twirl your moustache? Sort of like the Grinch, only with love instead of Christmas.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I'll grind garlic into the food supply. That'll put people off kissing.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

I'd be all about that. Garlic's tasty.

You could spray paint all the roses black.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

She might take my head for that.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

...oh man, I didn't even think about that... But yeah, sounds about right.

There's not a croquet... um, field here, is there?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Nooope, but I think we should put a ban on anyone creating one.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Let's not give anyone any ideas.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

No kidding. We don't need to make things any worse for ourselves.

[OOP]

[Hey d'you mind just wrapping it there? I got nothin'. :/]
