first ♢ voice

[Abigail's voice quavers, as though she's uncertain of the connection, like someone making their first long-distance call. She starts out firm and then peters out into uncertainty, the tail end of her first sentence almost a question.]

My name is Abigail . . . Hobbs.

I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm here now. [A pause; who to ask for?] I'm looking for Dr. Alana Bloom. She's tall with dark hair. She was supposed to check in with me this morning, but instead I'm here.

Are there - [And here she inserts a little more tremor than necessary into her voice, because she doesn't know what else to do right now - ] Are there letters home? That kind of thing? How does this work? Because I need to talk to my dad.

I cannot say I know a warden or inmate by that name.

[ Tyrion's voice is honey-smooth, sweet. ]

Do you know where you are, my lady?

[secretasshole]

There is no Dr. Bloom on board at present, and there is no way to communicate with the outside world. I'm sorry.

[lastrat]

No post. I'm sure the Admiral could, if he was feeling generous. But he's not often generous.

[hellofist]

Why was she... supposed to check in?

You got plenty of people answering your questions but, for what it's worth, welcome. You'll either hate it or love it. Haven't seen a middle ground yet.

My name's Arkin.

My name is Ben.

There is no one here using the name Alana Blooms, doctor or otherwise. I doubt she is here.

It is a possibility that someone might get a letter home, but extremely unlikely that you would get one back.

Unfortunately, there's no way to talk with the outside world once you're on the Barge. Which also means Dr. Bloom probably won't be checking in with you any time in the near future.

[intelligently]

I don't think there's any way to the outside. [ Maybe for Wardens, but most seem intent on staying regardless ]

Hello, Abigail. You're on the Barge.
