1.1.01.01.001: due regard for the well being of others.

[There is an awkward, stiff cough, and a shot of the eighth floor common room. A young, very smartly dressed, man appears on screen, and he straightens his tie, then offers a small wave,]

Hello!

This remote viewer is tiny, and... well, I never thought a remote viewer could watch you. Fascinating! [He grins, a touch nervously,] So if you're watching, hello! oh, I already said that...

I'm Edward Russett, but you can call me Eddie. I'm not quite sure whether this is the equivalent of Useful Work or a Pointless Task, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Who are the local Prefects? What're they like? I imagine I'll be the Red Prefect here.

[awkward pause whilst he ponders whether to ask or not, then he directs the camera to a lightbulb nearby]

This is going to sound silly, but can I have some lightglobes? There's no natural light in my room. I... [slight nervous intake of breath. Dammit, night terrors.] I need a source of light.

...useful what?

is this video, btw?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Work. It shouldn't be an odd concept, should it?

Let's go for it.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

...no, I don't think it should.

[his brow furrows] You a warden?

Re: Let's go for it.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I'd be worried if it was.

I am. Are you?

[He's staring at you, by the way, Hoffman. He can't help it.]

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

You know Prefect?

...I have a few extra candles if you need them.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I know... several Prefects.

That would be really helpful, thank you.

[paaaaaaaause. Slight peer.]

Are you Previous?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Oh. Must not be the same. I can bring them by later. [Then...her own pause.]

Previous what?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Who is the Prefect here? What colour are they? I... should probably talk to them.

[oh, this is awkward.]

You... look like the Previous. Tell me, this is important, what colours can you see?

[video] more previous than Previous?

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

What's a Prefect, other than a slightly odd but otherwise sweet other warden on this ship? [He isn't actually wearing any red so I don't think anything would stand out hugely.]

Re: [video] more previous than Previous?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

[still staring a little,]

You... don't have Prefects? The Council? People who enforce the Rules and issue merits and demerits?

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

Some wish that we did, but no, we don't. This is a rather chaotic little ship of anarchy.

Welcome aboard. [Armand doesn't mind the staring. Lots of people think he's odd, especially the clothes.]

Re: [video]

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Anarchy? That's always what they told us the previous wo...

[Oh, right, yes.]

Thank you. What's your name?

[It's a good thing that Four is convienantly wearing his ridiculously burgundy outfit (http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/3/3c/K9_02.jpg), isn't it.]

You're another Prefect? Well, you certainly seem a tad more anxious than the one I know. Can you play darts?

And as for a source of light, I can easily bring in a lamp or two if needed. I'm sure I've got one sitting around the TARDIS somewhere.

Re: video

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

That's a very nice coat.

I... can play darts, but I'm much better at cricket. I'd like to meet this other Prefect, though.

I've had an offer for some candles, but the more light, the better, so thank you very much.

Re: video

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It matches the scarf perfectly.

Mmm, I don't think Prefect knows about cricket. Anyway, if I see him around I'll point him in your direction.

Where's your room? I'll bring the lamps by soon.

Re: video

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Very, very elegant shades. The scarf is quite exceptional.

He doesn't? That's a shame. Thank you. What's the Prefect's name?

I'm currently in the common room on the eighth floor; if you could bring them here, that would be most appreciated, sir.

Oh, forgive me, what's your name?

[toldastory]

Welcome aboard. I'm Martha, a warden here and the head of the infirmary. You can ask the Admiral if you need more light in your room.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you're one of these doctors too?

I'm not sure how he could provide natural light when we're in space and I'm several floors down, actually, but I've got some lightglobes and candles now.

[toldastory]

I am, yes.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Do you use these... hypospray things the other doctor talked about?

Video

[failed-bluff.livejournal.com]

[Because Eddie's lingo is the only thing he really cares to comment on at the moment.]

The hell is a Prefect?

Re: Video

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

It's... someone on the council. They enforce the Rules and can demerit you.

[strangehistorian]

Hello, Eddie! Welcome to the barge!

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!

[Winning smile]

What's your name? I'm pleased to meet you.

The pleasure is mine! My name is Chromie, I'm a warden here.
