mock after party!

[waitforit]

[ WELL THAT SURE WAS EXCITING, WASN'T IT. Barney is entirely too normal for any of this shit and he pretty much lacks the, uh, emotional gumption to really process it in a healthy way so instead how 'bout some denial?

Seeing as how he was the first to run out, Barney somehow finds plenty of time (and paper?) to write up a sign in the living area that says:

What: A Party
Where: Holo Deck!
Who: YOU! (Duh.)
I don't have to tell you to suit up, so just. If you don't wanna be alone maybe stop by? Please? Just. OK?
It's gonna be legendary!

[ Upon arrival to the holo deck, you will find an ooc-ly familiar setup. The holopgraphic projections have been set up like a strip club: indistinct music, dimmed lights, catwalk, cheap booze and cheap seats all around. This is escapism at its finest, and doesn't everyone need a little escapism in their lives after that mess?

Feel free to grab a seat and enjoy the show, or maybe have a fake drink and try not to cry too much. Either way, there's probably plenty of reactions to be had in here, so why a strip club? Why not?

Of course, if the strip club isn't for you, you can always reprogram the room to your fancy, Barney will only be a little put out. Truth is he just wants to forget this whole day happened, thanks. ]

Power isn't merely the physical. We can defy them, refuse them the reactions they so clearly desire. If they wish to see us succumb to fear, we can let their cruelty spur only our determination. So long as we have that, they can afford no mistakes. And the longer we remain here, the greater the chances someone on the outside will manage to root out the cause of our disappearances.

But we are from different worlds, different times, and we are not as we should be. How can that be changed?

[misplacedxsheath]

How likely is it that they could accomplish such a feat without leaving some manner of trail? The Doctor claims it nearly impossible to accomplish in the first place. The question then would become if any of our allies could make use of to follow us here and now. And if anyone living could manage such a thing, it would be that scientist.

Allies... I do not think I have any. But it would be good to escape. And return.

[misplacedxsheath]

We're a varied group, I doubt I'm the only one here with remarkable people concerned with their safety. In the meantime...we need to keep careful watch for any opportunity to strengthen our own position.

[have_a_heart]

[nod] All right. ...I am not good at plans. But I will do my best.

[misplacedxsheath]

Then it's a good thing we're a varied group. If you find anything that may be significant, bring it to the rest of us. Well, those of us who are capable of meaningful contribution, anyway. I doubt that pest of a kitsune would offer any suggestions of value.

She is very full of herself. But everyone has their own troubles.

We can hope the results of her boasting have taught her some humility. In a situation such as this, we can't afford to have someone behaving as she did.
