[Friend Filter. If you think you're on it, you're on it.]

Everyone doing okay? I don't know if this is a flood or a gasleak or just something driving people a little crazy, but I figured I should check in anyway.

Anyone notice any turbulence? Got any theories? Figure we should get right down to it before people start really panicking.

[Private to Tim]

Still worrying about Bruce? [Which is basically his way of asking if you're doing okay specifically.]

[Private to Costigan]

Checking in, buddy. Everything still in one piece, or are you missing some stuff?

[Private to Mal]

So, got any theories on why Arthur's quoting poetry and acting kind of... spacey and super paranoid? [You'd know, right awesome nice lady who knows Arthur?]

It seems like everybody is losing memories. I didn't notice any turbulence, but I didn't notice before the last flood started either.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, you were affected last time. That tends to get people confused about what's going on. And we've had floods without turbulence before.

So, you remember everything?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Not really. I'm just not quite sure what I'm missing.

[batmanschmatman]

Who's your inmate?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[To hell with your questions, Dick, he has one of his own. He just turns on the video and holds up the picture of him and his dad.]

Who is this?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[... Oh boy. Dick is just staring for a few seconds because dayum, this is a really horrible thing for the Admiral to make you forget.]

Your dad. Jack Drake. You don't remember him?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[What. Dick. You are getting an are you crazy look, what is this.] What are you talking about? Bruce is my dad.

I want to check them all for needle puncture marks.

Private via friends filter

[batmanschmatman]

You think they could be drugged?

Private via friends filter

[toldastory]

I think that nanomites can remove people's memories once they've been injected and I want to check.

Private - early in the day before Arthur comes over and whacks her over the head. :|

[cauchemal]

I don't know, and I'm worried. I haven't seen him this moody in some time.

Private - Why you gotta be like that Arthur :C

[batmanschmatman]

He wasn't just moody, he seemed kind of... unstable. And really confused.

Were you able to get through to him at all?

Private

[cauchemal]

Not a bit of it. I've asked him to come see me later, and I think he will. He doesn't usually ignore my requests for that long.

[Private]

[championoftime]

Would you mind running a few people by me so that I could take a look at their mental stability?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

You mean bring them over your way? I can definitely try. How are you doing?

[Private]

[championoftime]

Well, but it's everyone else that I'm worried about.

[slayage]

[Buffy doesn't realize she's forgotten her sister yet. D:] I think I'm good? I haven't noticed anything. People are forgetting stuff, right?

[batmanschmatman]

[Awww Buffy D:] Yeah, seems like it. And there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern. Some people know the Barge but are forgetting stuff from back home, and some people don't know where they are or how they got here. Seems like if this was a flood, it would be a little more uniform.

[slayage]

Huh. Anyone interrogate Barron yet? He pulled a crazy memory shift on me a little while back.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...I don't think anything's wrong.

I just think some of us are individually losing it.

How could I get all those things wrong?

private

[batmanschmatman]

Get what wrong? [ARE YOU GOING NUTS LIKE ARTHUR. :|]

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...Nothing.

[pause. is now a good time to admit suspected insanity?]

Some of the things I've got written down, like they were fact, are more than a little inaccurate.

;private

[lostundercover]

I'm good, guy. How about you? Anything you need?

;private

[batmanschmatman]

That's really good to hear. Seriously. Whatever it is is affecting more people then I thought.

And yeah actually, uh, did I break my hand a couple weeks ago? And maybe get in a fight with Bruce about being Batman?

[The invasionverse fight between them was solely about telling Crane his identity and ended with Dick just being normally angry, not total spiral out of control ranting to everyone miserable, so no hand breaking, and people would have noticed he was annoyed, but not like, unusually upset and he didn't spill the details about it. Dick found back up transcripts of the original conversations.]

;private

[lostundercover]

The Barge is like that. I doubt there's some kind of conspiracy going on, if that's what you're suggesting. [ohtheirony]

And no, you didn't break your hand unless you didn't tell me about it. Why?
