[professor_charisma]

I suppose I should give an introduction as well, since I've just arrived, though I'll admit right out I'm not much for talking about myself. I'm a new Warden, my name is Waver Velvet. I'm from London, which I hope is a recognizable name to people out there. I know that we're all meeting here from different corners of the universe.

Ice breakers do seem a bit awkward in a situation like this, don't they. It feels out of place to say something like "I can't wait to get to work" or "I'm glad to be here". So I'll just say that I'm here to help in whatever way I can. Back home, I'm a professor, and I'd rather handle this position as a teacher rather than an actual warden. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and doing whatever I'm able to.

WARDEN FILTER
I'd rather meet my new coworkers face to face than over this, so I'll be in the lounge going over my materials at Warden Command if anyone cares to chat. But over this is fine as well. I'm not picky.

[Action tags welcome for any Warden who cares to meet. Waver will be sitting at one of the open-air tables looking over his communicator with a cup of coffee. He has a lot of reading to do, so better get that caffeine flowing. Right now, he's going over any inmate information he can access, and is taking some notes. He's planning to hit up the library later to check out books from and about their homelands, to get a better idea of where these people are coming from.]

Bullshit. Bullshit it won't. This place is dangerous and neglectful and there are concrete things the wardens could be doing about it.

[professor_charisma]

No, I--

[He sighs lightly. He's on Volk's side, he swears...]

Absolutely keep those concerns to the forefront. Stay on us about that. But don't just-- antagonize. Otherwise when you do have more real issues to bring up, you're taken seriously. I don't want anyone to dismiss those.

[saklas]

Oh, there is no combination of civility that will get me taken seriously, don't worry about that. I was prepared to fight you a lot harder about the rooms before you agreed, actually.

[It was a nice surprise - but it's indicative of how hard he's had to push on things he considers logical and harmless.]

[professor_charisma]

Yes, well. It seemed like a pretty simple thing to do in order to help.

[He looks at his comm as a message coming through.]

We can discuss more later. For now I need to speak with the other wardens about what they think of what's going on around here too. Two sides to every story, as they say. [And to talk to Volk's current warden.]

[saklas]

Be my guest.

[You will see that everyone is wrong, and he is right.]
