[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.

[yeahscience]

You're still here?

[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.]

[sharpememory]

Yeah, and so are you. So there.

[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?

[paradoxlol]

Welcome back.

[sharpememory]

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

[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.

[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.

[ukan]

How long were you out?

[paradoxlol]

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

[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.]

[buywithme]

I am, Comrade, still very much into your well being and rehabilitation, believe it or not.

[Can you possibly believe that your warden is still super obsessed with you??? COULD IT BE?]

Thank you. Ah, are you hungry? I could go get you something to eat if you like? You've been unconscious for a while, so you could probably use food?

[sharpememory]

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

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Seriously? Like, actually getting crazy?

[sharpememory]

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

[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]

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]

Oh.

[Somehow, this is VERY SURPRISING to Barron.]

Well, sure. [What to eat that is not alcohol.] I guess I could go for a sandwich or something.

[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.

[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.

[ukan]

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