[After the Nurse explains the situation, Norton mulls it over for a little while. He'd wanted be a warden, but this wasn't exactly what he had in mind. Still, he can make this work for him, might even come out ahead. It's certainly a far better outcome than he'd been expecting when they'd first been told the Authority was closing in on them. This is the best chance he's had in the last two years to be saved from ever being sent back to his fate in the time loop of forever dying. Because if there's one thing he can do very well, it's act happy no matter what. Once, to save his life, he made himself grin his way through weeks of alien suburbia hell giving cheerful open house tours of modern kitchens and also leading whole families to mass graves. Compared to that, this is child's play. Possibly literally if the décor is anything to go by. A few months of this and he can save himself.

And so he smiles brightly as he appears on the network in the morning for the first time.]


Good morning, my ducklings, it's another bright and shiny day here on our good clipper ship. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Norton. I'm a new Assistant. Isn't that dolly! And I'm so very looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. But for now, let's start the day off with the right spirit.

[And with that he starts singing Accentuate the Positive.]

I take back everything I've said.

I'm pretty sure I actually hate you. [Really getting off to a good start on this positivity thing.]

First step is radical honesty. [He could really use a cigarette.]

Have you seen Dad anywhere?
skitter: (Danger Zone)

[personal profile] skitter 2022-08-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sick, they didn't let me bring my forki- my bugs.

If you're a warden here, is there any way to find out where he is? Or- I can't find Jon or Tim, I can't feel Shen Wei...

My name's Hua Cheng. [Such a friendly young man, pleased to meet a new coworker. If there's a sense of something insincere under his smile, well, no one's been able to prove it to the Nurse yet.]

[ He'll get to see her clap and do a little happy twirl at his response. She's so glad he's glad to be here. ]

I'm glad you think so. I've been here for a while, so if there's anything I can do to help make things better for you, let me know! I'm happy to help.

[ Norton may be able to tell the mix of genuine joy and excellent customer service voice she's got going. Time in the public eye, greeting fans, doing events and talk shows... she knows how to be positive and upbeat and make it look good. ]

You know, it's kinda funny that you said 'ducklings', cause my name is Duck? But I'm not a duckling, obviously, I'm just a totally normal girl.
