workbackwards[There's nothing interesting going on here in this rather plain bedroom. Not too many posters, but there are labels on everything that describe actions like turn off the light, make the bed, turn off alarm. In addition to those labels, there's a young man whose alarm clock is blaring at the top of its mechanical lungs until he rolls over and slaps it into silence. He slowly drags himself out of bed, shirtless with a long scar running down from the nape of his neck across his shoulder and down his arm, and shuffles to the closest window, pushing the curtain aside to place his hand against the glass. He stands there for a moment as a confused frown forms on his face, only to shove the drapes back and come face to face with... space. The final frontier.
It's not what Chris Pratt expected. It's supposed to be Kansas City out there.
He hurries back to bed, knocking off knickknacks off his nighttable until he comes across a small notebook with a red cover. Chris flips through it once, twice, three, and then a fourth time, looking for something that isn't there. And in a fit of something that's a mixture of panic, fear, and frustration, he throws the notepad across the room and begins stomping towards the door.]
Where the fuck am I? Lewis? Lewis!

Date: Sunday, June 10th, 2012 07:00 pm (UTC)You're confusing me.

Date: Sunday, June 10th, 2012 07:02 pm (UTC)It's not really jail. It's more like... rehab.

Date: Sunday, June 10th, 2012 07:07 pm (UTC)Do I need to go back into the wheelchair? Because I walk fine now. I just forget things a lot.
[Wrong kind of rehab, kid.]
video;
Date: Sunday, June 10th, 2012 08:29 pm (UTC)No, it's not that kind of rehab. It's more like the mental and emotional kind.

But that guy with my face said we're dead. What's the point?

Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 04:08 pm (UTC)Though I think some people choose to go... other places, when they leave. Other universes. And some people who graduate stay here, and become wardens. It'll be your choice, when you get to that point.

Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 05:05 pm (UTC)[Chris has a lot of other logical questions but he can't make sense of them so he's going to only ask the simplest ones and pretend to not be an idiot in front of a cute girl. He's already cried in front of one, so he's zero for zero right now.]
I don't know what I would do. [Go home, back to Lewis, back to the bank robbery, back to whatever's left for him. What else does he have?]
video;
Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 05:12 pm (UTC)But - don't worry about it. You're not supposed to have all the answers. Not that anyone ever does, anyway, but that's kind of the point of being here. To figure some of this stuff out.

Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 07:22 pm (UTC)That makes no... [He trails off in the middle of his sentence because... this is Chris. It happens.] What's your name again?
[Again. Like she gave it to him in the first place.]

Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 07:29 pm (UTC)Ariadne. And you're Chris, right? [That's what Arthur called him.]
This place is pretty confusing, but there are lots of people around willing to help.

How do you spell that?
video;
Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 07:42 pm (UTC)I run the art room, if that's something you're interested in.
video;
Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 07:48 pm (UTC)I don't know. Arthur said something about getting a job. I was a janitor at a bank, but I don't want to do that anymore.
video;
Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 08:04 pm (UTC)I doubt it'll be janitor - that's reserved mostly as punishment.
But until you get a warden, you're welcome to hang out at the art room.

Date: Monday, June 11th, 2012 08:20 pm (UTC)Sure. All levels of ability are welcome. Heck, I'm not the greatest drawer ever, myself.
