[ Gwen starts her awkward video with an awkward wave. hellooo~ no, she's not completely comfortable sending out a public video message to a group of strangers, but she knows it's necessary. if she's going to be an effective warden, she needs to get to know the other people here, even if there are a lot of them. ..not that she gets shy around large groups of people! no, she's gotten over that, sort of, since she started her internship at Oscorp. but it's still a little intimidating, isn't it? this isn't a group of high school kids, it's a group of- well, anyone. so there's some awkwardness here. definitely. ]

Hi, hello. My name is Gwen Stacy - [ head intern here at Oscorp Industries no wait, don't go on autopilot, this isn't work ] - and I'm new here. On the ship. Newish. [ there were two days of quiet oh god this is real panicking in her room before this moment ] I haven't been paired up with anyone just yet, but I will be a warden. That said, I do have a few questions about the kinds of things that go on here, semi-regularly, at least.

Back home, I was just a few weeks away from my high school graduation ceremony. Which, yes, means I'm technically done with classes, but it feels kind of wrong not to at least try and keep up on studying while I'm here? I might not know when I'll be going back, but I'd rather not be completely rusty when I'm about to head off to college, you know? So.

So I guess what I'm trying to ask - [ yes geeze stop rambling ] - is if there are any classes that go on regularly here? I know we have classrooms, but I haven't come across any kind of class ..schedule yet. I was wondering if there is anything like that here, or if anyone would be interested in maybe starting some kind of study group? [ she's prepared for all that "what a dork" reactions, she is. but. there's that. this is what she cares about, yep ] One with no specific subjects in mind, but just- something to keep us sharp. I'm more of a science and math focused student, but I would be up for just about anything, at this point. I was a tutor, back home, so I would also be up for running any sessions, if nobody else was up for it. At least until I'm assigned an inmate, then I'll have to see if I have time for it, and-

[ hup. no. stopping herself there. she nods, huffs, grins. ]

Right. Let me know?

-- And thank you for your time.


[ eta ooc: OH YEAH so her 4th wall is free to be shattered in whatever way, but please nothing about her comicbooky fate. just cause. reasons. it's on her permissions post, but I figured a note on her intro was a good idea too ]

[She can't help but grin, because - well, that's exactly the same thing Hank would ask, if he were here.]

I think study groups are a great idea.

[interns]

Yeah? I was beginning to think there wasn't really any time for it, judging by everyone's responses. But maybe if there are enough of us that are interested in it..

[fireincarnate]

[Aaand the smile's gone.] Well. Probably not until the current crisis is over. But - yeah, once we've recovered, I think there are enough people that would give it a try.

[interns]

Recovered?

[ that's a seriously... serious word, isn't it. okay. ]

How bad is this going to be? I keep hearing things about it, but...

[ it almost doesn't seem real, yeah ]

[fireincarnate]

We can't know for sure, not until it happens, but last time it was...pretty bad. The other Barge - it's a cruel, horrible place. Not that this one is all sunshine and roses, but it's about helping people be better. Helping them go back to their lives and make things right, or start over somewhere else.

There, it's about breaking them - twisting them inside out until they're as vicious as everything else. And half of us turn into the kind of people who want to do it.

[interns]

Oh.

[ oh? ... yeah, oh covers it. ]

And those people- those versions of us are going to come aboard the ship?

[fireincarnate]

[Yeah, there's not a whole lot you can say to that.]

It's more like we come aboard theirs, I think. Whether we stay ourselves or turn in the version there is...kind of a crap shoot.
