So now we all know what we have to look forward to in our golden years. Thanks for that, castle. A full review of all the major age groups was exactly what I needed this month.

How does the aftermath of this stuff even work here? Do we take the "avoid the subject and pretend it never happened" approach? Because that's sounding pretty appealing right now.

[He thought he'd avoided the journal long enough, but they're still talking about it. If only...]

More or less.

[wantsiceland]

[sorry, Spike; she was avoiding the journal for a little bit too, so you get stuck with the latecomer]

Good to know.

[gottaknockhard]

[Repress faster, come on.]

As long as it doesn't turn it into an annual thing.

[Shego represses on her own time and no one else tyvm!!!!]

They're already a monthly thing, aren't they?

I'd...umm...appreciate it, if you didn't mention to anyone what we talked about at Holly Peaks. I...remember everything that happened, but...that's really not how I'm like at all.

What's the matter, you're a good guy now?

I've always been a good guy. The old man was...En Sabah Nur. He's a reminder of what I could have been, if I hadn't chosen to be a hero.

That's disappointing. Sorry to hear it.

[that he's a good guy, of course, not that he could have become bad]

Pretend what never happened? ;-)

[Yeah so he didn't take part in Holy peaks fun but he's still dealing with his own tarantula related issues.]

[wantsiceland]

That's what I like to hear.

[jimfromit]

I always aim to please.

[wantsiceland]

So what have you been up to?

Besides the stuff we don't talk about.

[by this point, M's gained herself a nice cozy spot in the clinic, and she's finding it as good a place as any to get her bearings and read through this ridiculously odd book... she refuses to dictate, though, not when she's on pain drugs. it wouldn't be a good if she accidentally started slurring words]

Pretending things never happened isn't often the best of ideas.

[wantsiceland]

In this case it's less denial and more in the interests of maintaining sanity.

[savethedarkness]

Sanity does seem to be a rare commodity here, from what I'm hearing. I'm still trying to get a straight answer as to where I am and how I came to be here.

[wantsiceland]

From what I'm hearing, the answer to everything seems to be "magic castle; don't question it". So I try not to. I have better things to do, and this place really isn't that bad.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Oh, look who's back to normal.

I've always been a big fan of the pretend it never happened approach.

[wantsiceland]

Then I expect you to keep that up here. Sound good?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Good-oh. Nothing ever happened, world was absolutely normal. Just another day in the magical castle.

[i_got_this]

I got to see exactly why I should never ever consider the medical arts of any kind. Talk about something I never want to experience again.

[wantsiceland]

You were a nurse?

[i_got_this]

Yup. Scrubs and all.

[Which is why she spent most of the time hiding in the nurse's lounge, away from all you old people.]

[whistles_the_blues]

If that's the approach you wanted to take, why draw attention to the subject at all?

[wantsiceland]

I want to know it's the norm. And declare my intentions; you know the drill.

[whistles_the_blues]

I suppose I do. Still seems counter productive though.
