Private to Barron: FORWARD DATED TO TOMORROW/AFTER SHIT GETS REAL.

[buywithme]

Comrade?

I... I don't feel that the Barge is a suitable venue for your rehabilitation any longer, and I think we should possibly start thinking about alternative options.

If there is a safe way to leave the barge as an inmate, then I don't know what it is, but... still, we need to talk.

[Prefect shrugs. He honestly doesn't know the answer to any of those questions.]

Who cares if I get demoted, Comrade? The Barge right now-- what's happening...

[He frowns, and shakes his head.]

It's wrong. I don't want to be a warden here if it's going to be like this, and I can't accept that this is how I should help you.

[Barron nods quickly. If Prefect wants out, he can rolls with that - especially with these changes.]

But what about Cassel?

[Prefect shrugs again, his expression slightly helpless.]

If we're going to try and escape from jail, then we might as well take people with us. [He pauses and glances down.] The only thing is, Comrade... The only way I know of getting out... it's not... It's not really perfect?

What is it?

[Barron wants out, but he's reluctant to put himself, Prefect or Cassel in an awful lot of danger.]

Just... when people go overboard? Fall into ports? They lose their memories, and they incorporate into the world they land in. It's still you though. The world changes around you, but underneath you're still the same.

That's all I can think of. That we leave messages for ourselves, try and take our journals, and try to make sure we stay together when we land.

[Barron nods.]

That's an acceptable risk for me. [He's kind of used to it.] Would you be okay with it?

I wouldn't suggest it if I wasn't.

Do you want to try and get in touch with Cassel first?

[Barron whips out his journal and fires off a post.]

I'll get him to meet me and we'll go. [He looks at Prefect, and smiles.] You're doing the right thing, man. We can't stay here anymore.

I honestly don't know if I am, Comrade. There are things that'll need to be done here, if this is how thigns are going to be from now on. There are things that should be done about the Admiral...

[Prefect holds Barron's gaze for a long, ponderous moment, then shakes his head.]

But I'm not here for that. I'm here for you.

[Barron grabs Prefect's hand, because this is getting deep.]

I'm here for you too. And I'll be there for you wherever we're going. So let's go?
