Day 222 — Mandatory activity mingle
[ It's a wonderful, stormy day here in Squall Asylum and vacation time is officially over! Your gracious overlords have worked out a light itinerary for you today and they expect you to keep it.

Get in line to pick up your food rations for the day. Eat breakfast if you have time for it, or perhaps you'd rather skip this one time and save yourself the discomfort during the two hours of exercise that follow. Jogging, jumping jacks or perhaps impromptu team sports, whatever you end up doing you bet you'll come out exercised in the end!

Should you not want to participate... well. We have ways to make you join in. Anyone reluctant to get their heart rate up will get a helpful electric prod by one of the bots until they comply. Tough cookies.

Luckily you'll get a chance to wash off that sweat (hope you're not shy, the wash room can get crowded) before it's time for the silent game for an hour, followed by lunch. The day is not over yet though! There's still time for a couple of hours of hard labor tending to the crops, doing laundry or perhaps breaking bricks in the yard. To make sure none of the inmates are broken this is also the time for mandatory physical checkups — bots will guide you to the hospital. No ifs or buts. The violation of personal privacy is for your own good, we promise.

Isn't it nice, being in prison? ]

((ooc: This mingle takes place during all of day 222. A bullet-point for of the itinerary can be found here, where we also encourage you to direct any questions. Event info is here if you need it. ))

	[ Seeing someone else in worse shape than you yourself is oddly soothing and in comparison to Piter's weariness he considers his own angry red sunburns a minor inconvenience. ] You look like shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-06-13 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Is that so. [ total deadpan. not even enough energy to form an upward inflection right now. seeing spike burned as he is nearly puts a twitch of a smile on his face, though— it's always such a pleasure to see other people suffering— but he still can't help but be displeased that his own fatigue is so obvious. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-14 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [ Let's not confuse his curiosity for concern here. They may be murderbro's but that doesn't mean he cares. ] Don't tell me you bit th' cyanide prematurely? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-06-15 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Don't be a fool. [ a grimace, because spike is, in fact, being a total fool. piter is so not in the mood for this. ] I'll take it unkindly if you ever again suggest that I would be so stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ E y e r o l l. Seriously bro, get that stick out of your ass. ] So? What is it, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ sorry. the stick is way, way too firmly entrenched in his ass. ] I've fallen ill.

[ he doesn't like people to know. he doesn't want them to know. it worries him. too many people know this weakness already, and he doesn't want to make it common knowledge. piter would rather that spike think of him as a frail human, as a man prone to illness— it's preferable to the truth. ]

	[ And here he thought there were no secrets between them. Harsh. ] Ill. [ Really, you can do better than that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-06-17 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Ill. [ a wry, bitter smile turns his lips. of course the lie is a weak one; the lips it spills from are weak right now, as well. he is silent for a moment, but he doesn't glance away from spike. he won't show that weakness. he's already shown too much. he simply stares coldly, trying to analyze him. ] Have you some other theory? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-18 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ If Spike was the caring sort, he might actually pry. Luckily for everyone involved he isn't and instead of awkward follow up questions, he only shrugs. ] Don't really care either way. Just don't drop down dead or anything, it'd seriously make this place that much bloody duller. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Such flattery. [ it doesn't show, but he appreciates very much that spike won't pry. he feels as if a weight is lifted— a tiny one, but it's enough that he need not waste energy on fretting over it. he's going to need all the strength he can muster. ] I can promise nothing, but I do concur that it would be rather dull to be dead. A bit too peaceful an activity for my tastes.

	Depends on the kind of dead you know... not that you seemed too interested in that prospect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-07-11 01:01 am UTC (link)
	[ eyebrow raise. if spike is referring to what piter thinks he is... ] I'd rather avoid your mouth upon my neck, if it can be helped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Scoff. ] What, you think I want to stick my fangs in you? I'm just making conversation, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed 2013-07-11 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	Your conversational skills are less than impressive, then. [ a rather playful smirk, a roll of the eyes. ] But for the sake of conversation, I shall say that I find myself impressed with your eagerness to spurn such valuable blood as mine. [ it's a casual hint, but one that he's sure spike won't truly catch. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-07-12 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	[ He doesn't catch it entirely. There is some fumbling, fingers brushing in the attempt to catch, but his mental fist fails to grip the hint. Of course, that won't keep him from prying further now that his curiosity it piqued. ] What, you another of those special snowflakes we got running around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he isn't ready to spill everything, but this— dropping small, teasing hints— makes him feel in control of the situation. it works for him, allowing a sense of security as well as a way to test spike.

piter chuckles softly at spike's turn of phrase, an inquisitive look etching itself across his features. ] Which special snowflakes are these? [ genuinely curious, as he's actually unsure of which individuals spike might be referring to. ]

	Oh, you know... the lit'le brats we've got runnin' about, claimin' their blood will drive even the most stoic of vampires mad with desire. [ Yes, he's talking about someone specific. There is even scoffing! ] Throwin' himself at me like a cheap tart... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he might have giggled. but very derisively. a manly giggle, or so he assumes. ] How vile. [ piter has been in a situation that involved a man throwing himself at him, and it wasn't his favorite encounter. ] Luckily for you, Piter is no such strumpet— but, come now. Who is it that solicits you so, and why have you not punished him for his insolence? [ don't withhold the deets, spike. now piter actually wants to know. ]

	Lit'le blue piece of shit brat called Helix... could've had my fangs in him ten times over by now, but he's not worth my time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ piter lets out a bark of a laugh, ignoring the fact that it hurts his already aching muscles, and shakes his head in jovial not-quite-disbelief. of course spike and tyki would both hate helix just as he does. of course. it's moments like these that make him actually quite fond of his murderbros. ]

We've met. [ another little chuckle; one of his hands balls into a fist at his side to keep it from flying to his diaphragm in a useless urge to quell the pain. ] The mutt would be more tolerable dead, but it's as you say— not worth the time.

[ It's small, but Spike has always been good at noticing the things people don't want him to notice. A failing love life, crippling self doubt, all the little weaknesses he could oh so easily exploit and this time is only different in the way he chooses not to jam a knife in the cracks and twist. ]

You ever want to have a spot of fun on his expense, try telling him that he's not as good as the superhumans we got running around here. Doesn't matter that it's true, he'll go bloody mental trying to prove you wrong either way.

	blue_eyed 2013-08-24 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	[ if he is grateful to spike for not twisting the knife— and he is— he doesn't show it. a slight grimace of a smile remains fixed on his lips, and if not for the feral way his lips part into a grin, his expression would almost seem warm and friendly. ] Perhaps I shall. [ it'll be something to look forward to, if he can manage not to die. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ C'mon Piter bb. You can pull through for hilarity like this. ] Let me know when you do. I'm not one to pass up a good laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't I feel special. [ Dry and amused. ] I best be going. Places to go, people to see... I'm sure you understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
