[33] - [Voice] [Public]

[sharpememory]

You know what? I don't even give a fuck. I'm going to go find some wolves and hidden treasure. [Barron sounds a little, well, drunk. Probably because he's had quite a lot of alcohol to drink.]

[Private - Prefect]

No going outside for you. There are traps.

[Private - Eddie Nygma]

You and me have gotta have a real awkward talk right about now.

Traps?

Okay, Comrade, I was going to stay in my room anyway.

[WAIT.]

Wait, you're going looking for wolves? Don't go looking for wolves!

Private

[sharpememory]

Yeah, there are. Some walls almost crushed me. It was crazy.

I'll only look for nice ones. Ones that will help on my increasingly epic adventure.

Private

[buywithme]

Comrade that is not reassuring!

I'm going to come and find you...

Private

[sharpememory]

Man, don't! It's too dangerous out there. I'll come to you.

Private

[buywithme]

What if you get lost?

If you're not here in ten minutes I'm coming looking.

[trenchcoatedly]

Do you think these two things are connected?

[ichoosefight]

Do you think there are actually wolves?

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Dude, are you fucking retarded?

[More exasperation than heated; Dean is kind of annoyed by wilderness on a good day, and this is wilderness with teeth.]

Do not go looking for wolves. Treasure, I can get behind.

[sharpememory]

I don't know. There's no reason not to be wolves, right? Maybe they're in a trap or something.

[sharpememory]

Like the hidden treasure would be inside the wolves or something?

Private - spam?

[sharpememory]

I'll be there in ten or fifteen minutes. Maybe twenty.

[ Video ]

[sharpememory]

Nope, even if some people think that I am. I even wrote a post it note about it.

Wolves, treasure. Not much difference, am I right?

Private - spam!

[buywithme]

I don't want to wait that long.

[But actually, it's probably for the best that Barron takes that long, because that is long enough for Shego to come and say her goodbyes.

After she's gone, he basically starts drinking right away. He's actually... in a horrible way, he's more than just lonely now, he's genuinely afraid of what lies ahead of him. Isolation does not make for Prefect's best decisions.]

[ichoosefight]

And I thought the snakes were bad. They leave humans alone mostly, don't they? [ Unless they've been somehow trapped in a dark room for who knows how long... ]

[trenchcoatedly]

Or the wolves are protecting the treasure.

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

A what?

There really is. Namely, pawn value. Also teeth.

[sharpememory]

Oh. Right. That would make more sense.

[sharpememory]

I reckon so. Unless they were really hungry or being mind controlled.

[ Video ]

[sharpememory]

You can pawn wolf pelts! [Pause.] Or so I've heard.

[Spam]

[sharpememory]

[Well, that's good, because it takes Barron about half an hour to get there. When he finally manages to bang on Prefect's door, he's a bit worse for wear in terms of scratches and scrapes.]

Prefect?

[trenchcoatedly]

It's no more or less sensible than the ship turning into an extradimensional dangerous jungle.

[sharpememory]

I kind of like the jungle, though. I think I want to try eating one of the coconuts.

[Spam]

[buywithme]

[Prefect takes a few minutes to make it to the door, and when he pulls it open he doesn't look too great either. His eyes are watery, his sleeves are rolled off, and he's stripped off his tie.]

Comrade. Shego's gone.

[More important than any potential wolf fights you might have had on your way over. Sorry.]

[Spam]

[sharpememory]

You started without me. [Drinking, it has happened? According to Barron, yes.]

Oh. Yeah. I know. I said bye to her and everything. [Barron looks slightly confused as to why this is quite important.]

[Spam]

[buywithme]

Three years. We've been friends longer than I've been a warden, and every time I got murdered or abducted or every time anything happened to either of us, we had each other. When you were in the Coma, she came by to visit me visiting you, Comrade. Kept offering to bring me things, like I was the one who was sick.

[Prefect's voice is a little hollow as he explains this, and he's staring at Barron, like everything about why this is important should be obvious. Because it's Shego, damn it. Finally, he tries to smile, and fails miserably.]

I don't know what I'm going to do here without her, Comrade. I really don't.
