[The video feed cuts in on Alice sobbing softly. Her eyes are red, her cheeks are wet - she's been crying for a while. She opens her mouth and tries to speak, but the words stutter out before she can say anything coherent.]

I'm sorry - I'm sorry, I just -

[The video goes black. Alice reappears ten seconds later, marginally more composed but still ( Read more... )

paddy. sucker for upset women. christ_onabike June 13 2010, 12:16:34 UTC

...you alright there? I can fill you in on some fucking basics in a sec, but first thing's first, calm down a little, take a deep breath, and don't fucking worry.

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 15:20:23 UTC

Ah, right. I lived in Manchester. What did you do, then?

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 15:27:30 UTC

I was a researcher at UCL. Cosmology.

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 15:30:24 UTC

Oh, a fucking academic type. We don't get too many of those.

Okay, so this might sound fucking dumb, but what is Cosmology.

preferably in about three or four sentences, not an academic ramble.

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 15:43:52 UTC

It's...

I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting to be having this sort of conversation.

It's the study of the universe. How it works, how it's affected by physical laws like gravity, how it came into being...what might happen in its future.

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 16:15:44 UTC

Ah, right, sciencey business. I bet this is really fucking confusing to you then.

But we've got several sciencey types around here. I ain't one of them, as you've probably guessed.

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 16:30:10 UTC

I suspected. Just a little.

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 16:35:57 UTC

It's alright. I'm not fucking educated that much or anything. I'm a warden, though, and if you need owt, just bother me. I'm about.

I'm also in charge of the kitchen here, if you're looking for something to do.

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 16:44:24 UTC

The kitchen?

I...I suppose it would be better for me to have something to do, wouldn't it?

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 16:47:26 UTC

I know there's other sciency bits you can do, but I don't have a clue how that works. Talk to T'Pol, I think.

But, as far as jobs go, kitchen's best you can do, promise. And your warden's gonna make you get a job later, better get one which doesn't involve cleaning up shit, right?

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 16:50:16 UTC

Yes.

How does this work? Are there different shifts, or...?

Re: Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 16:53:42 UTC

Yeah, there's breakfast, lunch and dinner. I supervise the last two, and Iroh does breakfast. I'm thinking we're lacking on breakfast or lunch... you choose which one you'd like.

Voice unduly_pitiless June 13 2010, 17:02:42 UTC

Lunch. Please. I'd like to help.

Voice christ_onabike June 13 2010, 17:05:24 UTC

Grand, lunch it is. Come down about 11ish, I'll show you how we do. I'm the big sweary Irish guy. As you've probably heard by now.
