[Kirk and Shego have the strangest conversations. And since he left in the middle of one, that is exactly where he's coming back, which is now gloriously broadcast to all.]

--ring dream that the Enterprise is being eaten by an octopus in space and for whatever reason, Tim is there and all he can say is 'that is so cool' like it's the realization of all his hopes and dreams. And I consider pushing him out of an airlock. Is that weird?

[Pausepause]

Shego?

Sheeeego?

It's rude to start ignoring me in the middle of a conversation, you know. We can start manners camp all over again.

[Dick nodded, expression becoming a little more pensive.]

"Yeah, but not physically dangerous, I don't think. I mean, it was clearly hostile, or it wouldn't have started erasing stuff, but it wasn't directly physically aggressive. It manipulated people into working for it."

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Manipulative people are the most dangerous kind of people." [Small silence.] "Are you gonna be okay?"

[batmanschmatman]

[Surprised silence.] "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be okay?"

[Don't buy it, Kirk. His trying to make this a joke is really it really sucked and I'm not dealing with it. >>]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Because you got manipulated and you don't remember it and it makes you feel superawkward and uncomfortable and little bit like you wish you had disappeared for a month instead?"

[batmanschmatman]

[He lets out a short, sort of sad laugh.] "More or less. April was a good month to miss."

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Next time we'll trade. I'll get traumatized and you can just blink out of existence."

[batmanschmatman]

"Are you going to be okay?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Have your own bitter, sad smile.] "No. Cause I can't stop wondering where the hell I was."

[batmanschmatman]

"Well, at least you're back now, right?" [Excuse Mr. Brightside here.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess. You're annoyingly cheerful sometimes."

[batmanschmatman]

"It's part of my charm." [Meaning, it keeps me sane. :|]

"Have you ever actually met any octopi in space?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I'm fairly certain they aren't real."

[batmanschmatman]

"Maybe you've been watching too many scifi movies."

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

My life is a scifi movie.

[batmanschmatman]

"And mine's a comic book, with terrible movie adaptations. And a TV Show that's just a little too campy for anyone's tastes."

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Are we really doing this? Because my whole life is actually a redone version of someone else's. And I've met him."

[batmanschmatman]

"Really?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, like a year ago he was here. It wasn't my finest moment."

[batmanschmatman]

"You didn't beat him up, did you?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"I lied about my identity so I could find out things about his life without it being weird and then he thought I was his son. Which worked for a while because our eyes are different."

[batmanschmatman]

"How'd he find out you were lying?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"People told him I was here and it was really just a matter of time before he figured it out. Then he punched me."

[batmanschmatman]

"That's... awkward." [Although he's not begrudging you for lying about it.] "How long was he around for?"

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Just a couple of months. Long enough to give me an identity crisis."

[batmanschmatman]

"Why an identity crisis?"
