[It's Christmas, Barge residents. And as it happens, one of your new arrivals is a Christmas angel.

Well, okay, she's just dressed up as one. Interestingly enough, it was Christmas on her world too, and she just got done performing in a Christmas pageant: she's wearing a white costume robe, and has a tinsel crown on her head. The front of her robe is bloody and dirty, and torn in a few places-- and given how beat-up and damaged her face looks, it's probably safe to assume that at least some of that blood is hers.

Currently she's wandering into to common area on level 6, a bit unsteady on her feet. She's also filming herself, because she found a fancy phone so why the hell not. Soon enough she stops walking and poses dramatically, arms held wide.]

Be not afraid-- for behold, I bring good tidings of... of, uh...

[And then she collapses. So yeah, that's a thing that's happening.]

[She crosses her arms.]

Are you calling me dumb?

How did you get dumb out of what I just said?

You said it yourself-- "If there's anyone dumb enough to think that way".

I was referring to the other inmates, the ones who've been here a while and who should know better.

Oh.

[She still looks skeptical.]

So, what. This is just a big happy group of prisoners where everyone walks away from fights?

It's not perfect, no. People are people after all, but most of the inmates do try to work within the rules. [More or less, depending on the inmate.]

And how do you know they don't just hide all the bad stuff from you?

I'm sure they try. Sometimes they probably even succeed. The thing you should keep in mind, however, is that there are more wardens than inmates. Chances are good one of us is going to find out.

What if some of 'em know and are okay with it? I seen it happen.

I suppose it's possible. The wardens aren't perfect, though, again, with so many of us around we kinda have to watch our Ps and Qs. [Venus does at least. She doesn't want to mess up before she even gets her first inmate.]

So you ain't corrupt, even if some of the others might be.

That depends on your definition of corrupt.... But no, what I'm saying is the wardens I know are decent people. I'm merely allowing for the fact that no one is perfect.

Listen, you'll see for yourself just as soon as you get out of here. This really isn't a bad place.

I never said it was, did I. It's nicer than where I was before. I got a door and everything-- and no roommate.

No, you didn't, but I got the distinct impression you're expecting the worst. [Which is not unexpected for someone who's been in the system.]

Yes, you'll have more privacy and more freedom here. Not total freedom of course but you'll be given the space with which to redeem yourself...or not.

[She just shrugs. She pretty much is, but she also keeps being pleasantly surprised.]

What happens if you don't think I redeem myself? I get kicked out?

I'm not aware of any time limit so as far as I know, you just keep trying until you're successful.

Okay.

Well, I think it would go a lot better and faster if whoever's in charge would just tell me.

When you get your warden, that person will lay out what you need to do but there aren't standard steps you have to take. Every inmate has different issues they need to work through and your warden will work with you on yours.

But that means I gotta wait. Why can't the, uh-- the Admiral? That's his name?

Patience is a virtue, child. Also, you don't really have a choice. The Admiral does what he [she?] wants and does them on his own schedule.

I'm not a child, you know.

[She just acts like one roughly 60% of the time.]
