Haven't been here all that long, I guess, not like some people. But some of you guys have been here a long time, right?

Has this ship been taken over before... you know? Or taken apart? It doesn't sound like it, but... it's not something you might want to talk about.

[tadwizard]

Yeah, it has.

[dovehearted]

[ Perfect. She knows who you are, and you are easy to get talking, Tony. ] Like how? You've been here a long time, right?

[tadwizard]

Different ways. The same way never works twice, though so that's something. I've heard the Admiral fixes whatever gets used to do things in the first place.

[dovehearted]

... oh...

So it's the kind of people who just try to take the ship, right? Don't try to get past you guys?

[tadwizard]

Well, they do try to get past us, they just usually...go crazy and torture people once they get control of the ship. Except that one time when some wardens took over, that turned out okay.

[dovehearted]

[ wait what ] Thought you guys were all right with this place.

[ Lies, but she doubts he'll see them for what they are. ]

[tadwizard]

Not really...that's why the deal's needed.

[dovehearted]

So you... don't really want to be here? [ All innocence. ]

[tadwizard]

We're on a ship where every few months something terrible happens and everyone dies, or a bunch of people die. So...no.

[dovehearted]

Just you, or...?

[tadwizard]

I only speak for myself. Ask other people to get their opinions.

[dovehearted]

What do you think, though?

[tadwizard]

Probably a lot of people don't like it.

[dovehearted]

Must be pretty important if you want to stay so long.

[tadwizard]

[Insert intelligible noise here.]

[dovehearted]

[ She's not going to keep going further; if Wanda catches this there might be some hurt feelings. ] It been more or less crazy since I got here?

... that was a couple days before the other Barge.
