[in the mess hall, you could ignore the new guy; he'd like you to. But given that he's muttering to himself with ascending volume and jabbing his fork repeatedly into a bowl of soup, pulling out bits to examine with a queasy look before putting them on a napkin on the table and going after another piece, well, it wouldn't be much fun not to listen in, right? New guys are a riot.]

Okay, you like to think that you're really good at taking things in stride. Turns out that the job you took over hiatus is in a zombie prison camp? No problem, you're cool, these things happen. Turns out there's a lot of different worlds connecting in this place and you're probably not even in your own world anymore? Fine, fine, you can take it. At least no one's died in the first few hours of you realizing something's wrong, which is, sad to say, a step up.

But Tony, I think you're hitting your limit here - the talking in third person thing, always a good clue for when you're on the edge! Knock it off, get a grip. Was a bowl of cereal really too much to ask? Maybe they thought I meant 'serial' as in 'serial murders' 'cause I'm counting at least three people who died to make this bowl alone and-

-shit, this place is way worse than I thought.

[apparently, someone never got all the standard warnings. That's what he gets for acting cool instead of freaking out! If you're feeling generous, maybe you can lend him a hand - or just laugh at him, if you're not.]

(ooc: likely to be slow, please be gentle! edit: class, back in about two hours, will pick up then. edit 2: back and picking up Mostly braindead, will pick up dropped threads tomorrow!)
