I'm sure that those who know her have already realized this, but Petronilla is off the barge. She has been for a while, actually. Since the middle of port. But she will be back! So you don't have to worry!

Do people at home know...

I mean, is it possible for them...

Hm.

Re: warden filter

There is a man, Eddie, in my world, who I've spoken to twice while I've been here. Do you remember when the networks were all...strange...and we could talk to different people?

Re: private

[greatlightother]

No. If it was a trap, I wouldn't have been allowed to stay here for over a year and a half.

Re: private

[needshumility]

...hm. Yes.

Sorry about that. Just... worries.

Re: private

[greatlightother]

It's alright. No need to apologize.

It's something I worry about, too.
