[AUDIO: Eddie sounds like he might be fatigued or hung over.]

Why the fuck is there a shark in the level five common room?

[ooc; Still on hiatus, but around most of today/tonight and then back June 1. Please note, there is a shark. Eddie is not lying.]

It was Warren Sharpe's pet. He stayed on the ship when Warren left. He's kinda cute, when you get used to him.

[acertifieduser]

Warren Sharpe? Who's that?

[ichoosefight]

Oh, crap. I'm sorry, It's Warren White. He's been gone for a while. He used to be a member of organized crime in Gotham, called himself the Great White Shark. At least, that's how I know him. He used to be an inmate here.

[acertifieduser]

Clearly you didn't know him that well.

[ichoosefight]

Clearly. We had maybe one talk about how much he hated dolphins before he left.

[acertifieduser]

You didn't like the guy?

[ichoosefight]

I didn't really care one way or another. The only thing I had to go on was that he didn't like dolphins. Like I said, I didn't really know him.

[acertifieduser]

Who are you?

[ichoosefight]

Stephanie Brown, warden extraordinaire. And you?

[acertifieduser]

Eddie Spinola.

[ichoosefight]

I take it from your stolid silence you're an inmate.

Why so startled by the shark?

Private.

[acertifieduser]

You're such an elitist about your position that I'm automatically an inmate by not announcing? Are all the other wardens like you?

Because it's a fucking shark and this isn't an aquarium.

Private.

[ichoosefight]

Generally on a ship where you're one or the other, you specify during an introduction. It's common courtesy. It's like going to a joint high school reunion and not saying which high school you're from.

Did you know there's a forest upstairs? It's not an arboretum either.

Private.

[acertifieduser]

I don't think it's like that at all. If anything, it's more like merging companies and not announcing which one you're from -- but it doesn't matter. Or it shouldn't, except to your employer. So, yeah, I'm an inmate, but I don't see why it matters except to my warden. I'm not murdering anyone or anything. Hell, I haven't even left my room in a few days, so I don't know how you can accuse me of shit.

It's not a forest. It's a.. thing.. that changes. That's different. It's magical. It fits here. You have to admit a shark is pretty fucking weird. Or maybe you don't. Maybe it's a warden thing not to admit fault.

Private.

[ichoosefight]

I'm not accusing you of anything. Although you're being so sensitive, I'm starting to think maybe I should.

It's useful information to have, you know? For example, if I liked you instead of feeling mildly insulted by you I would know to ask if you have a warden to take you off ship next port, or to ask if you want to go to the CES or the pub if you're having a hard day, because I know you can't go on your own. Your sense of prejudice is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Private.

[acertifieduser]

I'm not being unreasonably sensitive and I'm not being prejudiced. You're just being a bitch and I'm responding to that. I already have wardens to take me places if I want because I'm a reasonable guy when people are reasonable to me.
