Day 223: Video Closed to Jack, Sam, and Oz
[Private to Jack] [Martha's been keeping her distance from Jack, and aside from the panic of the tentacles and moving prisons, she's seen very little of him. Right now she's making sure he's OK. And reaching out to let him know she's ready to talk if he wants.]

I didn't see you at the other prison. Just wanted to make sure you're still around. I haven't seen you much other than Defense duties. Are you holding up all right?

[Private to Sam] [She never actually told him she solved her werewolf problem and that he probably should stop looking.]

Hi Sam. I just wanted to make sure you made it through the previous few days all right. Also, I should let you know I met the werewolf who attacked me. In human form. And yeah... you don't need to go looking into it for me anymore.

Private to Oz] [Now that she knows what he is, and now that she's still working through her fear of him, Martha also wants to keep up on Oz and make sure he's OK.]

You handling all the random changes OK?

	You do? Oh... Right. Well, his theory that the wardens pumped something into the atmo. Makes sense since everyone was kind of weird that day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sam nods.] The wardens mentioned it the next morning. They said it was another inmate. It could be a lie, but inmates have found ways of doing that before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, for people who claim to have so much control over the place, they kind of suck at it too. Not that I mind the general freedom I have... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-19 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Maybe the freedom is just another way to toy with us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wouldn't surprise me. That or it's their way of clearly hoping we won't do something stupid like rebel. You know, let the inmates think they have lots of freedom and they'll be happy. Cause not many people seemed happy at Squall.

But then again, Squall seemed to run on the same principle as Japan. Keep the prisoners working and they'll be too tired to do something.

Or maybe I've just been in more prisons than a normal person should be.

	Maybe it's an experiment. [Something he's heard from Reid before.] Maybe it's lots of different experiments to see what works best or how we react. [But, wait, what was that?] This isn't your first? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nope. Not my first. [She laughs at the look he gives her before returning to the topic at hand.] It's a very long and very... ugly story. But to cut it short, while trying to stop one alien dictator from destroying the world, I ended up in another alien's prison on earth. We had to work from dawn until dusk making... circuit boards or something.

I'm not entirely sure. I just know that if you didn't, you were shot. And if you were next to someone who was shot, you were lucky to escape with just the butt of a gun to the side.

[She grimaces slightly as she says it but looks up alert again.]

Squall at least gave us some down time. And the food was better.

	[Just listening to all of that.] You've had an interesting life for a long time, haven't you? [Definitely something he can relate to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-07-07 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Atypical, yes. Some good, some bad. The good was very good, so I suppose in the universe's way of balancing, the bad had to be proportional. It was more than adequate in that balance. May have tipped the scales even. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-07-13 04:03 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure the universe is always that worried about balancing. [Sam has had bad stacked on bad since he was 6 months old.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-07-13 04:36 am UTC (link)
	[There's more to his statement, but she's not so sure what. She gives him an even look as though trying to decipher his meaning.] No, I suppose not. In fact, it probably doesn't even care. It's just... when you see it... the universe and all that, it's hard not to personify it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-07-24 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	[Probably best. That's a long, sad tale.] What's it like? Seeing the universe I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-07-24 01:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Her own tale is not so happy either. Well, it starts out happy, but the ending is pretty much of a downer. The Universe though?] It's beautiful. And awful. But mostly beautiful. We went to this place called New Earth. It's an Earth colony centuries ahead of us. [Actually that one had been odd. She was kidnapped...] And I've met Shakespeare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-09 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	...How do you mean Shakespeare traveling through the universe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-08-09 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Well, the man I traveled with... he had a time and space machine. So we could travel anywhere concurrent with our own time, or somewhere in the future or the past. Usually both. But he took me to the past. It was my first trip actually. To Elizabethan England. You know Shakespeare's Dark Lady? That's me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-11 12:16 am UTC (link)
	That's... Wait, it's actually about you? [Give him a second, even with his life that needs processing time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Martha grins as he works through the idea. After a second or two she quotes:] "In the old age black was not counted fair, Or if it were, it bore not beauty's name; But now is black beauty's successive heir, And beauty slandered with a bastard's shame:" He's quite a flirt.

	It sounds like it. I think I have an essay from college I need to rewrite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-08-19 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Have a laugh Sam.] I felt similarly. It was really quite overwhelming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-25 03:42 pm UTC (link)
	[He smiles.] It sounds like you handle it pretty well. All of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well that's good to hear. At least she appears perfectly normal.] It was all a chance to learn new things. Broaden my horizons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You make it sound like being an exchange student. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-08-25 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	It kind of was. Went somewhere else, learned about the culture. I've been backwards and forwards in time on Earth. I've been to other planets... space stations. There's so much out there that we don't even know about Sam! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-08-25 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	I believe it. There's a lot on Earth we still don't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-08-25 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	[She grins and then around.] Ah, I have to go. Have a coffee date. I'll see you around Sam! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
