fifty-eight : every idiot who goes about with merry christmas on his lips

Dec 20, 2010 02:00

Maybe it was just growing up as an only child in a broken divorced home? But I never got the whole Christmas thing. I'm sick of putting up decorations and getting caught under mistletoe, and everything else. If anyone needs me? I'll be hiding in my room.. or maybe on deck, if I get bored, I guess.

Divorced? Surely not! [Much more horrible in 1818.]

Yeah, it was pretty horrible. [It's totally a lie, because the truth is worse. :|]

Such things are very uncommon indeed. Illegal, too, in much of the world.

When I come from, it's pretty common. It's still illegal in some parts of the world? But in America, the country I lived in, it was like.. half of marriages, that ended in divorce.

In person or over the journals?

Over the journals, because you might not like this..

I can't do this anymore. I can't ignore all the things you've done when I still don't even know if you're just using me. So, it's up to you: You can keep me as a business partner, where we stop being friends and go back to not trusting each other and I help you with whatever work you want.. or we're friends and we trust each other, but I stop working with you on the fear gas and the truth serum and stuff. I won't tell anyone still and I won't give them anything I have of yours, I just won't help you make new stuff right now.

Please think about it for a minute, before you answer.

[Have a long thinking minute.] You're probably not going to believe me when I say this, but not working on more fear toxin and truth serum may be the best thing at the moment. I also have commitments. I was previously considering that any attack on the Joker would be completely justified, but I suspect finding loopholes isn't helpful. So it might be for the best if we put our studies on hold for the present.

You're missing the whole point.

Friendship or business, Crane? That's it. That's all it comes down to. What you just said? Is definitely leaning toward the latter.

That's fine. Are you alright?

I'm totally fine-- great, even. I'm just, trying to give you some space and some privacy. You deserve it. Anything that might help, you know?

Well, thanks, Hayley. I'm glad that you're comfortable enough to be in your own room now.

...I'm sorry about the Christmas tree thing, by the way.

I don't know if I would say that, really. Yeah, me too.

Please don't apologize.

[Pause for HMM apparently not everyone heard plotting.] Well enough. How long did it take you to settle in?

[Private] victimofnoone December 20 2010, 18:43:29 UTC
To make some friends and get in a rhythm? A few weeks. To get used to the Barge and everything is has to offer? About a year.

I'm guessing it's a little easier for wardens, though.

You'd think. Looks like a long year ahead of me.

It really depends on the inmate you get too. Some graduate pretty quick, some never have in the time I've been here. Some are pretty low-key, some are super high maintenance. Just hope you get stuck with someone who's not terrible.

I don't know.. My first year here, everything was new and interesting. This is my second Christmas now and the newness is gone. Everyone's always so happy around Christmas and the holiday at my house always sucked. Honestly? I kinda resent them a little bit, for having such good childhoods.

I mean, I'm totally fine. I'm just trying to avoid all the good cheer and stick to my room, but I'm not being antisocial or anything.

How are you doing?

Re: Private takeyouapart December 20 2010, 19:40:51 UTC
I'm fine. At a bit of a loose end, though. Nobody's been assigned to me yet.

...

My room isn't really festive at the moment. If you get a bit sick of avoiding by yourself, I mean.

Private victimofnoone December 20 2010, 19:46:14 UTC
People aren't assigned like they used to be.. I mean, it seems like there are more wardens that go unpaired for awhile. I don't know why.

I don't want you to get sick of me.. Maybe I could come by later, after dinner, for a little bit?
