[ For now Dirk is staying holed up in his cabin trying to get his bearings, reading through old entries on his communication device. Most of what he skims is completely meaningless to him, but he gets the basic idea.

Prison ship. Rehabilitation. Ha ha ha, yeah, no. ]

I'll spare you the "You're a bunch of big meanie kidnappers, I want to go home, woe is me", as I'm sure you've heard it a million times before, but know that the sentiment is there all the same.

I do have a few questions, though.

- Where, exactly, is this ship?
- What constitutes "rehabilitation"?
- Is there some kind of new prisoner FAQ available? Guide to prison life? Anything like that?

That's about it.

[ Maybe an hour or so after his post, he finally gets his shit together enough to leave his room and look around. Might as well learn everything he can about this place.

He can be found everywhere. Yes, everywhere. Well, everywhere inmates are allowed into. Okay, not other people's cabins. Most places, then. He's just walking around, snooping really, giving off a vibe of aloofness and devil-may-care-ness. ]

welcome aboard bb, if you've been backreading you know who I am yes?

1. she's in her own pocket of spacetime which moves through the larger web of realities. often we touch other realities. these are floods and breaches which vary from the amusing to the excruciating. occasionally both at once.

2. it's different for everyone. broadly speaking it's a place in your journey where you come to an understanding of how your life became fucked up, and how you can move through it in a less fucked way in future.

3. Chromie has a pamphlet! It can be read here.

[First and foremost, Cassel watches Dirk on the network. Iris is talking to him - and while Cassel still isn't exactly talking to Iris, she does tend to get a quick read on people. He trusts her. Sort of. Mostly.]

[After that, he observes the snooping. He can first be spotted in the gym, where he works; then, later, in the dining hall, where he can be caught glancing away from Dirk once or twice; finally, he's smoking on deck, where he finally stops pretending the observation isn't going both ways. Tipping his chin up in acknowledgment, he grins, like - what are you gonna do?]

Hiya. Welcome.

Did you have a guide to your old life? Just curious.

[ Kara always noticed when there are unfamiliar faces. She doesn't know everyone on the barge, but she hears their voices and sees their faces often enough that they all seem familiar. Dirk is, naturally, an utter stranger.

She smiles. ]

Hello! You must be new.

I'm sorry about that. The kidnapping part. [She's been there, bro.]

But try to look at this as an opportunity. I know it's difficult, right now, but you can use this place. It's not perfect, but it's helped a lot of people.
