Well, that easily made my top five 'dumbest floods ever' and I've been here nearly two years.

If you're new, woo hoo. Either you're dead and you're stuck here, or you're alive and you've just made a really stupid decision. Welcome to the Barge.

[Private to Kirk]

In the spirit of your stupid honesty rule, I punched Mozenrath and in the circumstances, I'm not sorry - I was affected, anyway, so it wasn't really me. On a directly relevant note, do you have any particularly strong future space liquor?

[Private to Mozenrath]

I hope I didn't actually fracture anything, but I'm not apologizing. Let's just draw a curtain over the last couple days and get on with our lives.

[Private to Tim]

If anybody besides Kirk asks, I wasn't affected.

[Thank you for that Tim. She sits down on the edge of the bed, leaning back on her hands.]

Why what?

[He shoves his hands in his pockets once they're free.] Why did you date her? [He's assuming they dated and it wasn't just a sex thing because...it's Shego. But pause.] It wasn't a flood, right?

Re: [Spam]

[Sorry Tim, it was pretty much just a sex thing. And also the reason why she doesn't do sex things any more.]

No. It was...I don't know, weird. She wasn't like anybody I knew back home, and I guess I kind of had a crush? And it just went from there. I'd only arrived on the Barge a couple months before, I hadn't worked out how to deal with this place yet...I don't think I would've seen her more than a couple times, but then things went crazy. This was a couple Halloweens ago. There was a demon loose on the Barge or something, and everything was nuts. Like, waaaayy more than usual. I didn't really have any good friends at the time besides McCoy and he had his own crap to deal with, I basically hated Kirk at the time....I didn't need somebody to sleep with, I just needed someone to have my back. [She frowns, playing with her hair absentmindedly.] But that was the way me and her were going just then, so...it went.

[This all rather dishonestly implies the opposite of actual events - those being that they slept together first and considered dating later - but frankly she likes this version better.]

[Tim moved to sit next her, pulling a hand out of his pocket to run through his hair before leaning forward on his knees.] How long? [He didn't mean to ask, because he wasn't sure he really cared, but there it was.] ...And what happened? [That part, that he kind of wanted to know.]

Re: [Spam]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Three weeks. [She frowns.] What do you mean, what happened? Lots of stuff happened. Are you asking me how it ended?

Re: [Spam]

[peektuttut]

[Oh God face.] I mean how it ended, yeah. [He's pretty sure he doesn't want to know any other details.]

Re: [Spam]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I dumped her. [She shrugs.] The Halloween mess was over, and she was still just....crazy, and she hated most everyone I considered friends at the time. There was nothing that made it worth the drama.

[Tim just nods. Because that is very logical. He leans back on his hands.] Would it suck to say I'm glad it didn't work out?

[Shego laughs under her breath.] No, you're totally allowed to say that.

[She shifts her weight on her hands so she can lean over and kiss him.]

[Spam]

[peektuttut]

Good. [He reaches for her waist again, tugging her closer so he can lean up into the kiss.]

Re: [Spam]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[Yes, this is better. No lingering false memories of Kim - or actual memories of crazy, bitey half-vampires. She winds her arms around him and pulls him down onto the bed, even if it's kind of awkward with their legs still hanging off the end.]

Re: [Spam]

[peektuttut]

[It's not like awkward isn't a dear old friend at this point. Physical awkward is just the distant cousin who occasionally misses their meetings. Is that metaphor awkward enough. :| Tim votes for flopping back on her bed so he can get both arms around her. This will win after just about every flood.]
