[She has debated making this video not public for the entire Barge. Mostly, she'd debated whether or not to filter out the damn vampire. But as far as she knows, she's safe to just make it public without risking leaving someone else out, too since he's still at the infirmary. Besides, he'd be really damn stupid to try something when most, if not all of the Barge is up there.

Lydia's face is brighter than it's been when she shows up on video. Mostly because of what she's planning on doing after her public announcement but also because she owes it to Needy to make this amazing. She deserves to have a great party and Lydia will so everything in her power to deliver her just that. She is known for throwing the best parties in Beacon Hills after all.]

Hello Barge!

I know we've had a couple of rocky weeks with a flood and lots of drama, but that's not what this is about.

I'm sure most of you have met Needy by now. She has a birthday coming up and we're celebrating it! This will be a full on party, there will be drinks, food and music. We're still deciding on a location*, but I will let everyone know as soon as we pick one.

The party is happening on the 19th, that is this coming Friday and we are getting started around eight.

I expect to see everyone there. Don't make me send people to come drag you from your cabin because I will! [And that might be especially for you, Peter. And maybe a few others who might need nudging.]

[*OOC: The party will be on the CES, I won't make another post to announce this, but assume your characters got a notification about it later in the week!]

[Private Video - Blight]
That includes you, Mr. Powers. Even if I have to talk to your warden myself.

[Private Video - Stiles]
[She switches the feed off and takes a deep breath. She's not nervous so much except-- she kind of is? It's a lot of pressure considering what she's about to do, who this is and the fact that she basically never had to do this before. Guys usually just come begging her for dates and eventually, she says yes if she feels like it. She's never had to ask someone else out. Not that she's asking so much... she really doesn't think she needs to.]

You heard that, right?

[Spam - Jerry and later Bucky]
[She has a lot to do. She wants the party to be absolutely perfect and she still needs to find a location for it. So far, she's considering the deck because of view, but she knows not everyone appreciates a reminder that they are out in space, so she is also considering the CES.

Right now, it will all depend on what she can find in the CES the day of the party and if it's doable or not, but she fact that it's locked and inmates like Jerry would need a Warden to let them in and she knows no one would willingly. They are all wardens for a reason, right?

Right now, she has notes on her phone of what she needs to get and what she needs to do, and she's checking them over and adding materials to make lanterns. Either way, she will need them. She might check what she can find in the art room with Ben. She might have to just request something from the Admiral.]

[OOC: Later in the day, after she is attacked by Jerry.]

This is mostly for Scott, Isaac, Kira and Erica. I just want to give you guys the heads up that I had to draw a Mountain Ash line on my door so if you wanna come to my cabin, let me know first so I can break it. I don't want any of you to get hurt.

[Public Video]

[The image is shaky when Lydia starts the video. The camera showing nothing but her hair and chin for a moment. And then she shifts it with a huff as she straightens back up and is no longer trying to lift Andrew's unconscious form off the floor.

She definitely looks worried. And maybe a little pale from the effort she was just making.]

I need help on the 7th floor. [Deep breath.]

My inmate, Andrew Detmer. I just found him unconscious.

He's too heavy, I can't take him to the infirmary on my own.

[Video - Public]

[Lydia has been a little quieter than usual. Between losing Allison again, almost losing Stiles and having to figure out what to do to get Andrew to allow her to help him, she's been keeping busy.

But it's been too long since she's promised the Barge some entertainment and Lydia Martin keeps her promises.

She's in her room, smile on her face as she looks at the camera.]

Hey Barge.

I'm sure most of you remember a few weeks ago I said we were going to start organizing some events for the Barge. Scott is already organizing the Lacrosse practices and we'll have an actual game soon.

But for this Saturday, we're having a movie night! We're using the common room on Level 1, and I suggest everyone brings pillows and sleeping bags if they have them so we can be comfortable. There will be snacks and drinks, of course!

The movies this time, will be Devil Wears Prada and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I'm leaving a list in the Dining Hall so people can RSVP if they want to come and I'll leave details about time and place on there too in case someone missed this announcement.

See you on Saturday!

[Private Video - Peter]

[She's heard all about what happened to Peter and Gwen. Well, parts of it here and there, so she switches the feed to private a moment later.]

I know it's not Star Wars yet, but I'm thinking of doing the trilogy next if this goes well.

[ooc: Pre-dated post for 4th wall event! I'm still out of town but I return Friday morning. Tags should normalize then.]

