127 - WHY YOU GOTTA DO THIS, BARRON?

Comrades, if anyone has had any... uh...

[Pause.]

Comrades, could anyone who knows Barron Sharpe personally, just let me know how they first met him?

[BARRON >C]

Comrade, you know, there are normally people who would be prepared to help you with things even if you don't change their memories first?

[Sigh.]

You tried to change Mr. Nygma's memories, and I know that under normal circumstances, being hit on the head with a cane would be considered a punishment, but I think I need to actually punish you for this first, Comrade.

[HOW DOES HE DO THAT? Oh God. Sam only ever told him off and made him feel guilty.]

I... am going to take your shoes. No more shoes allowed. For a month, Comrade.

[ADMIRAL :C]

Please take Barron's shoes away from him.

He changed Buffy's memories. How do I fix it?

What happened?

...We met when we were kids, at summer camp. Why, what's going on?

[GOD. DAMN IT. Prefect likes Buffy. There's a pause, while Prefect makes an expressive noise of displeasure, while keeping his communicator switched off, then he switches it back on, and replies calmly:]

Just wait. His powers have been reduced to the point that by the end of the week she'll have her own memories back.

[There's a very slight intake of breath.]

Do you know what he made her remember?

He tried to change Edward Nygma's memories. Edward Nygma beat him up. I'm just... being cautious.

That he was in our evil-fighting group a few years back. [Though at a time when Spike was not fighting evil.] She thinks it's your fault I don't remember him.

That's all I can do? Wait?

I... Sister, I don't think you did meet him when you were children. Do you remember... did you ever see my first post regarding Barron publicly? About why not to hold hands with him?

I could show her a copy of his file regarding this, but it doesn't sound as if she trusts me very much right now. So yes, Comrade, wait. She'll be back to normal in less than five days.

Can Barron fix it?

Gee, Comrade. It's almost like a bunch of people warned you this would happen.

...

If you have this at all sorted out by tonight, you want to have a drink or something? Feels like a long time since we've talked.

Why do ya be carin' how I know members of me own crew?

...

Theoretically. But it would be an exceptionally bad idea to try and make him when it will fix itself in less than a week.

I'm sorry, Sister. Without your warnings I would never have foreseen the possibility that my inmate would attempt to abuse his powers under any circumstances. Not on the Barge

I'd like to go for a drink though.

[FACE. FACE MADE OF LINE.]

Comrade, Barron isn't on your crew. He's... a wizard who can change people's memories. So far two other people have told me that they know him from years ago, and neither of them are Pirates.

Oh, come on. I didn't attack him. I was just standing there and he attacked me out of the blue. He's lying to you, Prefect. [Lol, Barron's the one lying.]

And you do realize that some people have worked out how to work with their feet after having their hands damaged? [This is true just... highly uncommon.]

Your sarcasm gets better all the time, Prefect. I'm actually proud of you.

Around nine, at the pub?

Comrade, for a professional criminal, you're not very good at making up imaginative lies.

Your file says that you can't do that though. [Pause.] And anyway, I'm not taking away your socks, Comrade. How's your head doing?

Sometimes the truth isn't as exciting as I'd like. The truth being that warden is insane.

The file is wrong. [Sounding so sure.] And it's not my head I'm worried about. It's my arm.

He is a man of honourable, albeit not entirely wholesome reputation in the city-state of Lormyr. As I would imagine you would know, if you are indeed his warden.

Thank you, Sister! I practice sometimes, but most people think I'm being sincere.

That sounds good, Sister! I'll see you in a little bit?

[Yes, Prefect, you will. Shego shows up at the pub a little after nine, still slightly damp and exhausted after a long swim - she's got one visit above decks per week so she might as well make it count. When she sees Prefect she gives him a half-smile and a little wave.]

Hey. How's it going?

Met him in New York a couple years ago. He ain't half bad of a guy. What's it to you?

That's--he wears gloves. What's going on with you two?

[Poor Prefect. TAKE AWAY HIS SHOES TWICE! LOL, best punishment ever!]

You'll be forgivin' me if I ain't going to be takin' advice from the likes of you, considering all it tis that you've done.

[Prefect shoots Shego a somewhat relieved smile, and gives her a little wave back.]

Hi Sister! It's going... ah...

[He tilts his head slightly, thinking.]

...good in parts. I found out that Barron is excellent at networking, and is a very quick worker. On the other hand, he is not a very good liar, and when I put him in zero, people get turned back to normal.
