You guys, this needs to stop.

[Elena is stepping into her room, carrying a chair over her shoulder. But where she might normally be passing by and closing a door, she is simply passing through a sheet she has hung up over her doorway. She's not actually that angry about losing her door seeing as how getting back some privacy in her room is semi-easily remedied. But that's a bit of a petty and absurd thing to be manipulating about the ship. The risks don't seem worth it from what she's hearing over the network.]

Whatever is going on with the ship, we shouldn't have this kind of power. We don't know who or what the Admiral...[She hesitates to say. Doesn't want to entertain the possibility.] is. We don't know what kind of effect this will have on any of us or on the Barge.

Just... Stop. Okay? Until we can figure this out, we need to be careful.

[maced_eggs]

Yes, fuckin' stop, because it's not fair all the rest of you get powers an' I fuckin' don't!

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Mason, that's not-- [She shakes her head.] You shouldn't be jealous over this, okay? We don't know what kind of long-term effect this power's going to have.

[maced_eggs]

Well, I am jealous, all right? I want magical fuckin' powers too.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[...Mason, Elena loves you and everything, but sometimes you are a colossal idiot. If you weren't already dead...]

To do what?

[maced_eggs]

...Dunno. Haven't thought of anythin' yet.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena heaves a heavy sigh. Mason, she is never going to understand you.]

Well, don't start, alright? There are enough people trying to play Admiral right now.

[maced_eggs]

An' I want to play too, Elena! They're leaving me behind.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

This power is dangerous.

[maced_eggs]

I can handle dangerous. I can bloody handle it every live-long day.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I'm not saying that you can't. I'm saying that you shouldn't want to be put in danger if you can avoid it easily, Mason.

[maced_eggs]

Well, that's not very exciting, is it Elena?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

...Sometimes I wonder if you really hear what you say.

[maced_eggs]

Say what you like about my life when I was living; wasn't fuckin' boring.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Boring is good around here, you know.

[maced_eggs]

Boring is boring no matter where you are, Elena love.

Aaaargh, come on, come on. I'm a young man! I wish to be out doing something.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

And you can still do things without putting yourself in danger.

[maced_eggs]

Not as much fun that way.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

You've got a really screwed up sense of fun, you know that?

[maced_eggs]

So fuckin' aware, Elena.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena shakes her head, but she is smiling at least a little.]

As long as you're aware.

[versusnurture]

Elena, I think I might've . . . accidentally done something.

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena immediately sets down the chair, ready to be by Abigail's side at a moment's notice.]

Are you hurt? What happened?

private

[versusnurture]

Well, we were out of tomatoes in the kitchen and I wanted some more and . . . there were just some more, suddenly.

I kind of don't want to tell Ben I did that.

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena breathes only a small sigh of relief that it wasn't anything major (and hopefully if there is any backlash, negative side effects it won't be that strong). But it's only a small sigh because she doesn't want to tell Ben?]

Why don't you want to tell him?

private

[versusnurture]

He doesn't want any of this in the kitchens. Any of the . . . Admiral stuff.

I could just throw the tomatoes overboard? [???]

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I don't think Ben will be mad at you if you tell him.

[Not that she thinks Ben could exactly get mad at Abigail at all, not really. But he would maybe be hurt by her hiding it from him, feeling like she can't tell him the truth about something like this as minor as it may be.]

It was an accident, right?

private

[versusnurture]

Yeah, I just. I feel like it's bad to mess around with magic and food? I don't like messing with anything and food.

[Because of the cannibalisms v_v]

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena nods in understanding. Abigail need not mention the c-word.]

Do you want me to help you get rid of them?

private

[versusnurture]

Yeah. Help me throw them overboard or something?

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Sure, I'll be there in a sec.

[...And do the strangest thing she's ever had to do since she's been on the Barge, quite frankly. Magical tomato throwing.]

[isahumanbeing]

I agree completely. I'm hoping to get some sort of lead on where the Admiral is. It's a wee bit hard to track where he's off to.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

The theory these days seems to be that he's dead. You think it's possible he's still alive somewhere?

[isahumanbeing]

I can't say for sure. All I can say with certainty is he isn't here. As in, he's out of range of the Barge's reach. That could very well mean dead.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Are you working with anyone else to figure this out?

[isahumanbeing]

Aside from Stephen, no. I'll need others, especially those with some aspect of the admiral's power. Getting their cooperation will be the hard part.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Hopefully not any harder than trying to convince Mason he doesn't want those powers.
