[Backdated to just after this incident. Gloriously public voice post in which Mal sounds pained and kind of upset.]

Does anyone know how to remove porcupine quills?

Also, I advise everyone to stay away from the sixth-floor common room and the porcupine therein.

[Filtered to anyone Mal encountered during the flood. She's clearly been crying and is distraught beyond words. If you look carefully, you can see that she's clutching her totem in one hand.]

That was not me. I didn't-I'm not like that, I'm not. She was a monster. I don't understand-

[Projection!Mal has a more dangerous light in her eyes than the normal one does these days; she's a lot more like Mal was when she first arrived on the Barge, but sneakier, deadlier, and 100% obsessed with her husband. She's got something of a femme fatale vibe too, and is dressed accordingly in a slinky blue dress. Thankfully for everyone, she is ( Read more... )

[Mal is basically using her communicator like a Dictaphone, thinking out loud at it while she paces. If you listen carefully you can hear her moving about, and occasionally you might hear a soft clink of metal on metal-the sound of her playing with her totemSo that is a "breach", then? I am not sure that I like it any better or worse than the other ( Read more... )

I'm back. Thank you for being kind to my father.

I'll be in the common room on the seventh floor if you need me.

[If anyone comes looking for her or just happens to wander in to the seventh floor common room (the one from which the television had vanished), they will find Mal in the corner of the room, ( Read more... )

[The man gives the camera a smile. His manner is confident and reassuring, despite the fact that he is quietly holding a lot of very strong emotion in check. Not that this is immediately obvious.Good morning. Call me Miles; everyone else does. Now, I learned twenty-odd years ago to never look at my daughter's diary, so although I know where this is ( Read more... )

[Background: This morning, after sleeping off a couple of days' worth of child-induced exhaustion, Mal turned up at her breakfast shift on time, but was moody and uncommunicative and eventually made her excuses to Iroh and the rest of the team and left about half an hour early. She's been moping in her room since, and about midday, she posts the ( Read more... )

[Angelica may have not gotten one of the Admiral's breakfast specials, but what she does get, delivered to her room and left on a tray with a little flower in a vase, is a meal of whatever Mal may have noticed she likes best in the morning. Other little gifts continue to show up throughout the first day of the flood: a book from the library, other ( Read more... )

[Shortly after the flood announcement, anyone on Level 7 might have seen or heard Mal running hell-for-leather for her room, followed by the sound of her door slamming shut. A little while later, the following is posted, all text. Strikes unreadable.]

Iroh, I apologise profusely for the late notice, but I am indisposed and will not be able to ( Read more... )
