apparently the doctors here don't like it when new arrivals accidentally sort of punch them in the face because it took me forever to get out of that stupid hospital. anyway i passed the psych test whatever that means. now i have a roommate and i'm learning to live in the "real world" and even posting on here like a good little fictional so... is that it? what about parole for good behavior? is this even australia? this is really not the type of prison i thought i'd end up in and i don't remember being extradited but i guess they don't really go through the whole justice system thing for secret island reformatories.

also is there like a diamond district around here anywhere? cash for gems, that kind of thing?

Whoa, you're finally moving in? I got the notice forever ago; I just figured you had been released or something.

[wellwellwell]

released sounds ominous. it just took me a little while to get my bearings after i finally got away from the doctors. scope out the island a little. not that i was trying to find a way off, if our captors are reading this.

so you're my roommate. kind of expected this place to have more of a steel bunkbed situation but i'm not complaining.

[hawkingbird]

Yeah, I've bought a few things to make it more homey since I moved in. Btw, there's no way off. My friend America could punch through alternate dimensions, and even she couldn't punch a hole in the barrier.

And yeah, we've never had a great explanation from the authorities what exactly "released" means. So take from that what you will.

[wellwellwell]

i can get through a forcefield if i have to but i'll take your word for it since you've been here long enough to decorate. is america one of the girls in your photos?

so if you screw up, you just disappear from an island with seemingly nowhere to be "released" to. yikes. no wonder everyone plays nice.

[hawkingbird]

Ah, yeah. She's the one in the jean jacket.

Wait, did you go into my bedroom?!

[wellwellwell]

uhhh. maybe? sorry, this place is kind of freaking me out. i needed to see the whole apartment. your friend is cute though. i like the stars and stripes. she still here or did they disappear her for punching the barrier?

[hawkingbird]

She left a while ago, but not for punching the barrier. Not sure why. Her and most of those people in the pictures left pretty close in succession.

And I guess it's fine just... don't go in there again without asking me, alright?

[wellwellwell]

that sucks about your friends.

sure, i'll keep out. i'm not used to the whole roommate thing i guess. i kinda suck at sharing.

[hawkingbird]

Thanks.

Haha, neither am I, so I guess that's something we can agree on.

[wellwellwell]

i'm lucy diamond, but i guess you already knew that. you're kate, right? how long have you been here?

[hawkingbird]

Two years. I try not to think about it.

[wellwellwell]

wow. i guess that's better than vanishing mysteriously overnight but i'd rather not be here that long, no offense.

[hawkingbird]

None taken. You learn to enjoy it, once you get over missing your friends and family.

[wellwellwell]

yeah, it seems pretty great for a prison. putting in an ocean instead of bars is a nice touch. are we sure this place isn't australian?

[hawkingbird]

Apparently we're somewhere off the coast of India and Bangladesh. That said, do we have 100% proof this is true? Of course not.

[wellwellwell]

if that's true then we might not be too far from land if we weren't trapped inside a bubble or whatever the hell. i'm assuming we don't know what the barrier's made out of either?

[hawkingbird]

No, even Tony Stark didn't figure it out.

[wellwellwell]

great. is that another one of your disappeared friends? the longer that list gets the more i'm starting to think this place isn't exactly the kind of tropical paradise i'm going to learn to enjoy.

[hawkingbird]

You learn to love it?

Not a friend really, more of a colleague/supervisor. He's pretty much a genius.

[wellwellwell]

so what are you learning to enjoy? who's that blonde girl in the picture on your nightstand?

[hawkingbird]

Uh, well, the new people I meet, I guess. She's my girlfriend.

[wellwellwell]

cool.

[hawkingbird]

Uh, let me know now if you're going to start shit, okay?

[wellwellwell]

why would i start shit?

[hawkingbird]

You sounded really curt! On the internet that usually means "upset".

1/3

[wellwellwell]

i know what curt means.

2/3

[wellwellwell]

i'm not going to start any shit, okay? i won't hit on her or any of your friends, jesus. i can be a good roommate.

3/3

[wellwellwell]

sorry. i just mean, i don't have a problem. with... whatever you think i have a problem with.

[hawkingbird]

Oh! Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, I just-- one of my things is I make assumptions and I get mad really easily and I'm sorry.

Soo yeah. We're cool. No problems here.

[wellwellwell]

it's ok. i can be kind of like that too. uh, obviously.

anyway, it's a nice picture. that's all i meant.

[hawkingbird]

Thanks.

[heartofbakerst]

It is a rather stupid hospital, isn't it? As far as the "real world" aspect goes, most of us are still rather unconvinced about it.

i weighed my options for who to reply with for a long time i am sorry

[reanimated]

Did somebody say prison? I heard somebody say prison!

you chose perfectly never be sorry

[wellwellwell]

if there's no way out of here besides "release" then it sure seems like a prison to me.

[wellwellwell]

yeah, i'm not buying into their 1984 bullshit.

[heartofbakerst]

I wouldn't either, quite frankly.

John Watson. Dr. John Watson, at your service. I run a small surgery in town. You know, in case you find yourself in trouble and don't want to go somewhere stupid.

[wellwellwell]

thanks. i'll keep that in mind.

[heartofbakerst]

There seem to be a lot of people willing to help, but if you've got any questions, I'll be happy to take them. New Moore can get... interesting.

au where i respond to literally anything in a timely manner

[reanimated]

How many prisons d'you know of on tropical islands that keep letting in beautiful women such as yourself?

i could do this for months idc

[wellwellwell]

ugh. pass.

[reanimated]

I'M SIMPLY STATING FACTS

[wellwellwell]

so am i. pass.

[reanimated]

Oh come on now, we got off to a bad start. Look. I've been here for ages, I can help you. Tell you things! Secret things! Secret number one: I wouldn't worry too much about whether or not it's a prison cos the volcano's probably due for another eruption soon and we could do with some mass chaos. See? I'm so fucking helpful.

[wellwellwell]

mass chaos, huh. i'm listening. got any other secrets?