[Open Spam - Art Room]
[Since the breach, Lydia has been alternating between staying in the infirmary with Allison until her best friend kicks her out, and vanishing from sight completely. Whenever she's not with Allison, she feels like she need to do two things: let all of her emotions out as much as possible -- which she does alone in her room where hopefully no one can hear her -- so she can be in control of them when she's around the others. And trying to somehow tap into her powers. Get a better control over them.

Nothing has helped her since she arrived at the barge and she's obviously still as much a failure at this as she was the first time she's lost Allison. And the memories of her mirror self are fading more and more each day and she knows she needs to use what she does remember of her control as much as possible while she can still remember.

So she's been in the art room as often as she can, without anyone there. She has her iPod with her because she knows sounds are one of the main triggers for the warnings. So she's been closing her eyes and letting her hand wander over the drawing board.

Not much has come to her. Mostly drawings of past deaths. Symbols of those deaths. A sword, a silver arrow, a hand with werewolf claws. Jennifer's symbol. Of course, the Nemeton.

She knows this is progress. But she knows it isn't good enough. It's not going to be good enough until she can save someone. Until she can so something more than cry over their bodies.

Today is no different. She's just settled down on the stool in front of the blank drawing board and with a deep breath, closed her eyes and let her hand take control.]

[She can't find them. Any of them. The sounds are getting louder, the whispers, the screams, the voices. They are talking to her. Someone is going to die and she doesn't even know where they are.

That's not all. The music is pulling her down, further down the stairs and everything she's feeling is getting stronger. She's felt this before. That day when the Nogitsune trapped her in Oak Creek with him, kept her there as it taunted her about Stiles dying and she felt it. She knew he was weaker, she knew he was still in danger. But most of all, she knew someone else was going to die, too. She knew the Nogitsune hadn't known this, but Lydia knew Allison was in danger all along. And she was trapped, hands tied even though she was trying to save her best friend.

Lydia is feeling something very similar now. Stiles is in danger, a lot of danger, but so is Allison. And there's that familiar chill and familiar dread that comes with every thought about her best friend.

It's disorienting, terrifying, and Lydia just wants to get away from it, get to them.

She stumbles her way through the stairs and reaches for her communicator. She can't find them, and she can't make the same mistake again.

Her hair was neatly pulled up into a bun when she left her cabin but now, there are loose strands all over her face, her eyes are wide and she looks as terrified as she feels.]

Something is happening. Stiles and Allison. Something is happening to them.

[Finally, she makes her way out on a floor. She has no idea where she is, but there's a roller coaster. And music. It's loud. Very loud. But as the cars pull to a stop in front of her, Lydia doesn't think twice before getting into one of them. Maybe it will take her there, to one of them.

And it does. Lydia sees their faces as they as the car gains speed and throws her all over the hallway, she's not even trying to hold on, she's just trying to see them.]

You thought it was over? I'm still here, Lydia. I'll always be here.

[It's the Nogitsune, he's the one taunting her and she shakes her head.]

You're not real. None of this is real. They're okay. They have to be okay.

[Video - Public]

[Lydia is actually not in her room for a change. She's currently sitting in one of the study rooms in the library and she looks a lot more relaxed than she did back in her previous video. She definitely feels more rested than she's had since she got to the barge. Mostly thanks to her occasional sleeping arrangements. But she also knows she needs to find more activities for herself. She doesn't have school here and she's craving social interaction. Which is the whole point of this video.]

So I've been thinking and I think both Wardens and Inmates alike could really benefit from more social activities here at the Barge.

I know the boys are starting the Lacrosse teams and I think that's a great start but we can go a lot further. We can have movie nights and theme parties and dinners. It'd be a good way to get to know more people.

Which is why I'm looking for volunteers for a social event planning committee. Is anyone interested? Or does anyone have ideas on activities we could do?

[Video - Private to Friends*]
I can count on you guys to help, right?

[This comes with one of those Lydia smiles. The ones that will either make people automatically smile back at her, or if they know her, know that saying no will just be a mistake. It might have both effects on certain people.]

[ Private Video - Arya]
I'm still working on it, but let me know if this looks anything like what you have in mind.

[She moves the camera over to the sketch board and shows Arya the snowy mountains she promised her.]

[ooc: *friends would be pretty much she's had friendly interactions with before. If you think your character would be on this filter, they are! If you wanna make sure anyway, let me know by pm or on plurk, but I'm pretty chill about it.]
