[THE WHOLE BARGE]
[Cain patrols, half out of anxious habit and half because he enjoys the routine. But it puts him in the halls, the Warden-only areas, the deck, the library, the art room. Feel free to chat; he has no idea he's under the influence of the Barge.]
[THE GYM]
[But he spends most of his time here, practicing and training, and lately taking on new students. This is where you're most likely to find him.]

[Gym!]
Date: 2014-04-06 10:10 pm (UTC)All due respect to whoever's in charge, I happen to agree with you there. It's like living in a warzone.
Tend to let it roll. You shut it out you're bound to miss something, you keep track it's a hell of a lot harder to.

Date: 2014-04-07 03:05 am (UTC)Who's the first to jump into your head when you think of 'risk'?
[Gym!]
Date: 2014-04-07 11:30 am (UTC)[The flood compels honesty, not elaboration, so he cuts off there, although there's an extra line of tension in his stance now. Bad blood, or maybe something not so bad; "risk" can mean a lot of things.]
Seems a sudden topic change.

Date: 2014-04-12 10:37 pm (UTC)He still in your unit back home?
[Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-03 10:20 am (UTC)Can't get through work like we do without coming out the other side a little paranoid, I've found. Key's recognizing when it's useful and when it isn't.
[He nods at the question.]
That's my guess. Was last I knew, but who knows if he had the stomach anymore after the shit we dealt with.
Re: [Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-05 02:11 pm (UTC)[It's not unusual for people to quit after rough battles, but something about the way Sarge words it pricks at his curiosity.]
Was it particularly bad shit, or had he just been getting burned out with it all?
[Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-05 05:57 pm (UTC)Bad game. Scrub job. Left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

Date: 2014-05-06 02:51 am (UTC)[He says, to-the-point to help bridge them from this topic to the next.]
Any room for mercenary work where you're from?
[Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-10 07:12 pm (UTC)Re: [Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-13 03:24 pm (UTC)Just makes it easier to find common ground is all. Mercenary work was my specialty; most people think that just means I'm a greedy bastard.
[Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-16 11:15 am (UTC)Our branch, reputation tends to be criminals more than greedy.
Re: [Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-19 08:34 pm (UTC)That's a step up from sanctimonious bastards, like they are in my world.
Ideals aren't a big thing for your world, huh?

Date: 2014-05-23 05:47 pm (UTC)Not when everything's run by a corporation that likes to diversify and fund research.
Re: [Gym!]
Date: 2014-05-28 10:09 pm (UTC)[He hisses through his teeth.]
'Research' where I'm from? Just another word for corruption and human experiments. Can't begin to tell you the psychos that come out of that.
