[diamondtherough]

I'm glad to see some things haven't changed, huh?

[Warden Filter]
I want access to the 'CES' for a bit, alright? Just a few hours. No more.

Can't one you warden types take me?

[Inmate Filter]
You lot seem to be fighting as much as ever. Where's the hierarchy, huh? Group can't succeed without one dem leaders or some sort of ranking system.

[doctor_j_crane]

It appears that our hierarchy is currently based on your ability to kill other inmates.

[Inmate filter]

[diamondtherough]

I'll tell you a secret, my friend.. It usually is.

Of course, rebellion comes if you can't back up your first kill in the bid for power, and then you're left on quite the opposite side. What about you, huh? You gone murder dem? Have experience?

[Inmate filter]

[doctor_j_crane]

Considering the nature of the barge means that anyone who I murdered would be back within a week, I see little point in doing so. Success is always fleeting, failure is always an option.

[Inmate filter]

[diamondtherough]

That's smart, my man. I agree with you.

[Inmate filter]

[doctor_j_crane]

It's too bad not everyone agrees with us.

private-

[diamondtherough]

Nah nah nah. You're looking at it all wrong. If everyone agreed with us, then we wouldn't stand out, huh? You look better by comparison because of people like that.

private-

[doctor_j_crane]

And how does that benefit me? It's not going to earn graduation.

private-

[diamondtherough]

But nothing is. Better to be known and respected in the meantime, huh? Earn yourself some friends and resources so that you can escape when the opportunity arises. Because it always does.

private-

[doctor_j_crane]

This is the barge. If an opportunity has arisen, I'm yet to have spotted it.

private-

[diamondtherough]

Maybe you're just not good at seeing opportunities, my friend. Or maybe I'm just lucky.

private-

[doctor_j_crane]

You're on the barge. Can you really consider yourself a lucky man?

private-

[diamondtherough]

Only when you consider some of the alternatives.

private-

[doctor_j_crane]

The only other real alternative to being here is being dead.

private-

[diamondtherough]

Then I'd consider this lucky. Wouldn't you?

private-

[doctor_j_crane]

That depends if there's a flood or port on.

private- If they already exchanged names, please tell me I'm dumb and I'll edit.

[diamondtherough]

[That gets a laugh.] What's your name, my friend?
