006 - It's always tea time

[notdreaming]

[ Kara has been baking almost non-stop since the flood started. Claire introduced her to the idea, and she rather likes it. Sugar has a positive effect on brain chemistry. It's comforting, and it makes you feel better when you're down.

So naturally, with everyone feeling down about the last flood, she is baking and delivering cookies en mass. Little bags of cookies tied with ribbon are being left at people's doors, in front of them in the dining hall, and (in duplicate) at the bedside of those injured in the infirmary. All have been left at super speed to ensure she gets as many cookies to as many people as quickly as possible, with no note or explanation. Enjoy! ]

Good afternoon, barge! [ She smiles brightly. She's in a fabulous mood. ] I just wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Banner has been teaching me first aid, and I'll be helping in the infirmary some times. I also have superhuman hearing, so if for any reason you need help or just first aid or anything at all really, just call my name and I'll come find you. I've been selfish, only thinking about my own needs and my own grief, and I want to help. And I don't need a lot of sleep, so I really don't mind.

That's all. I hope you all have a great day.

Do you? How fascinating! Can you hear everything on the ship?

[notdreaming]

Almost everything. There's something about the structure of the ship that stops me from hearing into people's rooms, so I don't have to worry about invading anyone's privacy.

[strangehistorian]

Interesting! It might be some kind of silencing spell.

[notdreaming]

You mean like magic? It could be, I suppose.

[strangehistorian]

Well, that would be my first assumption. They're not very difficult spells. What do you think?

[notdreaming]

I had thought maybe the walls were made of lead, since I can't see through them. I don't know anything about magic, but I suppose my powers don't work against the barge itself.

[strangehistorian]

Why can't you see through lead?

[notdreaming]

It's too dense.

[strangehistorian]

Interesting! Are there other materials that have this property?

[notdreaming]

I haven't really looked, but I would assume anything denser than lead. Like Mercury, or Gold.

[strangehistorian]

I am tempted to ask Megamind what he saw in there!

[notdreaming]

Me too, but I'm not sure he wants to think about it. We never did figure out how to get him out of there on our own.

[strangehistorian]

No. But he did get out! And that's what's important.

[notdreaming]

Of course! Though I still don't understand how he got in there in the first place.

[strangehistorian]

We could ask him that too! If he doesn't mind talking about it.

[notdreaming]

He is a scientist, isn't he? Maybe he would have some useful insight. [ And by 'useful' she means 'interesting'. ]

[strangehistorian]

Yes! I'll ask next time I see him.
