I can't be the only person here with a wardrobe full of dry-clean only clothing. Considering the laundry room isn't exactly equipped to take care of it, what methods have the rest of you been using?

[Private to Mindy]
We're overdue for a meeting. Level 6 common room, after dinner. NOT OPTIONAL.

I want you to tell me everything you remember about port. [He figures he doesn't need to specify which port.] In person, preferably.

[Filtered to Miss Parker, added later]
You're on inventory, right? And congratulations, on graduating. I know it's belated.

[OOC: Like so many, Arthur's going to pretend the flood never happened. That's right, he's not even going to give a cursory "WELL THAT SUCKED." The only indication that he's pissy is the fact that, well, EVERYTHING'S TEXT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU JERKS. Also, his hideous solicitation post is now retroactively encrypted-- well, Arthur-encrypted. He's probably decent, but not better than any of the tech types here.

ALSO. He's hanging out in the laundry room right now, sitting on a machine that he accidentally overloaded with all of his bedding ~~because it's unclean~~. Fun Fact: Arthur doesn't actually do his own laundry back home. SO HE IS IGNORANT and has been barely scraping by on the Barge. SO IF YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH HIM, SPAM AWAY.

And sorry for the crap post. I have awful writer's block today.]

Ringleaders can't do much without followers. Have any of the other inmates taken the bait? And thanks. I'm keeping a close eye on Mindy.

Seems like it, but I'm hoping that a healthy population of them won't. Going one to one of them and explaining they're letting their primitive social instincts get the better of them and they're just getting played as cannon fodder for the immortals would be about as well received as a hunk o' horse shit with a bow on it.

You watch yourself and if you have any trouble just give me a shout for back-up.

It would be a pretty sad state of things if the inmates managed better teamwork than us. I'll keep that offer in mind.

Actually I think a bunch of us are on the same team. Just we're worried about bein' offensive. We do somethin'? We're too aggressive. We don't do anything? We're negligent. But one way or another we're going to piss them off, and frankly I would rather not tiptoe if an ax came down on someone's head or some inmate knifed someone in the stomach. Zero's not gonna cut it. But at the same time a fistfight doesn't warrant one being deprived of their unmentionables. Hard middle ground to find and these guys just aren't going to care because they've forgotten how good they got it compared to everlasting nothingness.

If you got a list of things around the Barge your little angel could use to knock one of us off, then I bet it could be applied to what the inmates could use in a riot situation.

We're on the same team out of circumstance. Have you seen a single warden suggestion not end in insults? [He pauses, then adds:] You've got a point, but I can't say I blame the inmates. I'd probably look for a reason to be pissed at the system if I were trapped here, too. It would be a pretty long list. I suggest we strengthen the security in key locations: the kitchen and the infirmary would be the two biggest targets in any riot.

The whole shout out thing.... Which I don't think we did anyway. I must have missed it.

And yeah, they essentially got kidnapped, by a guy that isn't us. Another reason it'll be really easy to play them. But this boat is hard to drive as it is. There's no telling how much training this "Admiral" had to have to operate it, who the people were that made it, and judging from the minimal spillover for a flood I don't wanna see what happens if this hunk of junk falls into the wrong hands, which doesn't even mean "evil". It can just mean untrained.

I think I got someone in good with the kitchen people who can tell me how willing they'd be to put in a little security, especially with all the "hired help" they've been bringing in. I can talk to the people in the infirmary myself. Can you send me that list so I can drop a hint on what they might need on hand to treat the wounded?

[THE SHOUT OUT WILL TOTALLY BE POSTED TOMORROW :C]

I haven't seen any. If you want to see what happens when the Barge falls into the wrong hands, I'd suggest you read back in the network archives. It's happened at least twice. You mean a list of potential weapons?

Time periods that I should look into?

And yeah. I know a lot of basic household weapons, but I'm not really clear on what chemicals are available. I've not had a chance to ask the guy with the scarf and the big teeth yet.

January, last year. August, same year. Okay, I'll get started on it.
