[Hi Barge. There's a very serene looking Vulcan on the screen. She isn't quite smiling yet, but it's lying in wait.] In light of the recent flood, if anyone would like to discuss their experiences, I have a good deal of free time on my hands. Slade has slipped into a barge coma, it would seem. I've left him in his room, and intend to check in on him regularly: I believe he would prefer to be there than the infirmary, if that is acceptable.

[And there's the smile.] I'd be happy to speak with anyone who feels it would help them.

[She nods, and leans back, looking satisfied. The rest is directed toward her apparently now vast group of friends, though it's still public.] On an unrelated note, I've considered allowing my hair to grow out. [SHOULD SHE, BARGE?]

Thank you, Kay. I believe I'd like to see how it looks.

[most_feared]

No harm in trying something new.

[with_discipline]

I agree. I've worn my hair in the same way for years. It seems time for a change.

[most_feared]

So have I. But I think it does the job in my case and you have a face for anything.

[with_discipline]

[That's almost a chuckle.] You could always try growing your hair out.

[most_feared]

I don't think my face shape is quite right anymore.

I've been thinkin' that... I'm not real sure I can see much of a future with me and Narvin. I want to. I really want it to work out. He always says a lot of nice shit to me, but I think now it's just him listening to his own head rattle. He's never actually shown me that he cares all that much about me and I don't know if I do anything meaningful for him.

[And he sounds kind of depressed about this.]

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[Oh boy. She's responding to his depression.] Have you talked to him about this, Kay?

[Private]

[most_feared]

I have a little but he always has an excuse. He doesn't really treat me any differently than the people that he hates so I have no idea how he feels, and if I talked to him if he'd be genuine or just fake it harder.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

I don't think he'd lie to you. [Though there's always a way to tell...] Do you care for him?

[Private]

[most_feared]

Oh yeah. I care for him a whole hell of a lot.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Then talk to him. Find out where you stand, one way or another.
