Where are you?

[ Open ]

Who wants to start some hardcore prison barter system? Give me your candy bar for my piece of cabbage or I'll shank you with my toothbrush, etc.

Actually, are we even still calling it "prison"? This place has a more backwater feel to it than MarinaNova, so I feel some slang is in order. "The slammer", maybe? "The clink" implies metal cell bars, so I don't think that's appropriate. "The big house". I don't know, I'm still relatively new to this life of crime shit. Thoughts?

	Umm. [Under a bed.] Around and about. I'm glad to hear from you, dear. Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[filtered] smuppeteer 2013-05-28 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	More or less. I'm thinkin' the five of us should hole up in the same room. Kick out any intruders. Stake our claim, make some shivs. What do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think you mean six, unless you're planning on kicking him out when he's awake. [No objections here, really.] But I would strongly prefer that arrangement. Being with friends is infinitely better than being with strangers. [And especially compared to hiding under a bed with strangers in the room.] ... What's a shiv? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[filtered] smuppeteer 2013-05-28 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	I was considering it. A shiv's, like, a makeshift knife. You use them to shank people. It's an Earth prison thing -- or at least an Earth prison movie thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Understandable. —but I don't want to "shank" anyone! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Damn, son, were your shades prescription? Our wardens are real chipper cheerful digital devils, red horns and hairless tails. The fire's all around us, concentrated in the location of My Fucking Head, but rapidly spreading outward. There's a sea of vomit you just can't bail outta that boat of yours. And that brimstone is what's weighing you down, limbs heavy, steps slow. All the dome's a dreary goddamn place, no fanfare or pep to it.

Also, no booze.

Sounds pretty hellish to me.

I'm afraid I don't have any particularly interesting slang to contribute, though I will say "the slammer" does have a nice sound.

[ she laughs just a bit. ]

I've asked Callie already, but I figure I'll ask you yourself as well; are you doing alright?

[ she fully intends on hunting each of the alphas down individually to check in with them, regardless of how close they are. ]

	[ He doesn't mind the checking in. Once he was sure all his friends were okay, he was probably going to look into Aradia and Vriska anyway. Maybe. If he remembered. ] Yeah, I'm good. How're you holding up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ voice ] corpsepartying 2013-05-29 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Well enough. I don't exactly feel like I'm in tip-top-form, but I suppose that's to be expected. Are you doing alright with your rations? Do you need extras? [ she does sound a little groggy. and yes, she's offering up some of her food. yeah, she needs to eat just like anyone else, but she'd rather be a little hungrier if it means she can help others. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ voice ] smuppeteer 2013-05-29 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Nah, I'm good. [ Pause. ] Actually, if you could spare your chocolate for our cherubian pals? I don't think they can eat the rest of this shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
