Day One, Greenie.

[Open Spam]

[Thomas arrives on the deck of the ship with a look of weariness not only on his features, but one that's settled into his shoulders. Chuck's carving is still clutched tightly in his hand. There's still blood on his clothes. On his hands. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat and blood from a cut above his eye and another on his cheek.

So this is the Barge.

He looks up at the sky with wide eyes, momentarily distracted by the sight and forgetting the events of the last few hours. But only momentarily. He blinks himself out of his dazed stupor and rubs a hand over his face. It takes him a moment to get his bearings. The first thing he needs to do is find his room, and take a long, hot shower. Change his clothes. Get something to eat. It's been hours since he last ate anything and his stomach isn't happy about it.

And then he's going to explore the Barge, find out where everything is. Figure out what to do from there. He's sure there's a lot to learn about this place, about the people he's now sharing space with. He's not completely thrilled about having to meet a whole slew of new people. People who won't know him, who will probably treat him like an outsider. Like he's not to be trusted.

Truthfully, he's still not sure should be. He remembers Newt's words. That who he used to be doesn't matter, it's who he is now that counts. And he can't save them if he focuses on things he can't do anything about. He has to stay focused.

For Newt. For Minho. For Teresa. For Alby. Ben. Even for Gally.

But most of all, for Chuck.]

[Thomas appears on screen looking better than he had only an hour ago for those who ran into him on the way from the deck to his room. He's cleaned up, all the blood and sweat and dirt gone from his skin. The cut above his eye and the one on his cheek are still there but they look a little less angry now. He also looks a little hesitant, like he's not sure about this.]

Someone said I should introduce myself.

I'm Thomas.

Yeah, maybe. That's just a guess, though. I didn't... count them or anything like that.

Okay.

He barks a lot, but he's a good dog.

[And she won't acknowledge that he turned down her offer, instead, she'll just kind of guide him to the kitchens, at least. She feels kind of responsible for him, so she'll just continue their conversation.]

You'll probably get called Stiles a lot. At least for a while.

[Hey man, bring it on. She'll answer questions for pretty much forever.]

[She nods because although he is cleaned up now, he does look a little worse for wear.]


Sure. Just let me know when, or you can go ahead and give yourself the tour. [She smiles.] There's nothing stopping you from exploring yourself and I promise I won't be offended.

[It's a simple enough question, really, but Gene still looks confused when Thomas asks it. How could you not ever have had a door?]

What do you mean?

[Philip zeroes in on that reaction immediately; the way his breath hitches and the way he just blurts out the words without thinking. It's not the reaction of someone who put someone down that needed putting down. It's different.]

Friend of yours?

[Friend or family. It's one or the other. Or perhaps the same.]

Thomas.

[He nods, and doesn't ask whether he's a Warden or an Inmate. He seems battered, yes, but not disoriented in the way of someone who has no idea how they came to be where they are.]

You can use the shower in my room if you don't have one of your own.

[Letty, of course, is still adjusting; people have generally been helpful, but not so much sometimes being questioned about the things she finds strange enough to comment on. So many of them are jaded to the fact that half this shit shouldn't even exist, or are too resigned to it just being the way things are here.

She will be too someday, she's sure; but today is not that day.

About a month? It's... kinda hard to tell around here. If you've been up on deck yet, you'll know what I mean.

And you're not gonna make the wrong choices while you're trying to help out?

[There's a spark of mischief, the cruel kind, in his eyes now. He wouldn't ordinarily be this obtuse, but he's still all turned around, so he's in a mulish mood.]

The first time was nine months. There was a second time that I don't really remember and I couldn't say how long that was for, but this time it's been a little over one.

There are people who've been around longer than that though.
