Are you all right, ma'am?

[cauchemal]

[Oh, hell. Posting at all was clearly a mistake. But Mal pastes on a smile all the same.]

For the most part, yes.

[bob_fraser_snr]

[Doesn't believe that for a second. But he can't do anything about it from this distance.] All right, ma'am.

[cauchemal]

You sound as if none of this is too unusual to you.

[bob_fraser_snr]

I am a graduate from the Barge. I moved on.

[cauchemal]

Ah. You are fortunate, then, sir.

[bob_fraser_snr]

Well, now I am.

[Private]

Inmate, ma'am?

Private

[cauchemal]

Yes. Some four or five months now.

...may I ask you something a bit personal?

Private

[bob_fraser_snr]

Yes, of course. [He did ask if she was an inmate and that's personal.]

Re: Private

Where did you go when you graduated? Were you given a choice?

Re: Private

[bob_fraser_snr]

I moved on, to the afterlife. And it wasn't a choice given to me as such, I just knew where I wanted to go and there I was.

Re: Private

[cauchemal]

I see.

Thank you. The only other graduates I've been able to speak to are, of course, those who remained behind. You are the first I've spoken to who has left.

Re: Private

[bob_fraser_snr]

Well, I hope I helped.

Re: Private

[cauchemal]

You did. Thank you.
