A Crab Dressed like a Dementor, Pack Lunches, and Pie

[Private to Ned.]

I need help.


[Spam for Kelsier]

[He gave Kelsier time to hide, because - well, he's not a complete hypocrite. But he's knocking on Kel's door now, and he's just as willing to pick the lock as he was on the other barge.]


[Private to Alpha]

I can't see anything on the communicator screens, so I don't know what your room looks like. But if you have not yet acquired a replacement for your recessed pit, I could make a fabric hammock.

They're...easier to move around than solid furniture, if you change your mind about what you want where.



[Spam for Nathan, backdated to several days after the mirror even but before White Flag - 5th or 6th?]

[He knocks only once. He has cherry-raspberry pie.]


[Open Spam all over the barge, from a few days after the mirror event through White Flag, particularly relevant to Jean, Cassel, Alex, Zane, and Ryan, because you guys now have a pointy extra shadow.]

[Several months of memories of being used as a brutal nightmare of a weapon have made Marsh even more skittish, if possible, than he was when he first board the barge. He skulks and lurks and generally keeps to the corners of the regrettably well-lit corridors. He ducks into empty cabins when people pass in the halls, and he collects food at odd times. It is, however, less absent than his usual hermitage, because he's actively stalking a few people at a distance whenever they emerge from hiding.]


[OOC: feel free to run into him while he's watching out for someone else, or if you want to say your character was chopped to pieces once or a dozen times by mind controlled!Marsh in the mirror event, he might feel obligated to quasi-discretely check on them too. Just let me know!]



[Open Spam, CES]

[It's pitch dark, except for the small area illuminated by the light spilling in through the open door; Marsh doesn't need light. The CES gave him the rebellion's cave systems today, and although there are torches stashed here in there in the tunnels, Marsh doesn't need them. The rock is solid, cool but not cold, and he's tucked just around a bend, holding still. Letting himself be still. He isn't sure himself if it's comforting or just stalling, but at least it is familiar.]

That's what they tell me.

[It's medium-dismissive. He's more inclined to listen to Marsh than someone else.]

[But he does acknowledge, after a moment--]


I've done a lot, while I've been here. More than I expected to.

If it doesn't beat you down . . .

[He smiles crookedly.]

It pulls you up. Or both.

[Often both. Best case scenario is probably both. But sometimes he can be an optimist. And he knows, too, that he's been lucky in how little the Barge has had to break him to rebuild him stronger.]

[He nods and looks down. At his shoes. Because he does feel very small right now, very young, very naive, for all that he understands what Marsh is saying. Fragile, he thinks, is the word.]

[Eventually:]


Can I help?

[Which is naive. But he found a way to help Ben in the end, or rather Ben provided him with one. So maybe.]

Oh.

[This is not what he was expecting. He blinks and then, hesitantly, smiles.]

Yeah, I can. I can do that.
