[Anyone who's met Jacobi for more than fifteen seconds would be forgiven in thinking that this isn't Jacobi. This isn't the same man who packed explosives gleefully while being a sarcastic brat all at the same time. But Jacobi knows this. He knows what this is. So he's cheerful in a way that he had to once be literally programmed into.]

Hey guys! This isn't so bad, right? We're definitely going to be alright, aren't we? I mean! At least we have some food and water and a place to sleep! That's progress and something we can look forward to! We just need to work together and keep our chins up, right?

[It's easy to play the part when he isn't actually with anyone else. But Jacobi is frayed at the edges, and he knows that this won't last. There's even a time when he wishes for the regulator again. The very thing that had taken his freedom from him. And those times are when he paces his room like a caged tiger.

And that room is as much his prison as he makes it. Jacobi doesn't leave his room except when forced to work or forced to sing or forced to be social. He will take visitors, but he won't be pleasant to be around. He knows he can't graduate that way, but it just feels so good to be angry. Especially at first.]

Oh I intend to. And then get out of here as quickly as I can.

Re: Audio

If you can manage that, I wish you all the luck.

[Blanky can't see a way out of here, yet, but perhaps a chance will appear. Or perhaps not. He's not sure.]

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Surely you haven't given up? What are you? Patient or assistant?

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

I'm an assistant. And I'd rather not walk blind into even worse than this.

[He thinks the Clipper is a better option than many and he's not going to make a move until he's sure it'll be a good one.]

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Well, you're one step ahead of me.

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

Are you a patient, then?

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Uh yeah.

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

You seem an able fellow. You could help people.

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Sounds great! I'll get on that!

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

You needn't make fun. We're all stuck here together.

[Is he supposed to be perpetually cheerful? Probably. But he's not that sort.]

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Some of us are more stuck than others.

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

True. I doubt you're the only patient here from the Barge, though.

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

Yippee.

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

Would you rather be alone?

Re: Audio

[mrballisticsdummy]

How antisocial of me.

Re: Audio

[fork_off]

Being here is hell for you, isn't it?

[He finds the bright cheeriness too much at times and he's having a dawning feeling that it's worse for Jacobi.]
