Okay Barge, let's play a game.

It's called Help Keep Jim Kirk Awake or Else He Might End Up in Your Bed. And not in any fun or exciting way either.

Seriously, I'll take anything.

[Private to Kay]

Your Inmate pulled a gun on me. Just thought you should know.

Anything I can do?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

... Want to play some infirmary chess? [Watch him trying to make himself sound totally normal and not at all miserable.]

[Private]

Only if you promise to sock me when I look like I'm going to fall asleep.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Deal.

[Private]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I'll bring my set down in a little bit.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I'll be here. Don't fall asleep on the way.

[He's so typing this as he walks.] With my luck, I'll wake up snuggling Bruce.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I guess that would save time, but Bruce isn't much of a snuggler.

[Private]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I imagine sort of dying will really take the romance out of the moment anyway.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Probably.

He'll be okay. [Right? :c]

[Private]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he seems tough. [And he's there a few moments later. Hurray.]

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

[Hurray indeed! Dick's sitting next to Bruce's bed - let's assume Tim's ben forced into taking a nap or something - and looks pretty miserable, but manages a not ungenuine smile for Jim.] Hey. So, why are you winding up in people's beds?

[Jim just shrugged and moved to take a seat.] "I assume it's a commentary about my lifestyle but it's kind of really ridiculous."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

"How long've you been up?"

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Not super long but there's been like five people in two days. So. I'm never sleeping again."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

"I've tried that, it usually doesn't go well."

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"I've had a gun pulled on me and Shego left a bruise the size of a dinner plate on my ribs. Not sleeping is a better idea."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

"I don't get this flood. Or, I guess I do, but what the hell's the point?"

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"Is there a point to any of the floods?" [Kirk finally got the chess board set up and gestured at Dick to go ahead and take the white side.] "I think he's bored."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

"I have no idea." [Anddd he is just making his first move. And brooding.]

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Kirk can smell the brooding on you. Since he invented the concept and all. He made his move in silence before he had to say something.] "It really is going to be okay. Floods are really terrible sometimes, but life goes on."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

[Dick rubbed his forehead, feeling the stress headache developing.] "I know. I just wish I could do something about it."

[But he still makes his next move, and ten adds, dryly,] "I guess at least I'm not affected."

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"I'd say that being here is doing a lot." [Bedside vigils were always touching, that sort of thing.] "Poor Tim though. That's worse than mine."

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

"Considering the way things have been working out for him this flood outside of getting punched in the face whenever he opens a door? If I had been affected, I'd probably be trying to kill him or something ridiculous like that."

[Spam]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

"He'd probably deserve it." [It was a joke. Laugh, damnit.]
