[Friends Filter - one friendly conversation rule applies!]

[Gene's so far from being an expert about stuff like this that he feels like an idiot for even beginning to hypothesize why things are heading the way they are, but after talking to Merlin, and all the murders, and how weird and off certain people have felt...

Anyway, he'd rather know a little more about who's been changed by it and who hasn't. Whatever it is. Maybe it's just people being strange.]

Anyone been noticing they're feelin' weird since we got back from port? Or seen anyone else been actin' kinda strange?

[Asiatic, he'd almost want to say, like being here for too long is making people depressed and angry and different, but it's not exactly the same. People got like that in the islands when they'd just been away from home and decent food for too long.]

[Private to Snafu]

[And on a completely unrelated note:] I was gonna run by the mess, you want anything?

He's a lot stronger than he looks. [He means no, but he's a little embarrassed by the fact that Kylar more or less patted him on the shoulder and broke Jimmy's bones. It's not exactly a story he needs to get out.]

[Jimmy, someone else having super strength isn't a reflection on your own badassness.......]

You alright?

[You have a lot to learn about 1920s machismo, young cinnamon roll.]

...Yeah. I'm fine. They gave me plenty of painkillers.

[He hesitates for a few seconds, then takes a deep breath. It might be the painkillers talking, or it might just really be him, but he's been feeling guilty.] Sorry for throwing you out last time.

[Nice try, Jimmy, we all know you 1920's people had ridiculous looking underclothes.

Anyway, Jimmy's apology catches Gene a little off guard, because he definitely wasn't expecting one - for a number of reasons.]

You had a right to. [They'd been in Jimmy's room, while they'd both been feeling shitty, and Gene had been saying less than pleasant things about Jimmy's mother. If that was too much - and obviously it was - Gene deserved to be kicked out.] I'm sorry.

[He looks incredibly awkward about it, to be honest, and he knows that the reason he feels like this is less because he didn't have a reason to throw Gene out (because he did, and they both know it) and more because he doesn't want Gene to feel like shit about it.

He nods in lieu of shrugging.] I know. We were both messed up.

[We both are messed up, Gene thinks but doesn't say, probably wisely.]

Is he gonna do it again? [Kylar, he means. He's still not sure how it happened.]

Video

[thelastbullet]

Not unless he gets outta Zero anytime soon. [He's glad for the diversion- that had taken just the necessary amount of time, and he's glad they got it over with.]

He can't be down there forever. [srsly jimmy you're not really doing a good job of being reassuring here...]

[ur the warden here pal c'mon]

So I'll be sure to have my weapon ready, case he does it a second time.

[Gene should probably say something, or try to talk him out of it, or something, but. All he does is nod. Whatever's going on, it's looking like being on your guard like that is going to be even more necessary than usual on the Barge.]
