[Yeah. John's just not going to think about the torture that's probably in their future. Better to compartmentalize for now.]

What about clothes? My supplies and clothes are gone. I'm in a white jump suit that could stand to be a size or two larger.

[John almost never has to complain about clothes being too small. How novel!]

[notaquaman]

Same here.

[Nathan snorts.]

And for the record, the bodysuit isn't exactly making me feel any more comfortable that maybe this isn't some kind of fucked up fetish shit.

[jumpthegun]

[The thought has crossed John's mind.]

Mr. Miller's a sadist from everything we saw during the emergency repairs... games he made us play. I'm wondering if it's just him doing all this, though. He said 'I'm going to fix you.' The Admin was fighting against him in the games, as well, to try to protect everyone. At least that's what they made it out to be.

[notaquaman]

So...

[Nathan pinches his nose. He isn't really cut out for this kind of thing.]

Bobby boy abducted us, but he's theoretically trying to help, but the Admin could be against him doing anything with us and also setting us free? Who the fuck are we supposed to root for, here?

[jumpthegun]

Ourselves. I don't much trust either of them, mate. Eve's at least shown she's not a sadist, though. But I don't reckon we can count on them coming to our aid. We had to beg to get the Admin to change things from the tower when people were being held by the cult.

[notaquaman]

[Well...that's comforting.]

So, we're rooting for the underdog, is what you're saying. Classic. Yeah, I can get behind that. Who doesn't love an underdog?

[jumpthegun]

The overcat? [Look, he's a dad. He is obligated to make the occasional dad joke, even in the worst situations. Perhaps because this is the worst situation.]

Hang in there, Nathan. We will get through this. Whatever it is. Us blokes on the right side of the Pond need to stick together, right?

[He raps his knuckles against the wall sharply twice, just a little reminder that he's physically there, not just a voice, even while they can't see each other.]

[notaquaman]

You said it, mate. Takes a lot to crack this son of a bitch--and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you've got balls to spare.

[Whatever happens, whatever he feels, he'll get through it. They'll all get through it. Nathan leans back against the wall.]

Nothing shitty ever lasts.

John "Ballsy" Watson, yeah? Nice ring to it as a sidekick for Captain Invincible.
