So we all know each other's... well buried secrets.

Except, I imagine that they're still quite well buried. They all came at once - and unless you put the effort in to go back and read everyone's... it's hard to remember who said what, except the people you were really paying attention to. Especially if you were trying to control the damage someone else was doing, or making huge confessions of our own.

[Warden filter, minus Jane]

Two questions, everyone:

Does anyone have any... technology I could borrow have? Nothing dangerous or lethal. It doesn't even have to be useful. Just anything that post-dates either Victor, or tractors. Some are for him, some are for other purposes.

Secondly, does anyone have... children? Just as a query.


[Filtered to Prefect, Narvin, any other painfully bureaucratic wardens]

Um.

Is there something you need to do or fill in when an inmate graduates? Like... something official?

I'd hate to miss any formalities and you seem the sort of gentlemen who would know.

[Private to the Admiral]

I'd like to change my deal. I'd like, specifically, the following Univisual paints:

[INSERT LONG LIST OF hue-brightness-saturation NUMBERS HERE]

Many thanks in advance.

[Private to Jane]

Victor's going to graduate.

I... I think I might go home. mostly to punch dad.

Stop me, if you want. I'm not sure why, I just feel like... the longer I stay here, the more complacent I get.

I... asked for my deal to be changed back to the original. I supposed that was the less selfish option.

Do what you like with yours, but I'd... please think of Dorien.

Come to my room tonight.

[Private to Victor]

Did you have that conversation with Rex?

And... I hope you don't think I'm too much of a bad man. For... everything with Violet.

[Private to George]

I'm sorry if I was... short with you. I didn't realise that...

Things work differently at home, I think.

[Eddie appears on camera. Smartly dressed as usual, but also wearing his Red Prefect badge as well as his Red spot. He feels like this gives his post some more authority. Because this is a PSA from Eddie. He coughs, and gives a slight nervous smile.]

Hello, everyone! I recently discovered that you can, in fact, visit my world in the CES. Well, the wilderness of my world, not actually... East Carmine... [off topic, Eddie. Back to topic.]

As a result, I thought I ought to warn you all of things you might come across.

[He smiles and holds up a picture of a yatevo - one he's drawn, and it's pretty good, if entirely in pencil. It looks a bit like a giant mangrove tree with a huge, person shaped bulb. There is a picture of an open bulb, laying in wait on the floor, and next to it, a picture of a pair of legs flailing whilst trapped in the bulb.]

This. Is a yatevo plant. Notoriously carnivorous, and a significant danger. I nearly got trapped by one this weekend, but there's a way of escaping. [He puts the picture down,] There are two triggers on a yatevo [He holds up two fingers.] The first is when you step onto it. Do not move after that. It will eat you. Instead, throw a shoe, a communicator [he frowns] as I had to do this weekend onto another part of the plant. That will be a second trigger and you can walk out free.

If you do happen to get caught by one... well, hope you go in face first, as being digested by a plant from the bottom isn't any fun. Not that being digested face first is.

[He holds up a picture of a giant swan. This looks like it's come from official literature, as it has a size comparison with a human. It's at least three, four times bigger than the man in the picture.] This is a Giant Swan, or Cygnus carnivorum giganticus, sometimes called the Whispering Death. They've never been known to land, they just soar around in the air and occasionally decide to... eat people. Regular swans can break your arm, but these are... exceptionally dangerous. Be wary.

There's also ball lightning attacks. But I'm not sure there's much you can do about those without flak towers and patrols, so it seems a bit pointless warning you all. Just don't take a bike.

[Awkward frown. He puts his pictures to one side.]

On a positive note! Don't let that put you off if you end up in my world up there. Go and spot some animals! Make sure you don't get ratfink juice on your clothes, that might end in you being unpopular at dinner and no amount of cleaning can get it out. But spot a bouncing goat, or a Ground Sloth. There's also the squarriel. All sorts of fun things to spot, I swear. Make sure to get their barcodes for me. Taxa numbers if you're brave enough to get that close.

[Hopeful grin]

Just don't lose your communicator to a yatevo. It's not a good way to spend a weekend.

[Private to Jane]

The other Eddie.

Be careful, Jane. Please.

((ooc: if anyone is interested in the weird place that is Eddie's world, or wants their characters to find it in the CES, this is a series of awesome pics and info about those strange animals.))
needshumility: (sorry what?)
Alright, I think... question club needs to happen.

So consider this post an open place to ask questions about the Barge, and to provide answers if you know them - or to discuss ways of finding out the answer. Anyone's welcome, as are any questions.

[Private to Bertie]

What instrument do you play?


[Private to Sherlock]

Mr Holmes, may I ask if you can make a request for the art room?

At home, we can paint in full colour without seeing them by using numbered codes.

Would it be possible to get these numbered codes put on the paints provided in the art room?

[Filtered to Jane, Chromie and Ariadne]

I was thinking of working out a standard series of questions for people who've just woken up from comas. To help us try and find patterns - it's easier if we ask for the same information from everyone.

Any suggestions as to the questions?

[Private to Jane]

I've got a book for this week. Ovaltine and the radiators tonight?
needshumility: (go on)
So... that was a flood.

It all seemed so harmless at first, but it quickly went downhill, didn't it?

I've got a question for you, actually. [Eddie disappears off screen, and comes back with a little piece of card, then holds it up to the camera. The card is a square of orange, much like a paint sample swatch,]

Is this, 37-87-97, the colour of a carrot? Or pumpkin, or apricot? Is it about right?

[Friend filter - Bertie, the Doctor, anyone else he's said 'friend?' to. This is probably the same people as before.]

There was talk a bit back about cricket. I don't suppose anyone's interested in a game still?

[Private to Jane]

I'm so, so sorry I didn't come and get you. I... I didn't think anything I could do would work, and he was trying to lure hero-types out, and I'm beigeing well not a hero-type, but I couldn't come up with a plan that worked so...

Yes. Sorry. Are you hurt?

[pause, he knows how she's going to answer whether she is or not,]

I'll come down. I wanted to talk to you anyway.

[Private to Victor]

Right. I've got something for you to do. Do it, and properly, and I'll give you twenty merits.
