I think I like...whatever that was...more than regular floods. At least no one is stuck thinking 'this isn't right!' when they see their friends acting strangely.

I don't suppose it matters much, though. We'll get what we get. The...luck of the draw, yes?

[It's morning and Sveta's getting ready for the day. She's humming "Shenandoah" softly to herself. Pinning a lock of hair from her face, she finally looks to the camera as if she had forgotten it was there. Of course, this is all a show.]

This town has not been this way in quite a while. I can't help but think that this is going to just get worse. [ ( Read more... )

There has to be something in the water these past few weeks. Or maybe I'm just starting to pay attention more. Either way, I wish it would stop. There are so many other things to do.

And if there aren't...well, we can invent something!

[There's a long, long pause as she's about to stop and then remembers something. Her next words are a touch sad.] ( Read more... )

I think I'm happy to know that my mother was here. [There's a bit of a laugh.] And in good enough health to clean my room, it seems.

But I know not everyone was as pleased. That's...somewhat unfortunate, but it's to be expected. Sometimes people can be hurtful, even to those they're supposed to care about.

[Sveta looks angry. Not just "Oh, I'm out of tea" angry but..."I'm going to punch someone in the face" angry. She's sporting a small scratch down her cheek, made by a fingernail, and a bruise on the side of her face that she's attempted to cover with makeup. Elbows hurt when they hit faces. Normally, she wouldn't do a video post ( Read more... )

Did we not just have a flood like that? Only...with the inmates? It was before Christmas, wasn't it?

Admiral, you're getting lazy! [And she laughs...then pauses.] Oops. I...probably shouldn't have said that. [OH WELL.] Hopefully it won't come back to bite me. Or us.

Hmm...I am glad to see that most of us [She's looking at YOU, Eddie] managed to ( Read more... )

[Sveta's completely sunburned by this point and has taken shelter underneath one of the trees. Despite it all, she's grinning like a fool, her hair dripping wet. She has completely taken to this port. After finding some food and water, she's decided that nothing's going to bring her down today. She has the camera on her knees, so it's an awkward ( Read more... )

[Filtered to Sveta's friends/all the Doctors/Infirmary staff/Snape/Rose/Jack]Tonight, Martha and I are planning a small, well, we'll just call it a party, on deck. You're welcome to bring anyone and anything else you want. Inmates, wardens, it doesn't matter. As long as we can be civil to each other ( Read more... )

Talbot is no longer on the Barge. I discovered it two days ago but...I didn't want to make a premature announcement about it. [Denial. It is a beautiful thing.] I don't know why and I don't know where he went.

[She hesitates. Then...in Russian, continues.]

I suppose it's too much to hope for this time around.

Dammit.

[Sveta's not quite ready for much yet, but at least she's able to get out and about more. She starts the post off with a sigh, but she eventually finds her voice.]

For anyone who saw my last post as a child...the monster...is a stuffed alligator. Given to me by Doctor Hix. His name is Boris. [There might have been a giggle there, but it's gone ( Read more... )
