[tucky]

[It's Christmas, Barge residents. And as it happens, one of your new arrivals is a Christmas angel.

Well, okay, she's just dressed up as one. Interestingly enough, it was Christmas on her world too, and she just got done performing in a Christmas pageant: she's wearing a white costume robe, and has a tinsel crown on her head. The front of her robe is bloody and dirty, and torn in a few places-- and given how beat-up and damaged her face looks, it's probably safe to assume that at least some of that blood is hers.

Currently she's wandering into to common area on level 6, a bit unsteady on her feet. She's also filming herself, because she found a fancy phone so why the hell not. Soon enough she stops walking and poses dramatically, arms held wide.]

Be not afraid-- for behold, I bring good tidings of... of, uh...

[And then she collapses. So yeah, that's a thing that's happening.]

[As dry as a bone]

Clearly.

Are you able to stand?

[Video]

[tucky]

I dunno.

There's a guy coming.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

There usually is.

I suspect he'll be taking you along to the infirmary. At which point you may expect a speedy recovery.

[Video]

[tucky]

Guess so.

[She still sounds pretty out of it.]

How'd I get in here?

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

You died.

My most sincere condolences.

[Video]

[tucky]

[She laughs at that.]

Liar.

[A slight, disappointed sigh]

If you insist. But I think you'll find, in time and with experience, that I have a great respect for the truth.

And nothing I say will change the fact that you are dead.

[Video]

[tucky]

This ain't heaven, I know that.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Do you consider yourself an expert on heaven?

[Video]

[tucky]

I'm a believer. I'll know it when I see it.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

In any case, you happen to be right.

You're dead, but this is not your species' idea of heaven, if such a place exists. You're at a sort of crossroads - a waystation that will determine the course of the rest of your life.

If you choose to have one.

...But this talk may be above your reasoning capacity at the moment, given your very likely head injury.

[tucky]

You're delusional and a blasphemer. Don't need to be all there in my head to know that.

[He gives a pointed, toothy grin]

The first day is always the most difficult. Especially when you feel disinclined to believe anything.

[Video]

[tucky]

Don't you talk to me like that. Like I'm stupid.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I don't believe you're stupid. But I do have a strong inclination to believe you're willfully ignorant, and possibly concussed.

[Video]

[tucky]

I'm neither of those things.

[Yeah, she's probably both.]

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

My suggestion is that you allow a doctor to determine that.

[Video]

[tucky]

My suggestion is that you go fuck yourself.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

...Charming.

[Video]

[tucky]

With a jumbo flashlight.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

When you've settled in and come to recognize the reality of your situation, I'll call again.

[Video]

[tucky]

Then you turn the light on and if you shove it far up enough it'll shine out of your mouth, see.

[Video]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Yes, I see.

[Why does the Admiral insist on sending him these...creatures.]

Have a speedy recovery.

[And he hangs up. Weird new inmates.]
