[Arthur sounds. TOTALLY SEXY. With his sore throat and all.]

I'm back. Looks like Stephanie kept the library in good shape, so. [Clearing some of the leftover AUGHH FLU from his throat.] Thanks.

Oh, and welcome back, Doctor. I'll understand if you'd like to reclaim your position here.

[Private to Mindy]
Awake?

[Warden Filter]
So, what's the protocol for when a warden shoots an inmate? Or, specifically, their inmate?

[OOC: In reference to him shooting Mindy like a week ago with no comment at all. HE KIND OF FINDS THAT DISTURBING. And sorry for the fail post, I'm just sort of easing back into RP, and APPARENTLY MY BRAIN'S NOT READY YET.]

Right. And it affords you some control over your dreams, which is especially useful in the case of nightmares. There are ways of training your mind to lucid dreaming techniques. [AND IF THAT FAILS, there's always extraction.] If you think that'll help.

I guess we could try it? But the Barge isn't really the type to let you remember things it doesn't want you to remember. I mean, I know it's my own mind, but it's not like I'm choosing to suppress it out of trauma. I'll give it a try, but I just don't really expect it to work. I expect to wake up and forget all over again.

Repression isn't necessarily a choice. You could have all the right intentions, but there may be something in your mind that's completely opposed to the idea-- a sort of... unresolved tension that you may not even be aware of. Are you certain it's the Admiral?

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

The person with me couldn't remember either and the only thing any of the memory losses had in common was death.. either people died or saw someone die. Those are the only people that forgot anything and only for those very specific periods of time.

I've done the research, Arthur. If you have an idea to help me, great. If you don't, let me keep trying on my own.. But trust me to know more about the Barge than you do.

[MAN Arthur hates being out of his element. There's an irritated pause before he decides to just push forward.] Does your warden know anything about this? Not the memory repression, but the methods you've tried to resolve it.

He knows a little. A different warden knows about all of it so far, because my warden was absent for awhile and I'm not stupid enough to trust most of the inmates here without having someone to look out for me.

If I had an idea, I'd have to clear it with him first. [And he normally wouldn't suggest this, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE ARIADNE, so you get special treatment.]

Wouldn't you want to clear it with me first? Because if I don't want to do it, there's no use worrying other wardens.

Wait-- do you mean my warden or the other warden?

No, I meant before we tried anything.

And yours, not the other. I don't plan on going over his head.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't really do that whole prisoner thing. I mean, I would tell him, because that's how I am.. but I don't like feeling like I have to talk to my friend to be able to try some new way to gain my own personal memories.

I don't think it's asking too much to be able to talk to your warden before we start anything. That's even assuming my suggestion sounds at all appealing to you. But if you're not interested, that's fine.

Edited 2010-10-18 00:46 (UTC)

You can talk to him if it's in person and I'm there too. That's it.

That's fine. And actually, this talk would be better in person, too.

Why?

[ooc; I'm still on hiatus, because I still don't have the time/energy to commit regularly (did 81hrs at the haunt this week, plus class/homework, plus family stuff).. but I missed you and Kota too much. xD]

Because I really hate using the journal.

[OOC: THAT SOUNDS AWFUL D: Take as much time as you need; I don't mind slow tagging. And I missssss you <3]

Okay.. When are you free?

[ooc; Er, 84 hours. Precisely half of my entire week. Hahahahahaha. /fallsover. It's a nice distraction though, honestly, from the other stuff.. which I don't think I've caught you up on. >>;]

I need to work on some things with my inmate first. A few days? I'll contact you.

[OOC: That sounds AWWWFUL. And whenever you're free, I can start a slowspam for Arthur and Hayley if you'd like. AND NO, I don't think you have. Feel free to text me for anything.]

You should really work on that needing-to-control-everything thing. The Barge really likes breaking those people.

[ooc; I would love a slowspam! I'm free enough; I'll be on most of today/tonight (between homework) too.]

I just like to be thorough.

[OOC: Excellent! I'll put up a post soonish, although I won't be around too much until I get back from some errands.]

I hope so. I admit I'd be a little disappointed if you left so soon.

[ooc; Hoorah. I'll hop onto invi-AIM as soon as I find the article I'm writing my paper on, haha.]

My inmate, on the other hand, would be ecstatic. But I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon.

Trouble with your inmate? I have to admit, it's nice not being the most pint-sized of the Barge residents anymore.

I'm pretty sure she resents me for not dying the first time we met. Or the second time. [Sigh of annoyance.] Or the third time.

Anyway, I'll be in touch.

[OOC: AND THE POST FOR SPAM IS UP but I'm too lazy to link it.]

Good luck.
