[ Somewhat less ruffled than the first time he transmitted a video, but only just, Gaius Baltar sits in view of the camera, nursing a cigarette, and looking faintly disturbed. He is also dressed like a pirate, from the elegant open-throated shirt through to gold-buttoned waistcoat. The bandanna has been left to hang around his neck, and there are a couple of rings on his fingers that are somewhat chunky and antiquated.

They glint a little as he takes another drag from his cigarette. It's a self-medicating technique so he doesn't freak out at people over phones again. He's just spent a few days believing he was a pirate, never you mind. When he poses his question, it's quite measured; ]

Does this happen very often?

OOC: I may still pirate!Baltar backtag a bit, but. \ oAo/

There are wardens who do science experiments. Talk to Narvin, T'Pol or Tosh.

Or have your warden do it.

I might well do that, but of course I do have one small question.

Do we get paid?

Perhaps not in cubits, but privileges, perhaps. Freedoms. Access of information, or traded items. Anything like that at all?

Depends on your warden. Some would view lab access as getting paid.

Some would, would they?

[ Scoffing, a bit, but thinks about it. A computer would be nice to work at for a while, losing himself in mindless lines of code. ]

I guess that isn't entirely untrue. Maybe I'll ask her if there're any vacancies.

Which type are you, then?

If you're bored enough you would.

I'm a warden who was an inmate.

One of those. How does that work? Do you simply choose not to leave?

Chose to stick around in order to help someone else and get a deal of my own.

I'd ask you about your belief in the system and what measure of deal you've made, but I imagine those sorts've questions must get awfully dull if you're not amongst the uninitiated.

Are you any good at [ small hesitation ] billiards?

[ Transparent. He could also stand to ask people's names first. ]

Heh. I think I may just like you.

I'm very good at billiards. And poker, and other things.

Parker, by the way.

[ Oh, that's nice to know. There's the cut of a crooked smile for her, where it borders between some space between genuine and affected. Gods forbid anyone think he actually appreciated something. ]

Gaius.

Well, perhaps whenever we both feel in danger of being bored between the mortality rate and the mindcontrol, you should teach me how to play billiards. Or sooner, should that never happen.

We should do it. I'll bring the scotch.

Well, praise Dionysus, I've found myself a saint.

Pay no attention to the horns under my halo.
