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. ]

[Needy is in the cafeteria because, well, everybody's gotta eat. Normally she sits by herself if she can, but unfortunately it seems like she's picked a busy time because there aren't any tables that are either completely empty or not adjacent to someone she doesn't really like the looks up.

Crap. Well, it looks like she's going to have to sit at the same table as someone...relatively safe.

Head turning she scopes the room, and her eyes alight on Gwen. Close to her own age, not overtly scary or somehow looking crazy or mean. And, she thinks she might have talked to her before.

It wasn't the best conversation, compared to some of the others she's talked to, but. It could have been worse. She heads over, holding her tray.]

Um, hey. Do you mind if I...?

[interns]

Hey. Yeah, sure, go ahead.

[ she shakes her head, a little surprised, but not enough to outwardly question it. she definitely remembers talking to the other girl on the network when she arrived here - it's hard to forget someone that talked about showing up here just after being shot. so she sits up a bit, scoots her tray back towards her like there isn't already plenty of room on the table for her to set her stuff down. ]

-- What's up?

[notsoneedy]

[Needy sits down and at first keeps her eyes on her food, her elbows and hands closely contained to her side of the table. She's still pretty 'guarded' on habit; few of the other inmates wanted to try messing with her by the time she was finished with her last place, but. Survival skills are still paramount.

She plays with her food more than acts like she has any plans on eating it. And there's not really enough on there to count as a meal - more like snacks strung together to something that might be halfway filling.

She looks up, slightly startled by Gwen's voice.]

What? I, uh. Nothing. Not really. Why, why do you ask?

[interns]

[ more headshaking, quicker this time, a "nononosorry". but she has to chill out, she realizes that pretty quick. because hey, acting suspiciously nervous will make a person look suspiciously nervous, who knew? and she doesn't want that, so she sighs, shrugs a shoulder like Peter might. so cool, so nonchalant. ]

Just trying to make smalltalk, that's all. I figured a "what's up?" was better than listening to me eat.

[ was that.. a joke? that was an attempt at a joke, yes ]

[notsoneedy]

[Needy sort of stares at her blankly for a beat. She does get that it's a joke, or at least an attempt at one. She's just not certain why the other girl is thawing. But finally after a moment's consideration she thaws a little, giving her a break.]

Depends on how loudly you chew.

[interns]

Oh, it's bad. Trust me, you don't even want to know how bad. It grosses me out, and I'm the one that does it.

[ okay, so Gwen's usually more subtle about her dorkitude, but maybe it's the other girl's tough exterior that's making her kind of throw that idea out the window. like she has to compensate. ]

[notsoneedy]

[Needy smiles with silent laughter a bit, though it's still mire incredulous than anything.]

Well, at least you're honest about it. [She picks up a piece of fruit from her tray, fiddling with it.] You know what they say. Denial is the first sign of a problem, and all that.

[interns]

Mhm, mhm. [ yes good eat, eat so Gwen doesn't resort to motherhenning. because she would. she would motherhen her so hard. ]

So hey, how've you been settling in? Did you get paired up with a Warden yet?
