[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.

Yeah, there's a lot of gay guys here, I don't know what's up with that.

Lucky you.

I don't know, most of the guys I think are hot were straight, though. ... Maybe. Some of 'em I don't know for sure.

Which ones aren't you sure about? Maybe I can tell you.

Um... I don't know. It probably don't matter much, 'cause I ain't exactly looking.

I don't think I'm looking.

I haven't decided yet.

Let me know if you are. I'll vet 'em for you.

I don't hit on my friends unless they hit on me first. It's a rule I got.

What if they've got the same rule? Then nobody's ever gonna get hit on.

... Good point. I never thought about it like that.

But with my guy friends who I think are good-looking and who I would maybe have sex with, the problem is I like 'em as friends too. And I like 'em enough that I wouldn't want to make things all awkward.

Find a telepath to read their minds?

[She laughs.]

Yeah, gonna get Jean in on this shit.

... But, you know, I talk big about hitting on other people. Flirt with Zach a little bit; I know he would do me if I said yes to him. But the truth of it is I ain't really trying to get over Mason like I say I am.

[He nods.]

Sometimes it feels good to love somebody, even if they don't love you back.

Yeah, it does. And maybe I'm missing out on other opportunities, with other people, and maybe that ain't a good thing. But I can't change how I feel.

Sometimes you can still love somebody and move on anyway.

You speaking from experience?

Yeah.

There was a girl. Her name was Lila. But we weren't . . . good for each other.

Why not?

Lots of reasons. But mostly because I wanted her to kill me.

... What?

You're serious? Why'd you want that? Were you, like, suicidal or something?

Not really. I didn't want anybody to kill me, I wanted it to be her. And she wanted to kill me sometimes, too, I think. Because I hurt her pretty badly, and she wanted revenge.

Oh.

I can, uh... no offense, but I can see why that didn't work out.

Why'd you want it to be her?

[He grins.] Don't worry. None taken.

I think because I thought I deserved it. Because of what I did to her, you know?

What did you do?

I turned her into a cat. For three years.

I didn't mean to, it just kind of happened.

... You got some weird relationship drama, Cassel.

It's been pretty weird, yeah. Being here has been practically normal, comparatively.
