[Sounding slightly amused, but still stern.] Dear patrons. I'm disappointed to say that a certain item has gone missing from one of our passengers. If you've seen a stray notebook containing yellow legal paper, I firmly suggest that you return it to the library. No questions asked, of course.

[And on to pleasant voice.] And for the rest of you, please enjoy your day.

[People-With-Gloves Filter. If you've been wearing gloves lately, you're included.]

It appears that someone has removed this notebook from my room. It's a manuscript for a novel I'm writing and I'd be very upset to lose it. It would mean a lot to me if it was returned before our next staff meeting.

[OOC: What's going on here: Barron's assumed that he's on some kind of hippy cruise, filled with the bizarre kind of people who don't wear gloves. Which in his universe is the equivalent of being half naked. So he's assumed that he's working here while trying to scam someone out of something and has forgotten a huge chunk of information after using his power. He also thinks that everyone he's seen wearing gloves is a normal person catering to the rest of you strange nudists (so cruise staff members). Finally, Barron thinks that he's lost the notebook where he wrote how he got here and is on a mission to find it. And sorry for the info dump, guys. :c]

Get to know me for what purpose?

He died but did not end up here like the rest of us.

To see more of you, of course.

Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I don't think so.

The inmates who arrive here have all died back in their world.

You can't blame a guy for trying.

Yeah, that doesn't seem likely.

Many have tried. Few have succeeded, unless I sought out their company first.

Unlikely, but true. You're dead as well if you're an inmate.

Yeah, that doesn't really surprise me. Some people find the whole torturing business off putting as well.

I don't know. I feel pretty alive right now.

[Private Filter] sorry for the delayed reply!

I don't torture just anyone. It's hardly something to be concerned about.

So do I. But I'm not.

[Private Filter] No probs. c:

Of course. Do you have any favorite targets?

Yeah, you don't see the logic problem there?

Whoever Lord Rahl asks me to torture. Sometimes I pick a man based on how much fun I think I'll have though.

I do. But I've already gone through the whole "I'm not dead." "Yes you are." when I first arrived. Logic seems to be thrown completely out in this place.

Well, since Lord Rahl isn't here, doesn't that mean that you don't have anyone to torture? Officially?

I'll say. Everyone in this place seems to be worked, to say the very least. I don't know who'd be prepared risk the blowback to mess with this many people though.

Not officially, no. If I ever get bored enough though, there's plenty of people around.

Worked? It's the Admiral who's taken us all here. Good luck trying to find him though. He stays well hidden.

But how would you pick a target? [Wondering for his own personal well being, mostly.]

You can't really stay well hidden on a ship. Does he have a cabin?

I'll pick whoever manages to annoy me the most. Or whoever looks like they'll be hard to break. I love a challenge.

Not that anyone knows of. If he does, it's likely hidden by magic.

Considering how easily you picked apart my lie before, I don't think I'd be a particular challenge for you.

That's possible. Difficult, but possible. [The Admiral could theoretically remove the memory of his cabin from peoples minds and then remove it again if anyone happened to come across its location.]

We'll see. [Best to leave them scared.]

I'd say it's easily done if he's a wizard. Judging by all the ridiculous things he puts us through, it's not unlikely.

A wizard? You do realize that they don't really exist, right? It's just some people who like to make some money off worker mythology.

[Frustrated sigh.] Let me explain your situation. You're dead. You're here because the Admiral wants you redeem yourself for a second chance or some nonsense. You'll be assigned a warden to help you with that. There are other people here and we're all from different worlds. Got it?

You're right. That does sound like nonsense. Where did you hear all of this? What makes you believe that it's all true?

I was told this when I first arrived. I've been here for a few months now. Some people have been here for years. I don't know how else to explain being held captive and forced to pair with a warden who is intent on redeeming me. Not to mention all the other strange things.

People have seriously spent years on this cruise ship? That's insane. You'd have to be crazy to stay here. There's must be a way off though. Some form of escape.

Believe me, I've looked. The only way off is redeeming yourself. It's moronic.

Moronic is putting it politely. Still, this 'redemption' can't be too hard. If they buy that you've changed your habits they'd let you go, wouldn't they?

I think the Admiral knows if you are lying, though I'm not too sure on that. It's worth a try.
