Encyclopedia of Terms/Euphemisms/Stuff
Feb. 9th, 2030 11:15 amThis is a work in progress of some of the terms Jane uses/knows to describe her world. They're here for reference and I will be adding more as I comb through the book. Some of them don't have descriptions yet, as I haven't really compiled anything coherent about it. When I do, they'll be added.

The Rules We Know.
Taken straight from here. Given that there are Rules smattered all throughout the book. I thought I'd make a list of all the ones we know exist. In numerical order, of course, as far as possible (the ones with numbers are usually at the beginning of chapters, and others are within-text mentions)

Jane's CR Chart
Feb. 18th, 2013 04:14 pmJANE BRUNSWICK。 |
TEPPIC. Teppic and Jane started out as something fun. They were supposed to just enjoy this rules free vacation that they had been given. They were from very different worlds, especially socially, but they wanted to have some fun while they were stuck there. Then feelings happened. Teppic lied to her, Jane forgave him (sorta), but she’s been making him earn all that trust back little by little ever since. She does love him but they fight constantly. |
OWEN/PUCK. Owen is her roommate and it took her a long time to get to trust him. She considered him a really good friend and even told him about the colours. But then he came out about the Puck thing and she almost walked out on him. In fact, she did for a while. Refused to share an apartment with him and didn’t want to have anything to do with him. But he’s earned her trust back as both Owen and Puck and she feels comfortable enough to go back and call him a friend again. |
SUE SMITH. Though Jane would never ever admit it, Sue has become a bit of a surrogate mother to her. She will listen to her when she won’t listen to anyone else, though that’s usually because Sue doesn’t put up with her shit. Jane has found that she can’t lie or keep anything from Sue for very long and that’s just fine with her. She’s teaching her Judo as a way to manage her aggression and it’s been working out quite well so far. |
UNA PERSSON. Una is the woman Jane wishes she could be. She’s the woman Jane idolizes and who Jane goes to for help and advice about real things. Jane’s not afraid to be told the truth, but she is afraid to show weakness in front of her. She wants Una to see her as strong. |
JOHN WATSON. John is the only doctor Jane will let near her. Not so much at the moment, but she’s getting better about it. One day, she might even come to him for help if she gets hurt, but, for now, she just regards him with a quiet respect. |
Candles and red suits and bells and all sorts of other strange things relate to your holidays. I think I might...actually be getting used to this. Not that it's a terrible thing, mind you, but it's interesting. Other than...[A pause as she thinks of the word] Halloween, I haven't yet seen the Admiral put so much effort into a season.
It's nice that some of you get a taste of home. Even if that is...well, nevermind.
[Private to Alex]
Let's go on that tour I promised. Meet me on deck in an hour. And dress warmly.

Dec. 4th, 2011 03:22 pmYou Previous and your...holidays. Is there anything that you don't celebrate? Are there months that pass when you don't have to force your beliefs on the rest of us? [There's an annoyed little sigh.] And before you start, I know that it's the Admiral and that most of you don't want this to happen. But this does get old. [There's the sound of ringing bells and an "oomph."]
And bells in the hallway. Bells.
Why?
[Private to Caesares]
I know that you had nothing to do with it.
[Private to George]
Would you mind going on a walk with me?

[Jane's in the middle of a spectacularly beautiful fit. Her communicator got switched on in the middle of it by accident and there's only the sound of things being thrown and...basically Jane tearing her room apart. When she notices that the communicator's on, though, she brings it up. Her cheeks are flushed as red as her hair.]
What the fuck do you think that you're playing at? The whole damn barge turns brown and you have the tauping nerve to do this?! Which one of you did it? Your damn medicines and cures did this! [The communicator gets thrown again and Jane comes back a few minutes later, looking a bit more composed. At least outwardly.]
Ignore that. [No...she knows she's not that lucky.] How long was I asleep? Or...whatever that was? What's happened?
And more importantly...who moved me?

Nov. 6th, 2011 07:31 am[Jane's in her Colour Garden. It's a small area in a glass enclosure, with two rows of brightly coloured flowers. So brightly coloured that it would give most people a headache to look at. For this reason, she keeps the camera away from the flowers, though, as she's tending to them, there is an occasional glimpse of one or two.]
They didn't take any damage from...anything that happened, thankfully. Nothing in here seemed to be touched. And not just before the Admiral restored everything. Unless I missed something. [She shrugs and there's a flash of bright pink as she brushes a bit of dirt from the petals of a flower.]
I am grateful that it's all back to normal. Or...relative normal, since that's not exactly a term that we can use lightly around here.
Please don't tell me all holidays are that dangerous.
[Private to Una]
Did I ever give you my list?

