[Johanna flicks on the video with a glare. The room around her is dark; the screen lights her face from below. When she speaks, her voice is a little rough and hoarse, like she's been shouting a lot, very recently. (She has.)]

Hi, friends. [She bites out the word.] Just a little message for you all. You've all gotten really comfortable on this hunk of junk you're calling a ship--or what's passing as a ship-- [And she manages a little smirk at that--] --which, come on, it's crap. But I get it, it's not yours. You're all just prisoners here, it did some horrible things to you... yeah.

And that's where this comes in.

[She holds up her arm, where her tattoo is clearly stamped out, fresh and new.]

See this thing? This isn't a fashion accessory. This is bullshit. The last time someone shoved something in my arm and told me to smile and get on with my life, I didn't put up with it. I'm getting this thing out of myself, and if any of you have any sense--you'll do the same. You wonder how they get to you? It's things like this. But I'll bet you already knew that.

Well, fuck that. Fuck all of it. I'm not doing that again.

You want us to join up and help you run this ship? --Or resist this ship, or fight whatever you think is here? Here's my offer. First person that tells me how to get this thing out of my arm without dying, I'll join whatever they're running. And you want me on your side.

[JOHANNA OUT.]

What?

[endureandsurvive]

a vampire
u no

pointy teeth suck blood really friendly in dark hallways

[axeyou]

If I knew, would I have asked? No.

Is this something in that guide because I'm not reading through that whole thing.

[endureandsurvive]

dont bother all u have 2 know is whos the head of what dept and that u need 2 get into the gravity couches b4 jump or youll turn into ppl paste

vampires r monsters that look like ppl they have sharp teeth and drink human blood theres like 5+ on the ship
r u a human?

[Not actually sarcasm......]

[endureandsurvive]

oh also dont cut down trees in the garden ppl will get mad at u

ppl being elves???????
so better 2 stick with arms if u want to chop shit

1/2

[axeyou]

Thanks for the crash course but why would I need to know the heads of the departments.

And yes I'm human. No robotic additions. Are you? And will elves drink my blood if I chop down their trees? And how did you get to know so much? Did they go after you for messing with their trees?

[axeyou]

For the record: just because I have axes doesn't mean I'm interested in chopping down trees. I'm done with that.

1/2

[endureandsurvive]

u should know heads of depts bc they usually have the best info so when they post 2 the comm u can read it theyve been around a lot and im not saying they really know anyhting but they usually know more than every1 else bc they talk 2 eachother

im human :)
elves dont drink blood but theyll probably put magic on u or something idk
i read a lot

im glad 2 hear youve cut ur tree chopping days short

2/2

[endureandsurvive]

get it

[axeyou]

[wow just when she was thinking you were pretty smart and useful, mystery commentor, and then there were tree puns

...which she actually does snort at so you're welcome]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I've never heard jokes like that before.

What department are you in? And why are you writing like that?

[endureandsurvive]

a small 1
& faster. :0

u should join gunnery lots of weapons + jax would like u

[axeyou]

Thanks for the suggestion, Answers, but I'm not really in it for these departments.

What's a jax?

[endureandsurvive]

jax = gunnery head. skull tattoo + other ones??? cool dude kind of slow like he walks and talks slow not head slow.
u met carolyn already
nathan petrelli = comms. talks a lot + thinks hes in charge + knows things other ppl dont
tyke = security. kind of bitchy + quiet. DOGS! :) edgeworth does most of the talking 4 sec tho. or sirius. pretty much any1 except 4 tyke does it
peter bishop = engineering. quiet unless ur good 4 something
ianto = misc shit. foot in mouth disease but good 4 info
peter petrelli = medical idk he seems cool no one cares abt medical until someone chops off their arm tho
netherlands = plants. not an elf but will still probably shank u if u cut something kind of quiet unless u set the garden on fire or smthng
snape = science + magic? doesnt talk much but works with a bunch of magic weird ppl so stay away i guess

if u dont want to join a dept u should learn some magic tricks or smthg. it gets really fucking boring up here :/ can u cook?

[axeyou]

[Dang, Answers that's all... really good stuff. Reluctantly, Johanna has to admit that she appreciates the information. she's even reluctant just admitting it to herself, that's how bad this sucks to admit. Science + magic sound like things to be wary of, but the rest of it...]

I'm not really picky about food so yeah I can cook for myself. If you're asking me to cook for you, think again.

I'm not very good at keeping entertained. You're good at lists. Think you can come up with some activities for me?

[endureandsurvive]

i can cook 4 myself ty tho :)

u can shoot things at gunnery if u have a gun and theres a pool if u like 2 swim
gym?? i read a lot of books and shit
idk what do u like 2 do

[axeyou]

I hate swimming and I hate reading. Do they lend out guns?

I'll bet nothing that I like to do is here. How disappointing, right? I'll have to make my own fun.

[endureandsurvive]

whaaaaaaaaaaaat reading is great

[Obviously that was the important thing to take away from that message.]

[axeyou]

Great for what?

[endureandsurvive]

4 passing the time and learning things

spying on ppl :) every1 here talks about everything

[axeyou]

So you spy on people, and admit it in front of everyone. Think that's wise?

[endureandsurvive]

sure y not :)
no 1 knows who i am

[Well. That's not strictly true. But no one who does would rat on her-- right?]

[axeyou]

Someone knows.

So how'd you learn to keep your name a secret? By reading?

[endureandsurvive]

no 1 who will tell u
y :0 see reading is great

[axeyou]

I'm really persuasive. I can get a lot out of someone.

But how about this: you write up something about your secret of how to keep secrets, and I'll learn to enjoy reading.

[endureandsurvive]

uh huh gl finding some1

that doesnt seem like a v good deal on my end just saying :V
