[AUDIO: Eddie sounds like he might be fatigued or hung over.]

Why the fuck is there a shark in the level five common room?

[ooc; Still on hiatus, but around most of today/tonight and then back June 1. Please note, there is a shark. Eddie is not lying.]

I had assumed it was because that's where his tank is.

Unless it's a she-shark.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 01:30:41 UTC

What the hell are you talking about?

19centconstable May 30 2011, 01:34:04 UTC

Well he couldn't very well be in any of the other common rooms, as they don't have tanks. I'm not sure how one would transport a shark between rooms anyway. It doesn't sound like a very good idea at all.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 01:39:02 UTC

Why would a "she-shark" be different?

19centconstable May 30 2011, 01:46:49 UTC

...Because then I would have had to use the word "her".

It is a bit strange to think of a shark as a her, though.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 01:50:43 UTC

I assume he came with the tank and there wasn't just an empty tank here for however long.. So why is the tank on level 5 then? Why did this 'Warren White' guy get a shark?

19centconstable May 30 2011, 02:02:41 UTC

I would have guessed that the tank came first, and empty, because it would be easiest to move that way, and that once it was in place the water was added, and then the shark.

I can't say I know a Mr. White, but perhaps he had a scientific interest?

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 02:17:35 UTC

I hear he was an inmate who just liked sharks and made a request.

I don't think the Admiral moves anything either. I think it just kind of appears.

19centconstable May 30 2011, 02:35:54 UTC

Companionship, then. Which is also understandable: I do miss my dog.

That's true, he does do.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 02:42:40 UTC

You couldn't get a girlfriend?

19centconstable May 30 2011, 02:45:59 UTC

That's actually how I got my dog in the first place.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 02:49:18 UTC

You lost her or you preferred the dog?

19centconstable May 30 2011, 03:08:04 UTC

We decided we wouldn't make a good match, romantically: I'm a constable; she breaks into buildings in the middle of the night. And she would have held our suspecting her of murder against me. Also, she hadn't got any wallpaper in her rooms, which is...terribly strange. But I've always liked dogs, and I was more than happy to take Violet in as Miss Garrison's landlady was threatening to evict the both of them.

I was a bit disappointed that she never took me up on my offer to visit her, as she had seemed keen to, but I suppose people might have talked, and she's likely been married by now.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 03:24:23 UTC

Don't you think that story's a little overdone? [A pause.] And what's wrong with no wallpaper?

But I guess that's women for you. I had kind of a similar thing myself awhile back, only without the dog. It was a short marriage.

19centconstable May 30 2011, 03:38:48 UTC

Which story?

Well everybody's got wallpaper.

...You suspected your wife of murder? That would be quite disconcerting.

acertifieduser May 30 2011, 03:43:05 UTC

The whole 'good guy cop falls in love with a criminal and it never works' thing. It's like Sherlock Holmes or Catwoman or one of a hundred other versions.

Not everybody has wallpaper, though. I think only one of my rooms has wallpaper, actually.

And-- no. I just mean it was short-lived and it wouldn't have worked out between us. She called it a 'coke marriage' once. That about covered it.
