[Jane is in a common room, arranging Scrabble tiles into various words. The lights are flickering, but she doesn’t even seem to notice. They go off for a full thirty seconds, just as she’s about to speak. She sighs, waiting, until they come back on. In that time, she managed to finish a few words. In the darkness.] We have these…things…at home.

Sexby's ...

Shit.

Jane, are you all-no, never mind. Where are you?

Private

[thebestnose]

Seventh floor. [A giggle.]

Why?

Private

[mrs_persson]

Want some company?

Re: Private

Do you know how to play Scrabble?

Private

[iam_aghost]

Ghosts are... tricky, I think.

[pause, as she is very much not sober.]

Perhaps you ought to find someone to play with. [He'd offer, but inmates missing. :(]

Perhaps you should ask them to bring you coffee.

Private

[thebestnose]

I don't like it. I don't like...

And I'll play if someone comes.

Jane, how much have you had to drink?

Re: Private

[thebestnose]

Drink? Of what?

I had tea!

[strangehstorian]

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you alright?

[thebestnose]

Yes. Well, I am now.

Private

[19centconstable]

Yes, of course. Anything.

Re: Private

[thebestnose]

Tonight. Meet me tonight.

Re: Private

[19centconstable]

Alright. Have you got some sort of plan?

Re: Private

[thebestnose]

Plan?

[doctor_j_crane]

My next warden will be my sixth. Your inmate score is fairly normal.

[thebestnose]

[A pretty girlish giggle.] Six? What happens to them?

[doctor_j_crane]

They just wander off. Presumably they get bored.

[thebestnose]

Well, it must be nice to have that luxury.
