Okay, guys? I have problems. Yeah. I know. How surprising. [Warren shrugs, smiling. He doesn't mind. But onto the serious business.]

One. Why don't we have fixed sentences? I mean, seriously. If this is a prison and not an asylum, can't we reasonably have some guestimate as to how long we're gonna be here for? Because this indefinite shit? It's not helping anyone. Really, trust me on this.

Second. You know how people are getting murdered when Iago feels like he needs a sandwich or whatever? What about the non-murderous people, like me? Why don't we ever get rewarded for being good little prison zombies? Because seriously, people are less likely to do bad stuff if they've got things to lose. And at the moment, people don't have any chance of freedom and nothing really important to stop them from messing with the other inmates.

Thirdly. [He stops, leaning towards the camera.] Since I've just like, enlightened you all so much, I don't suppose anyone's got some smokes?

[Yeah, Warren's just fishing for free stuff at the same time as being a bit astute with dubious motives.]

Yeah, that doesn't count. People think it does, but it doesn't.

Seems I had you all wrong. I didn't figure you for the moral compass type.

Private.

My moral compass is pretty accurate, I have to say.

And yet you wound up here... Life's full of mysteries.

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Of the ridiculously stupid kind. I want out.

Private.

[identity profile] call-me-saffron.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You and I both. I guess all we can do is try to enjoy ourselves in whatever little ways we can until such a time as we figure that one out... Of course, having booze to hand would make "enjoying ourselves" that little bit easier.

Whose bright idea was it to put the pub in the wardens' section, anyway?

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-17 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm with you. Being completely off my face is more or less the only way to make this place close to bearable. Come to think of it, have you got a warden yet?

Someone trying to keep us miserable, I'd bet.

Private.

[identity profile] call-me-saffron.livejournal.com 2010-09-17 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Miserable and (supposedly) malleable. I don't know about you but being in a bad mood generally makes me less likely to put up with people's bullshit.

And yeah, I got sorted. Fanny—do you know her? She's...a character. What about you?

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-18 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, me too. If this place was more tolerable, people would do less stuff.

Fanny. Yeah, I don't think so. Probably not. I've just got some random guy.

Private.

That's a shame. I was under the distinct impression the Admiral had a twisted sense of humour when assigning us to wardens...

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-18 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
My warden basically said that he wasn't graduating me. I don't get why the Admiral put me with him. So you might be right, I guess.

Private.

Do you think you're ready to leave, anyway? I mean, you must be having so much fun here. [What a shame you can't hear the sarcasm...]

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-19 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Here can be fun, but the big wide world is so much better. I'm more than ready to leave.

Private.

Having been here a week, I don't blame you.

Private.

[identity profile] warrenwhite.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Some people here sound like they've been here for years.
