[David clicks on the video feed and smiles, polite and somehow a little more genuine seeming than normal, maybe less like he's smiling politely because he feels like he has to, and more because he actually wants to. It's still a little unsettling, because, well, this is David and he's not human, but it's still clearly more friendly than he usually is.]

Good afternoon. As we're currently experiencing a flood, I felt it wise to offer assistance to anyone who feels they may need it.

In other news, we're currently lacking any inmate assistance in the library, so if anyone would be interested in volunteering, feel free to contact myself, Chromie or Arthur to arrange something.

[Private to Sandoval]

Mr. Sandoval, I believe we should arrange a meeting whenever is convenient to you to discuss our current plan of action regarding your rehabilitation and future graduation.

[Private to Chris]

I trust you're following the doctor's orders to ensure a speedy recovery?

[lost_humanity]

Why? What good will it do?

It won't bring any of them back. I'm quite content in staying here. [He's not been strapped to a table and tortured in a month! It's ~novel~.]

[Private]

[secretasshole]

As a warden, you could make a deal with the Admiral to reverse what happened. And there's no requirement for you to return home even after that goal was achieved.

[Private]

[lost_humanity]

I couldn't. Whatever is human left in me- they were right... it's gone. If there was something left, I would still have a planet. If I can't save all of their lives, it's impossible to save one.

[And he still would be more inclined to make a deal that would leave both the Taelons and Jaridians burning.]

[Private]

[secretasshole]

I don't believe that's true. And obviously the Admiral doesn't, either.

[Private]

[lost_humanity]

He's a madman who makes mistakes. That much should be obvious from his driving.

Speaking of which is there any idea what the flood is?

[Public] 1/2

[mistconduct]

Yeah, I-


....Hang on a second.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

...



HOW THE FUCK LONG HAVE I HAD MY FUCKING PRIVACY FILTERS BACK.

[Private]

[secretasshole]

[David sounds almost genuinely amused, but in a friendly, good natured way versus a sardonic "oh you pathetic organism" way, which is just. Weird.] I'm afraid I'm not sure.

[Private]

[mistconduct]

Are you fucking kidding me. My fucking warden gives them back, doesn't even TELL...




Whatever.



Yeah, I'm awesome. Drugs are awesome. How are you? You look way happier than usual.

[Private]

[secretasshole]

I'm quite alright, thank you. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.

[demon_knight]

You look pretty chipper, Goldenrod. What's up with that? This some sort of personality bending flood?

[secretasshole]

I'm not sure what the flood's effects are, at the moment.

[demon_knight]

Okay, go to the mirror and look at how you're smiling now. Remember that for later. So you don't do that creepy "I hate working here and I'm going to strangle my boss" McDonalds cashier smile.

I choked, that is the best comparison

[secretasshole]

[And that actually gets a laugh out of him.] I wasn't aware that's how people usually interpreted my smile.

We all know that smile!

[demon_knight]

I have a tact deficiency. They got me on vitamins for it. But you do look a little actually happier than usual.

[burnmythoughts]

[Well, that's different. Jean stares for a second, before deciding she should probably just go with it.]

No one can seem to decide who's affected and who's not. [...Is she - Jean suddenly looks alarmed.]

[secretasshole]

I've noticed. Is something the matter?

[burnmythoughts]

Well, it's - kind of disturbing to realise I might not be who I think I am.

[secretasshole]

If it helps, even if you aren't, you'll be back to normal in a few days.

[burnmythoughts]

I hope normal me isn't a murderer or something. [The words were meant to be flippant, but a shadow crosses her features as her shoulders tense.]

[itstopped]

David, do you have any ideas about the nature of this flood? I tried to cross-reference it with my records, but nothing has come up so far.

[secretasshole]

Mr. D'Amico seems to believe that several people on board, including myself, are acting strangely, but I haven't noticed any unusual behavior from anyone, to be honest.

[itstopped]

Really? In what sense? I can't say I've noticed anything.

[secretasshole]

Apparently, [And this is being said in a tone of voice that clearly states that David sees nothing unusual about any of these facts.] I seem happier than usual, Rex is scheming about something, and Megamind has been discussing the mechanics of intercourse between two men with him.

[itstopped]

[He raises a brow -- not at the part about two men, but at the part about discussing it. The Lieutenant's proclivities are far from unknown on the ship, but he's a private man. He doesn't talk about his personal life.]

Uh, yes, well, Megamind's indiscretion... and Mr. d'Amico's confusion about basic biology... aside, that doesn't sound particularly out of the ordinary.
