One; Video; Playing the damsel

[thingscomeback]

[The video feed flicks on, and there's Chloe, looking very pretty and rather vulnerable. There's a kind of damsel in distress vibe about her. She's mostly putting it on.]

Let me try to figure this out... [She has been reading the journal entries, so knows where she is and what's going on. She's going to pretend she knows less than she does. The

[Merlin is....kind of a sucker for a damsel in distress. HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY NOW. Doesn't. Pffft.]

I'm Merlin. Hi, Chloe.

Erm, obviously you sort of...get the Barge, but if you want to know anything else about where things are or how things work here, then...please, just ask.

[thingscomeback]

[Oh, Merlin, bb. You should totally know better. :c]

Merlin... You mean-- As in, magic? [She sounds a little awed.]

[Camelot needs to put up Venn diagrams everywhere where the 'crazy/evil' circle overlaps the 'babe' circle by like 90%]

Erm. Yes. I suppose. That is, I'm not the same as in the stories and I'm not an old man - well, obviously - but. Yes.

I-- I don't know really what the rules are for this sort of thing, so I'm just going to ask... What can you do?

[rass_bestie]

I'm Omega.

If you're unsure of anyone, it's probably better you talk to them over this device before approaching them in person.

[thingscomeback]

Omega. Interesting name. [She smiles.]

Is there a reason I should feel unsure?

[rass_bestie]

Thank you.

Well, I'm sure you've gathered that not everyone on board is safe. You seem to be so.

I... mayyy have done a slightly-drunken icon fail on that last post :c

[thingscomeback]

I seem to be what?

[Mal's reaction is basically: "oh look, another nice girl who looks like she doesn't belong here, just like me." Sigh.]

Hello, Chloe. My name is Mal.

I'm an inmate here as well.

[thingscomeback]

Mal. Nice to meet you. [Pause. There's a quiet sadness in the next question:] How long have you been here?

[cauchemal]

Six months or so. It feels like longer, I confess.

[thingscomeback]

Is it that bad?

[thegooddrjones]

Hi Chloe, I'm Martha. Are you alright?

[thingscomeback]

I think I'm okay... I'm just trying to work this out.

[thegooddrjones]

It'll take time, but it'll happen, I promise.

[thingscomeback]

I can't-- [She stops talking, taking a deep breath.] How did I get here? Who decides who comes here?

[you_run_i_chase]

It'll be okay, kiddo.

[thingscomeback]

You think so?

[you_run_i_chase]

Yep. Been there done that, have that t-shirt.

[thingscomeback]

You're an inmate?
