[Bela is standing in front of the camera, dressed in pants and shirt and a brown leather jacket-rather common clothing considering the eclectic pile of clothes behind her. If anyone cares for those kind of details they'll see a wide arrangement of clothing, from suits to cocktail dresses to waitress uniforms and even a maid costume.]
So. The closet? It's a very nice touch, I have to admit. I certainly wouldn't mind having one back home. Though seemingly free food, board, and clothing just means there's a hidden cost. So what is our benevolent caretaker charging us?
And what becomes valuable in a place like this? Is there a currency in particular items? Favors? Souls? [And there's a wry smile there to indicate that might possibly be a joke.]
Or does everyone here work on altruism?
Action A: Wandering Wonderland
[Not one to idly sit when her surroundings are so undiscovered, and therefore a little bit threatening, Bela takes to exploring the grounds with a casual step that belies just how uncomfortable she really feels. She can be found idly touching decor along the walls of the mansion, or grabbing something to eat in the dining room, or eyeing the titles of books in the library even if she doesn’t actually reach for any right now.
[ooc: This is your find her wandering anywhere you want to option.]
Action B: An unlocked room is an invitation.
[After exploring the more open grounds, Bela can be found roaming the hallways. It’s a seemingly innocent gesture by itself, except for the subtle jiggle of a handle here and there as she moves about. Just her way of...well, casing the place. Not that she’s planning on stealing anything quite yet, but she’ll feel more comfortable once she’s got a good map of the surroundings and people around her since it doesn’t seem like she’ll be leaving very soon.
Occasionally, when she finds an unlocked door, she casually opens it just to get a good idea of the room-and on the occasion that someone is actually in their room without bothering to lock the door, well, she smiles sheepishly and offers an embarrassed apology.]
Oh, I’m sorry. I have the wrong room. [Ignore the subtle sweep around the room before she tries to retreat.]
Action C: A locked one is just a challenge.
[She’s good. For a while. But after finding so many empty and unlocked rooms, she’s a little curious to see what’s inside a locked one. And just as curious to see how easy it is to pick a lock on these particular doors.
So she chooses a random one in a rather quiet hallway, listens near the door for any tell-tale sign of shuffling, and when she thinks she’s in the clear, she kneels down and jimmies the lock, before pushing the door open. If there’s no immediate reaction, she’ll take a step inside. Just a quick scouting mission, don’t worry, she’s not here to steal anything.]

Well, perhaps you're not as good as you thought. After all, you did wind up in prison in the first place, hm?
video
[only you, Rocket.]
And I'd enlighten you with the details if I had any. All's I know is there ain't no doors out, no outbound ships, and no wardens to smack around.
video
[No, that's not how any of this works.]
How long have you been here?

You've something worth returning to? Or merely the principle of the place that has you looking?

[Sorry if she sounds a little incredulous.]

What about items worth...procuring? They exist around here?

[and that gets a snort out of him.] Look, lady, the downside to this place is stealin' ain't the rush it'd be normally, 'cause almost anything can be got from the closets, and if you can't get it there, you gotta go through the vendors- and good freakin' luck stealin' from those guys.
video
[And of course. What are itchy fingers supposed to do then, hm?] So, nothing worthy of any interest here, then.
video
[he gives her another shrug, like whelp. sorry to tell you but...] Hard out there for a thief. Even if you could get anything- good luck tryin' to fence it.
video
[Getting specifics out of anyone here has been as frustrating as pulling hairs off a cat.]
It's simply a hobby, I'll manage.

Mm. So there are heroes here to protect everybody? [So he can deliver some good information. Actually, he's been rather helpful. Hope he doesn't expect a thanks though.]
video
Everybody who ain't lookin' to go around offin' people for no reason, which is pointless, 'cause nobody stays dead. Not that it'd stop me from killin' somebody in a fight, but I can't freakin' imagine it makes killin' for pleasure fun.

[She's died once. It wasn't pleasant.]
Do you get into fights often? [She's betting on 'yes'.]
