[Extremely Broad Friends Filter - if you've had a single positive conversation with him over the past year and a couple months, you're on it.]

So, has anyone noticed anything different about themselves?

[Private to Tim]

How do you feel about sparring later today? [This is totally not code for I'm checking up on you and if you choose to read that into it well. Dammit Tim. Why would you ever think that? It's not like that's something he would do. >>]

[Private to Buffy]

So. [This is a little awkward. :c] Should we maybe talk about what happened?

[Private to Jim, added later]

Can I come over?

[ooc: Dick's totally unaffected. Come bother him though. c:]

I mean, even if the Admiral himself doesn't plan the specific events, maybe he's bringing us to places that have... advertised themselves for certain purposes? It kinda makes sense.

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

I think that's a little concerning when you think about some of the places we've been to. "Come to our abandoned ultra zoo which is home to a posse of angry, hungry dinosaurs, what could possibly go wrong" seems like a horrifying marketing slogan to go gee, I really want to send my employees there for a weekend.

[buildindreemz]

But what if it was more like "come to our zoo where we will have your employees and inmates participate in team-building exercises"?

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

I guess running from deinonychus and trying to avoid getting eaten does kind of bring people closer together.

[Friends filter]

[buildindreemz]

It requires teamwork!

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

I could still do without the hungry predators chasing after me.

[Friends filter]

[buildindreemz]

I know. Trust me, I do.

But you see my point, right? The Admiral himself might not always have complete information.

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

I think I'd prefer that to knowing that he knows exactly what he's getting us into every time he dumps us somewhere incredibly dangerous. It makes him seem a little naive instead of... incredibly sadistic.

[Friends filter]

[buildindreemz]

True. Though I'm not sure either one is exactly good.

Or that time when the Admiral wasn't actually the Admiral for a couple of months. I mean, what was that? How do we even deal with that? Not very conducive to inmate rehabilitation if you ask me.

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

Definitely not. I don't know, I guess I don't mind him seeming a little fallible? But not going to lie, that whole thing was really unsettling.

[Friends filter]

[buildindreemz]

Yeah, I suppose maybe it's easier to just think he can make mistakes, rather than think everything that's happened has been part of some incomprehensible plan.

[Friends filter]

[batmanschmatman]

Probably. I'm still not sure how I feel about there being something out there that can usurp him without us noticing for months.
