Could I possibly get a reality check over here?

So Cute-Perky-and-Russian has gotten her crazy face on. Big freaking deal. Nobody's actually died, right?  I was wrong, apparently somebody did. I'd say my face was red, but, y'know.

Best case scenario, we all get a few bruises, tomorrow or next week or whenever she realizes what a total drama queen she's being and cools off. Normal service resumes. Worst case scenario, a few other people have to take a week off work for whatever reason. It sucks, then you get over it, then in a month there's some other disaster and nobody cares that this ever happened.

Other worst case scenario, the Barge crash-lands. Yeah, like we've never seen that before. Last time that happened it set back our schedule by, what, a week? Less? Like we're even in a hurry to get anywhere.

Also, you guys do know that the Admiral caps off powers that could accidentally wreck the Barge, right? Including Wardens? [She's mostly thinking about Bruce Banner here.] We're never gonna end up....I dunno, floating through interdimensional space, clinging to whatever scorched furniture we can keep hold of. We have way better insurance against Acts Of Blonde than Moscow.

Nothing unique or special is happening here. Just try to avoid sharp edges for the next few days and it'll blow over. Eesh.

Well, yeah, I'd rather we didn't have a Warden throwing a superpowered temper tantrum at all. Just saying, even if this was the Titanic and she was the iceberg, we'd have enough lifeboats to go around.

Yeah. There's really no reason to panic. Ultimately, most crises on the Barge boil down to temporary inconvenience.

No kidding.

You ever get that coffee?

[requiresssacrifice]

I found some in the infirmary. Just in time to fuel my second... third... fourth wind.

[Said SLIGHTLY BITTERLY because Iago's totally the worst ever and should've brought him some espresso or something BAWWW]

So has this been 'tiny, straightforward stupid things happening to a bunch of people' or 'huge, complicated stupid things happening to a few people'?

[requiresssacrifice]

A mixture of both. People who aren't in one camp tend to be in the other.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

And which one are you in, Doc?

[VAGUEST EXPRESSION OF CONCERN EVER.]

[requiresssacrifice]

The former. I assume you are, too?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Although now I've broken all my nails, it might start going after toes or ribs or something.

[requiresssacrifice]

Well, if that happens, we still have a few open beds left.
