[Olive situates the camera, sitting at her desk and peering over her shoulder at her room. There are some clothes visible on the floor peeking out from behind her bed, and on the floor is what looks like a bunch of little red pieces of cloth. It's hard to tell that they're A's.

Olive smiles, and scratches the back of her neck.]
So this is kind of weird. I keep thinking my parents are about to walk in. But no, it's just a crazy, kind of creepy boat hallway outside. So. No worry about that, I guess.

[Pause. She runs a hand through her hair uncomfortably, then laughs. It's kind of forced and lame.]...Well this is awkward. So, uh, hi, my name's Olive. Penderghast, for what it's worth. Aaaand I'm a new warden here. On your boat. Of the Damned, or whatever you guys call it. You'd think a giant ship sailing through outer space would have a title a little more, I don't know...flamboyant? Than 'The Barge.'

Right, so, questions. This thing does filters, right? Like friends lists on livejournal and facebook and blogspot? Oh and private stuff, it does that too, right? Hang on, I think I found--

[Private]

[Yes, she found the function, awesome. She waves at the camera. Pauses. Scratches the back of her head. Makes a face and bobs her head to an absent beat.] I got a pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine... Oh my God, that song is going to be in my head for the rest of - I'm talking to myself. That's a good sign.

[Public again!]

Never mind! Got it. Totally. Under. Control. [She even makes a smooth hand gesture.]

Next question! These warden Item...things. Are they usually, uh. Weird and varied objects? [Muttered:] Or am I just reeeaaally lucky.

Man, this is just like blogging. Except, people almost never reply to my blog - but, you know. Don't let holding to traditional norms stop you.

[And added some time later:] One more question, and points if you can tell me this, but who knows what a lemon squeeze and/or melon grab is?

The whole sinking, 'I'll never let go, Jack' isn't really something I want to experience outside a movie theater.

So. This doesn't really bode too well for me.

I don't know; I don't think anybody does. It's something that should be studied, but to my knowledge nobody really has. I have notes from observations, but no answers.

Hm. Nine. Eight if you're good at staying out of trouble, but most people here aren't.

Because the writer just looked it up out of sheer curiousity.

[he rubs at his eyes]

...Jesus fucking christ. They're getting younger every month.

worstsongever: (Do you actually know people like this)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Muttering to herself:] I am seriously rethinking this.

So on average, how many people die a month?

So I shouldn't be expecting a population of my peers? [She sounds. Kind of excited about this.]

Oh, it was moving picture. Yes, some of them aren't as good as others.

Why do you say, Miss?
worstsongever: (Holy shit what just happened.)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...Moving picture? [What are you, constable sir. :|]

It's on urban dictionary.com xD

[identity profile] expectremorse.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[quiet laugh]

Did you want one?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes?
worstsongever: (You know I've been thinking about this)

...that is what I meant. Why did I not type that. xp

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really, not really. I'm actually quite all right being the odd girl out.
worstsongever: (Woman said what.)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Also known as a film?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I believe so. Because that's what the images are printed on.
worstsongever: (Say what now)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. [Stare. She shakes herself quickly.] Sorry, I've never heard anyone call it a moving picture, before. Did you ask a question? I think you asked a question.

Lately? Probably... Four or five. Typically, after a few months of relative peace, we have some large, catastrophic event to make up for it. The worst has probably been... upwards of twenty deaths in a single day?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Well. Um, yes. I asked why you thought it didn't bode well for you?
worstsongever: (Holy shit what just happened.)

[Is he serious. He can't be serious.]
worstsongever: (lol what)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nah, he's totally gotta be joking.]
Edited 2011-06-08 21:51 (UTC)

It's okay. We love you anyway and it's probably on ED.

[identity profile] expectremorse.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll fit in fine here.

[pause] are you serious about wanting an answer to that question?
worstsongever: (Srsly :|)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait. He tried to pass lemon squeeze off as a drink and this sounds way less like a lie.]
worstsongever: (OH come the fuck on)

and done

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell kind of place is this?
worstsongever: (I shouldn't have said that :x)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, right. You're an officer and the violence is excessive, I'm a high school student...Pretty sure a cop would handle things better. Constable, sorry.
worstsongever: (Wow that sounds ridic)

Probably. XD <3

[dot dot dot, you can see the thoughts in her head.] Yes?

[is marking this private]

You tell anyone I told you this... [threat unspoken]

It's The act of placing one's hand on the female breast and then rotating it alternately clockwise then anti-clockwise over the nipple

Or...


Goddamnit why am I telling you-



There. You have your answer.

Silence, yeah, got it. [Stare. Welp. Okay then.] That seriously gets a name? That sounds completely unnecessary.
