[Oh, dear. Remember all that talk about him being cheerful? Biff just found out Judas was here.

He sounds extremely upset, and is turning to the only person who knows who he is: Bruce Wayne. The fact that there aren't any privacy filters would be a good indication of his state of mind.]

Bruce! Bruce, he was here!

Judas? He was an idiot, and he certainly didn't deserve rehabilitation, and yet the wardens loved to coddle him and wipe away his tears. [Snort.] You know, he even found 'love' here, but... considering who we're talking about, it didn't end well.

[blesseddumbfuck]

I know how he acted. You do not need to tell me.

[stopthat_destro]

Oh, so you knew about him playing the 'whore'? Or trying to, at any rate. News must travel far. [Errrgh so sorry for the tasteless tag; it's Rex playing crazy games with Iago.]

[blesseddumbfuck]

What do you mean, played the whore? Do not talk about Maggie that way! She was no whore!

[Misinterpretation for the win!]

[stopthat_destro]

Who? No, I meant, uh... pretended to be one?

[BEAUTIFUL MISINTERPRETATION.]

[blesseddumbfuck]

No, she pretended to be besought by demons so -

...I am confused.

[stopthat_destro]

No, Judas was pretending to--

...It sort of lost its intended impact. Regardless, he was an idiot, and the wardens loved him for it. Some of the inmates, too, but I suspect that's more due to the aforementioned... attempts at... [No Rex, saying it would just be awkward now.] Things.

[blesseddumbfuck]

I did not know he liked to lie with men. He was always cruel to Maggie, but I did not think such things went hand-in-hand.

[stopthat_destro]

Such things generally don't. In Judas's case, I suspect it's because he envied them. He certainly liked to act like a caricature of a woman... which makes me wonder how that would appeal to men who preferred the company of other men. [Iago.] In any case, he was a parasite, feeding off of others' attentions and pity. The Barge is better off without him.

[blesseddumbfuck]

How was he rehabilitated?

[stopthat_destro]

I have no idea. Months of warden favoritism paying off?

[blesseddumbfuck]

I do not think that is how it works.

But it is Judas, so I do not know what to think.

[stopthat_destro]

It isn't how it works for most of us. Judas was always treated as the special exception by the wardens.

[blesseddumbfuck]

Why?

[stopthat_destro]

I don't know. I'd say you should ask them, but they'll just deny it.

[blesseddumbfuck]

He is the wrong man to receive such favor.
