Hi Mason, this is Gwen Stacy, your temporary Warden. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to meet up some time, get to know each other a little bit? You're my first Inmate assignment, but I've got a lot of ideas and I'm really looking forward to getting to know you and work with you.

Let me know when you'd like to meet!

[ Gwen, as she's been taken to doing most days since she arrived here, will most likely be found in the library on the fifth level, reading and taking notes on whatever's managed to catch her interest that day. studying, yes, just for the sake of doing so. there might not be any exams here, but she's still interested in learning, still wants to keep herself sharp. if she were at home, she'd have a very NO INTERRUPTIONS, PLEASE vibe going on about her, deeply focused on her books, but here she's gotten into the habit of looking up every once in a while, seeing who else spends their time here and seeing how they choose to utilize it. it's interesting!

either that or she'll be in the cafeteria getting her meal on, and most times she'll be there with Peter Parker, but sometimes she heads down alone, just to grab a snack. which is probably some form of chocolate, if she can get her hands on it. she's most likely sitting alone, like a loner geek kid at school, because that's totally what she is. and she's fine with that. but seriously, come sit with her, she would like company more than she'd ever admit.

[Abigail has retreated into herself. Not all the way, not for long - she is learning to dissect the meaning of her own moods, which fascinates her, and she can tell that the aftershocks of Will's arrival won't take long to leave her head. But for now, she's a little shaky and very focused.]

[Work helps. She prepares lunch with Ben and Mira, and, in doing so, in the cocoon of habit, feels very nearly safe as houses. She helps serve sometimes, too, and when she does she learns the new faces.]

[Gwen shows up so often, and always seems to be smiling. Abigail doesn't trust it. But she is trying to dive into the jaws of the lion, and sometimes the lion is . . . other girls, girls like Marissa, girls like Gwen.]

[So she shows up at Gwen's table as lunch starts clearing out, her fingers trailing against the table's edge as she glances sideways in a questioning way.]


Are you leaving? [Or can she sit?]

[She'd laugh if she knew. Abigail does not think she comes off like a popular anything. There's a note of arrogance to her, always has been, and she plays it up when she thinks it would be beneficial to her. Now, though, she doesn't think it is, and so is being (nominally) friendly (sort of).]

[She does boggle a little at the question.]


No? I mean, it's everybody's table.

[With a wary sideways look, she slides into the seat across from Gwen and folds her hands.]

You're Gwen. You're new.

[Some of that wariness - well, it doesn't evaporate, but it does ease a little. What she's being shown is respect. She doesn't get nearly enough of it. And while admittedly she doesn't seek it - it's easier to seem vulnerable and be stronger than you act than to demand respect and be weaker than you seem - she likes it. She's getting used to it.]

[When she offers Gwen a smile, now, it's almost genuine.]


That's right.

Abigail Hobbs.

The other thing you called me was okay, though.

[Probably somewhere under all her faces, Abigail does resent Gwen for being a warden. It's sort of a tacit resentment, though, something she's realized she's supposed to feel rather than something she's strongly for or against. She has enough strong feelings that there's barely room for such a pedestrian resentment in her repertoire.]

[She finds her grin widening at Gwen's joke, which is . . . weird. And by weird, she means normal. Most of her jokes lately are morbid and barbed, but Gwen's just nice. At least she seems like it.]

[What does Abigail even do with that. Besides roll her eyes and play along.]


I never wanted to be in a cafeteria again. It's really weird. The same old politics, only it's in space prison. Like, maybe they're trying to establish normalcy or something, but it's just bizarre.

Then again, by this analogy I'm a lunch lady, too, which is even more bizarre.

Yeah?

[She ducks her head, smiling at the surface of the table.]

Ben's teaching me how to cook. But he still does most of the work.
