inexactitude: (You know I've been thinking about this)

[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?

Oh, I like that. Who needs to be concise? What about Boat of the Once, Yet Soon to be Un-Damned? Or Boat Where There Is No Judging?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
There is a bit of judging though. We certainly can't go around all: "Well, he or she murdered his or her warden horribly, but we'll leave them be because we don't like to judge"...

Naming a boat is trickier than I'd have thought.

So long as we avoid classics like 'Titanic,' I think we're golden.

...Now, about this horrible murdering thing.

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with Titanic?

Yes. There has been a bit more horrible murdering than I'm comfortable with. And I'm a police constable.
worstsongever: (Srsly :|)

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.

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. :|]
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.

[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: (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.

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
You can say cop. How old is a...that sort of student?
worstsongever: (lie explosion is go)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Seventeen. What do you guys call it over in England?
worstsongever: (Well. I'm gonna quietly flee into the ni)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stare. Blink. And then she covers her face with both hands, looking pretty damn embarrassed.] Oh my God, I'm sorry. I just heard constable and figured - you know - I'm really sorry.

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright. We do have the same Queen.

I'm George Crabtree.
worstsongever: (lol what)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thaaat is a good point! You do. So it's almost like it wasn't a totally stupid mistake. Almost.

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

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll give you better than an almost.

George is fine.
worstsongever: (heretofore known as Superslut)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You're nice, George. So...How long have you been here?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much, miss.

I've been here for two months now, and if it's any comfort: no one has murdered me yet.
worstsongever: (People know I'm awesome)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-08 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a huge comfort, I can't even tell you.

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
So is this your first time on a space boat as well?
worstsongever: (It's okay you can tell me)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-09 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
No, I toured the Barge of the Semi-Damned a few months back, this is all old hat for me.
