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.]


[Video]

[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.

[That earns a raised eyebrow.]

You think?

[Philip can't help but naturally wonder what the hell kind of world this kid could come from in which he has to be told his age by someone else. But he stifles the urge to ask and tells himself that he really doesn't want to actually know.]

Seems about right, [he says, instead.]

Right.

[That takes care of the easy one - the other one, though. She pulls her fingers through her hair idly, frowning while she tries to figure out how best to put something she still doesn't believe in and still doesn't have much experience with herself.]

Floods are... they make people act crazy, from what I've seen. I'm told sometimes they change people into other things, into animals or kids, but I don't.... I haven't seen that. I can't say for sure.

[Dean's eyes narrow. Not disbelief, but ingrown wariness.]

Why not?

Oh. I'm sorry you were living like that. [She wants to ask why, but she doesn't. Not yet.]

Your room will be inside here. It might mimic one of the shelters you had. Or maybe the room you had-- before? [Subtle way of asking him if he always lived there. At least, she'd like to think so.]

God, you're depressive.

[That is an odd response. She can't tell one way or the other.]

Did you-- What was your room like? Before the-- Glade? [Glades? she's not sure.]

Uh, yeah. That's one word for it.

People say this last one was a flood, and it was... we dreamed other peoples' deaths. And it was fucking terrible.

So I guess there's a little bit of something for everybody, except none of it should be for anybody.

Don't mistake feeling for being.

[There are more than enough teenagers running around this Barge that believe feel is the same as being. Philip would rather they don't have one more.]

You're welcome.

[He hesitates just a moment.]

...a lot of people come here, looking like you did. I did. And I don't know what happened to you, or why you're here, or where you've come from, but...if you ever want to talk about it, you can.
