I brought up a bit ago that there was a distinct lack of good stories to be told here. I've been attempting to summon good ones myself, but it is difficult.

There is one definite source of pleasant thoughts with me. There was a young man here with a number of problems, but I think also with a great deal of potential. The last words that I spoke to him, I did so while he was slumbering and never had a chance to say them aloud. I deeply regret that. He was in a Barge coma at the time. Many of my favourable experiences on board involved him, though at the same time, many of the harmful and horrifying ones that others experienced also involved him.

But he gave me hope, hope that some people such as the ones that caused my universe infinite grief could improve. I saw him improve. He didn't graduate, he was cast out soon after he woke from that coma. But the potential? It was there.

It may do us all well to remember that someone that causes harm to their friends, their people, their world... They can eventually realize they're also capable of bringing someone infinite happiness. A sense of contentment that few out there get to experience. You don't need to be perfect to do that, to command love and loyalty. To make someone be appreciated. You need not even graduate. Just recall the people that bring you pleasure are far more worth your time and investment than people you dislike; it's a great expenditure on people that you would care not be around, anyway.

[Private to Castiel]

I need to discuss your inmate with you. He was murdered prior to you retaining him, and it doesn't speak well to a man with insecurities in the justice system if people don't represent him fairly. I'm also guilty, as I was just recently informed that my inmate was one of the individuals implicated in the act.

So, I was wondering if I might speak with him, [and oh god, he knows it'll be a creepy, creepy place, and Richie's memories might be unreliable and rewritten to suit his fantasies, but he must be sure] and if I have permission from you and him possibly look at what he saw.

*OOC: Tonight will be the first night of the dream plot. It'll probably only go on until the 10th, but that should be plenty of time without it getting too stale.

[Considering he's just done tossing the Tragic Implements of the last flood overboard-- some universe is going to get some very nice black velvet hangings and a portrait and a locket-- he's even more reluctant than usual to talk about it. So there's just a -]

...

[What is this, strange message of awkward silence. He will hazard a response.]

Helloo?

It's just an interesting point you raise, doctor.

One that I don't think anyone wants to consider. It's so much easier to lash out and wound things that you hate and fear. Even I'm guilty of that.

True. And the other can be so difficult.

So.

[Subject change ahoy.]

I haven't been able to see much of Arkady lately. I wonder if you know how she is.

[That last paragraph gets Narvin a little bit. He's long known that he's not always the best of persons, and that but for the ~~grace of god~~ whim of the Admiral he very easily might have been brought on board as an inmate instead, as Braxiatel had. He came to the Barge quite convinced that the idea of him ever making someone happy was impossible, patently absurd. Even his "friends" on Gallifrey didn't exactly like him. And now, nearly two years later, he's married. He supposes that proves that the Doctor is right. Even destructive wretches can turn around and discover that they can give someone real happiness, and that they enjoy doing so.

He'd have to be a lot less sober to tell the Doctor any of that, though.]

[Obviously he must get Narvin drunk again. Much more likely an event now that Braxiatel is graduated.]

This is some Dr Phil stuff right here. [A post on the journals gets to you? Cover it with bravado!]

Who's Dr. Phil? [Sometimes things are just... lost in the cultural divide.]

The guy with the talkshow who fixes people's problems?

Does it actually work? Or is it mostly for show? [He has no clues. None.]

This is why you make such an awesome Warden and why I'm just so happy you're Jesse's. That was really well said, Doctor.

I could stand improvement...

But couldn't everyone.

Actually, I have a question for you. An important one.

Alright. [Swallows hard.] What is it?

Jesse's been implicated in Mr. Gecko's death. I need to investigate the matter further, whether it occurred prior to me being a warden for him or not.

Nice theory. It only takes one person not minding their own business to pop that bubble, though, and I enjoy being a pin.

Edited 2012-05-02 16:48 (UTC)

[He knows you enjoy being a pin, Arthas. He knows that it's not true, either. That Arthas genuinely does make Sarah happy. That Drake has, and still does, love him on some level.

So he opts not to respond.]

[ooc: ugh sorry it's taken me so long to get to this.]

I am aware of his circumstances prior to becoming my inmate.

How can you see what he saw?

Edited 2012-05-02 19:58 (UTC)

I have a very particular mind that's capable of looking very deeply into the minds of others. Much more deeply than surface thoughts or emotional waves.

Are you human?

I'm a Time Lord, on his seventh regeneration.

[Faith's gonna be nonresponsive here, but she's listening; and she hopes like hell he's right. She may have already made up to some extent - she's a warden, not an inmate after all - but struggling to make up what she did? Particularly during times with B, where she just seems to make things worse?

It's a struggle...

She's just going to go back to bartending while she mulls, though.]

ooc: Hope you don't mind - it was too good and apt a post for her NOT to be listening in, but I couldn't see her responding right now. ^^;

[He just hopes that someone out there was listening. More than Arthas and Stildyne. But he can't say for sure.]

*OOC: It's perfectly fine! I love me some introspective comments.

[She is; she's sure others are too. She might be a little quick to call bull on speeches, but... This is something she has to believe. It's part of what keeps her going.]

ooc: Introspection she can do! Just so long as she needn't share with the class. ;)
