Prefect's hurt. Dying maybe. There for days. Level three, room fourteen to sixteen. Don't know which. Send doctors.

[OOC: There may be some in universe late replies, once Prefect has gone to the infirmary and Barron can reply properly. c:]

[Barron gives Black Jack a distrusting look, but does as he's told. Even if he gives the infirmary scanner a slightly skeptical look.]

I always wonder if those things actually work. Is he gonna be okay?

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true. [Pause.] Are you a warden or what?

[Private]

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Who is my inmate, if you're uninformed.

Give Prefect my apologies, when he wakes up. I'll be dealing with Beatty as soon as possible.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

I'm an inmate.

And he survived? All that time? He had no food or water, plus the potentially damaging affects of a flood? [Rhade is impressed and likes Prefect, but also angry this happened.]

[Private]

[most_feared]

Goddamn... [Unhappy huff from Kay there.]

Okay. You did good, by the way. Good job.

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

What? Beatty's your inmate? Are you kidding me?

I'm not giving him any apologies. That isn't gonna change anything.

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Sorry man, thought you were a warden.

It was Beatty. And yeah, he survived in there all that time. Despite probably being ancient during the flood.

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's hard to imagine what he went through.

I didn't do a good job. It would have been a good job if he'd been found the day it happened.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

I get that a lot.

...Was he jealous of Prefect and O'Brien? [That's the only thing that makes sense to him. Though he's only dimly aware of how friendly Beatty and O'Brien are. Most of their threads are private.] I can't imagine Prefect doing anything to provoke him.

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing. You could put it to good use one day.

That's the thing. I have no idea why someone would do that to Prefect, of all people.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

I suppose I could.

The only thing I can think of is an unnecessary display of power against a competitor who wasn't competing.

Will he be all right?

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

If that's right, I'm not going to be impressed.

I don't know. Probably.

[staaaaaaare]

Will I be surprised if you tell me what happened, comrade?

private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

I don't know. You still friends with Beatty? Because if you are, you won't be for much longer.

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I'm not

I don't.

I don't have friends, comrade.

What did Beatty do?

private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Tried to kill Prefect, by the look of it. Beat the shit out of him, left him in a room for the flood. By the sound of it, it was because of you.

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

[His tone is now flat. Very, very flat.]

He didn't want him dead. [that's just guesswork, but he's fairly sure.]

What did he say?

private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

I think he would have died if he was there much longer. You can make your own conclusion about that.

Why don't you ask Prefect yourself? You could probably apologize at the same time.

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

[pause, he's thinking about what Beatty said. Back to flat.] He didn't intend him to die.

What, comrade, am I apologising for?

private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

You didn't see Prefect's face and the rest of it. It was pretty clear, man.

Prefect was rambling, but it was something about Beatty not liking you being friends with Prefect.

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I'm not friends with anyone. [The flat went into a bite of anger there. But he kills it.]

Beatty didn't want him dead.

private

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

Which is worse, dying and coming back or spending more than three days chronically injured in a room on your own?

Re: private

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

You don't need to tell me there are worse things than dead.

I wasn't saying it was better. Just that he didn't want him dead. It's a fact.

[Private]

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

In case you're humoring the idea, this isn't my fault.

Did Prefect mention why Beatty did it?

[Private]

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

There's no way you could have prevented it, but still. You better throw Beatty in zero as soon as possible.

Nope, not to me. He could barely speak.
