[Backdated to a few hours after the end of port. Shego stumbled back on board after four days of almost no sleep and not much food and was not braced for a serious business talk with the Admiral at all. When she talks she sounds exhausted and...not stunned exactly, but very '.....that was something I wasn't expecting to happen today'.]

So, uh.

Regina graduated?

You should probably go tell her well done because I sure as heck didn't contribute all that much.

[OOC: Any responses from anyone except Regina will get a reply 12-14 hours later because she needed to put on some band-aids and get some sleep. :c]

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm going to say congrats to you anyway.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Suspected you might.

...Thanks.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

How's it feel graduating your first one?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Like I've just spent four days having a bunch of pathologically territorial nutcases shoot at me.

...I don't know. Ask me again next week.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

That exciting, huh.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

It's been a rough week, sue me.

You okay?

[fuglyslut]

What?

[gotgreenmagic]

You've graduated. The Admiral will be in touch pretty much any minute to ask what you wanna do next.

...

Congratulations.

[fuglyslut]

I'm sorry, what?

[She has done this routine before, and she holds up a hand to forestall any snark.] Like I get to leave this place now?

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah. You totally do. Just say the word and the Admiral'll drop you off.

[And now private]

[fuglyslut]

[Well, that's kind of amazing news. So amazing that she's not even totally sure what to say about it.]

I-- why? I mean, you must agree, or you'd never shut up about what a mistake it is.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

It doesn't really matter whether or not I agree. I can't overturn the Admiral's decision so there'd be no point in my whining about it.

But - for what it's worth? I do. Honestly I didn't think there was much wrong with you in the first place that you wouldn't have grown out of eventually, and...the Barge has got a way of making you grow up really, really fast.

[prayformefather]

Good to know the system works.

[gotgreenmagic]

[Shego's pretty sure it's more like a case of a broken interdimensional prison ship being right twice a day, buuut she's not gonna say that.]

Guess so.

How'd Gotham work out for you?

[prayformefather]

Didn't go. Sounded like you guys had it covered.

[gotgreenmagic]

It'd take a miracle to get that place 'covered'. But yeah, staying out of it was the smart option. You get a Warden yet?

[Attention paid to announcements = none.]

[prayformefather]

Tim Drake.

[gotgreenmagic]

Oh. Well, he's a good guy.

[strangehistorian]

I certainly will!

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Sleep yet?

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Little bit. You?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Same. Come through okay?

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

Cuts and bruises. You know.

[By which she means 'maybe a cracked rib or two, whatever, I'll walk it off.]

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Uh-huh. I've got ace bandages galore if you need them.

[Private]

[gotgreenmagic]

I think I'm good, thanks.
