[So Trip's gotten off lucky. He didn't get sacrificed, he didn't turn into a Death Knight, and he didn't catch the ebola virus. Considering his usual track record? This means he's due for a disaster. Not that he's going to try and tempt fate or anything.]

It's been one heck of a first couple days here. Anythin' else comin' up I should start getting ready for, or are we finally getting that week of downtime everyone's been talkin' about?

[Private to Deadpool]

Still gonna try ta convince me you're a warden?

[Thinks about it thinks about it...]

Very funny.

So, you wanna meet up somewhere and talk or what?

[Trip is already starting to think this was the stupidest decision the admiral's ever made. :|]

You prefer Wade or Deadpool?

[Poor Trip.]

Good to know.

So, you wanna meet up or not? Might be a good idea ta actually meet up in person before another disaster strikes.

You're not my -

Fine. Meet you on deck in ten?

[And this would be Trip loitering around on deck in his uniform, wondering when the inmate is going to show up. If he'll even bother to show up.]

[And Deadpool is showing up! Sneakily. Using his considerable skill to creep up behind Trip and cover his eyes with his hands.]

[Trip jumps, knocking his hands away to spin around and scowl at the inmate, clearly a little annoyed that he snuck up on him.]

Jesus Deadpool, what're you tryin' ta do?

[He cocks his head, looking him over.]

That depends on what you mean by downtime.

Anything that doesn't involve people dyin' and stabbing each other in the chest sounds good ta me.

That's probably asking for too much.

I figured.

So, what've you been up to?

Nothing really. Hanging out with my Inmate a lot. [Read: BROODING... about everything]

How's that been goin'? [DON'T BROOD, Captains are unfun when they brood. Does Trip need to find some water polo for you to watch? 8|]

[Fuck no. Who just watches water polo? LET'S PLAY OR DO NOTHING AT ALL]

About the same as it's been since we were paired together a year and a half ago. It's all a work in progress.

[Fine, fine, whatever you say cap'n. >>]

That's... interesting. Are any of these inmates actually interested in redeemin' themselves? I mean, it's not like I mind the challenge, but a year and a half seems like a long time to not make a ton of progress. No offense.

I think every Inmate is different. But if you mean will they automatically be open to what you have to say? No. Just the same as you wouldn't like it if someone came along and told you that you were doing something wrong. And it's going to take time to come to make any progress.

Believe me, I get that. I'm just startin' ta wonder what I got myself into.

It's not as intimidating as you might think. They're going to fight and you're not going to see eye to eye on everything. Don't be afraid to show your authority if the situation really calls for it.
