[ there's some part of her that wants to come at this optimistically, to come on the network and ask instead of going with what logic tells her, what she's learned about this place and how it works. as crazy as the Barge can be sometimes, there are some things that happen fairly often, frequently.
the meaning behind someone's room disappearing, for example.
so instead of the hopeful tone she might normally adopt at a time like this, to try and seem like she's Okay and she's Handling Things and she's only checking in about this to give people some reassurance, she sounds maybe a little tiny bit
definitely absolutely heartbroken ]
I know it's only been a few days since he left, and I know he said he'd be back, and I know this place likes to mess with us, but if Peter's room is gone, does that-
[ she pauses, swallows. she's got that same head-swimmy feeling that she got for a while when she was still getting used to Spider-Man being on the news, shown in these horrifying situations. saving people from a burning building, standing between an armed robber and their way out. it's that slow-drip feeling of dread that she's never going to see him again. which is dramatic, but that's what it is.
so no, she doesn't have to ask what that means ]

Oh! See, I'm ready this time. Hi.
[ guess who's sitting on camera looking cute in the Oxford hoodie she got for Christmas from Peter, hair perfectly styled, make-up perfectly done. this girl! ]
Hello, everyone temporarily tuning into the Barge network for the next few days - my name is Gwen Stacy. If you have any questions about what's going on, or who might be here, or- anything at all really, please feel free to ask me and I'll try my best to answer them.
[ mostly, she's just hoping to hear from her family. or maybe even Flashua. she'd be really okay with that. ]

[ someone's finally got a hold of her phone, and no, she's never seen anything like this before, not really ( this certain someone was born in the 1995 okay ), so it's taken her a good amount of time to figure it out. but she's seen other people talking on it, watched videos of people talking to it and seen people respond, so she kind of gets it. she's a bright kid.
well, she's trying. her face is like THISCLOSE to the screen, and at first it looks like she thinks she has to talk into the camera to get it to work, so you're getting a close-up shot of a lot of baby teeth, but then she notices the view on the screen and pulls it back with a "whoa!" and a big giggle. but then she's making herself calm down, sort of, pushing her bangs down flat with a hand, like she has to make sure she looks presentable now that she knows she's on camera ]
Hello, my name is Gwen- Stacy and I'm looking for my daddy, his name is Captain Stacy. I'm s-upposed to call the police if I'm ever lost or don't know where I am but I don't know how to call 9-1-1 on this phone, can someone please help me try to find find- the 9 and 1 on the screen, thank you.
[ is that all she wanted to say? she takes a deep breath like she might continue, but then she pauses- hm. she needs to think about it. ]
Also I'd like to have a snack now, please, thank you.
[ -- wait ]
But I'm not supposed to take food from strangers, sooo-
Can someone show me where the kitchen is, please?
[ yes! that seems like the right thing to do. she nods, okay now, all done, then fusses with the phone until the screen clicks off ]

[ guess who, in the middle of this laser tag war, is drinking a giant mug of hot cocoa. no, guess. she's managed to form a little safe zone in the cafeteria, off to the side, where she sits armorless, but not humorless. oh no! she's kind of really enjoying seeing people run around, getting real serious about this. then again, she doesn't really... get that it's a little bit unplanned, that they all felt the need to play. ehh. it doesn't seem to register. she thinks people are, finally, just having some fun. that the flood wasn't all that flood-like this time around, despite the Admiral's warning.
then again, maybe in an hour she'll feel the need to gear up, too.
you can bet that when that does happen, she'll be sneaky and tactful and then probably apologize after shooting you. ]

[ well! Gwen's looking better than she did the last time she popped up on here, at least. smiling, even! she's going okay. and she's got some stuff to ask/say ]
Hello! This should be fairly quick, I just have a few things to say.
First thing is a question, actually. When is lacrosse going to start? Has it started? I feel like I should be at practices, maybe? I don't know. I'm mostly just curious. [ and maybe she wants to see Peter playing sports with his Barge friends okok this is so important ]
Two, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in being my lab partner. [ ... HEH. only a tiny bit sheepish, but. well. she's not all that ashamed of her nerd hobbies ] There are only so many times a week I can steal Peter to help me with things, and- okay, so it's not really stealing if he wants to be there, but, anyway - I guess I'm just curious if there's anyone else that would want to meet in the labs regularly, too. Twice a week, maybe. To start an on-going experiment. It's just an idea, and I'm not sure what it should be yet, but I ws hoping to see if anyone was interested, first.
And third, [ she tucks her finger under the thin chain that's hanging around her neck, looping her finger around until it catches on the glass charm at the end ] I never got around to thanking whoever gave me this. It was- kind of really nice, since I was still the new kid here when it was left at my door, so. Thank you! It's really beautiful, and it means a lot to me.
-- Yep! That's all. Bye, guys.

