[4] My inmate is a stubborn old man.

[notarrowette]

Beatty! Congratulations! You've got yourself a job on Custodial Duty starting tomorrow morning. Enjoy!

[Warden Filter]If Beatty asks for anything, please don't give it to him. He doesn't take me seriously as his warden, so I want everything to go through me. I wouldn't put it past him to try to do whatever he can to avoid dealing with me,

[Warden Filter] Gabe has adopted Cissie. She is his surrogate Anna.

[painhumbles]

Just don't let him scare you, kiddo. If all else fails, knock him down a few pegs and keep him there. He'll come around or else.

Alternately, I can put a boot in his ass for you. I'm already Wardening two Inmates right now- not by choice, I might add.

[Warden Filter] I just made some kind of squeaky noise that scared my cat. <3

[notarrowette]

So far he's pissing me off more than scaring me. He called me insane. I'm okay with acting a little insane if I have to. And--I might, to make him listen. We'll see.

But thank you. If worse comes to worse, I may take you up on that. You've got those phenomenal cosmic powers at your disposal that must come in awfully handy.

How's that working out for you, anyway?

[Warden Filter] AWW. <33

[painhumbles]

I hear they do that. Just keep a stiff upper lip and don't let 'em see you sweat.

No problem. I've been kicking ass all week, might as well make it my job. Maybe I'll put up an ad: "Will Beat Your Inmates For You Until Morale Improves."

The phenomenally cosmic powers, in general? Or just when it comes to my inmate? Because the answer's not bad in either case. Could do without the floods though.

[Warden Filter] <3!

[notarrowette]

I'm working on it, trust me. I think I'm going to have to work hard to out-stubborn the old bastard.

Haha, normally I'd say you'd be doing a lot of business but things seem incredibly... cheerful lately.

Well, I meant the double-inmate thing, but now that you mention it... Though we haven't had one of those for a while. ...I need to go knock on wood now.

[Warden Filter]

[painhumbles]

The double inmate thing is like I got kicked in the teeth by a horse, but it's okay, 'cause Dean Winchester looks like he got trampled by one, thanks to me and my amazing Warden-ing skills.

...Come to think of it, I haven't heard from my real Inmate in awhile.

[LOL. AWESOME WARDENING SKILLS, DUDE. :|]

[Warden Filter]

[notarrowette]

...You didn't actually have a horse trample him, did you?

Who is your real inmate?

[Warden Filter]

[painhumbles]

No! ...I broke his foot with... My foot.

Irene Adler. Our Warden-Inmate relationship is as functional as an iron lung in a kitchen cabinet.

[Warden Filter]

[notarrowette]

[Excuse her, she's just laughing at that.]

Considering I plan on doing everything I can to annoy my inmate until he decides to go to work just to escape me? I don't think I can throw stones there.

...Irene Adler as in--from Sherlock Holmes?

[Warden Filter]

[painhumbles]

Yep! Holmes would be so proud... And would probably want to hurt her as badly as I do sometimes.

[Warden Filter]

[notarrowette]

I'm pretty sure he did, didn't he? It's been a while since I read them.

[Private]

...Do you think I can do this?

[Warden Filter]

[painhumbles]

Oh hey. Good to know. I've only... Heard about them through all that pop culture osmosis.

[Private]

Pfft. C'mon, kid. Your boarding school got invaded by alien lifeforms. I'd say you can handle a lot more than the old bastard gives you credit for.

[Warden Filter]

[notarrowette]

I'm pretty sure there was no love lost there, anyway. Of course, I always just thought they were the epic love stories of Holmes and Watson, but my English teacher didn't care for that opinion very much.

[Private]

Heh. Thanks, Gabe. I think I just--had a moment.
