236 [It's almost like Deja Vu]

[impure_tale]

Where the FUCK are my manuscripts?!

[The Marquis looks...different. There are few remaining on the Barge that remember when he used to wear a wig, or dress in a fashion befitting the time he came from. Perhaps if people recall how he appeared during the Mirror floods, they might have some idea. Another thing of note, however? He's older somehow, as one of the boons he was granted at graduation was an extra twenty years of youth. What's more? He's quite unhinged, eyes wide and bulbous with rage, frazzled, and it's quite apparent that in the background he's torn his desk apart looking for what appears to be missing.]

Romana, I will kill that little worm and you will not stop me.

[He's pacing like an agitated tiger in a cage.]

By the Holy Virgin's bearded cunt, if he's damaged them I'll carve their replacements in his dimpled backside!

Marvelous. They lock me in a box with nothing but my characters to keep me company and now the creations of other people have come to visit.

It's expected that yeh don't believe. The Barge is acting up again, I'll expect.

You said warden. You're an inmate?

[Another eye roll. He expects people to know this already.]

Yes, for some weeks now. It's not as though there are many of us.

[Because the Barge could not have had a population of more than twenty back then.]

[Jones gives a bit of a laugh, amazed]

Then I've gone backwards. It's no small wonder yeh don't know who I am. We haven't formally met.

[He is still only half-hearing the whole 'this is a flood' bit and by now refuses to be distracted from his own anger.]

This is all very fascinating, but I've a smarmy, round-headed little shit to find and gut.

He won't be here.

Your warden. He's gone.

SHE.

[Said with a certain ferocity. He's grown very attached to her since they were paired together.]

[Video]

[tentacruelest]

She, then.

She.

I ain't seen hide nor hair of her. You'll have to make do without, this flood.
