[Heero has been doing his reading, and he is not all that impressed, Barge. Accepting that he's died comes easily enough - it's been a risk he's been well aware of and happy to accept for a long time - but the lack of structure and logic in this place doesn't sit well with him in the slightest.

His voice is almost entirely flat, almost disinterested, and maybe just a little annoyed.]

There's a space fortress called "Barge" where I came from. Somehow I doubt it has much in common with this place.

Since arriving on board, has anyone actually spoken with the Admiral personally? I have a few questions I'd prefer he answer himself.

I've been told you might have technical readouts of the ship.

Comments

[resultofwar]

How often does he reply?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

It's occasional, nowadays; I've noticed a drop in his already minimal interaction with the Wardens and Inmates.

Face to face interaction is practically nonexistent.

[resultofwar]

Outside of initial contact with wardens, correct?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Correct. I see you've been asking around. Inquisitive young man, aren't you?

Perhaps your should bring your questions to a Warden, if you haven't already. If we can answer them-- as we're expected to-- the Admiral likely won't respond.

[resultofwar]

You're assuming I'm an inmate.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

There's a good reason for that.

[resultofwar]

Which is?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

I'll reveal my observations at a later date. Though I won't deny that your personality has something to do with it. [So ambiguous, chuckle.]

Am I wrong?

[resultofwar]

Do you always jump to conclusions after this brief an interaction?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Only to plausible possibilities. The conclusion comes later.

[resultofwar]

Assuming I am an inmate, what weight do your "observations" actually carry? It sounds like you're all fairly focused on the "every man for himself" approach when it comes to authority.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Assuming you're an inmate, minimal. The Admiral is dissociate from the environment he created. Without instruction, while ruling over a group of people, the "every man for himself" route does appeal.

Is there a reason you haven't given me an explicit answer? It really wouldn't be hard for you to say 'I'm a warden', if you are one.

[resultofwar]

It wouldn't be.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Because you're an inmate...?

[resultofwar]

Apparently.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Odd. I only ever play this game with inmates.

[resultofwar]

So I guess this is nothing out of the ordinary for you.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're very astute.

It isn't. This happens at least once a month.

[resultofwar]

I see.
