[Video]

[she can do this she can do this this is okay and she is fine she can do this just turn the camera on]

Hi. Um. I'm Vaggie.

[Obviously not human, with gray skin and orange eyes--well, eye--Vaggie does otherwise look like a fairly young, slightly uncomfortable human woman. Whatever she is isn't that wild by barge standards, anyway. When she speaks it's a little clipped, but firm, and she has a low, simmering growl of a voice that makes everything sound just a little menacing.]

First off, I've taken a position as a warden here, and I'll also be supervising in the gym. I need to take a good look around and figure out schedules, but just off the cuff I can offer strength and combat training. I'm best at polearms, but I'm good for sparring with whatever.

Second, I'm absolutely going to do the job to the best of my ability, but I'm really here for research. I'm involved in a project with the same goals--redemption of sinners--at home, and frankly we could use all the help we can get. Any insight is appreciated. Anybody willing to sit down for an interview, I'll owe you a favor as soon as I figure out how that would actually work here. Ongoing offer.

[Spam]

[Vaggie's video was shot pretty close. On purpose. In person, there's nothing she can do about being tiny and skinny, though the pretty goth princess look makes for an odd contrast with her martial mannerisms.

And she may or may not have wings. She puts them away in narrow hallways and small rooms, but she's trying to relearn them, and in a place where no one knows her and her baggage, she figures she can get comfortable with her own set of limbs again without freaking people out. They're more sharp than fluffy and she's not going around with a fucking halo on like some kind of nerd, but yeah, those are angel wings.

She reports first to the gym, because she likes concrete responsibilities, but she considers mapping the place to be a basic responsibility, and will turn up anywhere that isn't locked or a private room, with the distinct air of patrolling. She made herself leave her spear in her room, but the vibes are still there.

While she checks out every door that'll open, she only makes two long stops, one on the deck to do the standard newcomer stargaze-and-brood, and finally in the lounge, where she finally lets out the breath she's been holding to stare at a beer and try not to feel like this shit is already hopeless.]

I would like to sincerely apologize for the massive pile of shit you just stepped into by joining me as a supervisor in the gym. Please be aware that Jacob Seed does not respond well to orders and may or may not show up for shifts at the moment.

[This is the worst introduction he thinks he's had, but best not bite the bullet. God, he knows he looks like shit, but it would have been inappropriate to do this over a text or voice chat.] I will be out for the next few days, but Zerxus is currently standing in for me in my absence.

I can give you a primer if you'd like, I've only been here since May but things here seem to have a tendency to snowball rather quickly if you're not careful.

[Again, he's so terribly sorry Vaggie.] I think most people who use the gym would be using it in a more human capacity, I've noticed those who are not quite human or are powered in some way don't use the facility as often, and if they do, they haven't complained about the machines as they're set up now.

I...Actually, I could use a walk, I can give you a little run down, if you'd like? I feel incredibly rude not showing you in person.

What sort of interview are you interested in?

I'm on the I'm not on the redeemed side, but I have been here for some time so I can say something about methods. And I have free time.

Re: Private

As I have been here for a while, I suspect there's a gap between what my answers would be and what the Admiral's are. Which does bring me to my first answer, which is that I think more concrete 'goals' could be useful. Everyone's path to redemption is their own, but I think I few words from the Admiral wouldn't go amiss.

Welcome to the Barge, Vaggie. I'm Zerxus. ...Has Abel spoken to you yet?

Welcome. My name is Gilbert Durandal, I work in the infirmary.

I haven't been here long enough that I feel I'd be of much help for your interview endeavors, but your description makes me curious in turn. How do you define rehabilitation back in your old line of work?
destinymaker: (120 serious)

[personal profile] destinymaker 2024-07-07 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Work in progress meaning... there hasn't been a successful rehabilitation yet, and you're hoping to find out through trial and error?

If you think being realistic is being an edgelord, you're going to be eaten alive here.

And if you think the magical prison boat that signs on mass murderers as prison guards is actually meant to rehabilitate people, you're fucking delusional.

arsegoetia: (I Beg Your Pardon)

Deck

[personal profile] arsegoetia 2024-07-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Given Vaggie's partner is the literal princess of Hell, she might be at least vaguely familiar with some of the Goetian royalty, at least in passing.

Or, the owl-like demon with four eyes who is nearly twice her height, lounging on one of the deck chairs with a book in his hands might just be some random stranger.

Stolas, on the other hand, looks up briefly, back to his book, and then does a sharp double-take of alarm when he recognises a fucking angel just strutting around the deck like she's ready to fight someone about it.

The temptation to run is very real. But instead he clears his throat as he sits up, ready to run but visibly unruffled as he closes his book.
]

Do you... need a hand at all, madam?
arsegoetia: (That's Quite Alright)

[personal profile] arsegoetia 2024-07-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he's not so superstitious that he thinks even touching an angel will hurt him. And she seems just as awkward about this as him, which is nice. And if she's a warden, maybe she's a bit more sensible than the other angels he's seen raining down on Hell like a horrible meteor shower.]

Stolas, darling. [He takes her hand, and his own is nearly twice as large as hers, wrapping easily in a politely loose grip.] I'm an inmate myself, unfortunately, but I assure you I'm not going to be a menace about this place like some of them. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that violence is quite normal around here, so you'll certainly get your fair share of it to participate in.
