Day 363 - Open Video/Action
[Video]

[The video opens on a man sitting squarely in view, his bearing better suited to someone awaiting a big job interview than a newly incarcerated prisoner.]

Hello, MarinaNova Asylum. My name is Felix Gaeta. I'd say that it's a pleasure to join your ranks, but I don't want to start off on a lie.

I've been over the information I was provided with on arrival and it left a number of things unanswered. Namely... [a pause to pick up a notepad] ...is all of this really virtual, and, if so, does anyone know where our bodies are?

Do you have a leader or any kind of civilian government?

Is everything here actually free for the taking, or are there strings attached?

[He pauses again, flips a couple of pages, and sighs.]

Maybe this is a better question: do you have an archive or some other collection of information that hasn't been provided by the wardens? No one wants me to go through all of these, including me.

[And scene.]

[Action]

[Gaeta can be found at the library—taking notes, likely—or at any of the many eateries in Marina, admiring the sheer selection available. He won't go out of his way to be friendly.]

	Some of us don't have anything to look forward to at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you weren't exaggerating when you said that most of your home is toast. What happened? [He wasn't going to ask, but it keeps coming up!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-09 04:37 am UTC (link)
	War. I mean, I could be more specific about some of the tragedies but it all boils down to war. [That's not exactly what she'd meant though.] But, also, some of us were pulled out of our homes shortly before we would have died otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-09 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	Nice to know that war's a constant across the universes. [No, it's not.] That would lend some credence to the idea that this is the afterlife. [More importantly...] I'm sorry your prospects are so bleak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-10 05:52 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't take him too literally there.] Don't worry about it. I'm here. I have all the prospect I could want. [Sort of.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-11 03:24 am UTC (link)
	You have all the pizza you could want, anyway. [That's kind of the same.] Have you ever felt guilty about being here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-11 01:20 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs softly.] I don't know. Should I have survivor's guilt or be glad people aren't held against their wills without their freedom? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-12 08:41 am UTC (link)
	I was thinking survivor's guilt, but point taken. Even the worst situations at home come with the illusion of freedom, at least. You don't have an extra cigarette on you, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-12 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	[She gets her pack out and hands him, taking another for herself.] Want to head toward Chill? [Fishing out her lighter as she gets up, not exactly waiting for his response. They can walk and smoke.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-13 06:28 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. [She doesn't need to wait since he's prepared to follow her just about anywhere. Information, food, a cigarette, and no expectations of repayment have earned Kitty a lot of trust. His first drag off the cigarette results in some coughing. This does not deter him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-13 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	[The cough gets a look.] Different than what you're used to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-14 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Extremely. There might be something besides filler in there. [Pretend his eyes aren't watering, please.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-14 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	I think there are a few lighter versions at the shops. [She used to smoke whatever she could find, but she started with Logan's cigars so she doesn't necessarily go for lighter.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-15 05:38 am UTC (link)
	That's sweet of the wardens, giving us a variety of ways to poison our fake bodies. Shouldn't they just cure us of our substance dependencies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-15 12:24 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty sure they deduct rehabilitation points for it to encourage better, healthier behavior. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-16 04:34 am UTC (link)
	How many smoking habits have they put an end to with their points system? [Is the answer none? It feels like it should be none.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-17 02:28 am UTC (link)
	None as far as I can tell. I was almost close to quitting once, but it had nothing to do with their reward system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-20 06:17 am UTC (link)
	What motivated you? Not a sudden fear of lung cancer, I assume. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-20 06:46 am UTC (link)
	No. The guy I was with. He'd remind me of how much life it cuts off and say he wanted to spend it with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-20 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Oh. That's... that would do it for me too, I suppose. [It absolutely would, no supposing about it.] Not a relationship that lasted? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-20 07:17 am UTC (link)
	No...not like it was. [There's still a relationship, but it's changed and improving now, but the security and promise they had was at least temporarily lost.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-21 03:43 am UTC (link)
	But you're still in it? And still smoking. [Trying to understand Kitty's relationship status even if it's none of his business.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-21 03:50 am UTC (link)
	No, we're not together. We haven't been for a couple of months, but we're...talking again. [So maybe something is coming?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-21 04:05 am UTC (link)
	That's something. Have you thought about quitting for good? [Smoking, not stepping back into relationships.] If you've got a chance with someone who cared that much about you... it could be a nice symbolic gesture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-21 04:09 am UTC (link)
	[She tensed some at the initial statement, thinking he means Reid. Not that it wouldn't still be a fair point, but not one she'd be willing to let a stranger make lightly.] I don't know if me being cranky all the time is the right way to go back into it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
