fifty-three ➢ video

[Cassel's in his room, rearranging his drawer of scraps in some order discernible only to him. Ilia is perched on a high shelf, his eyes narrowed and tail twitching, disturbed by the commotion and looking ready to jump down onto Cassel's shoulders at any moment. As he rummages, Cassel addresses the camera; the moment he turns towards it, a bruise slides into view on his left temple, light and mottled black. He seems not to notice it.]

A few things. First of all, if anybody who's not all Admiral-ed up has a problem with the power outages, I think - I think I can make flashlights and lamps that don't need to be powered. [He's speaking specifically to Morgana here, but he doesn't know everybody's hangups, either, so he's leaving it open to the Barge as a whole.]

Second of all, has anybody actually gotten anywhere with the ship? Steering it or anything? Because this seems like it's getting kind of. Critical. [As Dean so astutely pointed out.]

Last thing - I know nobody cares right now, but we still need staff for the gym. At least one more person. If you feel like going slightly less stir-crazy while we're marooned in the middle of nowhere, apply now.

[He watches for a moment as JB leans into the scratching, then glances back to Cassel and smirks.]

Yeah, I'll try not to let the place get too fucked up. 'Least not on your lunch break.

[Eggsy frowns deeply at that sound.]

Not fussed. I can take the evenin' shift if that's easier.

[...but really now.]

And mate, your shoulders ain't meant to make that noise.
formerself: (yeah whatever)

[He is not a shoulderologist. But if he was going to be asking questions he'd start with the bruise on his temple, and since they're still barely more than strangers, he figures that's Cassel's business.]

I don't think so. [A pause.] T'Pol? Am I sayin' that right?

[Approximately yes, but the implicit question is what kind of a name is T'Pol.]

[Eggsy nods. 'Don't mess with people until they mess with you first' is pretty much the code he lives by, so, he can manage that.]

Alright. Don't punch Mickey, don't mess with T'Pol. Can do.

formerself: (:C)

[Not unpredictably, he chooses the former.]

Where else'm I gonna go? Can't cook, not a doctor, not a librarian. But I know my way 'round all this.
formerself: (that is sick)

No shit. So how come you ended up workin' here?

[And he does specifically mean 'in the gym, if you didn't know anything about gym equipment' because broader questions about why people are on the Barge seems to be one of those things you don't ask.]

Oh, you was an inmate?

[He gives him a curious headtilt.]

Lot of people stick around, don't they.

[Eggsy makes a noise that's half bemused and half concerned.]

So what, you're gonna be here forever?

[Eggsy sees the flash before it's pulled under. And immediately he feels like kind of a shithead, because it's not like he hasn't been on the receiving end of that question and variations thereupon for half his life. Are you going to be on this estate your whole life, Gary? Don't you have more ambition than that?

He doesn't apologise explicitly but it's there on his face.]

Fuck knows I don't. You gonna go get your lunch? I'll hold down the fort.

[He offers a very similar crooked smile in return.]

That another rule, is it? Alright, do my best.

[He watches Cassel go, then makes a start on getting acquainted with the gym as a workplace.]
