So. I'm your warden, for the next month. Is there anything you desperately need?

[malicing]

Since I am likely to acquire an arm by other means, tea would be nice. {Also hello.}

[major_rawne]

Tea, I can do. Is there a specific type you want? We have a lot.

I can bring a thermos of it to your cabin.

[malicing]

Peony would be nice. {Suitable for a Jin!} Any floral tea will do, however. Thank you.

[Brooklyn relies on his public appearance on the network the other week and goes ahead and uses the video function. Even if his newest inmate doesn't dig the monster thing, they can get that out of the way first and move on.]

Hiya, it's wardening time.

[Yes, he is making a Power Rangers reference, bless him. At least it's only for his own amusement.]

I'm Brooklyn and I'll be your problems guy for the next couple weeks.

[malicing]

{Monsters don't bother him. He is one, after all, though he doesn't look like one.}

Greetings, Brooklyn. {He bows to the feed, hands clasped before him.} May I make a request of you?

[defenderofthenight]

[He's not judging yet, but the very precise request puts him in mind of a few sneaks of his acquaintance.]

Go for it, and we'll see about whatever you need.

A-Yao... Can you come to my cabin?

[ Someone is very, very depressed. ]

Private audio

[malicing]

Of course. What happened?

{He can hear the difference.}

[bringingdowndisaster]

I'll tell you when you get here.

shortly after pairings (apologies for the delay)

[brokenallthelaws]

Hey. Checking in to see what you're looking for out of a warden, this month.

{Text}

[malicing]

My sword. I want it.

{Text}

[brokenallthelaws]

Is it just a sword, or does it do anything fancy?

[captaincricket]

Hello again! We've been temporarily paired this month, so if there's anything you need, let me know!

[malicing]

How fortunate! I was wondering if you could find any candied fruit for me. {This is important.}

[captaincricket]

Try the commissary, perhaps? [No it isn't.]

[everswirlingtoilet]

Yo. I'm Nick and I'm your temp warden for the month. I assume you know how this works so I'll spare us both the tedious details. Unless you really want the tedious details and in that case, I'm pretty sure there's a pamphlet you can read.

Anyway.... If you need something, just holler at me. If you don't need anything, I suppose you can still holler at me but that's totally up to you.

[malicing]

Salutations, Nick. I wonder if you would have a cup of tea with me? I need more ingredients. I prefer the floral blends, but any will do, honestly.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Never been much of a tea drinker myself but sure, why not? And if you're looking for something other than basic tea, this space station we're currently docked at might be a good place to look for more exotic blends.

Action

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ There will come a knock on Meng Yao's door, surprisingly subdued for Xue Yang. When the door is opened, Xue Yang will simply walk inside, eyes red-rimmed from crying and with a look of utter despair on his face. ]

Action

[malicing]

{Yao opens the door immediately, frowning when he sees Xue Yang.}

Chengmei...? {He steps back to allow the other man inside, closing the door behind him.} What happened?

Re: Action

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ There is a new sign above Xue Yang's head as he enters: Can't stop pining over a man who hates him. ]

He's leaving. [ His voice sounds dead and hollow as he drops down onto Meng Yao's bed. ]

Voice

[withintenfeet]

[ They're two days into the curses when Zerxus realises he hasn't reached out to his inmate yet. Hey may or may not punch a wall when this strikes him, but nothing in his voice reflects that: it's steady and soft, out of sheer force of will. ]

Meng Yao? This is Zerxus. I'm your warden, for now, and I'm sorry I didn't speak to you earlier. Are you all right?

Voice

[malicing]

{Meng Yao is on death's door, bleeding from his eyes. No, really, this is a lot of fun! Thank you, Baxia. His voice shakes when he answers - but he does answer.}

...sick. What is causing this?

Re: Voice

[withintenfeet]

Fuck.

[ It usually takes him a bit longer to start swearing. ]

Some kind of magic, I think, but it's effecting people differently. There are - a few things I can try that might help you, if you're all right with it?

[ But he's going to switch to video, just so Meng Yao isn't surprised by the horns, or the armour, or the fact that he's covered in blood. ]
