Whoah - hang on-- [There is some shaky cam for a second, and then Scott has managed to prop the camera up...somewhere. As he backs away, it's pretty clear that it's on some kind of tree branch, because it's angled down at Scott. He's got a lacrosse stick in his hands, and there's a red helmet on the ground next to him.

He's also grinning the biggest grin.]

The CES is awesome, in case uh, anyone else hasn't been up here yet. Totally awesome. [He's juggling a ball in the net, jerking the stick back and forth and tossing the ball up every now and then.] There's this big space, and it's like, completely perfect for lacrosse. Does anyone else play? Maybe we could get a scrimmage going.

[Private to Bruce]

Hey, uh, I'm Scott McCall. I'm new here, but Chromie told me you were talking about opening an animal clinic? It's just, I worked in one back home and I thought, you know, if I'm waiting around for an inmate I could help with that?

[Private to Megamind]

Hi. Um - I'm Scott. Do you have a minute?

[Private to the Admiral]

Sooooo, how would it work if I wanted to run an animal clinic? You know, for the pets and...animals. Can I use an empty room or something? Can you get me supplies? It'll, um. [And now he is totally reading from the list Megamind gave him.] It'll be a good, uh, employment opportunity for inmates, it'll make wardens' jobs easier because they won't have to worry about their pets, and taking care of animals is a good...learning experience?

[ Bruce looks briefly confused when he comes onto the screen to respond. ]

Talking-- oh. It'd been more of a casual inquiry, wondering if we had any qualified vets on board, and such. Any-- additions to the barge of that nature is done via Admiral request, and is unfortunately subject to his whimsy.

But as someone with an animal companion-- [ he angles it down toward the blue pitbull with the calm demeanor. ] It was of some interest to me.

Oh, cool. [He smiles a little when he sees Tony, dogs are totally his specialty.]

Maybe I could...ask the Admiral then? I mean, my mom's a nurse, and I know if I tried to put a splint on a dog in the hospital, she'd probably rip my head off or something.

Tony's only allowed in the infirmary because he's a service animal. [ Because Bruce is still unamused over all but is willing to engage in some self-depreciating humor. ]

I know Barbara Gordon, Selina Kyle and the Emperor own cats, while Ned, Megamind, the Marquis, Morgana, myself, and... I want to say here's at least one more dog owner on the barge. There may be others.

[ Let's not talk about the zombie jackal-dog. It's just better not to. ]

[PLEASE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE ZOMBIE JACKAL-DOG, HE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW.]

Oh, that's no big. We had tons of animals at the clinic.

So, um.....How does this work? Like, do I just ask him to set aside a cabin, or what?

I honestly don't know?

The last person to request a barge addition and get it approved is Megamind. You might want to ask him what he did.

[ Bruce is, sadly unaware of the skating rink, really, or he'd think of Alex too. ]

Oh, okay. I will. Thanks for the info.

.....What kind of name is Megamind? [Is he talking to a boy or girl here]

Edited (nope changed me mind) 2013-10-05 04:12 (UTC)

Not at all. And-- as I do run the infirmary, and you are a new warden... check up and an update of your medical records wouldn't go amiss.

[ He smiles, brief and genuinely warm; kid who takes care of dogs can't be bad, right? ]

Megamind? Uh-- it's a superheroic moniker. He's-- one of the barge's more unique residents.

Edited 2013-10-05 04:15 (UTC)

Oh. Okay. [And speaking of....]

I hope you don't mind me asking, but uh, are you the real Bruce Banner?

[ Cue an eyebrow lift ]

...this is like Chris making strange noises and referring to 'hulking out', isn't it?

Yeah.

...But without strange noises. I hope.

.......Are you the Hulk?

On some days.

[He's not squeaking but he's totally trying hard not too.]

Dude. That's awesome.

Wait. Not awesome.

[ JUST... a look, Scott. A LOOK. ]

[Such a well deserved look.]

Should I, like. Be worried...?

No.

[ so terse ]

Oh. Good.

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to like. Be a jerk, or anything.

If the barge can surfvive Chris, we can survive you.

Oh my God, I'm as bad as Chris?

Not yet. Not so far.

Can we just rewind like, this entire conversation?

If you'd like to, yes.

Thanks.

[ Bruce can be compassionate. ]

Is there anything else you need?

[ He's not going to tell you about Megamind now because you were kind of a doofus, but since Megamind's pretty harmless he feel safe in this level of barge hazing. ]

Uh - no, I don't think so. What's your dog's name? [He is going to ignore that physical stuff though because he has NO IDEA what would come up.]
