I've been convicted of a murder that I didn't commit. And I literally mean an actual murder I didn't commit -- it's not something back home that I'm just too chickenshit to fess up to.

And the thing is, Veridical stuck this D/s collar on me, so at first I thought it was just making up some excuse to avoid admitting it was jealous that I'm already in a relationship. But then it turned out I'm not the only one being punished.

So who all out there has to deal with this bullshit today?

	Yeah, and I got punished for killing one in Sector three. [ He lets that hang for a second. ] You ever been to Sector six? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. I haven't. But there have been some things cropping up that are making me think I need to test some theories in there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I highly recommend it. Sadly, I won't be able to join you for the next three days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So the collar was given to anyone else also in the sector at the time the wasps were killed, am I right? Hn, actually, can I see you in person? Or are you grounded again and can't have visitors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] smuppeteer 2012-12-23 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	I think I got it since I already killed one before, actually. You can see me. I'm at the education center doing my punishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] bluemoondog 2012-12-23 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. I'll head over. I want to talk about this some more but a little more one on one. [AKA Where the Wardens can't hear everything they say if they wanted to listen in. A small snicker.] What's your punishment this time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] smuppeteer 2012-12-23 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Paintings. Again. Couldn't even come up with something new to make me do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guess they think you're an artist who needs to get his feelings down in the form of abstract figures on canvas. Can't wait to see it, so I'll be there soon. Maybe I'll play a bit on the piano, give you some music to work by. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am a pretty dope artist, not gonna lie. That'd be cool. I'll be waiting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The feed will go dead due to the fact Helix was on his way and it definitely wouldn't take long, seeing as they lived in the same sector as the education center. He visits there frequently enough so he knows the halls by now. He figures the wayward Strider is off in the art room painting to his hearts content.

He wanders in when he finds him and tries to peer over his shoulder at what he's making.]

	[ He sits at a canvas, carefully painting a pair of naked dudes having buttsex. (Not anyone in the prison, just a couple of random dudes.) It's pretty good, too. He doesn't stop even when he senses Helix peering over his shoulder. ] Hey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[His initial response is almost keymash worthy, eyes slightly widened and caught a little off guard. Definitely not what he was expecting to see. The fact that the gay porn Dirk is making actually isn't half-bad also doesn't help. He stares, dumbfounded for a moment, head tilting slightly as he studies it before the other actually acknowledges his presence.

He sort of shakes himself out of it to try and come up with a cool, snarky remark. No need letting the other know it stifled him for a minute there. He was almost a little scandalized if kind of aroused.]

Guess that's one way you can give a big ol' fuck you to their punishments.

	I refuse to believe they didn't know what they were gettin' into when they said I had to paint something for public display. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Action!] bluemoondog 2012-12-26 02:07 am UTC (link)
	[Snickering softly and still watching him work.] Yeah, that's a good point. Then again these wardens actually provide us with porn and toys and everything so... guess they don't mind much. [Tilting his head the other way as if that improves the angle.] I never would have pegged you for the type. Getting some of your sexual frustrations out on canvas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-26 02:10 am UTC (link)
	The type to draw porn? Dude, it was one of my favorite pastimes back in Waterworld. [ He sits back to let the paint dry before he moves on. He's learned his lesson from his last failed attempt at painting. It's nothing like drawing with a tablet. ] Anyway, Roxy, Jake, and me are having a joint birthday party in a few days. You're coming.

	No shit? [He almost asks if he's ever drawn porn of people he knew but is derailed by the almost-command.] Do I have to bring a gift? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-26 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Right now the plan is to have it in Sector 6. You know the funny thing about Sector 6? [ He gestures to his headset lying on a nearby table -- he took it off when Helix headed over. ] Communication malfunctions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Huh. [A thoughtful pause.]

I think it's more than that. I know someone that hid in Sector 6 to avoid therapy. The bots didn't so much as bother him. Though he was punished for skipping.

And the Wardens could figure out by process of elimination who was in Sector 6 when the murders occurred. You said it was you and some others right? But obviously not just anyone? I mean I wasn't called in cause I wasn't in there, even if I've got enough of a violent background to potentially be suspect.

The life signs of the wasps were what clued them in to anything though.

I'm not so sure we can be tracked in there. I kind of want to test that theory and see what we can get away with. It's just a matter of how.

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-26 03:04 am UTC (link)
	Precisely. They're obviously able to detect when murders take place, if not who the culprits are, but the question of other crimes is still up in the air. Not to mention the question of who they would charge if everyone was there at the time. I'm glad to have your support. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Everyone? [Hmm, more thinky expressions.]

Hmm, are you sure you should bring the glitch to the Warden's attention? On such a large scale like that it might prompt them to fix it. I mean if there are a few of us wandering in there and getting lost or something, it's no big thing but... if something happens with most of the dome there?

It could mean we'd lose our Make-Out Point.

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-26 05:31 am UTC (link)
	They're already aware of it. It's basically statistically impossible that they aren't. Veridical didn't say I did it -- it said I couldn't be cleared of the crime. So if they could have fixed the error by now, they would have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, yeah, that should be obvious otherwise there is some major glitch in their observation programming.

My thought is they might not be concerned about it for now because there has only been one small incident involving a murder of other inmates. If something else happens with a huge group of us, they might find it worrisome enough to fix it. Understand?

If we do things and don't get caught it'll be left alone but if too much happens and it becomes a problem for the wardens then we'll lose the chance to use Sector 6 to our advantage.

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-29 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm, good point. [ He considers that for a moment, then nods. A mass orgy of murder and mayhem is out. ] Still, I don't want to assume we can use it for whatever we want without some more experimentation. I'll attack one Sector 6 inmate, but won't kill it, and I'll talk to Jake about testing out some unlicensed sex. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action!] bluemoondog 2012-12-29 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	[Wow Dirk, just toss that out there all casual like. It's progress though.] You two are finally getting serious huh? [He clears his throat.] Anything I can do to help? Since I'm gonna be there anyway, I want to see how this pans out and experiment with it too. [That... isn't what it sounds like.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action!] smuppeteer 2012-12-29 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ A shrug. ] I guess. [ He's definitely not about to share the tale of Jake hanging upside-down off a tree and Spiderman-kissing him. ] How about some good old-fashioned littering? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
