[After a few days, Tiffany checks herself out of the infirmary. They were willing to let her go-- except for her teeth, she's mostly healed up; even her bruises are gone-- and she was starting to feel stir crazy, so out she went.

Except now she doesn't know where to go. She knows there's her cabin, but she doesn't want to spend all her time there-- it looks like a Litchfield prison bunk, so it's not the most comfortable place around. She's new, so she doesn't know the best common areas to hang out in. There are a lot of doors, but most of them are unopenable to her. So she wanders.

Despite her bravado and argumentativeness, the things people have been telling her since she arrived-- that she's dead, that she was chosen to be here, that she's here to make amends-- are getting to her. She doesn't fully believe them, but she can't completely disbelieve them either. If they're right (and what if they are?), everything she thought she knew about God and faith and atonement has been turned on its head. There was that man-- that Catholic-- who'd tried to help her reconcile this with what she believed, but it hadn't worked all that well. She's relatively new to her faith, and without someone spoonfeeding it to her, she's shaky in it. She's used it as both a comfort and a crutch in the past, and now she isn't sure that she has it at all anymore. She doesn't know whether that makes her feel depressed or furious; she doesn't know whether she wants to punch someone or curl up and cry. She isn't ruling out doing both.

Predictably, she finds her way to the chapel. Finding a Bible in the cabinet, she sinks down onto a bench and flips through it aimlessly, barely taking in what she's seeing. She tries the trick of opening to a random passage a couple times, but it only ever seems to be just that-- random. Sadness is the overwhelming emotion here-- sadness, confusion, feeling alone and lost. When a teardrop or two lands on the pages, she doesn't bother to brush them away.

At some point, she also wanders into the dining hall, circling the room and poking around for something to do. It's not time for a meal, but the cafeteria was a popular place to hang out and relax in Litchfield, so she figures it might be the same here. Unfortunately, she's leaning towards anger right now, and she's spoiling for a fight. That's not a good thing, on a prison ship filled with inmates just like her.]

Then that's your choice... but you might be here a while.

And you'll still get a warden eventually, whether you want one or not.

[Which is all well and good, but..] Then you're gonna pay double, because you'll probably go right back to where - and when - you came from, no matter how long you stay here.

Unless you graduate, and make some kind of deal to change that.

[So. Uh. Motivation?]

As far as I know? Whatever you want - provided the Admiral agrees.

But only wardens get deals. And if you want to be a warden, you've got to graduate, first.

It's not about letting you.

If you graduate, you'd have earned it.

Well, I didn't go to school or get any training other than a one-week stint in boot that I barely survived back in 1943, so... We're probably about even.

Yeah, but do you expect to stay in prison forever? That sounds pretty boring, to me.
punched_hitler: [tfa] (i got this)

Plus however long you're here. What do you plan to do when you get out? Not shoot anybody else, I hope.
punched_hitler: [ce] (doin' pretty okay)

[Not surprising though, either.]

Now you've got some time to think about it, at least.
