Costigan's in a coma. I'm bringing him up to the infirmary now.

If anyone's got questions, shoot them my way and I'll do my best to answer.

[Private to Tim]

You doing okay?

What? But I was supposed to --

[Erk. Stop. Can't rewind and delete. So, deep breath and carry on as if nothing extraordinary was said.]

Thank you for the notification.

Private - voice

[batmanschmatman]

[OH MY GOD ALARM BELLS.] No problem.

Supposed to what?

Private - voice

[cauchemal]

[Aaaaaaa what to say.]

He wanted to ask about my father. They talked during the flood, that's all.

Private - voice

[batmanschmatman]

Oh. [PARANOIA IS OVER 9000.] Okay. I'm... sure he'll wake up soon.

Re: Private - voice

[cauchemal]

[WHEW dodged that bullet.]

I'm sure.

...will you let me know when he does?

Private - voice

[batmanschmatman]

[OR SO YOU THINK. :|]

Of course. [But not before he has a chat with him about what you two were really up to. >>]

Private - voice

[cauchemal]

[Well hell.]

Thank you.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Yeah. [Eh. :|]

[batmanschmatman]

[Sorry Mal, he's Batman's kid. :c]

No problem.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[Your dad is scary. :|] You want to play some train tag minus the trains up in the CES later?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[He just has a lot of feelings. :|] You mean tree tag? [Vague amusement. Then you can practically hear the shrug.] Nah, I don't really feel like it.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

[He hears it. AND KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS.] You saw all of it?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Yeah, I checked back.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Okay.

Let me know if you need anything. [Which means he's letting you brood in peace.]

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Costigan?

Damn.

[toldastory]

Alright, we'll be ready.

private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Could I ask you some questions about it, actually?

I'm investigating why they happen, with hope to prevent them. At this stage, I'm just collecting information.

[batmanschmatman]

He's not hurt or anything, Howie.

[batmanschmatman]

Thanks, Martha.

private

[batmanschmatman]

Sure. What do you want to know?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No, but there was something I should have said to him yesterday and... I still hate it when this happens.

[batmanschmatman]

Everything okay?

Re: private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Well, answer what you can, but do you know what he was doing when it happened?

And who the last person he saw before it happened was?

private

[batmanschmatman]

I think he just went to sleep and didn't wake up, and I have no idea. I don't keep tabs on him twenty four hours a day.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Aye, it's alright. Getting better.

I just wanted to ask him something and avoided it yesterday.

[batmanschmatman]

How unlike him. [Although this is said with some humor and maybe affection, because... yeah that's pretty typical Costigan behavior.]

Re: private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

...That's alright, I just wondered if you knew, not that you should.

private

[batmanschmatman]

What kind of data have you gathered about all this so far?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I more meant... I avoided asking, not him answering.

[batmanschmatman]

What were you going to ask?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Just... religious stuff. It can wait.

Re: private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Nothing conclusive, unfortunately. I'm looking for a pattern from everyone I've had chance to talk to.

There isn't one, so far. It's a little frustrating. But also a work in progress.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Okay. [Best brother ever. :c]

COMA LOVE

[lostundercover]

[batmanschmatman]

Okay. I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon.

Dick spends an alarming amount of time dragging you places, Costigan :|a

[batmanschmatman]

I guess if you gather enough data, eventually something might turn up.
