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?

	Squall covered it fairly well I thought. This place is a dump compared to the last. [ and somehow much more like to what he had expected upon arriving in Marina. Be careful what you wish for... Hah! ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Squall" just means "storm". [ Pause. ] Oh. Are you thinking "squalid"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ ... ] Squalor, actually. [ same root, but like heck if Bak will admit to that! ] Why do we need to nickname it anyway? A prison is a prison! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what you do when you're in prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought our job was to discover a means of escaping, not making up meaningless names. [ not that they had been doing such a great job in the other place, but... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No reason we can't do both. So what do you think of "the slammer". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it's idiotic, but if you're going to insist, it's better then those others you were spouting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sweet, I'll go with that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
