[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.]

Oh, Arthas, don't say that! You went through so much more than most people before you came here, that's all.

I miss everyone that goes - I didn't even talk to Cissie, it's just. Really sad. Everyone's leaving.

Private

[likeabigsister]

I know.

But new people are always coming on board too! It's not so bad.

Private

[darknessb4me]

They'll leave too.

Private

[likeabigsister]

You won't be here forever, Arthas. You know that, right?

Private

[darknessb4me]

I'm not going to graduate like you did, Shego. You're so good with people.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Oh, sweetie, that's something I learned while I was here. There was a long time when I wouldn't say two words to anybody I didn't have to, remember? I was just awful with people.

But the Barge can't make you anything new, it can only bring out what you could be. I couldn't be anything.

Private

[likeabigsister]

Arthas! You can be anything you want. You just have to believe in yourself. I believe in you.

Thank you, that means a lot...
