Day 211 [action/voice]
[ action/open ]

[ From long before the morning message -- since around midnight, actually -- until around noon, Dirk can be found working in the gardens in Sector Four. When it begins to rain, he scowls, but keeps his work up. He has a date to go on tonight; and he's fairly sure that if he skips out, that troll that is his pre-scratch self will further attempt to fuck things up with Jake. He can't allow that.

Do feel free to bother him. ]

[ voice/open/around 11AM ]

What a great day for rain.

Got a few things I wanted to mention before I'm too preoccupied. First: That wiki Crane was working on? Last night I added a page to answer a bunch of recurring newbie questions. Hopefully, it'll cut down on some of the repetitiveness of New Inmates Day.

Second: My friend Roxy and I have a project we're working on. You know, bettering ourselves for rehab and shit? Anyone who's good with computers is welcome to come help us out. Tony Stark, Penelope Garcia? You two might be interested. We're thinking of meeting in the computer lab tomorrow, around one PM. Who all's game?

Third: Just so everyone knows, I'm taking Jake English to the Sadie Hawkins dance tonight. This is not up for debate. [ He's just a smidgen defensive. Things have been getting under his skin lately. ]

[ action/closed to flatmates ]

[ Around noon, Dirk drags himself home, takes a surprisingly quick shower to clean the mud from himself, and collapses face-first into bed.

You really don't want to bother him. Or do you? ]

	I'm not that great at it either, but we've all got to make sacrifices. ((OOC: It's a discussion group for people interested in hacking the wardens' systems. They could probably get away with not talking to each other! )) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You say "got to" like it's mandatory. I'm usually pretty good at getting everything I want. Terrible scrap aside. [Translation: "what's in it for me?"] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It will be a thrilling and enlightening exchange of information. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Holy shit, someone who can actually read between the lines. You do realize you're a severe minority in this place?] I'm all for thrilling. Clothing optional? ["What equipment should I bring with?"] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk may be bad at people, but obfuscation is one thing he's good at. ] Dude, at least wear pants. This isn't that kind of exchange of information. [ It's just going to be talking. For now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I must. [He does a good job of sounding put-upon, even.] Though I'm not sure what kind of fun we're gonna have with clothes and without booze. [He's in. At least until he gets bored and wanders off.] Assuming I'm done bothering the kiosk by then. They haven't even tazed me yet. [Suckers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They haven't? Wow, you really need to step up your game, Stark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, it's shameful. You'd think higher intelligence would be quicker on the uptake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How do you know they're not? Clearly what they want is for you to be more proactive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean like a sledgehammer? [because that would be awesome.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something like that. Just keep escalating until you get the attention you deserve. You can do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds worth a stint in solitary, or a full day on camera or something equally stupid. [The punishments here, seriously.] Though if I'm going to blow the thing up I should at least have an audience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then again, solitary confinement shouldn't keep, say, the best and brightest from pulling something ostentatious. [ If you give a dude a box of scraps... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I welcome suggestions on how to be even more obnoxious, though I promise nothing about shared credit. But I can graciously wait until after your little party to get myself put on lockdown. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice; smuppeteer 2013-03-20 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe that can be another discussion topic for tomorrow. See you there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