Oct. 19th, 2011 08:18 pmI've noticed the Admiral likes to celebrate holidays. But what does that actually mean for you? We might as well talk about something other than the fact that this place is turning brown and there are ghosts or pookas or whatever you want to call them. At least the colour garden hasn't wilted.
I've not learned much about this holiday, this Halloween, other than sweets and frights are involved. Not exactly the most informational, you realise.
But I don't really care much about this holiday now. If it involves all of this then I'm not sure I want to know the rest. Just tell me that not all of your Previous holidays are like this.
Also, does anyone know Morse code?

[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. They’re called pookas. I think they sound like ghosts.
But they’re not exactly real. Ghosts aren’t exactly real, either. They- [She drops a few tiles and looks up sharply, trying not to seem frightened at something that might not have been there. A nervous sigh breaks down into uncontrollable giggles. She’s able to regain her composure shortly, but her hands are still trembling.]
Hm. Maybe… [Another giggle and she looks down to something in her hands.] Maybe not. Maybe this is a pooka.
Oh. Mister Sexby’s gone. In case anyone wondered. Or really even cared. [She spells out the word "SEXBY."] I cared. And for more reasons than he was my third inmate.
[Private to George]
I need you to do something for me.
[OOC: Jane is completely Limed/high at the moment. Her responses might not be entirely coherent. There will be more giggling…. Lots of giggling.... ]

Sep. 28th, 2011 07:24 pmFeel better, do you? I'm sure that you are just so proud of yourselves for all of that. Or maybe you're not.
I'm hoping you're not. Assholes. You don't even know how to keep your mouth shut about youknow or thinging and now you're going to regret it. Save it. Everyone knows now, so denying it is only going to make it worse.
I've let Sexby out of Zero, as his seven days were up, but know that I'm not tolerating this kind of behaviour from him at all. However, I'm not going to tolerate any retaliatory acts, either.
[Public, minus Sexby]
And I want to say this now so everyone can be very clear about it. That man who was here before, that Sexby? That's not my inmate. And your talks about how he "once was" or whatever nonsense that you spout off is very detrimental to his progress. And the next person who even hints at it in a public view, where he can see it or hear it, is going to deal with me.
What you're doing is cruel.
So fuck off.
[Private to Eddie]
I'm not angry with you.
[Private to Sexby]
Don't say a word about what you read about me, Mister Sexby. I know that you saw it. The whole damn barge saw it.

Sep. 20th, 2011 09:25 pm[Jane sounds winded, but you can still hear the anger shaking her words.]
My fucking inmate....he... [WHOOPS. She manages to switch the filter.]
[Warden Filter]
I need help. Edward Sexby was the one who killed Cissie and I...can't handle him on my own right now. I do not want him killed if it's possible. Just...restrained or at least talked down. This isn't some sort of...hunting mission or revenge session. I need help, not people to play the fucking individualist hero.
[OOC: Just trying to keep the plot a'moving guys so that we can keep things nice and tidy and in order. Don't feel rushed! I'm going to bed shortly, but I'll respond to posts until then. If your character asks for details, they might have to wait a smidge bit until I get details! Also...notifs are crap. :c]

This isn't some sort of...hunting mission or revenge session. I need help, not people to play the fucking individualist hero.
[OOC: Just trying to keep the plot a'moving guys so that we can keep things nice and tidy and in order. Don't feel rushed! I'm going to bed shortly, but I'll respond to posts until then. If your character asks for details, they might have to wait a smidge bit until I get details! Also...notifs are crap. :c]
I suppose it's quiet for the moment. A question, then. About alcohol.
Why do you drink it? Who do you drink it with? And when did it start becoming a social...obligation?
[Kitchen Filter]
My inmate, Edward Sexby, wants to work the lunch shift. I’ve given him my permission, but that really means nothing unless you can find some work for him to do at that time. Given his history in the short time he’s been here, I will be supervising him during his shifts, but you’ll find that I’m a capable cook, as well. So I can just be an extra pair of hands while I’m there .
[Private to Sexby]
I’ve spoken to the kitchen about your placement there. I’ve also told them that I will be keeping an eye on you while you’re there. I’m sure you can understand why.
I’ll let you know what they say.
[Private to Eddie R.]
I forgot to tell you. I think…that what you and your inmate came up with was a very good idea.
[Private to George]
Are you alright? I don’t do this very well.

