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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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."

"How long've you been up?"

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

[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."

[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."

"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."

"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."

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

[That does, actually, get a laugh out of him.] "Payback for all those times he's tried to kill me."

"There's a story if I ever heard one. Or several. How many times exactly has he tried to kill you?"

"None, actually. I mean, we've fought before, but Jason's the stabby, killy member of the family. Not that he's ever tried that on me, but I'm from before everyone else in the timeline, so... I have no idea if he tries it in the future or not."

"I crown you guys with the issues crown." [Jim commented wryly as he stole one of Dick's pieces.] "Which the Kirks have had for years. So congratulations."

[And he is stealing one right back.] "So, it's not just a my universe thing where everyone's home lives are pretty much exactly the opposite of normal?"
