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.

[He's halfway across the room when the question gives him pause. He stops, turns back to him.]

The cabins are a replica of a place you've lived at home. So, they all look different.

[Whatever's on his mind, Merlin couldn't guess. He just nods.]

I'll leave the clothes outside the bathroom for you. Take as long as you'd like.

Yes! We're both wardens, then.

I think it will. It just might take a while for some people. I can already tell, though.

[She cocks her head when he looks down at his clothes.]

You should have clean clothes in your cabin, but if you don't, I can borrow something from Stiles for you.

Philip.

[He doesn't ask what his name is, not out of rudeness, but because he expects Thomas will provide it.]

I don't know if I'd say a lot, but yeah. There have been quite a few that have come and gone.

Yeah, whatever you had in your room before you got here will show up for you, too.

[But he looks and sounds so uncomfortable, mistrusting, she's not sure what exactly was happening in his world. She also doesn't feel like he'd be open to questions about that.]

[Because he's my people, Dean doesn't say, doesn't even allow himself to think; the less he thinks about why he's interested in warning this stranger off his warden, in fact, the better.]

Because it's not exactly the kind of news most people just take in stride.

Mazeltov, you've got a twin. Nothing?

[It's a question Letty keeps asking herself daily; daily, so far, the answer has been "at least a little more," so here she is. Doesn't mean she's qualified to give anyone else the rundown, though, and she shakes her head.]

Floods, mainly, from what I can tell. And the occasional network glitch I guess. I'm not real clear on it myself, man.

[Merlin's not far away, flicking through a book while he waits. When he hears the door he looks up, and smiles.]

You look better.

It can be, [Elena agrees with a small nod.] But most of the time, it's not really a bad thing to see people leave.

[Although some would probably disagree with her, some definitely consider this place to be home, Elena doesn't think that the Barge is ever really meant to be for last forever. People are meant to move on eventually because that's what this place is ultimately about: change.]

You didn't? [That's definitely unusual but considering the state he's in...]

Where did you live?
