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?

I was asking because I don't know, buttt yeah. That's what I think.

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going with that. It's probably some alternate universe crap anyway, so it's not like I would know.
worstsongever: (heh.)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-11 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
What, innuendos don't carry cross universally?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, if it did, all of you would be so uncomfortable right now.
worstsongever: (Wow that sounds ridic)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-11 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
None of you are wearing gloves. It's ridiculously awkward.
worstsongever: (Holy shit what just happened.)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-11 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, you're going to have to do some more explaining on that one.

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
God, you were clearly all raised on a hippy commune or something. Gloves. You wear them. So you're not naked. Ring any bells?
worstsongever: (Wow that sounds ridic)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-12 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
No, no not even a tiny sleigh bell. Naked hands are....what, taboo for you?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's just not done. You'd have to be an idiot to walk around like that. If the police didn't get you, a worker would.
worstsongever: (Say what now)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-12 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
And....why is that?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Working, magic, whatever you want to call it. It's done by touching hands against skin, right?
worstsongever: (Do you actually know people like this)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-12 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You might want to take a step back. Magic?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
By magic you mean working. You know, like luck working?
worstsongever: (lol what)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-12 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no I really have no idea what you're talking about. We don't really wear gloves where I'm from. It's too hot.

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
It's never too hot for gloves. That's like saying it's too hot to wear a shirt.
worstsongever: (Woman said what.)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
...Not where I'm from. Why do you keep your hands covered, exactly?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
People use their hands to do magic. If you have your hands covered, you can't do magic.
worstsongever: (lie explosion is go)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-13 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Magic. That. Okay, magic. That is kind of awesome.

How?

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
How can you do magic or how can you not do it with the gloves on?
worstsongever: (heretofore known as Superslut)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-13 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Both. Definitely both.

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
For doing magic, you're either born with it or you're not. Wearing gloves means that you can't use it because you can't do the skin to skin contact needed to make it happen.
worstsongever: (lie explosion is go)

[personal profile] worstsongever 2011-06-13 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. See, I'm learning lots here. What kin of magic? Is it different for everyone? Everyone who's born with it, anyway.

[identity profile] sharpememory.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
It varies. There are five broad types. Luck, memory, emotion, death and transformation. Although I'm pretty sure there are literally no transformation workers now.
