[Cassel starts the new year off hungover. He rises late after karaoke, but he does rise, his limbs feeling heavy and leaden as he heads to the gym.]

[It's weird; he's got the craziest feeling that time is pressing down on him, that if he doesn't start off this year right he'll be letting everybody down. That everyone he passes is looking at him, too. Paranoia left over from seeing his family, probably, but it feels real. He smiles at everyone who comes in as he's cleaning and tidying, doing the work he didn't do over the past few days, but he feels hemmed in, overwhelmed, pushed against by anything and everything.]

[Those who know him well might notice he's frowning more and smiling wider when he smiles at all. His masks aren't as good as they should be. He complains loudly and with good cheer about the food at lunch in the dining hall, sits down with near-strangers, touches the people he loves on the back as he passes their tables.]

Hey, so. What the hell is Mickey's deal anyway?

You and me, we've got a date. You ready?

Yo, so anybody who uses the gym on a regular basis might have noticed it's kind of trashed at the moment. That's my bad, I'm sorry about it. I haven't figured out how to clone myself, so for the time being it's just me working in there.

I need a magician's assistant. Anybody interested? Perks include me liking you, your theoretical warden getting off your ass a little bit, not being bored to death, and karma points.

( ooc; cassel is still emotion-worked! as detailed in these posts. pp for more details if desired! )

Is this the part where you start threatening me? Yawn.

Quite the opposite.

What.

He's already informed me that threatening you would be a very.... wrong thing to do.

[He chuckles.]

And besides, I am here to make amends. Not to make threats.

Ever hear about how actions speak louder than words?

Then give me a chance and those actions can be shown.

After all, Chris is my warden. He has the power to punish me should something go badly, correct? So you have that as your guarantee.

Yeah, the problem with your logic, though, is that you're acting like it's my responsibility to take the first step here. It's not. It's yours. I don't believe you're actually sorry, and I know what you sound like when you lie.

[Another chuckle.]

I thought I was taking a step by offering my services...

But if you are so very afraid of me, then so be it. I will find some other thing to occupy my time with.

It's not about being afraid, it's about not being stupid. It's about not getting burned twice.

Ah, but that was not personally me, was it? If I have been brought back here then that means I have another chance with the Admiral, even if I cannot recall being here in the past... what was it? Four times, I think somebody said.

But perhaps he thinks that this time I have learned something beyond what I knew before.

Any idea what that might be?

My only guess is that I am further along in the future. Others have merely told me that they have seen me here before, not what I may have told them.

But recent events... Well, they may be important to such a thing as redemption.

What recent events?

Oh, you know, saving lives. Sacrificing oneself for others. That sort of thing.

That should count for something, surely.

Not until you save my life.

Well, let me know the next time you are in danger and I shall rush to your rescue.

I'll definitely put you on my speed-dial.
