Comrades! Consumers! Haven't we had a flood of unfamiliar faces lately? Well allow me to personally greet each and every one of you to the Barge. My name is Prefect, and I am the sole operator of the Factories single outlet here.

Comrades, I know this may be difficult for you, I know that you've awoken in a strange new place, far from home, I know you feel pressured and dominated and confused, but brothers, sisters, do not let your hearts be troubled. This place will tear at your minds and your hearts, destroy your body and each time allow you to rise from the ashes of that flesh like a scalding phoenix from the flames, it is a place forever in flux, forever changing. It is impermanent. The only way now to anchor ourselves is to build our own physical empires, Comrades, you are no longer your body or your mind or your primitive notions of soul, you are only what you surround yourself with! That is what abides, that is what remains.

So Comrades, Consumers, Brothers and Sisters, do not dwell in the realm of ever fleeting consciousness, but rather buy with me, the building blocks of who or what you are so that when your mind is torn away from you your foundations are still firm! Bicycles, balaclavas, ballet shoes, blue-ray players, boxer shorts, bottles, berets, baskets, basketballs, just a small number of the things we currently have in stock, and Comrades if we are unable to find what you require in our existing stores then rest assured, our staff will do literally whatever is possible to acquire what you need elsewhere, and all of this for the lowest prices possible.

Comrades, in the hours of your discontent, in the moments when this place at the end of time and space and history tries to drag you apart, ask yourself this:

Will I be lost? Will I be the one who falls first with no solid hold to grip onto? Will my mind be the first not to return?

Comrades, do not let it be so. Buy with me today, and we shall chain ourselves to this reality with the endless glory of commerce and products, in this ever fluctuating reality, we shall build our own, buy with me now, and make it so.

[Private to Jayne]

Comrade? I've been asked to contact you on behalf of someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

He made me aware of the fact that someone was seeking your assistance in fulfilling a certain service which you are apparently experienced in.

I don't know, Comrade. I've been asked to inquire as to whether you're still taking commissions for work here, if you are then I'll return this information to the party who first approached me, and we can proceed from there.

No offense brother, but there are certain kinds of independent contract which have recently been suggested to me which I would really rather not know the details of.

Depends. I got myself a cushy gig as Warden, wouldn't wanna mess that up on account o' some 笨蛋 can't get a job done by theirselves.

笨蛋 = asshole

Hello fresh meat!

From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
Yeah, at one point or another it does have pretty much everything. A feature of this place which becomes progressively more disconcerting the longer you're here.

Welcome to the Barge, Brother.

I've acquired things, made things, performed services which are remarkably broad in scope.

Is there anything specific you had in mind, Comrade?

I'm kind of grossed out sufficient. Thank you. How did you find the port?

This is extremely true

Like something that I'd rather never talk about again.

I didn't see you there. What'd you get up to?

...

If you still want my help.. to become Prefect again, Factory.. I want to see everything you say. Private, filtered. To make sure you're doing your job, not becoming emotional.

I also need the list of Factory approved activities, a copy of your evaluation form.. anything related to who you should be.

Private - Poor Sylar :c

Date: 2009-03-27 05:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
...Okay, Comrade. I'll bring you a copy of the form and a full regulation manual later today.

I can't... I can't infringe Client confidentiality, but I can let you see everything I write.
grayatonement: (solemn stare (heroes: v3))
From: [personal profile] grayatonement
Fine.

When I read the manual, I might ask you to do more, to not do things. I guess it depends on what I find.

Do you care about anyone outside of Harvey and Sam? We'll talk to them. You can tell them later. I.. You can't form any more attachments. Do you understand?

Private - POOR PREFECT :CCC

Date: 2009-03-27 02:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
Well... sort of Ralph? But not really. No. Comrade, I can't tell Sam. He's my warden and he won't... he won't approve of this.

I understand though. From now on, all my contact with people is purely professional.

Private - Ffffffffffft. He asked for it.

Date: 2009-03-28 12:06 am (UTC)
grayatonement: (never surrender (heroes: v4))
From: [personal profile] grayatonement
Not right now. Later. It doesn't really matter if he approves, does it? If you want to be Factory? It shouldn't matter.

...Good.

Private - Well, he chose wrong!

Prefect, you know that products aren't going to tie you to reality.

Date: 2009-03-28 09:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
I don't know that they don't? I mean, sometimes when the floods end, the objects stay, and everyone's eventually become themselves again, and everyone has some stuff, so maybe it helps.

Date: 2009-03-28 09:43 pm (UTC)
bythe_books: (more suit action; srsly not the master)
From: [personal profile] bythe_books
But has owning a bunch of stuff done anything to keep you from becoming somebody else when the wrong flood hits? Maybe some things, some items with emotional significance may help trigger something, but...

Sometimes stuff is just stuff, Prefect.

Date: 2009-03-28 09:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
Right. Stuff is stuff that reminds you that you're the person who bought all the stuff.

Maybe the stuff is what brings you back.

Date: 2009-03-28 09:52 pm (UTC)
bythe_books: (mildly concerned)
From: [personal profile] bythe_books
Look, I don't think you're... entirely wrong on this. But just accumulating things for the sake of it, that doesn't help define you. It's those special objects, the ones that... somebody you love gave you, that remind you of the most important days of your life.

A pile of products, it's different from those really significant things. I buy 500 biro pens from you, let's say, just 'cause I wanted to purchase something. When the wrong flood hits, I'm not gonna look at those pens and remember who I am. I'm gonna look at my badge, or the cigarette card my dad gave me...

Am I making any sense to you at all?
