Day 223 | video - open
[ the feed clicks on, showing a very consternated young woman. and then off. and then on! off! on! off! betty has no idea what she's doing, but there's a switch and she's flipping it back and forth angrily because she can't tell whether it's on or off and didn't pay as close attention to her welcome speech as she should have. ]

Stupid, bloody -- [ off. on. ] -- piece of -- [ off. on. ] -- even is this -- [ off. on, steadily now that she's taken the damn thing off and looked at what she was doing. that helps! but now she looks like she's about to cry and is trying very hard to be stiff upper lip about it. ]

What kind of prison gives you some comic book gadget, anyway? [ she takes some deep breaths now that the battle of the weird head thing is over. deep and calming, leading to an awkward pause as she realizes just what was on that list of crimes. now she's afraid and offended. ]

You know, that list of crimes is a bunch of bunk. If they think building bombs to stop Hitler is a crime then they're a bunch of Nazis!

[ probably (most assuredly) not the best first impression, but the feed clicks off again before she has a chance to fix it. ]

	Er... well. If they are corporeal beings, none of us has ever seen the wardens outside of our contact with them through the kiosk. They have the bots and other things to help enforce their rules, but the wardens themselves, we've never seen. They seem to be some form of Artificial Intelligence. Most of the time I try to stay out of their notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ this face now is a face of complete inability to fully understand. 'artificial intelligence' sounds like an insult, not a threat. there are a lot of questions she could ask, but she settles on one she figures she can grasp right this moment. ] What happens if you do get noticed?

[Martha notice Betty's face.]

I'm sorry. That was a lot of words that you don't understand. But as for getting noticed, I think it depends on if it's good or bad. They don't seem to care much when you're acting correctly. You get points for doing good things. But when you do bad things you get punished. And you can get in trouble for stupid things... like getting hurt.

	[ betty smiles, a little limply, and shakes her head. ] I'll figure it out eventually. And if all I gotta do is be good, then I should be fine. Can't be that hard, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just... make sure you know all the rules. Some of them are really dumb. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-06-18 03:20 am UTC (link)
	How dumb? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like, if someone punches you in the face and breaks your nose you get in trouble for getting hurt kind of dumb?]. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guess I better avoid any fistfights. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-06-20 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Fistfights, tripping over your feet... And if you do get hurt, come find me first. I can hopefully save you a trip to the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a nurse, too? [ an easy assumption, because she is not exactly from a time kind to a woman's (any woman's) upward career mobility. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-06-24 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Well, I'm actually a doctor. I live in a more... progressive part of the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Progressive sounds nice. So long as you know what you're doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been through lots of school and tons of field work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A good combination for a doctor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-07-01 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Yes, it has been fairly helpful. [The phone beeps that there's an incoming call. Martha assumes it's another new person, and she doesn't have much else to say right now.] It looks like you're not the only one to arrive today. Is there anything else you need from me at the moment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-07-07 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	No. [ she shakes her head for emphasis. ] But, thanks. For the help and all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
