[39] - [Video]

[Barron's sitting on his bed, journal pointed up at his face. Behind him, you can just catch sight of a huge collection of post-it notes taped up to the wall, along with highlighted pieces of paper and pages ripped out of various books, as well as what looks suspiciously like a drawing of Prefect's face. That suspicion is probably confirmed, considering you can just see the edge of a post-it reading "...ect" with an arrow pointing down to the picture.]

I gotta question for everyone. Why isn't this a sober barge? Why give guys in jail drinks? It doesn't work like that where I come from.

Not to mention, what's the best place to work in this dump? I want a job. Not like cleaning or anything, I want an awesome job. Like a space mechanic. I could do that, I went to law school.

When I was an inmate, I felt the best place to work was in the kitchen. I liked it enough to supervise this time around.

[She considers it further.]

Although...given your issue with hands, it probably wouldn't be a good placement for you.

[sharpememory]

No, wait. That could be great. I can make sure that everyone keeps their gloves on.

[intofireforever]

As much as I'd love to have you [and she would, she's not being snide] I think breakfast is about full up. I have Morgana, Mr. Lecter and Perry working with me.

But...I think lunch and dinner each have an open slot! You can ask Gaheris, or...[and she's clearly consulting a note here]..."Seven of Nine."

[sharpememory]

Is that a group of people or a person?

[intofireforever]

[Laura shrugs, a little embarrassed that she doesn't know any better.]

I'm not sure. A person, I think. I don't know why a whole group of people would need to supervise a shift...

[sharpememory]

Yeah, I guess. I'll go ask those guys and see if I can get a spot.

[intofireforever]

[She crosses the fingers of one hand.]

Let me know how it turns out for you!

[sharpememory]

Will do.

[buywithme]

I think it's because it's not meant to be a traditional prison? Your treatment here is meant to be more personalized than that.

[Uh.]

I don't know that space mechanic would be the perfect job for you... Maybe you could offer to assist in the infirmary? They all have to wear gloves there, I think.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, I guess. It's just weird. Maybe we shouldn't have it.

They were see through gloves, though. Every time I go there I vomit in my mouth a little.

[buywithme]

Well, maybe you and I won't have it anymore? At least for a little while?

Oh. Well, that's certainly not a good thing to be doing in the infirmary. Is there somewhere else you'd like to be?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, okay. We can do that.

Um, someone recommended the kitchen, which I think I could do. I could start a non see through glove revolution or something.

[buywithme]

Would you like to try and do some memory recovery exercises today?

[Private]

[sharpememory]

The kind where I remember awesome stuff that we've done?

Also, that Charles dude said he might be able to help with my memories and stuff. I dunno if I trust him, but I guess you could talk to him about it.

[omar]

Don't know 'bout where you come from, but there all kind of ways to get drunk in Earth prison if you want it that bad. I just assume the Admiral go ahead and cut out the middle man on that.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, you're probably right. He saved us from a lot of bad booze and food poisoning on the way.

[omar]

Can say a lot about this place, but at least ain't no one gone blind yet.

[sharpememory]

Well, not outside of a flood anyway.

[routemistress]

Dunno about you, lovey, but I certainly wouldn't 'ave come if I'd 'ad to try and tackle it sober.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, well. I'm kind of getting over drinking my way through my problems, you know? It doesn't help.

[maxwells_demon]

Seems to me that it's done because there's no harm in it if well regulated.

Don't think you're supposed to be drunk off your ass 24/7.

[sharpememory]

Dude, I am sober at least eighty percent of the time.

[maxwells_demon]

Yep! And I'd like to think you're better for it.

[sharpememory]

I guess so? I mean, maybe I would be doing more bad inmate stuff if I was sober more of the time.

[keepsthemsafe]

...son, don't fucking ruin it for the new arrivals where-ever this place is all right?

[sharpememory]

Ha, they could still get it if they tried hard enough.

[keepsthemsafe]

I don't particularly feel up to sellin' anything for it.

[silvestris]

We all know the first thing a broken engine needs is a lawyer.

[sharpememory]

Well, I'm not really qualified. I didn't get to take the bar or anything.

[silvestris]

Did you get past freshman year, or did you really just switch your major to Kegstanding?

[hungryanhorny]

There a reason you're complaining? [Careful - she co-runs the place.]
