This is boring, really. There isn't anything for a girl child to do here on the Barge, is there?

I suppose that makes sense. I mean, it's a place for dead people, crooks and criminals, so yeah, I understand why the options for entertainment are limited. We're to be punished and all until we repent. But you'd think I could at least get a show on the telly, instead of static. I don't even know why I have this if I can't get any of the channels working. I can't even do much of anything at the gym right now, and I'm not allowed in the pool area, or the pub, don't feel like reading, so what am I supposed to do?

Oh!

That's right! I've got my neph-- that Playstation!



...I've never used one of these before. How do I get it hooked up?

Instruction manual?

He just doesn't want to hook it up himself :c

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It's just a bunch of pictures of... wires.

Poor kitten!

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Well, don't look at me. I'm not exactly the Donkey Kong type.

Who's your warden?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Morgan.

She's a pirate.

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Oh. That one.

Yeah, probably not too much chance of her knowing how to change a lighbulb, let alone hook up your entertainment centre. Maybe they're colour-coded?

We had a somewhat unusual technology blend at my former employer. One I don't think would be too much use here. Not unless you're into spiders, anyway.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Um.

Spiders?

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Let's say they took a slightly more literal approach to their Web access policy, compared to most companies.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

After what I've seen, spiders are nothing.

...




How does that work, anyhow?

You have a PlayStation? Is it a PS3? I've read that those are supposed to be really great when they're finally released...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

PS3?

Nooo. The box says it's a '2'. They made 3?

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

...yeah, they're out in Japan already.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, all I know is this says it's a Playstation 2. That's still good, right?

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I mean, I don't own one, but they're supposed to be good. They're fun, what I've played. My father doesn't approve

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...d'you know how to hook one up?

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

I...

I shouldn't. My father wouldn't be happy. I should stay here.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Your dad's here?

...lucky Fine, I'll get someone else.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

Yes. That always surprises everyone...

Wish I could help you. Sorry.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It's just-- I wish my dad were here, too.

Mmhm.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

I wish mine wasn't

Maybe...maybe you could ask the Admiral? For your father, I mean. Or your playstation, I guess...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'd rather have my dad.

But the Admiral's not gonna give me that, anyway.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

...Rose says he could get me my mom. He didn't when I asked him, but she said he could. He could probably get your dad too.

[lilah-lawyer.livejournal.com]

You really don't want to know.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Alright, then.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

If he didn't for you, why would he do it for me?

I've got an emo character turning into anothe emo character. Go figure.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

...I don't know.

I thought, maybe, the Admiral might do it for someone else. Not me. Nothing ever goes my way, but you're not me...

I never asked for God to choose me...

HAY ME TOO

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I've got about the same problem.

Have some religion, why don'tcha.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

...it's alright. The suffering, I mean. God has a plan and if we're good and do not sin, then he will welcome us into heaven.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Then why're we here? I didn't do anything.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

I...don't know.

I didn't do anything either.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, this is rubbish. Everybody here thinks they didn't do anything.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

But I really didn't do anything! I didn't!

Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't even know who you are! So, I'll believe you I guess.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm Tobias...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh... Alright.
