Gotta say, this place is finally startin' to feel like a prison. [He's not especially bothered by it.]

And what the Admiral said wasn't far off. You can all whine and throw your fits 'bout having your alcohol taken away and your high tech gym closed off, but this is a goddamn prison. Fact is, most of us deserve a hell of a lot worse than what we've been getting.

Buck up, would you? This isn't a resort. We're here for a reason, maybe you should think about what that is.

[Private to DEAN]

[but here he discards that act, or at least the parts that were an act.] What the hell is going on up there?

If everyone got what they deserved I wouldn't be 'ere.

[Iris speaks neutrally, with only the faintest softening round her eyes and the corner of her mouth, and she does not choose to clarify precisely what she means by that statement.]

[itstopped]

That's all well and good, but prisons usually come attached with things like sentence limits and parole.

Not that I really mind the changes. I'm just wondering why people are starting to act like it's becoming a real prison instead of giving it the name it should have... a camp.

[anewlanguage]

I've been in camps, this ain't it either. This is more of a glorified psych retreat where all the ethics got tossed overboard.

[itstopped]

You say that as if I haven't. Your view of this place may be more optimistic than mine.

[anewlanguage]

Seems to be. I just know the camp I was in, I wasn't allowed to move, and we sure as hell weren't offered liquor.

[itstopped]

We're not. Our guards are.

[ Video : Private ]

[surfaceshine]

That was very touching. You should consider actually listening to yourself.

[This distracted and flat, but immediate; Dean doesn't always pay as much attention to the network as he should, but he does pay attention to his inmate.]

We're working on it. There's a couple different theories flying around but none we can prove. You heard anything?

[with_my_teacup]

Or you could consider not behaving like you belong here.

Thought.

[Riddick looks unamused. And like he's been wrists deep in some game animal, which he has, because venison for lunch, children.]

[anewlanguage]

Since the only things I've done since I got here are get murdered, and get murdered again, I'd say I'm doin' a good job of that already.

[with_my_teacup]

Nah, that still sounds like prison to me. Except for the 'again.'

[anewlanguage]

[Snort] Point.

Done a lot of time, then?

[with_my_teacup]

Little bit. Admittedly, not a whole lot consecutively after I first figured out where the exits were.

You're here to be rehabilitated, not imprisoned indefinitely. And a lot of people here don't deserve this sort of treatment.

[ She's pissed off by the changes, and she knows she can pick an easy fight with Cain. Not to mention, she's right. ]

If prison worked do you really think any of us would be here?

[anewlanguage]

If prison doesn't work, why's Batman so hellbent on getting us all behind bars back home?

video;

[ichoosefight]

Because he doesn't care about rehabilitating anyone. [ Perhaps a bit harsh, but certainly true. ]

video;

[anewlanguage]

[Huh. ...Heh.] You're not gonna last long with him. He doesn't like you kids criticizing him.

[ichoosefight]

Been there, done that, don't care. [ She did only last six months... ]

Besides, I'm my own person. What do I care what he does or doesn't like me to do?

[hungryanhorny]

Kinda funny how I don't remember being an inmate, then.

[anewlanguage]

Never? Huh. You seem the type who's done a little time. [No offense.]

[hungryanhorny]

Was sort of referring to the barge. [She won't deny going to a more mortal prison.]

[anewlanguage]

Then you've really got no room to complain, doll. You're here of your own free will, working for something with your inmate as your number one tool.

[sharpememory]

Hey, don't be an asshole. The pub was great.

[anewlanguage]

...That it was. Yeah I'll give you that. I don't really want to start brewing hooch in the toilet like the real desperate prisoners do.

[sharpememory]

I just brew it in old bottles, but it tastes really, really bad.

[anewlanguage]

Had a saying back home: long as it doesn't leave you dead, blind, or sober, drink up.

You trade for bottles?
