Tick tock, Barge.

Do you feel it yet?

How many lives are you holding in your heads now? Numbers. I want to know who has the most. And how many more do you think you can take before you crack?

Comments

[megamind]

Two.

[ Thanks, Barge, for fucking with his eidetic memory. He loves picking up an identity last breach... and if it continues every breach. ]

I can't estimate how many lifetimes I can hold. It'll be entertaining to find out. For somebody who isn't me, anyway.

[makeitwork]

Going somewhere?

[timesbureaucrat]

I think I can handle quite a lot, thank you. My brain is designed to partition away extraneous information and to contain multiple personalities. [Thanks to regeneration.]

[makeitwork]

Designed for madness. How utterly lucky you are.

[timesbureaucrat]

[Narvin bristles. Madness is a touchy subject, since Time Lords are so prone to it and so in denial about that fact. And Narvin himself skirted close to the edge once.]

Madness? I don't think so. Designed for efficiency rather.

[megamind]

Not anywhere but where-ever the barge goes at this point.

[makeitwork]

[No one escapes insanity. Ever :c]

Stuff enough in there and the time will come when the system breaks.

[makeitwork]

Inmate or Warden?

[megamind]

Inmate, and proud.

You know, I've been through a lot worse than this place and I'm still sane. But aside from that isn't very nice to say to people when you know some of them are badly hurt by it. You shouldn't want to hurt them just because you're hurting. None of us are warned about it, the ones that are brought her or the ones that come here.

I talked to the Admiral. I want to talk to you about it.

[makeitwork]

Complacent, is a better word.

[megamind]

Not complacent in the slightest. I'm not letting them change me.

[makeitwork]

Then talk.

[makeitwork]

But not fighting them?

[megamind]

Because I'm dumb enough to put my nefarious plans over the network where anyone can read, listen or observe, right?

[love_slave]

I asked if you graduated, if you could be near your daughter instead of Wonderland. He said yes.

It's not a cure for the curse- I'm trying to find ways to help with that now. But it's a start.

[Beatrix Kiddo, the Black Mamba, Arlene Machiavelli, Beth Solberg, Beatrix Smith, Beatrix "the Kid" Kiddo. But those last two seemed to stop mattering immediately after the breaches, Arlene Machiavelli was by all accounts a dead woman, and Beth Solberg was becoming less useful day by day. She'd had other identities in the past, each with their own meticulously detailed backgrounds, but all of these faded from memory when she was finished with them. They all would eventually, all except for her two real identities.]

Six. But it's not the number that'll get me.

[makeitwork]

They can't change you, if they don't know what you're thinking.

Just a thought.

[makeitwork]

Near as in Storybrooke? As in where I was before I got dragged here?

How thoughtful of him.

[makeitwork]

What do you think will?

[ Voice ]

[warisart]

What is that supposed to mean?

[megamind]

Well, I hope they don't know what I'm thinking!

[ Now he has to wonder how many brain readers there are on the barge. ]

[deadliestviper]

The past.

[makeitwork]

[Operation make everyone crazy/paranoid/weird is going well c:]

That's their job.

[megamind]

...I'm going to have to make a telepathy baffler. [ THANKS HATTER. ]
