She was pleased at the laugh. Maybe calling "OOC" was going a bit far, but this did seem much the more natural way to be.

After waving a hello to Maeryn, who had just entered, and noting that the Bad Slasher didn't seem to intend on joining them, Jenni nodded thanks for the refill both to Dorf and her companion. His last remark left her a bit puzzled.

"What, you mean do something with DoSAT? Nah. They might be lunatics, but they need it to be brilliant. As far as I'm concerned they're all big damn heroes, especially Dann, and Makes-Things, of course. I mean, nobody's sure exactly what happened anymore, but the guy stood off against giant macroviruses and apparently survived—though I heard one theory that says he actually cloned himself and downloaded a copy of his mind into the clone, and that's what we have now, and you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" She stared a moment, registering the confused look she was getting. Most of the people who had been there tended to take it for granted that everyone except the newest of newbies knew about the epidemic and the invasion, and she was no exception. Suicide, however, had not been there and hadn't had the opportunity to find out sooner. She recovered with a quick headshake and a sip of her drink, briefly wishing it was something a little stronger than lime soda.

"Well, it's a tale and a half, if you want to hear it. This was back in `08, a couple of years after—after you lot disappeared," she corrected, figuring that a mention of the cause of disappearance would go no better with Suicide than it did with Nume, who had tended to look like he was being strangled with naughty things soaked in naughtier fluids. Which, given the badfic in question, might not have been far from the truth. Of course, he was better now, what with all the Bleepka—the look was now more of a desire to strangle the speaker—but that still didn't warrant bringing it up on a whim to anybody.
