Death on a First Date

This might be an unpopular question, but... plenty of people have said that the person they were was nothing like them at all. Did anyone have the opposite? That they were someone quite familiar. Perhaps how they used to be in the past, or how they'd be if something seemingly insignificant never happened, or did happen?

I'm also wondering whether everyone was like that, and people are just denying it. [That strike was obliterated.]

I've never been more grateful for spotting inefficiency in queuing. Nor for East Carmine. Nor for Pointless Tasks.

So yes! If you... could see some of yourself in the person you were, perhaps it might be good to share what you're grateful for that made you like you today. Inmates too. It's better to be yourself and know what made you that way than to be... a drone of the Collective forced to be something else.

I'm coming to see you. If you don't want me to, say now and I'll stop.

[Private to Victor]

I'm sorry about that. Even if that wasn't... the you I know, I'm sorry.

There's something I'd like to show you.

[Private to George]

I think, generally, we have enough difficulties around here with floods like this.

So when... when everyone's alright, I'd like to take you up on your offer.

If you're alright.

[Private to Una]

Are you alright?

If you are, I'd like to show you something. About what we discussed before.

[pause]

I don't suppose you can get me a bacon sandwich, can you? A merit and... [bad habits] Never mind. I'll repay you some how if you can.

In Mister Spinola's unfortunate absence, I'd like to start work on looking into the disappearances here. If anyone would like to assist me by providing information, I'd like to talk to anyone who:

a) has had a friend, warden or inmate spontaneously disappear without warning. Especially if you've seen it happen
b) has disappeared spontaneously themselves, and returned.
c) has had a friend, warden or inmate disappear deliberately (so I can compare the two events)

There won't be a similar questionnaire on this, as experiences may vary widely. Anyone who wants to help would be most appreciated.

[Warden filter]

Morning.

I was talking to an inmate recently, and then, in the light of... well, the past few events, I was wondering - how much information do we - and should we - provide to inmates?

We have the reports, which are useful and informative, and I'm sure, contain information that we wouldn't want inmates knowing.

But say... those instances when wardens do something wrong, or something happens that's already incredibly public (Doctor Nazarova, for example, or the incident that's just passed) - what should we tell the inmates? Is it okay to say 'something's happened on the first floor'? Is it okay to say 'something's happened on the first floor and three people are hurt'? Is it okay to tell people who those three people are? Is it then okay, if, say, a warden did it, to say 'A warden hurt three people on the first floor and we're punishing them for it'? Is it okay to mention the name of that warden?

I'm not really suggesting anything. I just know there's nothing more annoying than someone saying 'I can't tell you that' and having legitimate questions unanswered. But I've also noticed that... information isn't always freely available; and that's something I only just discovered was a policy about some things (medicine). So I wondered if we had a policy, or at least, any ideas on how much information we provide.

Thoughts, anyone?

This questionnaire is designed to research into the causes of so called 'Barge Comas' by collecting information and using it to either eliminate certain theories, or to find a pattern within the information provided. Nobody is obliged to respond to this questionnaire, or respond to all of the questions, but the more answers provided, the more we can potentially find out.

Please return completed questionnaires in the sealed envelope provided to my room, 8/4, and direct any questions to me - Eddie Russett - in a private message. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

As these questions are of a private nature, I can assure you the documents will be kept in the most secure place I have at my disposal, and all questionnaires remain anonymous and confidential.

[Private to Jane]

I am never reading so many beiging medical texts and the dictionary can go to magnolia for all I care.

So many obsolete words, Jane. Ugh.

((ooc: Eddie... is a bit of a bureaucrat at heart. And is a touch naive and thinks people won't take the piss. I encourage people to do so, whole heartedly. :D. Also, he WOULD have sent this to the coma-investigation team first... but I've only got one day off in which to write it, so can we assume he did? pleeeeeeeeeease?

Also, Eddie has deliberately missed out the infirmary. He has conspiracy theories. Feel free to sell him out to them, though.))