Sep. 5th, 2011 10:12 amI'm not even sure I can find the right words to say to you right now. You realise what you did was awful don't you? Absolutely unacceptable. And completely inappropriate! And I have so many other things I want to say to you, but I'm not going to do them here.
Pick a place. And do it in a hurry.

Look. [And she holds up a book of black and white photography. Mapplethorpe, to those who might notice. Jane actually sounds...happy.] So, the later Previous were useful after all. At least, some of them were. This is exquisite.
Does anyone know how to do this?
[Private to Sexby]
Be up on deck within the hour, sir. We have things to discuss.
[Private to George]
Your inmate is an idiot.
How have you been?
[Private to Angelica]
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? About Mister Sexby?

Aug. 27th, 2011 07:07 amApparently no one is infallible. [A long pause as she decides she's not touching current events today.]
I need to talk to an artist. Or at least...someone who understands colours and how to use them for aesthetic purposes.
[Private to Eddie R.]
After what we talked about, I got curious. You've got enough to worry about at the moment anyway. Are you still angry with me?
[Private to Sexby]
Four days in and you've already tried to do the murder on someone and managed to find yourself in zero. While impressive, it's not exactly positive, so it's been said that you need a warden until the Admiral assigns you one. I've volunteered to fill that role for the time being. My name is Jane Brunswick. If you need anything, you can come to me for it.
[Private to Eddie S.]
Do you want an apology?
[And Added Later]
[Private to Narvin]
He doesn't know.
[Private to the Admiral]
I need a stack of firewood for Sexby's cabin. Enough to last a night or two.

Aug. 19th, 2011 07:25 am[Jane is alternating between giggly and super serious because she is very, very Limed (high). This is a common thing for her.]
Listen to you. All of you. Inmates and wardens alike. You're so stupid, sitting and waiting for something to happen. To graduate, to escape, to change, to do whatever the fuck you think you need to.
Do you know what you need to do? You need to fight. And not against each other. No. That's just stupid. We all want the same thing, don't we? We want our fucking freedom. You want it for you, inmates? Then fucking act out. Do something you're not supposed to for a change. Do you know why you have so many Rules? Because your wardens are enforcing them on you. And you hate those wardens, don't you?
So just once. Go ahead. [A giggle.] Act out.
[OOC: Just a little note because I have had like...zero plotting time/energy this past week. Jane is a super revolutionary lady and these speeches are something she comes up with a lot. Usually while she's Limed/high. And she breaks ALL the Rules. She sleeps around, does Lime, shouts, deliberately does her hair wrong to piss off Eddie, and...well, all that good stuff. So I'm pretty open for anything that can be assumed!]

[Little hands grab at the camera and there's a flash of bright red hair before she starts shrieking.]
This is absolutely ridiculous! I can't even reach my own doorknob! I hate this! I hate the Admiral! [And the shrieking turns to crying and she drops the camera, stomping her feet loudly.]
I just want to go home!

I'm not sure if I should make an announcement about this, but I might as well. My inmate, Chloe, is gone. She left before the port. I don't know why and I don't know where.
But I hate feeling like I'm not doing anything, so if anyone needs help with anything, I'm more than willing to give my time.
Two in a matter of months.
[Infirmary filter, minus Martha]
I think I need stitches. I wo- can't go to the infirmary, though.
[Private to Eddie R.]
You made it back, didn't you? I have to do something and then I'll come and see you. I have your swatches to return.

Jul. 12th, 2011 02:09 pm[Jane's on deck, looking somewhat annoyed. Which is pretty typical for her.] So, are we quite finished with all the selfish, Worship of the Me displays for the moment? It's so hard to focus when you are all panicked over some Previous dramatics.
She couldn't have even managed to be around her own flowers. She had to ruin ours.
[Not really the best introduction but...hey, there's more!]
Have any of you ever read this Rulebook? [She holds up George's Bible.]
If you do, you don't follow it very well, do you? Granted...I'm not too far into it because it doesn't seem like any language I've ever seen. Well, and most of it doesn't read like a Rulebook, but I did find some.
[She puts it back into her lap.] But I know it's not the only Rulebook out there. So what are the others?
And why don't you follow them?
[Pause.] This isn't a lecture, anyway. I don't care what Rules you do or don't follow. But I've broken plenty in my life. I've just never seen them broken collectively and with such...obvious disregard.
It's almost admirable.
Oh, and where does it talk about the invisible birds? Or butterflies. [Pause as she tries to find the word.] Souls.
