What ho, Professor Fate! We never did finish that questionnaire, you know. Somehow we got on the topic of eggs instead and never quite came back around to the main point. In fact, not only did we not finish, we didn't really get much of a start, either. So I'm just going to assume that you answered "yes" to question number one, "Are you evil?" if it's not too much trouble. You see, all the other questions rather require that the answer to the first question be "yes."
So, on to the second question.
[Clears throat.]
Why are you evil?
...
[Waits. Looks at his pocketwatch.]
...
Professor Fate? I say, Professor? Are you there? [Usually Fate would be shouting into the communicator by now. Bertie frowns.]
...
Professor, if you can't hear me, say something. ...No, wait, that doesn't work at all, does it. If you can hear me, say something.
...
Professor?
...
[Professor Fate is gone, but it hasn't yet occurred to Bertie to check his warden item. So the Barge gets Bertie's (increasingly bored and restless) waiting face for a long time.]

Date: 2011-09-12 12:01 am (UTC)Do you want me to come with you? If he is in a coma, you might need some help.

Date: 2011-09-12 12:18 am (UTC)No, that can't be right. I'm fit as a fiddle.
I did die, once, and it was dashed unpleasant, but I'm sure I'd have remembered if I died again.

Date: 2011-09-12 12:20 am (UTC)I don't know, I don't really know how we're supposed to be "redeemed" or whatever, but that's the idea.

Date: 2011-09-12 12:35 am (UTC)Oh, I know all about the Barge and the Admiral. It's a pretty poor cruise, if you ask me. He wouldn't even let me bring my valet, Jeeves.
I think the redemption bit is a corking idea, though. Tricky business, and not for the soft of mind, but well worth the effort.

Date: 2011-09-12 12:39 am (UTC)Oh. Okay, then, I guess, never mind and all.
I just figured, with your friend disappearing, maybe you didn't know, 'cause that... something like that happened with me, too.

Date: 2011-09-12 12:41 am (UTC)I don't think so. We might have to break in the room if it's locked, but I'm not sure much would help us with that.

Date: 2011-09-12 01:50 am (UTC)Mine's not lost, he's just in a coma, you see. [Somehow in Bertie's brain reality has gone from "might be in a coma" to "clearly is in a coma"...without having received any evidence of such.]
