He's a good man. I'm not in his hands, though. That's just the Admiral fucking with people.
He believes, same as me, that this place is shit and we all need to be properly armed and know how to defend ourselves. So that already puts him head-and-shoulders above most of the fucking boat.
You'd think. But he loves it. He's not really human, he just looks it. And I guess what would be patronizing to humans is more of a thoughtful gift for werewolves.
He's good at getting under people's skin. Very personable. Wolf leaders need to make sure everyone's happy to protect their pack, it's kind of a known trait.
So you're saying he was just feeling me out, making sure I'm not a threat to-- who? Oh, Pagan, probably. Yeah, I could see that. I definitely felt like we were circling each other a little bit.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that no one is willing to fucking stop evil when they see it and just automatically defer to this shit system a faceless necromancer set up.
The point is, we shouldn't be playing into his game. Wardens and inmates make no sense when you look at how fucked up some of his chosen people are and how some of his 'inmates' are literal children.
And you have the wardens who take their 'jobs' so goddamn seriously, they will rip away someone's God-given powers because they've been put in charge by someone who shouldn't be in charge in the first place. And then there are the wardens who get defensive when you stop evil from happening in front of your eyes because, oh, you didn't tell their warden instead of stopping them from committing atrocities.
Or maybe you have the ones who feel that 'their' inmate has been appropriately punished and it might be a blatant miscarriage of justice, but fuck it, they're the warden so they intrinsically know what's right.
What's going to happen to you, Misty, if you're murdered by someone here and their warden says "oh they've been punished enough" and your murderer walks up to you and spits in your face?
Yeah, that's pretty much how things go around here.
I've been lucky enough not to die here yet. But you know I was tortured here, once?
And my torturer is telling everyone that I traumatized him and I'm not allowed to be near him because he gets panic attacks.
I'd say a punch in the face is a fair exchange for getting strapped down and carved up like a chicken but I'm supposed to just let that die.
And you know, if this ship weren't so fucking small, maybe I could go somewhere else and move on. But I still get to see the little shit every day at breakfast.
And that's just one incident. I've had others. And I'm one person who hasn't even died here yet.
It's not on other people to tell you how to feel about something when you can't even get the fuck away to process it.
What was I saying?
Oh, yeah - Lark.
So Lark's different from a lot of the ship because he knows this warden/inmate shit is stupid and arbitrary.

If you want him to like you, bring him a chew toy.

Re: audio
How's it feel to be ignored by someone like that? Find yourself wondering just why the fuck they're still walking around like you don't matter?

Right? I don't really care about how he was or wasn't punished, but I don't get the whole "move on, don't talk to him, it meant nothing to him" thing.

What other incidents have you had? And who tortured you? How long ago was it?
