[here, have a video. It's a smiling, pleasant-looking man in his mid thirties. He has the calm air of someone who has practiced saying this into the camera a few times.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Jarod DiCaprio, and I've recently taken post on board this ship along with a few new wardens. I'll begin serving on board staring just about---[he looks at his watch]---now. That's a good time to start, I think.

I look forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to hear from you soon.

I am gonna fucking kill you. Just a fair fucking warning.

Keep your fucking ass away from Parker and you might just save your fucking skin.

And by the way. I'm a warden and no, I don't give a shit.

It's very nice to meet you, too. You're one of Miss Parker's friends?

No shit, dumbass.

[cheery] Does your inmate find your presumptive attitude off-putting at all?

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

I ain't making any presumptions. I'm decent to my guys, whoever they are.

But I ain't taking any shit to any of my friends, alright. That's how I fucking do.

Considering you don't know me and in the space of the last few minutes have managed to presume I'm going to bother Miss Parker, presume that your status as Warden would have any basis to my opinion of you, presume that my intellect is lower than that of an unintelligent donkey's, and presume that I'm easy enough to kill that you can still warn me about it first, I'd say that "presumptive" is a fairly accurate assessment of you.

Along with vulgar. Is the language really necessary amongst two professionals?

Re: private

I warned you because I don't want to fucking have to do it. Sod fucking presumptions, I'm just making it fucking clear from the off. I dunno what you'll do or what you want to fucking do.

But lemme fucking make it clear; if you fuck with anyone around these parts, but especially with people I fucking care about, I'll have your head. End of.

I don't wanna fucking do it. And I talk like I talk, fucking deal with that too.

Well, so long as Miss Parker doesn't intend on imprisoning me against my will for another thirty years, I have no intention of "fucking" with her. Sexually or otherwise. And while I'm sure we will have to interact, as both of us are Wardens, I pose no sexual threat to you, either.

Though your concern for Miss Parker is exemplary.

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

I don't intend on standing for her doing anything that fucking stupid either, trust me on that.

I don't need your fucking credit either, thanks, mate.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

She did for a very long time on our world. It might be instinctual for her.

You value your friendships enough to consider acknowledging them an insult? That's good. She needs friends like that. [and believe it or not, this is not said with a patronizing tone, he genuinely means that]

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

Well, you give her a fucking chance.

I value my fucking friends and family more than anything else, don't you fucking worry.

private

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I intend to. It's all a matter if the welcoming committee here is willing to give me a chance.

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

Sure most of them will, mate, but just know, I've got a fucking bias and I ain't afraid of it.

private

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

At least you're very self-aware.

But tell me, the bias comes from your friendship with Miss Parker? What does she think I'm going to do to her?

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

I'm self-aware and not a fucking idiot. Not answering that question. Me saying this has nothing to do with her.

private

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I never implied you were stupid, Mr---?

The point is, knowing that I'm part of Miss Parker's former life and fearing that I'm going to do something that will hurt her are not mutually exclusive. She's said something to you that makes you worried.

Re: private

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

Maguire, for your information.

Yeah, well, you don't get to know that shit. End of.
