voice; [REVERSE INTRO!]
[upon her arrival, Painwheel definitely had a little bit of an episode. she tore up that welcome basket and flipped her every shit available to be up-ended, and finally inspected the network a little once she calmed down and all the fear and irrational anger subsided—once she realized she's actually in control and she doesn't have to be such a fucking spaz.

it occurs to her, however, that she hasn't properly socialized in a very long time. she's probably bad at carrying on conversation. she also doesn't want to talk about herself. she doesn't want people to see her face. but she wants to know about the other criminals here. she wants to know people like she used to know people. they can't all be bad, right? ...RIGHT??

and so, she's been inspired to make this post!]

...Hello— [her voice is deep and worn, gravelly in its quality, like her vocal chords have been blown out a little.] My...name is Painwheel.

[she takes an unsteady breath in, and manages to push herself forward, a little.]

There's a lot of people here—people who've committed crimes... So I guess that's our common ground, as people... But that can't be it, right?

So...what do all of you enjoy? Who are you? I'd... like to know, I think.

	I'm not very good at video games... What kind do you play? It's nice to meet you too, Yomi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever's around. I like racing games. Have you ever played? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mostly just fighting games, actually. But I've never been any good at them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe you could become better here. The shelter has a common area filled with televisions and video game sets. There's an arcade, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe... It might just be fun to watch people, too. I've always liked that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt anyone will mind, most people here are pretty nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope so. I've already met someone who's a dumb jerk, but even he isn't so bad, I think... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're one of the new arrivals, right? Has anyone offered to show you around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I arrived just today. A-and...no, not yet, but it's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you sure? You'd be saving me from a boring afternoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...I'm a little—shy, I guess. Others have already expressed there's no reason to be worried, but... I guess I should warn you as well. My appearance is a little alarming. I'm not...really too used to socializing since becoming this way, to be honest... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; preserve 2012-05-10 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, don't worry. That's the norm around here. I'm sure you'll fit right in. And if someone screams or gets upset, you should just hit them. [Yomi has all the practical advice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I'd be proving their point, I think. But I appreciate the sentiment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Point taken. Do you still want that tour? It could be a limited time offer! [But, it's obvious from her voice that she's only teasing and it isn't.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; painfeels 2012-05-10 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	...Sure. I'd like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; preserve 2012-05-11 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	Spin around for me, okay? If I see what's around, I should know where you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh—o-okay. That's a good idea.

[she isn't really sure where she is, anyhow. so she turns the feed from voice to video and makes a circle around the (thanks to Painwheel's earlier panic, kind of messy) room, making sure that she doesn't give too much of a glimpse of herself—the camera does catch an ear and a shoulder full of nails, but that's about it before she turns it back to voice.]

Does that look familiar? I can move somewhere else, too...

	[Yomi straightens a little but there's nothing in her expression to indicate anything is amiss, and she keeps her focus on the other end of the feed.] That'd probably help. Do you see a door? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; painfeels 2012-05-24 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'll go ahead and go to the outside, then... [she goes ahead and goes through it, making a sort of uncertain path to the eventual exit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yomi is already starting to move on her side, studying the feed's background to guide her path.] So, do you like ice cream? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; painfeels 2012-05-28 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Painwheel at least knows what Yomi looks like; she's keeping an eye out as she waits at the exit, looking this way and that. she's honestly rather nervous; her heart is racing—or maybe just fluttering. she's anxious, but maybe a little excited, too. it's hard to place. then hey, what a good question.] ...I do. I haven't had it in a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent)
