Listen up everyone. I'm Cordelia Chase, and I'm a new warden around here. You don't know of me yet, but don't worry, you will with time. I'm not the sort of person you forget.

So what's exactly the deal with this place? Things I need to know? Are there places to shop? Cute guys too oogle? I need the dish. This place is certainly way different than Los Angeles was, that's for sure.

Also, to my inmate, I hope you don't think I'm someone you can push around, buddy. Because I'm not. I'm sure whoever you are, I've dealt with bigger and badder stuff in the past, so save it for someone who cares. You can either let me help me, or I can make you let me.

It's your choice.

You sound very confident.

I'm afraid that I'm not quite myself at the moment... but my name is Gellert Grindelwald and welcome to the Barge. As you are a warden I presume you already know the basics.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

That's because I am.

Not yourself? Did someone bodyswap you or something?

I do, the Admiral filled me in.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Yes. We've had what is known as a 'flood'. It seems many people have changed into others. It will likely wear off in a day or two.

You have remained yourself?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I have. Maybe it didn't effect me because I just arrived.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But it's bound to happen someday. These floods seem to be happening more and more often.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

No one wakes up pregnant with demonic babies during these floods, do they? I've been through that enough.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

The Admiral once jokingly - we hope - threatened to impregnate me with spiders... So it could happen.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Well. I can only hope that was joke. I am not going through that again.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You really had something like that happen to you?

I'd just be careful not to provoke the Admiral too much. I'm sure he'd do it if he was annoyed enough.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

More than once.

I'll make a note of that.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're used to these kind of strange events then. You'll probably do very well here as a warden. Unlike some.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing some people come from places where weird things don't happen all the time?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Yes. Some of the people here still don't believe that I'm a wizard.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I knew a girl back in Sunnydale who was a witch. It's not hard to believe wizards exist to.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a cheerful place.

Ah, so you know a witch? What about yourself? Do you have any powers?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

Sunnydale was on a Hellmouth, it was hardly as cheery as it sounds.

I get visions of the future, mostly.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

So you are a seer. Can you see anything of your future here?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I never see my own future. It's usually of those who are in danger, so we can help them.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You'll get visions all the time then... Somebody is always trying to kill somebody here.

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

I think it depends. TPTB always seemed to pick and choose who were supposed to help.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

TPTB?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

The Powers That Be.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You believe that a higher power is controlling things?

[knowmypurpose.livejournal.com]

They're a group of beings, actually.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What kind of beings?
