Thanks to everybody who came to save Nathan. It looks like he's going to be fine, even with all that screwed up zombie talk.

I'm not sure if we wanna have a party about this just yet, but uh. I'll ask him when he wakes up?

Nico, I'm right downstairs so let me know if anything's going on.

The whole Shadow thing is hard on a person, but at least he'll get a good night's sleep. Probably better than he's had in a long time.

How about you, Mancha? How are you holding up?

[notvictorious]

To be honest, I'd be lying if I said that was the weirdest thing that's happened to me.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Well, the whole Shadow thing isn't just hard on the person who gets kidnapped. It's hard on their friends, too.

[notvictorious]

They make robots pretty tough nowadays.

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but just like him, you shouldn't have to go through anything alone either.

Besides, we want to stop more Shadows from showing up, right?

[notvictorious]

So more of this doesn't happen to anyone else?

[yearoftruth.livejournal.com]

That's the idea. If we can support each other from the beginning, maybe it won't.

Then again, we still don't have a pattern or any idea who's doing the kidnappings.

I'd tell you to sleep too, but you're probably just gonna grouse at me about cyborg needs (hint: when grousing occurs, I think even your motherboard is agreeing you need a nap in the worst way).

?

[panchromatic]

Seriously, Vic, you're entering the mixing puns with macros gray zone of exhaustion.

[notvictorious]

Grouse isn't a meme.

[notvictorious]

Yet.

[panchromatic]

Okay Moot, I'm allowing your manly avoidant pride for a bit here, but if you haven't taken at least a nap by tomorrow so help me you are drinking sleepytime tea.

[notvictorious]

Next time we run into Ultron, we're going to need to talk to him about how much of a potent soporific sleepytime is on his latest creation.

[riseup]

the dungeons are kind of fun, aren't they? bluh, before the end anyway.

[notvictorious]

I guess I was a little too freaked out to enjoy any of it.

[riseup]

that is understandable. it would be like if i had to rescue karkat! not even kicking all kinds of monster butt could make that fun.

[riseup]

i guess we really need to work on keeping everyone safe.

[notvictorious]

Yeah, we really dropped the ball there.

[riseup]

hey, don't feel bad. everything is a learning experience, vic! i really think they should set up a buddy system or something, though.

[notvictorious]

Yeah, I'm worried about the trolls. There's kinda a lot of them and it's not like they don't draw attention to themselves.

[riseup]

i will make sure no one gets lost.

[notvictorious]

Wherever Nathan was is no place for a kid.

[riseup]

it is no place for a super cool cyborg friend, either!!!

[notvictorious]

Everybody here's already seen that other side of me, I don't think whoever is doing this to people would be interested in a repeat performance.

[riseup]

i guess i missed that!

[notvictorious]

It wasn't a lot of fun for anybody.

[riseup]

still be careful, ok? that is a friendly authoritative request!

[notvictorious]

Then I probably shouldn't tell you I'm walking alone at night right now, huh?

[riseup]

well, as long as you are wary i guess. i believe in you!

[unscatters.livejournal.com]

Things are pretty calm on this front.

[notvictorious]

Good to hear, I guess.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Hey, we told ya there was nothing to worry about, right? And it all worked out in the end - no zombification!

[notvictorious]

'Nothing to worry about'- you guys scared the hell out of me!

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Psh, we had it under control. Me and my buddy Minato used to do this kinda thing all the time, back home!

[WELL NOT EXACTLY, BUT.]

[notvictorious]

All the time?

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! The Dark Hour happened every night, back in Iwatodai. We had a whole team, and we were always fighting Shadows and rescuing people and stuff. The TV channel thing is different, though.
