JAAAAAMES'S ROOOOOM

[stopthat_destro]

[Hi Destro, Rex wants to knock on your door.]

[JAAAAAMES'S ROOOOOM]

[aye_cun_finally]

[James, still fuming from his island misadventure, eventually got up to answer his door.]

What is-

[...Who?]

Doctor?

[JAAAAAMES'S ROOOOOM]

[stopthat_destro]

James.

[This is... slightly awkward, since the last time Rex encountered him like... this... he'd made a complete ass of himself thanks to the V. At least now he didn't have it meddling with his self control. He offered a smile, the same kind he often did after showing off his latest breakthroughs, the fruits of his research.]

I thought you would be interested in seeing the outcome of my latest collaboration. The technology involved was really quite impressive, and the results... [He tilted his head slightly.] You can see for yourself.

[GIVE HIS SELF-RESTORATION PROJECT YOUR APPROVAL.]

[JAAAAAMES'S ROOOOOM]

[aye_cun_finally]

[After his head stopped spinning from this, James stepped aside to let him in.]

I...didn't expect to see...results so soon.

[You'll need to take a raincheck on that approval.]

Food Times: Morning, Noon and Night

[stopthat_destro]

[Ugh, all of you suck. Rex is going to try to find a corner to be secluded in while he stares at all of you and writes notes.]

Food Times: Noon!

[inhumandog]

[Rex isn't allowed to be secluded. Iago, making the "high on V" mistake, sits down across from him and leans forward with narrowed eyes.]

Again, Rex?

Re: Food Times: Noon!

[stopthat_destro]

[And Rex naturally assumed that Iago meant 'again with the surgery?' After all, Rex totally left hints to the whole Barge.]

And why not? One can only be exploited so many times before resorting to drastic measures. [He took a bite of his lunch, totally just showing off that he could actually eat now without difficulty.] You don't think it's an improvement? [Somewhat half-hearted. Rex didn't quite think of this as himself yet.]

Re: Food Times: Noon!

[inhumandog]

[Iago rolled his eyes.]

I don't care what you look like. [He paused a moment to take a drink of water.]

Who did you get it from?

DECK

[stopthat_destro]

[Hey, who's got papers spread out all over as he works on some SCIENCE notes? REX. It's not evil science, really. Just some theoretical Barge mechanics based on deckside observations. Ugh, what a nerd.]

Re: DECK

[failedcreator]

[WHO IS THIS NEW INMATE WITH AN UNFORTUNATE FACE. It couldn't possibly be Rex! It's okay, new inmate. Victor won't judge you based on your Rex!face. Time to loom up behind you all unintentionally creepy like.]

This science is most impressive. [So impressive that Victor has no idea what it is.] You are a mathematician, new inmate?

Re: DECK

[stopthat_destro]

[Hey, what is this shadow over his notes? Rex looks up and a frown flickers across his expression briefly, but it's soon replaced with a smile. So, so friendly and genuine.]

Only on the weekends. [AHHAHA such a charming laugh.] And it's only as impressive as the inspiration. [He gestures to the stars then stands.] But thanks. [Pause.] What makes you think I'm an inmate?

DECK

[failedcreator]

[Victor looks confused for a second. Whoops, he just got caught out being judgmental.] I do apologise. I am aware that there is one with such appearance as yours that is in fact a warden.

[Pause, smile.] I now assume that you are a new warden?

LOL showertime

[stopthat_destro]

[Rex is sort of hovering just inside the entrance to the men's showers-- at a normal hour for once-- kind of afraid to go any further inside. He could always go running back to the Doctor's TARDIS, but no. He wants to be self sufficient now that he's free from life support. Too bad the shower is scary thanks to Perry.]

I feel slighty freakish for tagging this section... NOBODY JUDGE ME

[feverprophecy]

[Jason has no idea what Rex looks like without his ventilator, and probably doesn't care either. He moves very quietly by habit, so he's just. Standing behind Rex for a good two seconds before finally getting WTF enough to say something.]

... I could go in first.

I AM JUDGING YOU SO MUCH

[stopthat_destro]

[ACK. Rex jumps a little and looks behind him, all paranoid thanks to the whole... dying in the bathroom thing. He moves aside, watching Jason, trying to figure out who the other man is. Problem is, the only times they have spoken were during Rex's bouts of insane irrationality, and it wasn't face-to-face, so he's drawing up a blank here.]

Be my guest... I'm just-- I'm. [UH.] Still deciding... which stall to pick.

[SMOOTH.]

AAAGHH

[feverprophecy]

[Maybe at this point Jason should give Rex a look which underlines the smoothness of that response, but, well, it's not irrational to be wary of the showers. Especially if this is Rex. Who, despite the minor harassment, he doesn't really have anything against. So he just goes in, mildly disappointed Hoffman hasn't set up some kind of showery death trap (maybe that's passé now?) and that in fact the room seems empty. He calls back—]

You're clear.

1st Floor Common Room

[stopthat_destro]

[Rex just got Tallahassee's letter about ~Wichita~

So he's brooding like a man in the common room. Watching Anaconda. Idk how he got it after he broke the last disc... Let's say the TARDIS gave it to him.]

Re: 1st Floor Common Room

[inhistorybooks]

[Trip has been summoned through the power of movies. He doesn't actually recognize Rex - although he's vaguely aware that he looks like Arthur - and goes with the new inmate he doesn't know yet theory as he comes over to investigate what movie's playing.]

Whatcha watchin'?

Re: 1st Floor Common Room

[stopthat_destro]

[OH. Somebody he doesn't hate. Rex looks at Trip, then the screen.] Anaconda. [Hmmm.] This movie's so unrealistic.

Re: 1st Floor Common Room

[inhistorybooks]

That's kinda what makes it fun though. [Trip loves horrible horror movies. Also good horror movies. But his standards aren't fantastic.]

Mind if I join you?
