I'm not feeling musical. Go me. I'm going to play cards in one of the common rooms if anyone wants to join in. If you want to sing about what cards you've got, I guess I can cope.

[Private - Prefect]

Kay reckons that the barge is getting to be more like an actual prison. I guess that's true, but I don't understand why he'd start to do it now. I can't see anywhere in my journal that says changes like this have happened before. Am I right or am I missing stuff?

[Private - Cassel]

I met your friend. So, what are you doing there? Just making alliances or have you got something more specific in mind? [Real friends, what are real friends?]

[Private - Kon]

I don't know you, but we need to talk. It's about Cassel.

[Yeah, he saw that. Way to show your hand, Chris.]

If I had something specific in mind, I'm not sure why I'd share it with you.

I'm going to take that as a soft yes. I'll leave you to it, then. Too many cooks in the kitchen and all of that.

Also, you've noticed around here getting grimmer and more prison-esque, right?

You should stay away from him.

Yeah, I noticed. Any impressive insight for me?

I will. I have to admit, I was tempted to go and tell his warden that he'd been telling all the inmates stories about him, but I thought that you wouldn't approve.

I reckon that it's the start of a port and not the kind where we get to sunbathe for a week. I don't really care what else you're up to, but don't try anything until this has blown over. The last thing you need is to be locked up in zero when a zombie apocalypse hits us.

Also, do you have a warden yet?

My favorite thing about you is how hard you work for my approval.

I'd get to check off another square on death bingo, though. And yeah, his name's Kon.

It's always on my mind. [These blatant lies. :c]

The moment that you start beating me on that is the moment when I electrocute myself with a microwave while being tied down to some train tracks.

That's why you're the best big brother in the world. [Blatant lies.]

God, did you not pay attention to that post at all? Any one death only counts for one of the squares.

Well, until Philip shows up, I'm the only one you've got.

Seriously? So I'd have to get run over by a train, get a microwave dropped on me in the infirmary and then wake up, again, only to get electrocuted?

Cassel Sharpe, you run a hard game.

We met once before, sort of. I was in Dean's body awhile back during the flood that swapped us around. I was his Inmate before.

Anyway, you're right. I was planning on contacting you shortly myself.

[Hopes Barron's time on the Barge has helped him deal with the various emotional manipulation that they all put each other through. Otherwise, things have the potential to get very messy.]

Oh, huh. Yeah, I remember that.

Yeah, I guess you probably know that I'm Cassel's brother and that our relationship isn't great.

That's yeah...that's one way of putting it.

[Love to the point of hysterics, memory wipes, forcing people into assassination, turning loved ones into cats...someone is going to be taken with a grain of salt until he can do some comparing and contrasting with Dean.]

Yeah, I'm a master of the understatement. But things did get really, really messy. But I want you to know, it's not fair to blame Cassel for the things that happened on my account. It's also not fair to get on his case because of how he acts. I know the sarcasm can be pretty hard to deal with, but it's just his way of coping. Our dad and Philip dying really messed him up, you know?

It sounds like the both of you have been through a lot. Honestly, sarcasm doesn't bother me that much. I mean, I could do without it but it's manageable. That being said, just because someone feels a certain way or has had certain things happen to them, it doesn't mean they are free of responsibility for their actions.

[Personal responsibility is his mantra.]

I know, man. You won't believe how much I know that's true.

But the thing is, Cassel's already had a lot of bad experiences with cops. They've arrested people in his family, blackmailed him and tried to control his entire life. That's all in his file; you can check it if you don't believe me. So you've gotta keep that in mind when you talk to him.

What are some good ways to get through to him if I'm worried about something that he's dismissive of?

Honestly, the best thing you can do is give him space. If you respect his boundaries, he'll come around in time.

[Which Barron has... never done himself. Ever.]

[She shows up in the doorway of the common room, hovers there.]

I haven't been singing so far either. Hopefully it's not contagious.

What kind of card games did you have in mind?

[Barron looks up from where he's been building a fairly lack-luster card castle.]

Wow, someone actually showed up. [He laughs.] You know how to play spit?

[And a pause.] The singing probably is contagious, I'd say. But I bet that no one's died because of it yet.

Don't say that, you'll ruin it!

[But she's more amused than aghast as she sits down.]

No idea. Teach me?

I don't know. I don't think real prisons have especially narrow corridors? But I've never actually been to one, so... I don't know, maybe.

These kinds of changes haven't happened before, no. I think you're up to date.

I don't really know any card games, but I'd like to play, if you wanna show me.

Well, the one's that I've seen in movies do.

Huh. Weird. What do you reckon is going down?

What, no card games? No even one? Poker, blackjack?

I don't know, exactly. It's probably not permanent? But I'm not sure.

[Pause]

Don't worry too much about it, Comrade. I'm sure we'll be all right in the end.

I've played Poker before? But I don't really remember how it worked. I was... There was a lot of alcohol.

[And cocaine. You're lucky you showed up after his cocaine days, Barron.]

We'll play some poker too. Also, Cassel's new warden is probably gonna come and talk to you about me.

Yeah, we should probably talk about some stuff, I guess.

How's Cassel settling in?

Disturbingly well. He's already made some little friends.
