[Her voice is calm and clear, with a nebulously English accent. It's hard to pin down anything but 'South London' from her accent, if one's fond of specifics.]

Pardon me if this isn't the done thing, but I've a question and, I believe, an introduction to make. I am of the understanding we are all adapting to these circumstances, but some may have more to adapt to than others.

You may call me Margaret Hugues, or Peg, if you like.

I am curious how many here have had experiences with... well, prison. What did you encounter there? From reading back through this device, it seems to me that much has been made of the conditions here-- which, frankly, I find rather luxurious, if severe in mode. But as I said, we are all adapting.

I suppose I am asking this: Is this place what you would expect, from a prison? Based on your own experiences, of course. If you have been to such a place before, in your home, or in... other places entirely.

Thank you.

[ooc if you wanna hit her up for a log thread, go for it.]

Participation in this gambit is enough to make any man or woman unconquerably odd.

[Dryly,] Other ships, yes, of course. How silly of me to assume this vessel was unique in its oddity.

How has the effort gone, then? One would assume two months is too short to see anyone's epiphany.

Oh, I agree. [She likes her already.]

Right now, we're still learning one another and our new roles. Wardens and inmates alike. I can't say it hasn't been without incident, but it's going better than I expected.

[prinks]

May I ask about the incidents? Not that I doubt you, but I'd prefer to know for myself.

[nineteenfortyfive]

We've had inmates testing the limits. Sneaking off. Trying to escape, when we've visited a planet. A few physical altercations, but no permanent damage done.

[prinks]

The usual that can be expected, then, of running a prison, even in this mode.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Just about. The inmates here have more luxuries than some of my tenants at home, so they're quite comfortable. I think that keeps the majority from becoming too rowdy.

[Like running water... #justcolonialamericathings]

[prinks]

[what the fuck is running water]

It seems odd to me, to call a place such as this a prison. But I suppose it makes the threat to restrict privileges more potent.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Fortunately. An inmate got his shirts taken as punishment, for example.

[And he was genuinely upset despite the fact that he wasn't actually left nude...]
