[Warden Filter]
I'm not big on speeches, so I'm going to make this quick.

[Arthur's voice is a frustrated growl right now. He sounds about ready to punch something. Also, he's hanging out by the entrance to Level 0 and keeping his voice somewhat low so Perry can't overhear. This also means that because he's by the entrance, anybody else looking ( Read more... )

Should you need anything..

[A pause.]

Crane's staying with me for the time. I'm not entirely certain what to do with him.

[Private] paradoxlol April 7 2011, 22:51:45 UTC

Right now, I could use a vacation. Get far from this place and everyone in it. I can't even look at some of these wardens without feeling disgusted. You know one of these assholes compared what Loki's doing-- the whole 'actively going behind my back and trying undermine me, encouraging my inmate for making a snuff film' thing-- to a scraped knee?

[End mini-rant, but seriously, Arthur's so disillusioned with the Barge right now. He needs to go into dreamspace and shoot a bunch of projections or something.]

I don't know what to do with Perry, either. The two of them are clearly planning to meet when this is over.

[Private] imaginationlol April 7 2011, 23:18:42 UTC

Do you need me to join you, or to keep an eye on things while you're away?

A scraped knee? [An incredulous laugh.] We've worked with a load of wankers before, but I didn't quite expect it here. Any ideas for what to do? [A pause.] We can always take our methods into our own hands.. I expect they might have something to say about that, however.

I'm a bit tempted to kill them both for the experience, given that it's only temporary and no one else seems to care much for punishing it.

[Private] paradoxlol April 7 2011, 23:37:57 UTC

Thanks, but I think I'll be sticking around until the Admiral fulfills his deal. I can't vacation 'til the job's over.

[He laughs shortly.] Yeah, me neither. Somehow, I thought wardens were going to be upstanding people. Then again, you're one. [ARTHUR KIIIIIDS]

Somehow, I don't think that will teach Perry to respect the sanctity of life. [Scoff.] At this rate, I'm just trying to establish boundaries. Women, children, the disabled. He's 2 for 3 right now.

The same offer applies if you decide to get some sleep.

Well, I am a forger. What are the excuses for the rest of the lot? [Banterbanter.]

Dare I ask which two? [Pauuuuse.] Crane's quite afraid of death himself, but apparently has very little qualms in giving it out. It's the kind of behavior I'd expect from a murderer, not a corrupt doctor.

[Private] paradoxlol April 8 2011, 02:27:53 UTC

That I might have to take you up on.

[Hmmmmm hm hm.] Extreme incompetence?

I'm counting Rex in the 'disabled' category, and he hit me a couple times when I was a kid, so that's the two.

[Pausing as he thinks on what Eames said about Crane.] Do you think the Barge has made him worse?

[Private] imaginationlol April 8 2011, 02:53:01 UTC

Certainly. In another few days, when my inmate's been allowed to leave, I'll gladly keep an eye on things.

[That gets a laugh.] Not unlike normal then.

[A pause for acknowledgment of seriousness, then:] I'm a bit surprised you didn't hit him back. You weren't quite the child I was expecting.

[Hrm.] I'm not entirely certain. He seems more aware of his responsibilities and I believe he's been instilled with a sense of guilt or regret that wasn't present before, but only related to appeasing me, not to the deeds themselves.. and I think it's obvious that it isn't enough.

[Private] paradoxlol April 8 2011, 03:02:29 UTC

Until then, it looks like we're both locked up with our inmates. How's it working out for you?

Believe it or not, I knew a losing battle when I saw one. [Pause.] But I did shove him. That got me a second hit. Anyway, [amused:] you were about what I expected. You owe me a bottle of whiskey, Mr. Eames.

It's a start, at least. Better than he was when you first met him, right?

[Private] imaginationlol April 8 2011, 05:51:13 UTC

Doesn't seem to be making much difference. How's yours?

Even at that age? My, you are a stick in the mud. Still, I'll be happy to oblige you with a bottle when all this is settled.

That's difficult to say. I believe he's better, but when he does things like this?.. Well, he's not quite what I had realized.
