[Shego's looking as neat and cheery as ever - but there's a folded Kleenex sticking out of her shirt pocket and even while she's smiling her eyes are red-rimmed and sad.]

Hi, everybody! I thought it'd be a good idea to let everyone know that Regina's in one of those darned comas again. Honestly, I don't know how the Admiral expects her to get out of here if she can't even stay awake five minutes! Anyway, I've taken her to the Infirmary so she'll be looked after 'til it's over, and I'm going to visit her as much as I can, so don't any of her friends worry.

Otherwise, I...guess I'm going to try and be around a little bit more over the next few days. You all know Cissie left, and...she was like a little sister to me. I never had a little sister before, and I couldn't ask for a better one - I'm just so happy for her. She helped Isaac graduate and she's got her life together and she's got a plan and that's great. I know she's gonna do great things.

[Her smile fades a little.]  But I'm still gonna miss her a lot. I'm pretty down right now. But! it never helped anybody to just sit around sulking and let it fester, right? So I'll be around. If anybody needs any extra training in the gym or wants to go hiking in the CES or - you know, anything. I'm here.

[OOC: Obviously, Shego is affected! Long-termers will remember that she used to be unfriendly and asocial - but never sarcastic and embittered - but over time, making friends and coming out of her shell, she learnt the ~power of friendship~ and subsequently graduated. She's now a sweet, sincere person who will nonetheless kick your ass with a smile if you're disturbing the peace.]

[This is the weirdest flood.]

Do you want to go hiking?

[likeabigsister]

Sure do! Are you volunteering to come with?

[batmanschmatman]

If you want. Are you sure you're feeling okay?

[likeabigsister]

[Aaand she assumes you mean Cissie.]

Ohh, I'll be fine. You know me, Dick! I always bounce back. Can I meet you in a couple hours?

[batmanschmatman]

[Well. It could be both but he mostly means what's with the crying and stuff. :|]

Sure. I'll be waiting, I guess.

[captain_jtkirk]

Do you need a hug?

[likeabigsister]

From you?

Always, honey. You know that.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'll be over in a second. [And he is going to compulsively straighten that tissue omg it's bugging him so much :c]

She knew it was going to be more than a second because Kirk had to make sure everything in his cabin was at right angles before he left; she was a naturally tidy person herself but she couldn't hold a candle to his level of organization. It was cute, but sometimes she wished he could be a little more spontaneous. You don't have to look before you leap every time.

Still, she straightened her cabin a little and she was at the door with a smile on her face by the time he came over.

Not only just look, but analyze and look again about seven more times.

Jim gave her a smile back and slid an arm around her shoulder, using his other hand to tuck that tissue in first before completely the hug. "I'm going to miss her a lot too."

[an_abomination]

If you're so happy for her, then why are you crying? [Sounds genuinely curious.]

[likeabigsister]

You can be happy and sad at the same time, silly. Haven't you ever felt like that?

[an_abomination]

[Shakes his head.] It's been one or the other, combining the two sounds like a headache.

[darknessb4me]

You can go visit her too, right?

oh man that icon

[likeabigsister]

Well, sure I can! And I definitely will when Regina's finished here.

i have been waiting to use this icon FOREVER

[darknessb4me]

Yeah. Okay.

[likeabigsister]

Everything okay, Arthas?

[strangehistorian]

I'm formally requesting being able to analyze your inmate. We're studying the comas.

[likeabigsister]

Errrm...

That sounds like it'd be super helpful, Chromie? But I don't know that I'd be comfortable with that. On her behalf, I mean.

Oh! I can ask for her permission after she wakes up. That way, if it happens again I'll know whether or not she's okay with it.

[strangehistorian]

That's counterproductive.

[likeabigsister]

I don't think it's very counterproductive for my inmate to trust me!

[peektuttut]

I'm bummed, too. Hey, you want to grab some ice cream and watch a movie or something? I bet it'll make us feel better.

[likeabigsister]

Sounds like fun, Tim! How about you pick the movie and I'll pick the ice cream? You've got much better taste in film than I do.

[peektuttut]

Hitch not withstanding. Sure, want to come here? I've got a pretty sweet entertainment set up, and all.

[likeabigsister]

I liked Hitch! It was sweet.

[Real Shego is somehow going to shank you someday, Flood Shego.]

I'll come over. Let me go ask someone to let me into the kitchen.
