[Video]

[There's only one pewter mug atop the counter besides Faith; but viewers shouldn't let that fool them. She's already on her third Pan Galact Gargle Blaster - fully drunk and looking to get drunker as she pulls a final sip of the heady stuff up to her lips for another drought. One last burst of forced apathy, before she puts the glass down.]

Barbara's gone.

[The feed clicks off.]

[Drunk - this much drunk - is very much different than buzzed; it's different from her normal drunk too. It isn't relaxed, or teasing; it isn't even apathetic anymore; it's angry; it's enraged - at herself, at the Admiral, at whatever the hell gets in her way.

Drunk; angry; and capable of punching through most walls - it's probably a good thing she's found her way into the gym. Not that the punching bag can take much more of her. Not when each punch pushes it to the end of its chain.]

ooc: Here for a few hours, and then gone until Weds. :( Putting this up to let everyone react, and because Faith can honestly use the support.

Faith locked her pup in the room if anyone's wondering - she doesn't want Ruby seeing her like this. >,>

Thought you didn't even want her here... [There's not much force in it, though; she's noticed everyone talking to Kara; she doesn't approve, but it makes it feel warm despite herself.

Besides, Steph is right.]

I had a crush on her since I was twelve. We started dating about three years before I came to the Barge, but it didn't work out. She's still one of my best friends. And your inmate might not have been the same woman? But she was still Barbara, and I know she's fine.

...Whatever you say. [It's hard for her to believe, though.]

That's what they tell me.

I never said that. Just that it was complicated.

I am sorry she's gone.

You saying you miss her? [She's having trouble with that?]

So's everyone.

I know it's not much consolation, but most of us have been there. The Admiral gives new meaning to the word "unreliable."

[Dick sighs, frustrated, and fights back the urge to just roll his eyes. He gets it, he really does, but he's not in the mood to deal with her immaturity and frustration right now. She wasn't Barbara's warden anymore, she wasn't his problem.] I guess I'll see you around.

I'm saying I wish I'd gotten over myself sooner and had more time to get to know her.

[She takes a big drink.] Guess that's why he never shows himself around.

...She was something.

Sure thing. [She's not quite looking herself; she's not up for this. She still feels like a failure.]

I think he knows what kind of reception he'd get.

Guess that puts you firmly in the punching party, huh?

She'd have to be. [ She did hear a little about Barbara's world and her role in it. ]

[He saw the post and knew where she'd go immediately. He comes into the gymnasium in a set of clothes he does not mind messing up, and crosses over to her with a resigned expression.]

That's not going to do it for you, and you know it. Come on. Let's get in the ring.

You could have told me.

[She was a little... down after her talk with Dick; but it was easier to be mad; so she was still smacking it a little, if not as much.]

Sure about that?

You knew more than I did.

Could have helped her...

How? By judging her based on someone else? By holding her up to a standard that has nothing to do with her? How would that help anyone? You did just fine on your own.

Guess someone didn't agree.

My first inmate disappeared, too. She was just a kid. [So the moral of this story is:] It would be a well-deserved punch.
