I didn't do anything! Charlie attacked me!

Do you think I'd have a bloody nose if that bastard hadn't caught me by surprise?

He's just mad that I got the drop on him last time, which I've done my time for, so he showed up at my room and tried to kill me with my own desk chair! I was trying to be nice, I wanted to make peace, but he threw my chair

Really?

[cautionarystory]

Charlie came looking for trouble. It wasn't my fault this time.

[mimic_peter]

What happened?

[cautionarystory]

Charlie asked me to meet him, I said okay, he got all rough, there was a bit of a fight, I got him in the eye, he socked me in the face, now we're both in the cell block again.

[i_hate_posses]

Maybe they should look at my eye, girly. I still ain't able to see shit out of it.

Bitch.

[cautionarystory]

Oh please. That was self-defense.

[i_hate_posses]

Yeah? Then what about them long marks across my face? That self defense too?

If I ain't able to see again, I promise you...

[cautionarystory]

Charlie, when you hit a girl with long nails, you're probably gonna end up with scratch marks.

I know you're brain's not too big, but search it hard and try to remember. You hit me, and knocked me down, then you hit me again, then I scratched you. I was trying to get you off me.

See, when someone hits someone else, and the second person hits the first person back because they're trying to prevent the first person hitting them again, that's called self defense. It's when you're defending yourself.

[lovett_bythesea]

Blimey, what has your knickers in a twist?

[cautionarystory]

This guy attacked me and I'm getting locked up because I didn't lie there like a brick and not defend myself.

Does that sound fair?

[lovett_bythesea]

Not at all fair, but sometimes, that's how the world works.

[onderhaus]

Always with the pity parties. "Me, me, me, I'm the innocent victim."

Why don't you just shut the fuck up for once?

[cautionarystory]

If you'd keep your inmate in line, you wouldn't have to hear anybody bitching about him.

[onderhaus]

Charlie was wrong, but make no mistake: this is your fault.

All the tears and finger-pointing in the world aren't going to warm me up to you, Princess.

[cautionarystory]

Is it my fault if a man comes into my bedroom and starts hitting me? I've served my time for what I did to him; I really don't think he should take the law into his own hands like that.

I'm not looking to be friends with you, Scrooge.

[tadwizard]

...again?

Are you completely incapable of learning? Even an animal will stop doing something eventually when it always turns out badly for them.

[cautionarystory]

I didn't do anything! This time it was all Charlie! I swear to god, Tony, I was defending myself!

[tadwizard]

Fine, tell me what happened.

Although I wonder why the Admiral would lock you up if you were innocent...

[cautionarystory]

Charlie said he wanted to talk to me, and I said sure. He came by, then he started getting all rough, and I got freaked out and tried to shock him, but it's not like my ability is much of a defense anymore. He threw a chair at me, tackled me and punched me a few times in the face, and I scratched him 'cause I was trying to get him off.

'Cause he's a moronic asshole, that's why.
