So, we've got a lot of people talking about finding stuff to do, or like, being kind of out of synch with the rest of us, timeline wise - between psycho brain experiments anyway, dude, really? - and since Lydia was talking about movie nights and stuff, I was thinking we should watch Star Wars again.

I know it's weird doing this kind of thing when like, people know about some of us from movies or whatever, but where I'm from, if you wanna get by in the 21st century, you've gotta see it.

Actually, maybe we should make a list. What other pop culture stuff should people definitely know about?

[This post is brought to you by Peter being really unwilling to discuss certain things.]

[Private to Blight]

[... He probably should have said this earlier, but he didn't, and he's not sure he's sorry about that. He's needed some time, and so has Powers, probably, because just. Jeez. Way to hit close to home, flood.]

Look, you can totally ignore this, or not respond or whatever, [He won't be offended.] But I wasn't trying to mess with you. I don't even know what any of that was. The Batman I've heard about isn't some teenager in the future.

So. Sorry. Believe me, I wasn't planning on any of that.

[For a lot of reasons, most of which he's not sure he wants to discuss with you. It's for the best, considering he still doesn't love talking about his own depressing origin story. u_u]

[So, some of you might have noticed the new additions to the Barge. The feed clicks on to reveal that even if you haven't, Peter and Scott definitely have, since they're currently wearing some costumes that might look familiar to some of you. (More specifically, here's Peter's and here's Scott's. Pete looks pretty pleased when he addresses the Barge, while Scott just looks vaguely bored and desperately trying not to roll his eyes at the other teenager's enthusiasm.]

So, now that Vader's [Who some of you might know better as Hannibal Lecter.] been taken care of-

[Anddd he's being cut off.]

--Yeah, now that the "almighty" [he's sarcastic, can you tell] Vader's in space jail, do I get paid? [He's actually nudging Peter with one elbow. Where's his money.]

Is that seriously all you care about? [Uh excuse you, sir, Peter is giving you the dirtiest, most hurt and offended puppy dog look right now, seemingly more or less not paying attention to the fact that other people are going to be able to see this, too.] There are a lot bigger things at stake here than some reward, you know.

[Oh my god Peter, the puppy thing is supposed to be his schtick and he is so glad it's not for this flood. He's a badass, okay Barge. Remember that.

Scott just rolls his eyes and sighs.] Yeah, but a little reward never hurt morale. [But gosh, Peter, don't have a melt down. Scott slings an arm around Peter's shoulders and tugshim down for, yes, a noogie, you little (giant) hero you.

... Which Peter is promptly trying to squirm and push his way out of, because come ON, man, they're supposed to be doing serious hero stuff!] Anyway, now that Vader's under control, what's our next move? The Empire's not going to defeat itself, right?

[What is serious hero stuff though, Pete? Scott grins his totally suave and extremely cocky (doofy and dorky) grin and let's Peter go to do his hero thing - but abruptly the smile fades and his eyes get comically wide as he grabs at Peter's arm.]

Don't look now, buddy, but we've got company.

[Off screen there are, presumably, storm troopers, because Scott is pulling out his awesome plastic blaster and aiming and--] Pew! Pew pew!

[So obviously, Peter is whipping out his awesome plastic lightsaber and swishing it around, making the appropriate vvvvvmmmmmm, vvvvmmmmmmmmm noises to go along with it before they both scamper down the hallway and kill the feed.

Most serious larpers.]
