[Video; the communicator's propped on a table or shelf to show Shego sprawled back across a (green) couch, fully suited up, elbows hooked over the backrest.]

O-kay. From your perspective I've been gone for like…eight, nine months? Given the turnover the last time I was here, I'm gonna guess that means as many people have no idea who I am as those who do.

Here goes: I'm Shego. I was an Inmate, then I was a Warden, graduated an Inmate, blah blah blah, for reasons too dumb to report I'm back to do it over. [She takes the glove off one hand and wiggles her fingers.] To answer some previous FAQs, I am not: an Orion, radioactive, suffering from leprosy, in any way contagious, or related-to-slash-associated-with the redhead with the plant schtick. I'm just - green. Do not attempt to adjust your set.

So if you got here any time after September of last year, I don't know who you are.  [Beat.]  Actually, if you got here any time before September of last year, even odds I don't know who you are either. Go ahead and fill me in anyway.

...And I guess a rundown on recent catastrophes would be useful just so I know what everybody's whining about this week.

[Friends Filter]

Sound off.

Oh, and Arthas, just to preempt your 'I told you so': you're totally right. I couldn't leave. I tried to go home, but every time I went to sleep at night I just saw your big, scowling, mottled face and I just had to come back and see it again.  Must be love, right?

[Warden-Bat-Filter]

[That is exactly what she wrote. You can decide if your character qualifies.]

Having some trouble tracking down Dick Grayson and Tim Drake. I'm thinking they've both gone, but - circumstances? Help a girl out here.

[Engine room filter]

Hey. I have no idea who's on this filter anymore and if the place is staffed then I'm gonna stay well out of it, but just so you guys know - I spent like two years working the engine room. I know my way around. Next time we crash into a hostile planet, beep me.

Apropos of what exactly?

[Some people give her migraines just by talking to her, honestly.]

[mistconduct]

Listening to people whine and bitch.

[gotgreenmagic]

Unless the Admiral's finally started putting Valium in the water, it's gonna happen anyway. At least this way I don't have to go digging through the network archives to find out what's going on right now.

[mistconduct]

Nobody volunteers information to be helpful. They do it because they want to prove another asshole wrong.

If you really wanted information, you should've come on and been all "Oh hey so everything's wonderful on board the barge, isn't it?" and watch a hundred pricks rush in to correct you.

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah, I didn't really wanna talk to a hundred pricks, I was more holding out for anybody who actually remembers who I am. Still, round of applause there for the thorough understanding of Barge mentality.

[mistconduct]

Thanks.

I'm Chris. I've been here since January, so, y'know. Missed the cut-off.

[gotgreenmagic]

Honestly I stopped paying attention around April of last year. Burnout issues. Inmate?

[mistconduct]

Oh, for real? Sucks.


Yeeep. You think they let dicks like me run the show?

Wait. They totally do.

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah, the Warden dicks don't usually open by verbally abusing everybody else on the ship.

Although I realize that's not unheard of.

[mistconduct]

Hey, I didn't know where I was, all right? Being dead kind of has this way of freaking you out.

[gotgreenmagic]

I was talking about this conversation right here, sport. Every new Inmate gets a free pass on saying whatever dumb crap they want when they first show up, I'm not arguing that.

[mistconduct]

I like those passes. But no, I thought you'd jumped back to....like the half dozen times I've bitched this fucking barge out.

[gotgreenmagic]

I think I'm gonna wait to get bored before I start on the outright network stalking.
