[Oh my God, it's Chuck! But he doesn't look too good. He seems panicked, and he's clearly wearing a hospital gown (which does in fact close in the back). If anyone remembers his curly mop? Yeah, that's gone now, and in its place is a rather professional-looking haircut. If he were wearing a suit, he'd look like a different guy entirely - but the

A new arrival, this late in the month? Interesting.

[He doesn't sound particularly concerned about Chuck's agitation. That would be because he's not.]

New...? No, I'm a warden here. How long have I been gone?

[Aaanddd he checks the date.]

Three months?!

[betrayalswager]

... You didn't know how long you were gone?

[Curiouser and curiouser.]

It was just supposed to be for a few days. Or a week at most. Man, I hate this ship sometimes.

Yeah, Arkady warned me about it. I guess I'm not affected since I returned in the middle of the flood. She said it was something about oversharing?

[betrayalswager]

It's removed the inhibitions of those affected, yes.

Who is Arkady?

[scruffynerdhrdr]

The nice...bald...British...lady.

[betrayalswager]

Ah, her. I don't believe I've yet had the pleasure. I'm sure I will soon enough.
