[Jim's looking a little extra spiffy today. It might be because he didn't like being an animal...so he overcompensates.] The lynx. In some...hm...pagan...societies, the lynx is seen as a symbol of secrecy and wisdom. I've always had a soft spot for those archaic symbols, really.

[Yeah, he's trying to make himself feel better. He pauses, tapping his chin.] Oh, but you know what would be really interesting? If we all looked too much into what this Admiral person does. Yes. Let's all do that! [He waves his hands a bit because he's ~SUPER EXCITED~ and then stops, frowning.]

Or we could just say, oh well, that's the Admiral. I haven't been here long enough to brush it off so easily, I'm afraid.

So, for the rest of you, which is it? What do you generally do after a flood as your...oh, what's that phrase, coping mechanism? Brush it off? Or try and reason it out?

Come now, we just spent two days as animals. Why don't your brains just leak from your ears?

[Private to Coyo]

My dear Coyolxauhqui, do spare a moment for me.

[Private to Olive]

...tell me you have something better than Xena. Speaking of leaking brains, I cannot stand this rubbish any longer.

[Private to HIS Sherlock]

[Singsong voice.] I found your pet! [A chuckle.] Maybe the Admiral really does speak in symbols!

[OOC: As a heads up, Moriarty spent time as a lynx, but...I kinda got distracted by other stuff and forgot to post him. :c So if you want to assume an interaction, that's fine with me! He would mostly just be prowling and sulking.]

There are other divinities. Loki is Norse, and he is a warden. Persephone is Greek, and she is an inmate.

Gaheris Rhade is not human, but he is not divine. Neither is General Chang. They are not human beings - they are from the stars. There are time lords. They are long-lived, but not immortal. They have machines with souls. There are vampires, many vampires that drink only blood.

All inmates or are they distributed between the two classes evenly?

Wardens and inmates, yes.

Some inmates act like wardens, and some wardens act like inmates. It can be difficult to tell the difference.

I'm starting to see that. It's a little disorienting at first.

But, well, that's what I've come to expect of people.

For them to be disorienting?

It's easier to ignore them all.

Mm, no. For them not to act like you might expect. [A pause.]

You shouldn't ignore them. They might have something valuable to say.

I have learned it doesn't matter. We are all prisoners here. Everyone is tortured; everyone is tormented.

Valuable? Not often.

[And he sits back, thinking.]

Not often, no. But it is worth it for those few who come along.

Tell me, though. Back to my original question. These different people with their different titles...what powers do they possess? Feel free to include yourself in that, Coyolxauhqui.

Many of the inmates do not have harmful magic any more; it was taken from them. If an inmate possesses great strength or the ability to do harm, it has been stripped from them. There are some inmates who have been given magic back - the wizard Mozenrath is one, and I am another. There are others - a green woman who can fight, a woman who can make lightning appear from her hands, vampires who can fly and feed. Persephone has some magic, but it is to manipulate plants.

There are other inmates who don't have magic but are intelligent. They are also powerful in their own way.

The wardens with magic and strength are very powerful, but they don't abuse their power to do harm. Not usually. The time lords can travel through space and time. Loki uses his magic to play tricks. Vampires who fight but do not feed.

Very interesting.

Your warden can strip those powers from you again, I presume? If they can be given, they can certainly be taken back. That certainly is interesting. Will you tell me what powers you've been given back?

Yes, she can. Easily.

I am closer to nature. I can feel the wind and earth in my bones. I can speak to all things that grow and breathe; I can become them.

Can you? Tell me where the nature is here.

Nature is on the Barge, you have to look for it.

I am not in tune with nature. Born and raised in the city.

Hm. I'm sure that you can.

What would it require?

Amusement. Keep me amused.

Well, I'm already dead. I might as well.
