I suppose turning off communications for a fortnight is as close as one can come to a holiday around here. I trust you'll forgive me for falling off the face of the, ah, Barge. After spending two years in this place, I felt a break was long overdue.

Anyway, it appears I've missed some departures, as well as new arrivals. Since introductions are in order, I'll begin: I'm Major Henry West. Welcome to the Barge. You've been promised salvation, no doubt, or perhaps a favour from the Admiral. I could tell you myself what to expect, but I'm sure you'll find out well enough on your own. We're about overdue for another crisis, after all.

[OOC: LOL I KNOW THIS IS BAD FORM, but I'm going to bed. Tags will be returned uh. When I can get to them.]

Private - AND DOUCHEY WEST. What a pair

No apology is necessary, really.

[West pauses, himself.]

A pointless gesture wrought with emotion. Expect righteous indignation from the wardens and his friends, should that occur. I'm sure they'll consider it your duty to love your betrayer.

Private - BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

I'm prepared for it. It's happened before after all and I am very used to playing the villain.

Only this time, I have truly done nothing wrong other than protect myself against a man whose loyalties are in question. I did not lay a hand on him, and I said no harsh words.

The fault lies not with me.

Who was the man who told him, if you don't mind the inquiry?

Ah. And somehow, I'm not terribly surprised.

The strange part? He wanted me to do it and then turn around and blame it on him.

The man's motivations have never made any sense to me. Did he simply wish for you to agree so that he could tell Judas?

I'm not sure. He seemed strangely interested in our relationship. And sometimes seemed to want me to trap into saying that I was...not fit to be with him? Something of that nature.

I suppose I do owe him a small debt for showing me how Judas truly is.

I don't see how that's any business of his. Nevertheless, now you know with certainty two more people you mustn't trust on the Barge, and with minimal loss. Better to find out now than when it truly matters.

Can I trust you, West? Should I be trusting you?

That's a question only you can answer. I can tell you, at least, that I would never go to a warden before an inmate.

A admirable quality. You've never done anything to take that trust away, West. But still...it's a terrible blow to have to question things you thought you knew before.

Private

From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
Agreed. And that's all this place seems to do. There's no salvation, only the dismantling of who you are.

I'm tired of my beliefs getting shattered every few months. Frankly, it's exhausting.

The optimist in me still holds out hope for a permanent solution to that.

Which would be what?

If I knew what it was, I would have done something by now. As it is, past attempts at changing the system here has failed. Something more... polished than a riot is what we need.

You cannot control a group of people once they've reached that state.

But I can't discuss this part of it here. I'm not sure what is being read from my side and what isn't.

Precisely. [LOLOL West learned that the hard way.] It all falls apart when they become... riled up like that. Hardly different from animals.

After the dust settles, what would you say to a meeting in person?

You know I won't refuse.

Then we'll be in touch.
