ADMIRAL REQUESTS
New Admiral Request Page Found Here

Post your requests to the Admiral below (and also a note if you would specifically like that request to be rejected), and we will get to them in a timely manner. All Admiral requests (with the exception of Inmate resurrections) must go through this post, and their approval cannot be handwaved. Additionally, requests will only be granted to Wardens.

Unless otherwise specifically noted, all threads on this post are considered to be Private.

Though the Barge does not speak in any traditional way and is not reachable by communicator, it is sentient, and characters occasionally reach out to it via tapping on walls in Morse Code, spelling out messages in alphabet-letter fridge magnets, and other creative methods; if your character decides to try this, those messages may be dropped here as well!

You can certainly make requests, but the final decision is mine.

[dead_boy]

Right. That's what I thought.

Why do you do it at all? All this. What do you get out of it?

[bargemods]

Well, someone has to, petal.

[dead_boy]

And that someone has to be you?

[bargemods]

[Dryly]

With great power comes great responsibility.

[dead_boy]

[Yeah, that's how humans work. Sometimes. Not gods.]

And you don't get anything out of it.

[Skeptical Nico is skeptical.]

[bargemods]

Are you looking for a catch, ангелочек?

[dead_boy]

There's always a catch.

[bargemods]

I get very little out of it beyond my passengers' delightful company.

[There is a certain amount of fondness in the comment, but also a certain amount of sarcasm.]

[dead_boy]

Very little, [he repeats.] That's not nothing.

[bargemods]

I've also picked up a few bad habits and a smattering of Russian.

You'll have to be a little more specific if you want a more specific answer, ангелочек.

[dead_boy]

Wait, why Russian?

[Excuse him for getting sidetracked.]

[bargemods]

It was the native language of a particularly helpful passenger. Some years ago, now.

[dead_boy]

Must've been a really helpful passenger. [To stand out among all the other native languages.

Anyway. Not much of an answer, but that's not the one he's after anyway.

Granted, he's getting the feeling that he's not going to get the one he wants, either. But he'll give it one more try.]

I just want to know, specifically, why you do this. Is it just what you were made to do?

[bargemods]

It's not what I was made to do, Nico. It's a chosen profession.

Tell me, why do you want to know? Specifically.

[dead_boy]

Because one of the inmates wants to know, but you don't really talk to them directly. So I said I'd ask for him.

[bargemods]

Do let him know that I talk to inmates directly. I simply won't grant their requests.

And you can tell him that I do this job because someone has to. If it weren't me it would be someone else.

[And who knows how well they'd do the job?]

[dead_boy]

[Huh. Well,] Okay. Neither of us were sure.

I guess that's as good an answer as any, though.

Thanks.

[bargemods]

You're welcome, ангелочек.
