[Those who know Arthur fairly well may notice that he sounds a TOUCH less uptight than usual.]

You know, I really didn't need this much of a break between inmates, Admiral.

Since my schedule will be open for at least the next two weeks, I was wondering: anyone looking for a running partner?

[Time Lord Warden Filter]
Rassilon wanted a little bit of home cooking. I don't see any problem with indulging him, but all I've got to go on is: "Grilled tafelshrew with schlenk sauce."

...

I can't even begin to understand what that is. [Arthur thinks tafelshrew must be a rodent of some kind.]

Is there anything in particular I should know about Gallifreyan cooking? I'd like to know what I'm talking about before making a request to the Admiral and the kitchen staff.

[Private to Tyr; Stealth Filtered to Eames]
Still in need of help with your inmate?

[Private to Rassilon]
I'll put in the request to the kitchen soon. I can't guarantee quality; once it's in their hands, it's out of mine. [Pause, then with some amusement:] Unless you want to cook it yourself.

[Private to Capa]
[There's nothing for a while, then he clears his throat.]

I found your socks under my couch.

[OOC: PADDY AND OTHER KITCHEN FOLK - This post may be updated with a weird request for Gallifreyan cooking, depending on the response from the Time Lords :V]

Just trying to stay in shape. Plus, it's relaxing.

I've never seen running as relaxing.

So how do you let off steam?

I don-- Yeah, I need to find something for that. I usually confront the problem head-on.

That doesn't always help with frustration, I find. But it's not a bad habit to get into.

So, you run to let out frustration?

No. But it helps if the two happen to coincide.

How often do they coincide?

A lot more often here than back home.

It looks like a tough place to be.

It's not that bad most of the time. You came in during a... [His voice takes on some wry amusement:] rough patch.

[She pauses for a little bit, wondering if she should apologize for the way she's been acting the past few weeks, what with all the crazy that's been going on.]

Could I ask you a few questions about the Barge? Or should I come ask in person?

Either one works for me. It depends on the questions.

Are most months like this past one?

Some are worse than others, but that was the worst it's been. Usually, there are at least two weeks between killing sprees.

The killing sprees are usual here?

Let's just say they're more common with some inmates than others.

My inmate doesn't have--- [she pauses and hmm that file has disappeared.]

Her file's gone. It was just sitting here.

Welcome to another aspect of Barge life. [He sounds a little regretful, because man, it hurt him when that happened to Mindy.] Did you even have a chance to talk to her yet?

No. [Ariadne sounds a little more than confused, if not a little flustered by it.] I just received it. Why would it just disappear like that? Was I supposed to write it down?

No, it-- [Well, this sucks. He hates to be the one to break it to her.] It means she's gone. She's not your inmate anymore; she's not even on the Barge.

[There's a pause from her end. A long pause. When she speaks, her voice is mostly steady:] You know this from experience?

Yeah, twice.

I'm sorry.

It's something unavoidable here. I'm sorry you had to experience it so quickly. [Although a part of him wonders if it's for the best to lose them before you get a chance to connect.]
