[Elsa doesn't really know enough about how to use her comm to know much about what's going on right now. Actually, she hasn't checked the network much at all in the days since she arrived here, and so she doesn't think to look at it now before making this post.

She's in her room, still in the same dress she was in when she arrived, and she hasn't exactly ventured out or really tried to get to know anyone, but at least she's not completely panicking and falling apart right now, so that's progress.]

I wanted to say thank you, to everyone who tried to help me. [When she arrived. B(]

I appreciate what you were trying to do.

[She arches an eyebrow, just slightly; she lets her doubts show, but she doesn't voice them.]

How's your room?

[bothfoulandfair]

It's fine.

[Actually, that's kind of a lie, and she's pausing for a moment to put a filter on like Dillon showed her.]

[Private]

It doesn't have a bathroom.

[fireincarnate]

[A slight, fleeting grimace.] Yeah - none of the Inmate cabins do. Sorry about that.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

I see.

[She is not thrilled about this. B(((]

Private

[fireincarnate]

[She's quiet, for a moment, and then - ]

It helps. Being around other people, and nothing going wrong.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

Something will go wrong.

Your powers are dampened, here. I don't think you could seriously hurt someone if you tried.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

Are they always like that?

Private

[fireincarnate]

Yes. Only a Warden can change it. [And part of her hates that, still; hates that a piece of you can be stolen, just like that, and you can't get it back on your own.

But she knows there's value in it. Charles did the same to her, really, she was just able to give permission.]

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

And if you don't want them to?

Re: Private

[fireincarnate]

A good Warden only does things you're comfortable with.

But... [Her brow furrows, a little. It's a hard thing to hear, she knows.] You can't be here forever. If you want to go home - your powers will go back to normal, there.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

That's assuming there's any place for me when I go back.

Private

[fireincarnate]

[Gently insistent.] If there isn't, you can make one.

Or you can go somewhere else.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

I don't want to go anywhere.

Private

[fireincarnate]

You don't have to until you're ready. Or - you could stay here, become a Warden.

It's all up to you.

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

I see.

Private

[fireincarnate]

Have you been to the dining hall yet?

Private

[bothfoulandfair]

No. [She hasn't been hungry. She knows she should, but it's just easier to stay locked up, honestly.]

Private

[fireincarnate]

You should eat. [It's a bit hypocritical, maybe, but most people get sick when they don't.] I can bring you something.
