[Daneca has spent the first few hours going through the posts to the network. She...]

[...doesn't know how to feel about any of this so far. People going missing and others turning up dead. Zombies, vampires. And Cassel. Realistically speaking, Daneca knows she should probably be more anxious over a potential serial killer running around than the prospect of speaking to Cassel again, but that's what gives her more pause than anything. (At least she's not totally surprised by the idea of a serial killer on the Barge, she figures. Still in the realm of sanity for now.) She thinks maybe she should send him a private message or try to find him and speak one-on-one, in private. But that seems like too much even for her right now.]

[So, she settles for just introducing herself to everyone else. If he wants to talk to her, he can. If not...]

[Well, he doesn't have to. It's not like Cassel owes her anything anyway.]

[With that resolved, she can go back to being properly more anxious about people turning up dead, zombies, and vampires. And apparently also werewolves being real as well.]

[Daneca appears a little stiff and tense. Being on camera and broadcasting like this makes her a little nervous in ways that are harder to cover up than other things that make her nervous or uncomfortable. But it doesn't paralyze her or make her smile seem like a disingenous cover for nerves that ends up looking more scary than pleasant. Daneca is not someone who can lie very well. It's nervous and small, but her smile is no less sincere. She's trying desperately to channel her mother right now.]

I know I'm coming in at a really bad time, but I thought I should probably introduce myself anyway. My name is Daneca and I'm new. [She flushes a little and says a little softer:] Obviously.

[She shifts a little uncomfortably and finds the strength in her voice again.]

I'm a warden for anyone that might matter to.

[She's sure it does especially to some of the inmates. She'll lie about other parts about herself anyway. Might as well be honest about some things that might make people uncomfortable.]

Anyway, I guess I'm just looking for a tour. Or advice. Whatever anybody can spare.

Fresh meat. Great. Listen to your friend Cassel. If you can't catch sense, go sit with him. Pretty sure he's not our killer. You'll at least be safe.

[ Two-Face is the most friendly!!! ]

Cassel wouldn't do something like that, but I don't need his protection either.

He has other people to worry about anyway.

[Which is the weirdest thing she's ever said. Cassel. Other people. Worrying about them.]

[What?]

Yeah, guess he doesn't have to with his magic jazz hands.

[ Two-Face is the most sarcastic. ]

Oh, so you don't rate? Good to know.

[She frowns a little.]

You know he's a worker?

Know he's a worker? Girl, I know what Blowback feels like.

[ Harvey, coincidentally, wears gloves. This could lead to the Wrong Idea. ]

[She widens her eyes. Normally she wouldn't ask ~~and probably would say something about that "Girl"~~ because, hello, rude, but he's outing himself so...]

You're a worker?

What? No! [ He's confused as to how that came to be-- beyond he doesn't know anything about Cassel's culture, just the powers. ] I'm not from your world -- Thank God for small favors.

Oh.

[She frowns again though because that doesn't compute. The gloves could just be a weird fashion accessory, but:]

Then how do you know what blowback feels like?

That's a long story. A Barge story. You'll figure out how weird it gets fast.

I already got that from looking back through everyone's messages.

Good luck, then. You're gonna need it around her.

Thanks.

[She guesses.]

What's your name?

Two-Face. [ He grumbles, and adds ] Harvey Dent.

[ She'll need both eventually. ]

Oh. Um, do you have a preference?

[She would assume Harvey or Dent over Two-Face, but she doesn't want to assume anything. This guy's a little off.]

Right now? You're talking to Two-Face. You'll know when you're talking to Harvey. He's so much more genteel.

[Multiple personalities?]

[Not exactly what Daneca expected to find here, but she supposes she probably shouldn't be too surprised. She takes it in as best of stride as she can with a nod.]

Okay. Easy enough. But uh... Will you know when I've spoken to him and vice versa?

[ Harvey's face-- Two-Face -- just moves in a smirk. ]

Yeah, sure. He'll remember.

[ No he won't, but he'll have the communicator to check for past conversations. ]

And if I talk to him, you'll remember that?

Mmhmm. That's how it works.

[ With some creative editing, anyway. ]

That's good. I guess it saves me having to reintroduce myself to Harvey later then.

Assuming he shows up any time soon, I mean.

He will. He's just been-- over worked. [ That's a good lie, Two-Face figures. ] Lots of things going on the barge. He needs to focus. I'm out for now.

He'll be back. Later. Tomorrow. He's usually the face you see.

Over worked?

[What does it mean?]

We've been very busy. He needs to focus on the details away from people. So I handle the people right now.

Do you two...talk to each other?

[ Two-Face tilts his head, watching her carefully now. ]

We can't not, most of the time.
