[GODDAMN THAT IS A BIG CHICKEN.]
[Sir Bertie Rooster peers down at the camera from where he's towering over its wielder, tilting his head back and forth as he considers his now tiny Mom. Arkady for her part giggles threadily at his confusion, then squeaks,]
Well! Clearly there's only one way to handle this situation!
[There is a faint flash of purple light, and Bertie suddenly calms, and settles down into a roost. The image blurs as Arkady hooks her communicator to her belt, runs over and proceeds to climb the chicken-mountain with little grunts. Once settled gripping his ruff, she gets out the communicator again and shows the view from the rooster's back.]
Onward, my chikken!
[And off he goes, walking out the door (which had been fortunately ajar) and wandering out into the hallway, occasionally letting out a rumbly cluck.]
Touko dear? Are you all right? I'm coming to check on you.

Some people need me, don't they?

Date: 2013-01-07 04:04 am (UTC)I am mostly checking on your welfare, and I wanted to have a talk with you about upcoming assignments. I don't think you will find them all that unpleasant.

Date: 2013-01-08 01:29 am (UTC)Also, dodging me will only make your stay here longer. It doesn't matter what anybody says--the only way out is through, and you're going to need help with that.
Not that I expect you to believe that. The more inexperienced an Inmate is the more they seem convinced that they have all the answers about this place.
video ---> spam?
Date: 2013-01-08 01:49 am (UTC)technically it's assigned to Omar but lol he doesn't use it for anything. It looks like a derelict house but it's better than nowhere to hide. She'll try to come back to her own in a few hours when she thinks Arkady might have given up.]spam
Date: 2013-01-08 01:57 am (UTC)Oh, now you're just being childish. Not to mention very rude. [Enormous bite]
[munch munch]
Do you really believe that you're going to get anywhere by running away? Not here. He decides when to let people go. I couldn't even send you home myself.

Date: 2013-01-08 02:11 am (UTC)So it doesn't matter what I do. People disappear at random.
[She's heard people asking around about Natasha, among a couple other rumors. Nobody wanting to sit with you at lunch means you learn how to listen, and here for once it's about things she really needs to know.]
If no one's getting hurt, I don't see why you care.

Date: 2013-01-08 07:13 am (UTC)[Bertie wanders over, following sprinkled cookie crumbs.]
Well first off, situations like this aren't all giggles. Second, you're my first priority on the Barge and so I must make myself available. And third, I would care anyway. Though I understand you're not really used to that.

Date: 2013-01-09 01:37 am (UTC)It isn't sad. Most people want to get out of this prison. Even your kind, none of them are happy here.

Date: 2013-01-09 05:53 am (UTC)I'm afraid that you still don't understand. Until the Admiral restores you to life, you can only leave for a few days, and that is if we dock at Port. The people who disappear....
...well, they disappear into death. They're gone. They don't go home. They don't go anywhere.
The only way to leave for good is to convince the Admiral to restore you to life. And no one can convince or force him to do that before he considers it time.

Date: 2013-01-10 04:39 am (UTC)If I was dead, I wouldn't know anything, or I'd be somewhere a lot worse.

Date: 2013-01-11 03:24 am (UTC)[She sighs and shakes her head.] Maybe you wouldn't be acting this ridiculous if you remembered everything clearly. Maybe I should start there. With what you've been forced to forget.

Date: 2013-01-11 04:06 am (UTC)Did she get me into trouble I don't know anything about? She had to have, and you know all about it.
Tell me what you know. Do what you say your job is.

Date: 2013-01-12 08:14 pm (UTC)If you want, I can let you read your file. It has your history in it. But what would really work is restoring your memories entirely so you can see, feel and understand for yourself.
Oh Touko, I may get angry at you but I feel terrible about what you have gone through. If you do get back your memories I wish we could do it a bit at a time. It is your mind and your decision, but I worry.
spam
Date: 2013-01-13 04:10 am (UTC)But what else can I do? Let you inside my head?
spam
Date: 2013-01-13 05:55 am (UTC)Technically you could come inside my head and have a look from there. It might be more comfortable for you.
[The chicken peers up at her and boks. Hey, I'm here too!]
Re: spam
Date: 2013-01-13 06:03 am (UTC)I'm sure there's plenty of room in there. [The malice is almost a reflex rather than intended.]
spam
Date: 2013-01-14 02:05 am (UTC)I suppose we'll see.
[The room goes white for a moment, and then turns into what looks like a hippie crash pad with various baskets lining the walls. In the baskets are various chaotic stacks of papers which rustle and rearrange themselves occasionally. A large old fashioned television gives static and quiet white noise. On the couch facing it Arkady sits, pair of chickens on lap, glowing faintly purple.]
Here we are. We can look at your memories from here.

Date: 2013-01-14 03:05 am (UTC)What is this?

Date: 2013-01-14 11:06 pm (UTC)If it's what I know, how does it get in your head?
spam
Date: 2013-01-16 05:17 am (UTC)Not only do I know from your file, but I can use the connection between us to communicate and know things. Right now you could do the same with me, if you so chose. Go ahead, if you want.
spam
Date: 2013-01-16 05:27 am (UTC)Don't believe my file. [She accidentally sends.]
