[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?

I'll come and find you. Do you know your room and floor numbers? It should be on your door somewhere.
no subject
Level three, room nineteen.
no subject
[He will. About five minutes later, in fact. Knock knock, Olive.]
no subject
Hey. [Okay seriously, what is with the ren faire garb. She just glances before pushing up a smile.] So, where does this tour begin?
no subject
no subject
Oh God, they don't get their own bathrooms? That's kind of...awful. And reeks of gym class.
no subject
[He opens the door onto the stairwell and holds it for her.]
Upstairs from here is the Infirmary. Martha Jones runs it, and she's really nice. They're all nice. But...hopefully you won't have to visit much.
no subject
Yeah, I'm kind of counting on that being the case. Noooot sure I want to do this death and back thing ever.
no subject
People don't tend to get killed...randomly. A lot of people get into feuds here, and cycles of revenge...everyone's all cooped up together here, and things build up. I've tried to stay out of trouble [except when he killed Coyolxauhqui that one time] and I find that trouble doesn't really come looking for me.
no subject
That's...actually a huge relief to hear, the way Rex made it out made it sound like murders were going down left and right.
no subject
Rex - oh, Dr. Lewis?
[Long pause as he's walking upstairs. Again, he's trying to be diplomatic.]
Like I say, the Barge looks a lot more dangerous if you go looking for trouble.

no subject
They're all...self-contained, mostly. For example... [He drums his fingers against the handrail for a moment.] There are two Inmates called Amanda and Mark, and they really hate each other. I think they knew each other before the Barge, and now they're here, they spend most of their time thinking up ways to kill each other. So with them and most of the others, it's a case of not getting between them, really.

I'll have to take your word on that. [And oh hey here's the deck.] Has anybody told you about the floods here?
no subject
...Okay, when I made that Titanic crack, I was joking.
