041 - The Sheriff Retires

Mar 16, 2009 23:25

I know I tried to detain or... kill some of you over the past week, so... I'm going to apologise.

Right here.

Sorry. It was completely inappropriate, not to mention unethical. I mean, really, what kind of lunatic interprets laws that way? I was like some sort of fascist version of--

Right, anyway, you've got no idea how relieved I am that I ( Read more... )

do not want!, port, angry sam grrr!, shut your lie hole sam

Prefect is NOT FEELING TACTFUL TODAY. buywithme March 17 2009, 04:53:49 UTC

Look on the bright side, Comrade! At least you were the one enforcing the horrible rules and not one of the numerous people being penalized by them!

>( bythe_books March 17 2009, 04:55:08 UTC

Is that really looking on the bright side, Prefect, or are you still upset that I chased you back onto the Barge?

buywithme March 17 2009, 05:00:57 UTC

What kind of monster makes a law against twins?

bythe_books March 17 2009, 05:02:35 UTC

Uh...

The Sheriff. That kind of monster.

So you agree the system is flawed and needs changing?

Private - He still doesn't like you :| bythe_books March 17 2009, 06:38:28 UTC

I never disagreed on that point.

He's sucking up to you because of Prefect. gray_atonement March 17 2009, 06:27:49 UTC

You weren't yourself. These things test wardens as much as they provoke inmates. I.. think you did a good job, despite the things you did. You did the best you could as who you were at the time, were the best you could be.

Maybe you're right, though. Maybe we are slowly losing ourselves.

SUCK HARDER-- er. bythe_books March 17 2009, 06:41:14 UTC

Yeah, I suppose I was the best complete bastard I could be.

I think... it's only a matter of time before one of these doesn't end. What would've happened if I hadn't stumbled back here? If any of us hadn't?

..... gray_atonement March 17 2009, 07:13:28 UTC

There was obviously a part of you in there not to have killed anyone. I think you affected yourself more than you realize, in a good way.

Has anyone ever been lost to a port? Maybe the Admiral is bluffing.. Maybe we should test that.

bythe_books March 17 2009, 14:44:54 UTC

Ah... uh, I don't know, actually. I've only been around for this one and the Leave it to Beaver port.

mimic_peter March 17 2009, 06:55:47 UTC

I'm still sorry about knocking you out.

bythe_books March 17 2009, 07:01:32 UTC

Well, I might've deserved it.

A bit.

mimic_peter March 17 2009, 07:03:21 UTC

Sam, really, there were people in the port who deserved it more then you.

bythe_books March 17 2009, 15:03:39 UTC

Yeah, like the king? He was a real pr--

Aren't you temperamental, monsieur?

bythe_books March 17 2009, 15:04:11 UTC

What, this stuff doesn't bother you?

young_idealist March 17 2009, 15:12:25 UTC

Yes, it does, but it also doesn't do much good to complain about something over which we have no control. I've lived through a bloody revolution. This is a small inconvenience compared to that.

Besides, you never laughed at my ridiculous threat with the pen.

bythe_books March 17 2009, 15:27:01 UTC

But it's who we are that's being tampered with here. Our memories, our values, those things that make us people, and--

Alright, the pen threat was pretty funny.