[ when the video feed clicks on, Gwen looks... normal. older, by some months. maybe a year. her hair is in loose curls and her bangs are swept to the side, no longer pin-straight like it was when she first arrived here. there's also something lacking in her expression that she would never admit to, and not just because she's trying so hard to appear perfectly normal. fine. I'm fine, thank you. her fingers are fidgeting with the glass charm on her necklace, something she was glad to find still here, left in her room. it wasn't from home, and that might be way she's kind of clinging to it. like it's an anchor. I'm here, this is real, I'm okay. ]
Hi, um.
Hi.
[ yes, good, solid start. ]
I'm not sure how long I was at home, but I hope everyone is well. It feels like it's been months since I was last here, but that can't be right, can it? [ for some reason she can just.. tell. somehow. things look too much like how she remembers it all. it all matches too well for that much time to have gone by. ] Mason, I have your file. I guess that means we're paired up permanently, yeah? Which is good. I'm glad for it.
Um.
[ why is this so hard? ]
Peter, I hope- I really, really hope you came back too, because- [ her eyes shut, she exhales ] I just really hope you're here. [ a h e m ] And everyone else I was starting to get to know, too. I would hate to hear someone left while I was away, since I didn't really get the chance to say goodbye before I went back home. [ hooookay let's not think about that ] Come say hi, okay? I'm just in my room. Big, wide open schedule. [ she smiles, for a short moment, though it's probably more pleading - please come visit - than it is encouraging ]
That's really all I wanted to say, I think. Yeah.

[ Gwen's been back for a few hours now, though it seems- longer? shorter? she can't tell what it seems like. she's just been wandering around. this doesn't feel real, it shouldn't be real. she can't stop touching the back of her head, cradling the back of her skull like at any minute she could just-
but she hasn't said anything, not since she first arrived back in her room and did nothing but scream and cry for some unknown amount of time. some irrational part of her wants to apologize to the people on her floor, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. she couldn't bring herself to approach anyone. even looking for Peter seems like a terrible idea, because the idea of him still being at home, after all that, scares her as much as everything else she's just been through. so she's a little dazed, feeling invisible and like she's the center of attention all at once. not in a confident way, of course, not like she used to. she feels like anyone she passes is staring at her, like they know.
like they know that she's dead, and that she shouldn't be here.
she feels like a burden on this place now. a ghost. how do people deal with this kind of thing? she almost wants to ask someone, whoever might walk by next, but she's still trying to remember how to form words. how to breathe without wanting to start crying again. meanwhile, some part of her knows that stopping to talk to someone might actually help, but instead she just keeps wandering. ]

[ finding Duke's room was easy enough. apologizing and trying to make rational sense of what exactly happened absolutely wasn't easy at all. it was embarrassing and insane and it's probably selfish of her to be taking the whole situation so personally, but she is. she's taking the blame, she feels so ridiculously responsible for Mason's actions already. temporary Warden or not, she was supposed to be making sure he was behaving, and this- wasn't. behaving. at all. and maybe she hadn't asked the right questions, she wasn't briefed enough. she'd do just about anything to get her hands on Mason's file, so she can just read everything she had to know, study it and memorize it and come up with a plan, but for now she had to rely on Mason's honesty and willingness to share information that could be useful in his rehabilitation, which was
obviously turning out to be a lot trickier than she thought it would.
still, she's not feeling nearly as uppity or motherly-disappointed as she was when she first discovered the network post about him, so that's good. she's following him back to his room so she can see what else he's managed to steal from the other passengers ( so. not. good. ), as well as his general living conditions. hadn't she read something about people's rooms being a good representation of how they handled everyday situations somewhere? ah, who knows. she's kind of grasping at straws at this point, trying to figure out if she can actually handle this, or if the Admiral bringing her here was a huge mistake. so she's just walking with him quietly for now, waiting until they're in his room before starting in on the dozens of what were you thinking questions she has in store for him. ]

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!
[ action spam ( closed ) ]
[ 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. ]

[ 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 ]
