[Look, it's West! And he's looking a lot... saner than he used to on the Barge. When he speaks, his voice is soft, calm, thoughtful.]

Well, I certainly never thought I would find myself here again. [A pause for that to sink in, then he continues, all business.] Willingly, I might add. And no, I'm not dead, Billy and I are fine, and we've not split up or anything.

[He looks at the camera and offers a quick, polite smile.] To those of you who've not met me yet, I'm Major Henry West-- although you could say I'm effectively retired. [Because his world's DEAD.] Anyway, I'm here as a Warden.

[He pauses, glancing off to the side and making a strange face. SO WEIRD. Anyway, he looks at the camera again.]

Yes. Warden.

[MOVING ON.]

I must admit, it will be strange to be aboard the Barge without Morgan's guidance. [A personal smile.] She always had a certain... flair for leadership. At any rate, she's fine. I saw her before she popped off to her next venture. She sends her apologies for the abrupt departure.

[He thinks for a moment, getting that FAMILIAR LOOK OF EMO, before looking at the camera again and forcing a casual sort of smile.]

Anyway. Who's up for a game of cards? For old times' sake.

[OOC: SORRY IF HIS VOICE IS A BIT OFF. It's been a while. Also: even though he's rehabilitated and everything, WEST IS STILL A DISMISSIVE JERK. If he blows you off, trust me, it's not a personal thing from me.]

It would appear that I've finally found a use for this weasel. She's having quite a time with these things. In fact, I'd be willing to offer her up for demonstrations, in a bit.

After this little infestation has been cleared, I think we ought to arrange another poker game-- this time, without wardens or silly rules about 'no girls allowed'. There's some business I'd like to discuss, concerning the state of affairs for the more... human among us. Now, I am aware that you're not all strictly human, but I believe our goals may be more in line with each other than you think.

[OOC: YES THE GANG PLOT I'VE BEEN ALLUDING TO FOR AGES WILL FINALLY BEGIN. Also, edit in West's public comment was supposed to be there from the beginning; I totally forgot to add it when I was editing in the other filtered bit]

Billy, that film was simply full of senseless violence.

It was incredible.

Anyway, I'd offer to bring the movie next time, but I don't have much of a collection to speak of.


[Filtered to the MANLY (and human) MEN - Are you manly? Are you human? Then you probably fit here!]
I realise that things have been tense lately, but I say we finally get on with the poker game that flood interrupted.
