Who, aside from our very talented and passionate Shakespearean actor, "Desmond Wolf," has an interest in theatre? I was thinking of directing a play. I can't help but notice that the stage in the dining hall is dreadfully underused.

The play I had in mind is called "The Pillowman." It's a small cast but a fairly decent play from the early 21st

I would be happy to audition.

I'm glad to hear it, Marquis, and I look forward to seeing you perform.

Wonderful. Sets were a concern for me, but I figured if all else failed, I could appeal to the Admiral. It feels much more authentic to have actual set building take place, though.

[triggered_it]

Indeed. I normally have very little to do with that aspect, however. Organization was always more my forte, organization and money.

21st? By whose count?

[triggered_it]

The Gregorian and Julian calendars: Earth calendars.

I'm sorry if I lack the knowledge that would allow me to put the date into terms more familiar to you.

[darknessb4me]

That's fine, I'll go...see what I can find in the library. Not like I have a hell of a lot else going on.

I didn't take you as the type who would have any interest in books or art.

Have I misread you?

[empirical_data]

I would be interested. I have been involved in many live productions.

I'm glad to hear it.

I don't believe we've met. I'm Adrian Veidt. It's a pleasure.

[empirical_data]

Data. You are the inmate under Martha Jones, correct? I am familiar with her. [He's not sure whether he can call her friend yet, he believes so because she lent him Disney movies.]

[triggered_it]

Yes, I am.

Martha Jones is a good warden and a good person. I trust she has been helpful to you? [Half lying about the first part. Displeased that Data knows anything about him, and hates the term "inmate," but hiding ittttt.]

[stopthat_destro]

Well. Good luck with your production.

[triggered_it]

Thank you.

If nothing else, I'm sure it will keep me busy.

[stopthat_destro]

Yes, we could all use something to pass the time between crises and ports and floods... It's refreshing to see somebody taking a more productive route.

[triggered_it]

In any case, it's something that will hopefully take everyone's mind off whatever weekly crises comes next. I've always found art to be an excellent source of distraction, and some people could use a little Katharsis.

Who knows, perhaps regular performances would even prove helpful. [light, faked laughter.] Good art presents feeling for our understanding, after all.
