OOC: Okay, I'll fix this one as well. This RPGing stuff is harder than I thought. Still, I'm no stranger to looking like a moronic prat, so I'll just claw my way back out of this learning curve.
IC: Wash felt alot better after sleep in Linc's bunk, his breathing had improved and his limp was barely noticable. He didn't have a bunk of his own. It occured to him that he was not an official employee.
Linc appeared at the door of the dorm. He had to duck to get in, and a faint bruise was visible on his forehead from doors he had missed.
No one else was in this dorm currently, so he sat down on the bed next to Wash's.
"No one has noticed you yet, so your gonna have a sweet ride before you are put to work," said Linc. "I'm due back at work in five, so I can't stay."
Wash rubbed his eyes. "How long have you been here?"
Linc's eyes rolled up as he recalled his arrival. "A few days, perhaps a couple of weeks. I keep my head down, y'know? Well, as much as I can. 'Pull this lever, pull that lever', I don't get any trouble. They just moved me up here from exports, said my height intimidated the buyers. I used to work in one of the Vykker laboratories. It was in a submarine, and I simple scrubbed decks. Then the Vykkers put me on a routine of experimental growth hormones. I was unaware of it, we all were." Sadness flickered over his face. "I was lucky, my hormones were mild. The others... well, they didn't look much like mudokons afterwards. I later picked up an infection in my eye, and the drops they gave me weren't exactly helpful. They were supposed to be condensed into migraine supositories, not heal opthalmitus. Now look."
Wash looked. He didn't like to bring up Linc's red eye, but it was always staring at him. He sat up and swung his legs out of bed. "How do they treat us here?"
"Well, it could be worse. But then, you'd know all about that. I'm gonna be late, I'll see you later."
Wash wondered how long it would be until upper management did realise there was one too many workers.
OOC: how often do characters interact with someone elses characters here? Everyone is busy doing something else right now. Who's in upper management? There's an extra scrub down here!
