[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?

You'd be surprised. I'm-

Was?

Welcome to the boat. [he smirks] high school with adults.


Yes. Was.

I'm an inmate.
worstsongever: (Wow that sounds ridic)

...I should probably decide how awful that's going to be, huh.

Oh. Uh. Can I ask why?

It'd be smart.

[he licks his lips] Probably best if you don't. Typical cop things that cops can do wrong.

Are we talking Rodney King typical, or what?

Rodney King typical.

[he's beginning to wonder if this conversation was a bad idea.]
worstsongever: (You're a little bit weird. No judgement.)

[Un. Sure.] Oh. Well...At least you know it was wrong?

Re: ; Private

One of the things you're going to have to realize here, is that a lot of people don't know it's wrong.

But in my case. Yes. I knew it was wrong.

[He just doesn't care.]
worstsongever: (Holy shit what just happened.)
