038. - No more shapeshifters! Aw yeah!

[brokenweapon]

Unpaired again, thank God.

[Warden Filter]
Does anyone know anything about an author named Robert Ludlum?

[Private to Will Parry]
David probably doesn't want me talking to you, but there are some things you need to know about him that wouldn't be in his file.

Comments

Don't sound so excited.

I'm listening.

[Private]

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[He's just going to ignore the bit about him being excited. He's not excited. He's relieved. He might even crash the CES and hold a solo party - which in his case is running alone in an open field.]

David's file mentions a being named Crayak. Have you read that part yet?

[Private]

[becauseheswill]

I've been a little distracted between Hoffman trying to gut him like a fish and trying to fix some of the damage that's been done. [By you. >>]

[Private]

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[Don't hate him 'cause you ain't him, Will.] I'll wait until you've caught up.

I'd also recommend forbidding him from acquiring or morphing anybody on the Barge. He's abused that power before, in case you were unaware. [Oh so very much!]

[Private]

[becauseheswill]

I'm aware.

Tell me now before either of us gets too busy, and I'll put the pieces together.

[lostundercover]

Don't be an asshole.

[Private]
You and everyone else.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

I can't help it. The pairing went toxic and now I'm just glad to be free of it.

[Private]
Looks like the Admiral is shaking things up. Did you get split too?

[lostundercover]

You don't have to broadcast it.

[Private]
When I disappeared, yeah. I'm already paired again though.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

No I don't. [C'mon, he never gets a win.]

[Private]
Who's your new warden?

[lostundercover]

You know it's only going to make shit worse.

[Private]
Angelica. The former Mrs. Sexby, now Fanshawe.

[darknessb4me]

It's good to know that in such a trying environment, the people whose purpose it is to guide us will give up on us too.

After all, the Barge exists to fulfill warden deals and keep them comfortable if they want a nice vacation from their own worlds. Not to give anyone a second chance.

I suppose you're just ahead of the times, in any case. None of us deserve it.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[He's not dignifying your sarcasm with a response, Arthas, but be it known you're on his list for giving David those Death Knight powers.]

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

You sound relieved. [Someone had to get it right.]

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[Thank God, someone gets it.]

It was time for a change.

Let me know if you want me to edit!

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Apparently that's the same for a lot of people. We've had a fair few reassignments.

[Warden filter.]

As no one else has opted to answer your question, Robert Ludlum is a thriller writer and the author of the Bourne series, which I'm sure is why you're showing interest. You wouldn't find what little I could tell you about him very enlightening, he's an average fellow with a compelling writing style.

It's perfect. :D

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[He holds up a copy of the novel of The Bourne Identity.] I figured that much out.

It's confusing, though. Not the fact that I'm in a book - it's that so much of it is inaccurate. For starters, it's set in the early '80s. I was in grade school at the time. [There are a whole bunch of other inaccuracies too, but that really jumps out.]

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

I've had productions made of me that are similarly erroneous. Origins are perhaps mangled on their transfer through the universe.

Sorry, he had saw the above and had to comment.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Amen to that.

You and Nygma, huh? Maybe you two can make a club for failure wardens.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

David. Seriously. That was uncalled for.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

And for once we agree on something.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Careful with yourself, David. Your badmouthing of a complete stranger says a lot about your pliability.

Video.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

I've been unpaired too.

{PRIVATE.}

[She starts to say 'We need to talk' but that makes it sound like they're in a relationship or something, which they're not. So so tries for 'I need to tell you something' but hell if that doesn't sound much better.]

Before you were separated, did you two talk about the flood where him and I were paired up?

Re: Video.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

That's insane. Weren't you just paired up last month?

[Private.]

No. But we never really talked much after he froze me to a wall.

Video.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It...I don't know.


[Private.]
Oh, okay. It's just...I mean, I obviously got to know him better. He opened up about some things. And then I did. I just, um, wanted to start over with him. Please don't be mad at me, Jason.

Private - Video.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

I'm not mad. I'm trying to do that too. Probably with far less success.

Though 'starting over' for us means 'he leaves me the fuck alone and I do the same'.
