[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?

That's...kind of cool. I mean, I could've used an info pamphlet, but you know. Awesome.
no subject
I am actually working on a pamphlet right now! But for the moment it isn't finished, so I do my best to tell newcomers things they need to know in person! For instance, do you know about the floods?
no subject
Uh, yeah. I can expect to either die or turn into a man in the next few months. Sounds awesome.
no subject
Yes the floods are... unfortunate, but unpreventable. What about ports?

Uh - so, what is that short for?

I like to keep it something of a secret, though. It's a boy's name where I'm from, a little embarrassing.
[This is true, but actually? Anyone named Chronormu is definitely a Bronze Dragon, and that's not getting out as long as she can help it.]
