[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?

Nice to meet you, George. Uh - can I call you George, or would that be dumb mistake numero dos?

I've been here for two months now, and if it's any comfort: no one has murdered me yet.

I only meant that my cousin Penny is only sixteen, and my aunt has let her come all the way from Belleville to stay in Toronto, and she's already landed herself a beau, and they're engaged. I'm terribly jealous. ...Not so much about the sweetheart thing, but the rest of it.

Well, why haven't you traveled?
no subject
Oh, I don't really have the money for it.
no subject
[Oh. Awkward shifting. She runs a hand through her hair.] Yeah, that'd put a damper on things...Sorry. I haven't actually gone all over.
