The Continuing Adventures of Barry Ween

Barry had avoided the warehouse for a total of a day. For the better part of the weekend, he had been holed up here watching friends go through some of the more horrible things that he could have ever imagined. There were of course bright moments that happened as well but the overall horror was outshining those moments.

Which is probably why Barry decided to call home.

( Dude... )

After the call he sat back and shook his head in amusement. Suddenly the warehouse didn't seem as grim anymore.

Five minutes later he was back to his regular self and running five experiments at once as he started building yet another project.

[Open door, open post]

With plans looming for this weekend, Barry was now at a point he could call the submarine he was building for Eleanor finished. He had already taken it out for a shakedown cruise to make sure everything was in order. Right now all that mattered was there was someone accomplished enough to drive the thing.

Which was why Barry was sitting on the dock and waiting for the pilot to show up for one more run before Friday.

[Mainly for Joker but open to anyone else who knows who they are and wish to see the sub. Handwavy invites apply.

Barry was not one for wasting time. The backlog of work he needed to complete because of the time lost while he was a dog was enormous. So after working with Joker to capture a gremlin, Barry had immediately set to work procuring a sample of the gremlin venom.

The process of getting said gremlin venom was not difficult to do. He merely stuck a fake rubber arm into said cage where the aggravated gremlin promptly bit.

After procuring the sample, Barry immediately began analyzing the substance and it's hallucinogenic properties. In truth the venom itself was quite simple from Barry's point of view and it only took a couple of hours before he had a working sample ready to ship to one of his subsidiaries for proper testing.

"That was almost too fucking easy," Barry said as he capped off the syringe. "I wonder why no one ever tried to come up with a solution like this before?"

( Vaccines and Gremlins and R Kelly... Oh my! )

Barry was not nervous.

Correction: Barry was not admitting to himself that he was nervous.

Which is why he had made sure the big screen monitor was functioning in perfect honor about a dozen times in the last half hour. He also made sure the snacks he had purchased (various types of chocolate) were in perfect organized order and had tested the popcorn button on the microwave about five times to make sure the popped vs un-popped kernels was a good ratio.

To sum up: Barry was totally nervous.

At some point someone was eventually going to show up but until then he was trying to make sure that everything was perfect.

[For one and potentially others!]
