[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?

Uhh....hi? Hello? Do these things glitch, or what?
no subject
No, it's not a-- It's nothing. I just. [Uhhh. Think quick.] Can't believe you're asking what a... lemon squeeze... is. Everybody knows what it is. [Except for Rex.]
no subject
Well, then, maybe you'd like to share with the class. [AND OLIVE they must have missed that day at creepo school. :c]
no subject
[CRAP.]
It's...
A lemonade-flavored alcoholic drink. With. [Hm.] Gin. They were really big when I was in college. All the rage at the... [Losing steam there with your lie, buddy.] frat parties.
no subject
Iiii guess you learn something new everyday. Or. Whatever.
no subject
Yeah. So. [Ahahaha enjoy some fake, tooootally casual laughter.] Now you know. [So awkward.] Welcome to the Barge, try not to get killed, etcetera.
no subject
Woah, wait, gin to death? Can we talk about the death part?
no subject
It isn't permanent-- once your vital signs cease, your body begins to repair itself and you're up again within hours.
Well, not 'up', exactly... There's a prolonged period of dizziness, nausea, fatigue, phantom pains... But it's life. Somewhat.
I thought you wardens were informed of this when you made your deals.
no subject
...And how likely is it, scale of one to ten, that I'll get to see what 'life, somewhat' is?
no subject
Hm. Nine. Eight if you're good at staying out of trouble, but most people here aren't.
no subject
So on average, how many people die a month?
no subject
1/idk

no subject
Aren't there steps to take? Prison cells, or something?
no subject
That depends. Are you about to advocate locking all of us up?
no subject
But come on, most prisons have isolation blocks, or high security zones, and you can't tell me that some people aren't more dangerous than others here.
no subject
There are temporary holding cells. Level 0. But they're rarely employed as a preventative measure.
