[The camera turns on to show what appears to be an actual cabin in the woods, quite small, but complete with a roaring fire blazing in the hearth. The man holding the camera is wearing full Mountie regalia, including a Stetson hat, and looks pleased as punch.]

My thanks for the accommodations, Admiral. It's rather more space than I need, but I'm sure I'll finds ways to fill it.

[There's a bark from offscreen, and the man raises an eyebrow and says, quite pointedly:] No. Not with Krispy Kremes. We don't even have a Krispy Kreme on board, as far as I know.

[He turns his attention back to the camera, clearing his throat.] I beg your pardon, everyone. My name is Constable Benton Fraser, RCMP. I first came to the Barge-- well, that's not important right now, but I'll be here as a warden for the time being. I'm very much looking forward to it. [Horrifyingly, this appears to be genuine.]

You're welcome.

[ The tin soldier effect is a little disturbing to witness. A little disheartening, even. ]

Do you drink, Constable?

[ That's... unsurprising. ]

Well, I won't advise you to start, but I hope you've got a decent coping mechanism or two under your belt.

The CES might interest you.

That's the one. I haven't had a chance to visit yet, but it should come in handy in case you contract cabin fever, and supposedly, it brings you closer to home. Your dog will appreciate the jogging opportunity, if nothing else.

Boyd Crowder. And I'm actually quite fond of the outdoors, coming from Eastern Kentucky. It's more that... well, I'm not sure how ready I am to confront an illusion of home.

Besides, I'd need an escort, or at least a permission slip to go in there.

Likewise, Constable Fraser.

[ He's sorry to give you a wrongful impression of the general inmate population. ]

And yes, I am. I guess the lack of fashionable jumpsuits makes us harder to identify.

It's certainly less offensive to the eyes, and maybe it does help bridge the inmate-warden gap somewhat. A sense of community and trust, though... that might be pushin' it a little.

[ The earnest optimism is pretty endearing, though. ]

I'm doing alright, Constable, but I haven't sprouted wings and a halo yet, so I figure I still have some distance to go.

No, not yet.

You seem to have a very positive view on people, Constable. Where does it come from, if you don't mind me asking? Law enforcement isn't a field where one tends to see the best mankind has to offer.

From: [personal profile] maybebatman
Well, I'm definitely inclined to agree with your father's assessment. And I can see how such a view would steer you away from assuming the worst intentions in people, but that's still no reason to expect the best.

As far as I know, people's chief reason for doing things is self-interest.

Well, I wish you luck in that endeavor, although in some cases, you may have to lead a revolution to make sure public and private interests coincide.

What kind of successes have you had?

And yet here you are, so I'm guessing no murdering took place.

You should. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

[ He's not gonna let his inner criminal speak up about how unwise it is to rat out your partners in crime. It's too nice a story to ruin with technicalities. ]

That's quite the story, Constable Fraser. It sounds to me like you'll do a good job here. With some inmates, at least.

maybebatman: (o hai there)
From: [personal profile] maybebatman
[ That sounds like a less uplifting tale. ]

I may take you up on that. Good luck, Constable.
