Prefect ([personal profile] buywithme) wrote2009-03-27 01:47 am

(no subject)

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.

Yeah? What about?

Private - See Prefect be SUPER CAREFUL with his words

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

Really. And what might this "service" be?

Private

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
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

Well Comrade, of course if the terms which are eventually offered to you do not meet your standard then it's your prerogative to turn them down.

If you're interested in considering any offer though, I can ask the other party involved to allow me to pass along the details of what they need doing and what they're offering for it?

Private

[identity profile] muddershero.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
You do that.

Hello fresh meat!

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[Private] Dude, I've read the app, I know Aaron is the scary mofo in this equation! XD

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've acquired things, made things, performed services which are remarkably broad in scope.

Is there anything specific you had in mind, Comrade?

Private - addendum

[identity profile] muddershero.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Also, let 'em know I ain't doin' nothin' for chump change. If I'm gonna risk my position it better be gorram worth it.

Private

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, Comrade.

[Private] Prefect IS a tricksy soul...

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, "Roy". I'm Prefect.

I don't know, I've never looked for a specific thing from a specific world before... if you can give me some information about where it is then I might be able to do something, if we ever stop at the right port, or I can ask the right wardens, but it's a long shot.

[Private]

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Roy... got it.

Last time we stopped on Earth was... uh before I got here. So over six months ago. Maybe longer.

We're probably due to go back there some time.

Sometimes you get a week or so's notice? Sometimes you get a days notice, and sometimes he crashes.

Have some fake brotherly checking up on you

[identity profile] mimic-peter.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hey Prefect.

[Private]

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, ComradeRoy. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

He doesn't mean this in the Fraternal way.

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hello Brother!

How are you?

But that's how Peter will take it anyway!

[identity profile] mimic-peter.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm... better then last week.

How about you?

Peter you brotherslut!

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm kind of grossed out sufficient. Thank you. How did you find the port?

Private - Sylar hates this, but promised.

[personal profile] grayatonement 2009-03-27 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
...

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.

This is extremely true

[identity profile] mimic-peter.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Like something that I'd rather never talk about again.

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

Private - Poor Sylar :c

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
...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.

[identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think it was so bad. I mostly looked for people, Sam, Harvey, Gabriel... didn't get a lot done.

It was unproductive.

[identity profile] mimic-peter.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
It was ridiculous and unnecessary.

Can we talk about something else?
grayatonement: (solemn stare (heroes: v3))

Private - He refuses to thank you for any cooperation

[personal profile] grayatonement 2009-03-27 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
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?
