For all the complaints about magic things happening this doesn't seem that bad. That flood thing? [Duke lifts both hands palm-upward and shrugs, the quintessential "I dunno" gesture.] Weird, but from what I can tell we made it through all right. Which isn't to say it doesn't suck to be here, just that there are worse conditions to live in.

[Ah, the naïveté of a new passenger.]

A skating rink, for instance. How many prisons do you know that have those? Or a bar, or a spa. In most places you'd be lucky to clip your toenails, let alone broil in a sauna. If you're Norwegian, you're automatically disqualified from answering.

My point is, what's missing? What do you still want that isn't here? There's got to be something, all of you. Yeah, even the wardens - I'm looking at you, guys.

...Back home, I had eyes on most of the streets in my city, one way or another. I had reach way beyond that, too.

I miss that.

Not sure how I'd get it here. Tried to install cameras, once, but the Barge had other ideas.

[hearrrtofgold]

Cameras don't work here? There are cameras on the communication things. Too bad you can't rig up extras and set up a live feed.

Or you could invest in a network of tunnels equipped with peepholes.

You know what the fuck I want.

[Gary is sunken-eyed and accusing, his voice a hiss. The lights in his room are off. He hasn't been out of his cabin in three days, except to pocket food and hoard it.]

[impure_tale]

I still long for that stage in the dining hall be put to proper use, but I'm beginning to fear this is not my project to undertake.

[logistical]

Perhaps we desire simply to annoy you.

[This is River's warden. Colour him curious.]

[diealone]

Honestly, at this point, I don't care which one of them showed up.

[Even Sawyer. HE WOULD HUG SAWYER RIGHT NOW.

Not really let's be real but.]

[bodilesswarrior]

Well, they function, technically, but you're going to get footage of eighties cartoons. [Not that she minded seeing She-Ra again, but really not what she was hoping for.

She smirks, then, amusement overcoming frustration.]

Peephole sounds so perverted.

[Dean raises an eyebrow; he doesn't need sympathy. He doesn't want it. And he's not surprised.]

Well what can I say, I'm a natural with words.
