13 ⚓ Video ⚓ For having wasted his substance and been so foolishly disrespectful to yourself

[CW: marijuana use]

[Warden filter, backdated to yesterday]
[Scene: Duke's cabin, the main stateroom. Focus on Mason, sitting at Duke's coffee table and studiously smoking a stolen joint. Duke narrates, his voice weary and irritated.]

Does this belong to any of you? He answers to the name Mason. And before you ask, I didn't invite him in or give him that.

I'm this close to carrying him out of my cabin, but I don't know who to deliver him to.

[ you know that voice moms use when their kids won't stop dicking around in the aisles at the supermarket, and they're so embarrassed but they know they can't like, yell, so they practically hiss, but in a really dark and scary way that makes living through your worst nightmares seem like a day at the faire compared to how it makes you feel? ]

Mason!

[Mason stops short in his whining and shoving at Duke - who has him by the arm by now - to freeze like a deer in headlights]

Gwenny?

Gwenny, it is not what it looks like, I promise you.

It's exactly what it looks like.

I am so, so sorry. I can come get him, if you want.

Not your fault, though that might be good.

No, no. Breaking into someone's room? That is not okay. When I gave Iris the okay to let you smoke, that was not saying it was okay to steal it from other people, I-

Why?

I don't know. I don't fuckin' know why, I've got a problem an' I need help for it an' this fuckin' wanker won't let me leave his room.

Tell him to let me go, Gwenny. Tell him I'm sorry for stealing his stale blunts.

I repeat: I don't care what you took. I care that you came in here without permission. Normally I like surprise visitors, but I expect them to knock.

I did knock. No one answered.

Because I was gone for, what, twenty minutes?

...around there, yes.

Coming back later is always an option.

Well, it doesn't matter now, does it?

Gwenny is picking me up. You have to let me out of your room.

And I will. When she gets here.

I don't even know who the fuck you are.

What's going to happen?

We're going to all talk about this and you're going to leave with her.

Am I in trouble? If I'm in trouble, do you make me leave the Barge?

Pretty sure you don't.

You're in trouble if she says you are.

But I won't be made to leave the Barge.

Good. That's very good.

Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell.

I don't want to go back.

It's nice here. I'd like to stay here. Despite all the fucked-up things that happen.

Oh. Yeah, no. I think the worst you're getting is yelled at.

So you're not going to hurt me.

No!

Oh.

Well, that's good news, then.

[ o-ow. she's not sure if he's even being honest with her there, but it still tugs at her a little bit, like any cry ( he's not crying, but that's not the point ) for help. she doesn't think she's easily manipulated or anything, but it pokes at the part of her that wants to help people. all Gwen ever wants to do is help. ]

You stay put. I'll come get you, and we talk about it, okay? We'll talk. I'll be there in a couple of minutes.

I'll stay put. I don't think he'll let me leave anyway. He's very strong. Deceptively strong.

You're lucky he didn't kick your butt.

I grabbed his arms and pushed him on the couch. That was about it it.

Nah. Benny was the one who did that.

[Sure enough, Mason is sporting a split lip, though it's no longer bleeding]

I miss my healing.
