I don't know what's more concerning: that I was affected by that flood, or that I wasn't all that different. At least I don't need to apologize to anybody this time.

[Private to Perry]
I see your file got longer. [Not that he didn't already know you went home, but still.]

[ooc: sort of had an unannounced hiatus last week, sorry. Assume Arthur was flood affected-- Cobb and by extension Mal were reduced in his life, so Arthur was more of a criminal and had no concept of totems, thus he thought this was a dream and had no way of knowing it wasn't. He laid low and did research on the barge and people on it. If you want to assume an encounter, we can work something out!]

[This is quite a while after Arthur's post goes up and very grudging.]

So?

It's just interesting, how much you can accomplish when you disappear.

Want to tell me what happened before I read it?

No.

You're going to read it anyway. It wouldn't make any difference.

Sometimes it helps to lay things out on your own terms.

I said no.

Fine.

Moving on: how do you feel about working the kitchen?

Do I have to?

You need some kind of job, and the kitchen has the biggest need.

What if I say no to that as well?

Then you'll be seeing a lot more of my face.

[What's it to be, Perry? MANY MEETINGS WITH ARTHUR, OR A JOB?]

I don't want to be in the fucking kitchen. You got anything else, hoss?

Why not?

If not the kitchen, then where do you want to work?

I don't know, but I can't cook and fuck dealing with everyone's crap about the menu. [That and being a non-monstrous human being is hard. :c]

Half the staff can't cook; they manage. Look, we need people, especially now. Breakfast and lunch are barely getting by.

And just why the fuck is that my problem, exactly?

Because you live here, and you still have to eat.

Doesn't mean I've got to cook for everyone else.

Yeah, that's not a convincing enough argument.

Kitchen or we meet for two hours every day. Your choice.

Fuck off, warden.

[And whoops, he's breaking the connection.]

[Oh, we're doing this again. Arthur starts the feed up again with:]

You have ten minutes to come back before I go to your door.

[He comes back, but only for:]

I won't be there.

I'll wait.

[Nothing but silence. Sorry, Arthur.]
