[40] - [Video]

[sharpememory]

[You can get a glimpse of the infirmary and even a smidgeon of Prefect sleeping in a chair before Barron finally gets the camera pointed at his own face.]

I was in a coma again? Seriously?

Comments

[sharpememory]

[And a little while later, totally waking you up Prefect.]

Prefect? Hey, Prefect?

[ARE YOU IN A COMA TOO?]

[buywithme]

[Prefect is not in a coma. He kinda just spent a truth flood loudly agonizing about the possibility of you not waking up, Barron, but he is not in a coma. He shifts in his chair, blinks his eyes open, a little blearily, then practically jolts out of his seat when he sees that Barron's awake again.]

Comrade! You--

[Pause]

Welcome back. You slept through Christmas.

[Would it be appropriate to hug? Is handholding more or less explicit?]

I was worried about you.

[sharpememory]

[Prefect? So not in a coma, but Barron isn't really worried about startling him. Barron has other concerns.]

I missed Christmas? [No free stuff?] Man, that is the worst.

[And a pause, then:] I missed you too.

[Which is a lie, because Barron was in a dreamless coma.]

[buywithme]

You're awake now. That's what matters.

[Prefect... kinda suspects you're just jumping right back on the lying horse, but he doesn't even care right now. He just smiles like a big idiot because priorities.]

And, I guess technically you just got a big alcohol detox, so maybe It'll be easier for us to stay sober for a while now?

[sharpememory]

[Barron just laughs, because he... does not agree with this logic, to say the least.]

Man, you're still all into that?

[And a pause, because thinking.] I guess I could do it though, if you wanted. For a week or something.

[yeahscience]

You're still here?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, and so are you. So there.

[paradoxlol]

Welcome back.

[sharpememory]

Thanks, man. Apparently I missed Christmas, which is the worst. Doesn't the Admiral usually give us stuff?

[paradoxlol]

Not this year. [THAT I CAN REMEMBER ANYWAY. I could be wrong.] Maybe you can ask everyone for gifts now.

[sharpememory]

I'm gonna have to. I should have multiple birthdays or something this year.

[Ah, the wonders of forgetting when your own birthday actually is.]

[surfaceshine]

[Holy crap, Dean had pretty much given up at this point - his face might break, if the grin he's sporting the second he turns the feed on gets any wider.]

Holy shit, dude, welcome back.

[sharpememory]

Dude, yes. You're still here. I was gonna be pissed if you'd graduated someone over Christmas.

[surfaceshine]

Kon did graduate, but you're still stuck with me. All that sleep and you're still fuck ugly, what's up with that?

[sharpememory]

Ha, you're an over achiever, you know that? And yeah, I know. What's up with that? It's a good thing that you're around to make me look good by comparison.

[surfaceshine]

You are pretty much the first person ever to call me that. It's touching, really.

Not as touching as the inexplicably high opinion you have of that face, but hey, can't win 'em all.

[HE MISSED YOU SNARKY BUDDY.]

[ukan]

How long were you out?

[sharpememory]

Dude, I don't even want to think about it. We're talking months here.

[ukan]

Good God. Welcome back. Do your legs still work?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, they do. Comas around here don't really work like they're meant too.

[most_feared]

Well, that's some good news. Pretty sure your warden was gonna lose his mind if you didn't wake up soon.

[Yes, going to tell on Prefect.]

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Seriously? Like, actually getting crazy?

[Private]

[most_feared]

Uh...


I'm not gonna lie to you. He was gettin' there.

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Oh, man. Like with crazy hand washing or what? Drinking?

Re: [Private]

[most_feared]

If you were in a coma for another week I'm sure they might have had to hook him up intravenously to feed him 'cause he wouldn't have left your side for anything.
