spam/video.
[Stark spends some of his time on the deck. He's not really interested in busting down the door to get to the Bridge. He's actually far more interested in watching everyone else make incredibly doomed and failure-prone attempts to get in there. Even if they're just considering it, he is probably going to laugh to himself.]

[It's from his spot on the deck he makes his broadcast, puffing on a Malediction already.]

Just a quick poll, how many of you are actually planning on trying to break into the Bridge? More importantly, do you think there will be a unicorn or a pegasus running on the rainbow in there?

[He's a cynic, what can he say?]

[The Admiral is dying and the boat's crashing and burning with him. There's really not much else to do about it, but this is a tenacious and incredibly stupid bunch that will keep running full-tilt into walls to survive and get ahead if they think that's what they think will make it happen.]

[Stark used to be like that, but that got burned out of him a long time ago.]

Tell you what though, one of you manages to get the door open and survives, I'll send you a bottle of Aqua Regia, some Cubans on me with a stripper of your choice.

spam - ned.
[Stark doesn't knock. Because Stark doesn't even use the door. Ever. He steps through a shadow somewhere else on the Barge and comes out of a shadow in Ned's room without any warning. He likes the element of surprise.]

Hey there, Sunshine. How are you holding up?

[Still sore from yesterday? He sure hopes so! C8]

Hell if I know. I'm the devil, not a seer.

[mirabilis]

And I'm asking for a guess. You've been watching what has already happened.

[outofclothes]

Frankly, I don't think any of these little shitbags are gonna pry it open. They'll just keep throwing themselves at it like it's going to make a damn bit of difference over and over again.

It'll open when it'll open. Then we'll see what happens from there.

[mirabilis]

Then hopefully they won't work that out and stop before the door does open. We'd have to find something else to do.

[outofclothes]

Tell me about it.

Not like this hunk of metal has much else going for it.

[mirabilis]

I'm beginning to prefer our own barge. It isn't in quite so much ruin, at least.

[outofclothes]

Our own Barge?

[Stark raises a slight brow as he flicks away a cigarette.]

[mirabilis]

Ah. Then this would be your side of it all?

[outofclothes]

Yep. Shithole, sweet shithole.

Beats Downtown though. So, I can't complain too much.

[mirabilis]

This- [ Helena waves her hand about to gesture the entire place ] -is better than where you're from?

[outofclothes]

Hell's not exactly a vacation spot unless you're severely fucked up in the head even by my standards.

[mirabilis]

That could easily describe so much. [ She's found her own personal hell before ] Unless you're being literal.

[outofclothes]

I'm never metaphorical about Downtown. There's enough metaphysical bullshit attached to that as it is.

[mirabilis]

Then I hope that you can see the barge that I'm from.

[outofclothes]

You mean the one a few of the inmates have been babbling about lately?

[mirabilis]

The same. We are still condemned there, though.

[outofclothes]

Condemned sounds like an exaggeration.

[mirabilis]

Is it? We don't have too many options about it.

[outofclothes]

It is wildly melodramatic, don't you think? Condemnation.

[mirabilis]

I'm a fan of being overly dramatic.

[outofclothes]

That can't be good for your health.

[mirabilis]

It keeps things more interesting.

[outofclothes]

That must be one boring fucking Barge you come from.

[mirabilis]

I'm a prisoner. There are few things there that I enjoy.

[outofclothes]

And what about here? Planning on setting up shop on this Barge if you can help it?
