Shame on us; doomed from the start.

May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts.

[After the standard video message and introduction exchange, Edward makes his way to the greenhouse to meet his assigned inmate for the month, as agreed. He doesn't usually wear his armor on the Barge, and today is no exception, though it's a more purposeful choice, the same as he's done when meeting all his other temps. Doesn't seem to matter how long he's been here, it still feels like "dressing down" to him, regardless of what else he's wearing. (Which, today, is a white dress shirt, brown slacks, and his newsboy cap, with his Pip-Boy warden item clipped onto his belt next to his communicator. No openly worn weapons, though there's a knife in his right boot.)

Once he spots Ilde, he makes his way to her at a relaxed pace, footfalls heavy to announce his approach in case she hasn't noticed him yet.]

Hey, [he greets.] Thanks for meeting with me.

[erbier]

[ She turns from where she was investigating the leaves and stems of a tall plant; always concerned for their health. Her expression gazing up at him is solemn, a natural downward pout to her mouth and unhappy eyes. ]

Hello.

[ She has seemed, all along, unconcerned by his appearance. If his height and build intimidates her in person, she does not show that either. She does not draw any closer and will not offer her hand in greeting, however. ]

It is... no trouble.

[ That is to say, refusing would not have aligned well with the vision she wants to portray of herself at this time. ]

I'm gonna guess you heard the announcement, so. What kind of things would you be looking for, out of a warden?

[erbier]

[ Honestly, it's a complicated question for her to answer. She has made nice with plenty of wardens, she can get anything she wants whenever she wants it. The role is mostly an unimportant one to her beyond the fact that, if she ever wishes to graduate, she will require one. She is not convinced yet that graduation interests her.

And that may be the answer. ]

I dislike... those who try to inspire me to graduation. I will decide in my own time if I wish to continue on, the wardens have no right to that.

[brokenallthelaws]

Pretty sure I couldn't even if I wanted to. It's a personal thing, anyway - if you're gonna do it's not gonna be because of me. And not just because it's not something I've got any right to, though you're right. I don't.

[He can help, if needed, but he knows better than most than pushing too hard isn't gonna work a lot of the time.]

If there's anything you've been wanting back, I can ask the Admiral about it, though. Not as a graduation thing. Just a 'not having this is weird' kinda thing.

Hi.

I don't think we've talked yet. Necromancer's paired us up.

Re: audio

[erbier]

Hello. I have little need for a warden at this time.

[voice; backdated to just after the flood]

[abyssalflames]

I am to be your warden for the month. When would be a convenient time to meet?

[erbier]

At your leisure.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Hey.

I know we aren't paired any longer, but I've got a few books for you.

[erbier]

Oh, yes. Would you like me to come collect them?

The day after the December pairing notice

[worthallthis]

B waits to see if Ilde to shows up at the kennel first, before seeking her out himself. If she shows up, he has his cat C all ready for her lap if Ilde wants her, and waits until she's settled to broach the warden thing with a, "So you heard the Admiral's latest?"

If he has to hunt her down, making wider and wider circles of the Barge from the kennel until he finds her, he'll wave in her direction once he spots her and pad over. "Hey, Ilde. Doin' all right?"

[erbier]

She will make her appearance in the kennel. It's not an odd place for her to show up, and she does not try to be defiant with the wardens. And she likes the cats. She likes the way their ears flutter, and the look of contentment when they are pleased.

"I have," she agrees. "I've little need for a warden."

And she kind of assumes that he knows she will mostly keep to herself, that no trouble will come from her.

[reformedsinner]

Please forgive the interruption.

[It's formula-polite, although with a wry and warm edge to the politeness.]

I've been meaning to ask you since Dr. Hilbert and Miss Quigley graduated -- we have no assistants in the greenhouse any longer.

Would you be interested in joining us there officially? Miss Quigley and I are the wardens in charge.

Re: [audio]

[erbier]

Oh? I suppose so, the custodial minders already have their hands quite full.

[ But who is going to help Zack with the pizza party now? ]

[citizendetective]

Hello, Ilde? My name is Misty Quigley; I heard you might be joining us in the greenhouse?

[Misty pauses, assesses, and decides to end the message in a statement that doesn't sound like a question.]

I'm sure you'll be a great fit for the job; I look forward to working with you.

Re: audio

[erbier]

Greetings, Misty. Gonou asked to me come work in the greenhouse, officially. But I have been there often with both him and Alexander.

[ Yes. she does refer to everyone directly by their first name unless otherwise corrected, and no one ever corrects her. ]

I apologize that I have not introduced myself sooner.

[hippie_ninja]

Hey. Are you Ilde?

[erbier]

Yes. How may I help you?

[voice, shortly after pairings]

[abyssalflames]

Greetings. Do you require aught that differs from when we were previously paired?

[erbier]

Greetings, Lahabrea. I hope you are well.

[ She has improved her tact since last time. ]

I do not require anything at the moment.

after Norton's post

[crowned_clown]

Are you OK?

[He's pretty sure he has the answer, but he's not sure how else to start.]

[erbier]

[ She had proceeded to tell Norton she would cut out his tongue, so.... ]

Of course.

[ She still sounds viciously angry. ]

right after the event ends

[crowned_clown]

Ilde?

['Are you OK' doesn't seem appropriate, but he's very worried for her.]

[erbier]

Hello, Allen.

[ Her voice is soft, drowsy. ]
