[The video clicks on, and hey Barge, it's Peter again. He looks a lot less sweaty, exhausted and covered in blood than the last time he made a post, considering the cuts on his face have been cleaned and bandaged and he's gotten some sleep, but he still looks a little like hell and he knows it.

At least he was smart enough to make this post when he wasn't all rambly thanks to painkillers, right?]

Hi, uh, take two, I guess. [And that would be a sort of self depreciating smile.] My name's Peter, I'm a warden, and I guess I'm gonna be here for a while.

[... Wait no that's not right.] Not in the infirmary, for a while, I mean, you know, on the Barge. For a while.

Sorry for making kind of a scene the other day, things got kind of crazy before I got here. [Which is the understatement of the century, but. Anyway, moving along.] And thanks for all the offers to help out. I definitely appreciate it.

So, uh, if there's anything I should know about working here, let me know? Thanks.

[Filtered to Tim and Alex]

Thanks for getting me to the infirmary. Sorry if I got any blood on you.

[Spam for Banner]

[Peter wasn't dumb enough to try and sneak out of the infirmary until he got the all clear from the infirmary staff, and on top of that, he really was kind of exhausted. Spending most of the previous night trying to save the city while getting the crap kicked out of you was not really something most people just walked off the day afterward.

Still, he wasn't really planning on spending the entire day napping, and when he caught sight of the doctor who had treated him, he perked up a little and called out to him.]

Hey, uh, Doctor Banner?

Guess so. How long have you been here?

[most_feared]

A little over a coupla years on and off.

[myresponsibility]

Is that normal? I mean, I knew this would take a while, but a couple years is kind of, you know, intimidating.

[most_feared]

I've graduated two inmates in that time. So no, not too normal.

[myresponsibility]

That's still pretty impressive.

[most_feared]

The longer you stick with an inmate, better chance there is of them graduating. But sometimes you end up with bad match-ups and you gotta switch.

[myresponsibility]

How many have you had?

[most_feared]

Five. Two of 'em just... disappeared, though. That happens here, too. I don't wish that one on anybody. Never had to ask for a split.

Megamind is my current one. Blue. Alien. Gives speeches. Can't miss 'im.

[myresponsibility]

[Peter's torn between what do you mean, people disappear and omfg aliens.

Unfortunately, his nerd self wins out for the moment. B(]

There are aliens here?

[most_feared]

Oh yeah. There are aliens here.

[He actually finds this funnier than his face would otherwise indicate.]

[myresponsibility]

Wow. Is that like, common? I mean, I guess if the whole multiverse has potential to be represented here, it should be, but I wasn't really thinking about it as a possibility when I made my deal.

[most_feared]

We had a pretty good population of 'em for a while. And some of them aren't exactly what you'd expect [to be real]. Most of them like talking about their cultures, if you ever wanna get into it. Got some mutants and some human subspecies, too.

[myresponsibility]

Mutants?

[most_feared]

Mutants. The ah.... mutations might vary greatly. Some of 'em key in on probability. Some of 'em on matter. Some of 'em on the electrical ticks in your brain.

Metahumans were around for a while too, and they're real similar to that. I haven't seen any in a while.

[myresponsibility]

How does that happen?

[most_feared]

They're born like that. New abilities, new genes.

There are a few that have artificial mutations; they've been in an accident. It's given them a little something extra. Mostly scientists. And there are super soldiers that were suped up to help out with wars. Some of 'em changed from base human. Some of 'em engineered that way.

[myresponsibility]

Right. That sounds crazy.

[most_feared]

A little bit.

And I didn't get into the hunters and the sorcerers. Got those too. If you got a supernatural issue, they're good for it. There's only two vampires here- they can give you two different takes on the whole thing if you ask 'em.

[myresponsibility]

[Alright, trying to shake off the whole omg there are other people like me maybe shock, because lol don't tell people about that Parker. :V]

Next thing you know, you're gonna be telling me there are Jedis on board, too.

[most_feared]

Not anymore.

[myresponsibility]

Seriously?

[most_feared]

I talked to Princess Leia more than once. She was friends with Captain Kirk. [And he might have absconded with Uhura but shhhh.]

[myresponsibility]

That's unreal. Sorry I missed them.
