CG: SO THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO POST OF THE BUNCH.
So, ummmmmm.
[ Cue a teenage boy addressing the network! Well, he's sort of like a teenage boy, if teenage boys were grey and had sharp nails and tiny candy corn horns. There are bags under his eyes like he hasn't slept in about, uh, a decade, and he rubs at one of them in irritation, his lips peeling back into a bit of a snarl. ]
What gives? Exactly? I sign up for one thing and get a-fucking-nother? What the everloving turd is up with that? Oh, hey, guys, Karkat's showed up, let's all change the rules and move everything around and really confuse everyone and shit! Haha! Thank you and fuck you very kindly!
[ He pauses a beat, face still screwed up into something irritated - 'tch', he punctuates everything with a glance off to the side and seems to be thinking hard about something. ]
I'm going to look for apple juice. Because I know some asshole and he never shuts the actual bleeding fuck up about apple juice. If I can find anything on this thing!!

What's so nice about a dumb room? No, you know what, tell me: Is this supposed ambrosia so fantastic as I've been hearing? Because I've heard songs (read: whinings) of it crowed for fucking days in my general direction.
video;
They've taken away everything else that made this place bearable, just about.
...Isn't ambrosia like, orange juice and coconut? I've never had it, but it sounds good.
video;
... Ew. What? Food of the motherfucking gods, it means, a clown told me. What kind of shitfest food would orange juice and coconuts be? A really shitty fest.

[ But back to that first question. ]
There used to be a bar, a pool, a spa, a special training room... All sorts of cool things.

[ Oh, that's actually rough. He assumes, he wasn't really hear to experience it, but, hey, things to do are things to do. ] The hell does that leave left? Fucking board games?
video;
Assuming none of the pieces are potential weapons, yes. Everything's been nailed to the floor, too.
video;
Well, that's just common sense. Some asshat can't just march his way in and make with the table-flipping ragefit of childishness. [ He doesn't know anything about those. ]
video;
We don't actually get a whole lot of literal table flipping. Most of our childish rage fits involve significantly more violent murder.
video;
Well, that's easy - they probably care more about the tables than us.
video;
I'm Steph. Welcome to the barge.

[ Another beat, and then: ] You've been here that long?
video;
Yeah. Still haven't managed to graduate anyone.
video;
Yeah? Shit luck with inmates or are you just not very good at it?
video;
Bad luck, mostly.
video;
Sounds pretty fucking frustrating. How the hell do you move past that?
video;
Years of experience with failure.
video;
Well, at least you're honest about it.
video;
Anyway, people make mistakes. That's kind of what this place is about. Nobody's perfect.
video;
Yeah, I suppose. The point therein being to get them a little more perfect than they're already flying, though.
