[After his CES adventure, Rex is looking a little disheveled, but largely fine, save for some scrapes. WAR WOUNDS.]

Attention, mentally unstable women of the Barge...

[Hey, it's been a long time since Rex shrieked at y'all, right?]

STOP KIDNAPPING ME!

[He flings his arms up.]

Seriously! What is it about me that screams "kidnap me

[And, right on cue, there's Iago, knocking very insistently on Rex's door. Might as well attempt to be polite.]

[Rex peeked out the door before opening it all the way. Just in case.]

Hello.

[Even Iago wasn't enough to make Rex's lineface go away.]

[inhumandog]

[Iago didn't enter. Not yet anyway. He had his "annoyed" face on.]

Care to discuss the matter?

[YOU DON'T GET TO LOOK ANNOYED. REX IS THE VICTIM HERE.]

What's there to discuss? [He balled his fists.] I just wanted to go for a walk, and she ambushed me!

[chlorophylliac]

Don't flatter yourself. You weren't special, you were just there.

[stopthat_destro]

[stopthat_destro]

Oh, you're so cool. [PS Rex turns 12 when he's mad.]

[championoftime]

I agree with this sentiment. Leave him alone.

[stopthat_destro]

[Muttering:] I wish I still had those super power nanomites...

[championoftime]

That in itself is a problem. Not yours, really, but a rather widespread mindset that too many endorse that it's up to you to better protect yourself, not up to them to not take advantage of people.

[creatingalegacy]

What the hell happened?

[stopthat_destro]

I got kidnapped. Again. By a PLANT LADY.

[creatingalegacy]

...what, you mean like...a botanist? Or a woman made of plants?

[stopthat_destro]

I don't know. She controls plants, and she's green.

[buildindreemz]

I think kidnapping in general should be frowned upon.

[She's not exactly happy about it, either.]

[stopthat_destro]

At least she let you go.

[buildindreemz]

She could've just killed all of us, so I guess we should be grateful. [That doesn't make her less embarrassed about it, though.]

[stopthat_destro]

Why would you ever be grateful to your kidnapper? [Says Mr. Stockholm Syndrome.] That's stupid. You're-- [STUPID >C]
