022 + BUT WE SPEAK OF THE WISDOM OF GOD IN MYSTERY

[Castiel is in the greenhouse. This should not be a surprise.]

I realize I haven't said anything in a while. This is probably not conducive to wardening. I apologize.

That being said, I'd like to point something out.

The first being that up until a certain point, all warden and inmate arrivals happened on certain dates and on a schedule. Some of them posted late, but it's my hunch that that group waited to mention their arrival. This no longer seems to be the case. Rather than a group arriving, people are arriving one by one. I don't know what or what reason this could be; perhaps it indicates the Admiral is in a hurry for something, though I don't know what. Or perhaps there was some kind of line or judging process in which it went through with the upcoming barge residents and while it was previously doing group reviews, that's no longer the case. Perhaps there was a quota it had to meet before granting access to the barge to any particular group that no longer applies. Or, maybe it's changed the process based on recommendation from superiors.

I also wonder about floods and breaches. I don't think these are accidental and if the Admiral wanted to stop the barge from experiencing them, it would be more than capable of doing so. However, I feel that it views floods and breaches - and ports, though these seem less false-accidental than the other two - as a way for us to experience different emotions and different circumstances. It uses floods as a vehicle for wardens and inmates alike to end up in places and situations where they would otherwise never be, being forced to make decisions they wouldn't otherwise have to make. In this way, it forces us to consider our deeper personalities. Whether this is coming to a conclusion about one being more like they thought or less, or realizing a certain font of their personality is stronger or weaker leads us to learn more about ourselves. This is not always an easy process. But it's a good process. Additionally, while the Admiral can drive the barge into floods and breaches, I don't believe he controls the inner workings of them - universes are how they are. And they can be modified to suit one's needs - but controlling a person's mind would probably teach them less than having this person come to a conclusion all on his or her own.

[He pauses for a moment, perhaps realizing he has gone on a lengthy ramble. He looks up a wall of vines and then back to the camera.]

As an unrelated note, I don't know what good this will do, but if anyone has any problems, listening is one of my best talents.

2000s. But the rest been seen and done.

You seem to have a keen eye for detail. Have you considered the issue of comas?
omar: (ain't no closure)

[Something in his eyes darkens at the word "cheat."] I didn't cheat no one. That ain't me, then or now.

I'm telling you, man. That dog was me. My life, playing the same game. Even had... [He trails off, frowning.] It was more like looking into a couple years back than going on eighty.
omar: (you been so busy being devious...)

[personal profile] omar 2012-10-01 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Bro, that ain't even close to what I'm saying.
omar: (got me confused with a man who repeat)

[personal profile] omar 2012-10-01 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think I will, actually. Nothing personal.

You believe in him when you shouldn't. I am not a better person for being here. When I came here I had dreams of joining SHIELD and becoming a superhero. Now all I want is to use my powers to make a pile of money and have as little contact with people as possible. Is this "progress"? Is this "redemption"? Is this "for the greater good"? How precisely the Hell is this making me a better person?

You're serving a monster with an insane agenda. Don't try to justify it by talking about the greater good. You're talking to the wrong person about that. I've gotten too much of the bad end of this place to be "better" for it. It will take years to recover once I get out of this hellhole, and believe me, I'm far less concerned with the "greater good" than when that piece of crap got his hands on me.

And when the day comes that we are all singing tea kettles, will you still think there's something to be learned?
wecanavenge: (The fuck is happening here)

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-10-03 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't be serious.
wecanavenge: (No go on that's interesting)

[personal profile] wecanavenge 2012-10-03 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, of course. Why didn't I think of that? It's so clear, really.
wecanavenge: (I'm going to kill him.)

Because this is moronic. You're looking for something that isn't there.

It does seem quite purposeless. Maybe we should just try interrogating the Admiral more thoroughly.
doctor_j_crane: (Mask lol what)

I can offer you my medical notes that I've taken regarding the condition of some of the coma patients, if you'd like.
