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.]

What have you got in mind, Jean-Claude?

Well, Investeur, if you could find me the optimal market for a significant quantity of alcohol, and the prices people are prepared to pay or what they are prepared to barter for some, that'd be a fair exchange.

I guess I could do a bit of a search for you. But you know, if there is a market, I'm not just gonna let it be. If you know what I'm saying. [He wants in.]

Help me get my hands on some more, and we'll talk. I'm sure we can divide what we make. [How equally is a different matter]

I'll have to see what I can do about that as well. We'll have to draw up some kind of contract, if there's any real benefit in this whole alcohol business. [Warren likes contracts a lot.]

Re: private

Well, as far as I can see it, there's two currencies around here; alcohol and cigarettes. The second are much more freely avaliable than the latter, but just as much in demand. The alcohol is what people will do anything for. Or, some people.

Find me who and we've got a deal, as there has to be business in this.

It is awfully dry around here. I haven't run into anything stronger either. It's strange, for a prison, but it's not like there's a lot of contact with the outside.

Done. Jean-Claude, this looks like the beginning of a ver profitable friendship.

There's hardly anywhere to sneak contraband in from. We'll have to look out when there's a port that doesn't try to kill everyone.

I imagine it is, Investeur.

You know, we could make some. It's not like there'd be a lot of competition, or that they would be expecting quality when there's no alternative.

Do you know how? Because I might be French, but I haven't seen grapes in a very long time.

Well, not good stuff, but it's basic science, right? If you've got yeast and a high sugar content, bam, you get booze. Not tasty and it'll probably make you sick, but hey. Alcohol.

Re: private

[453gof-flesh.livejournal.com]

True enough. We'd have to get someone to get us some from the kitchen, though, as I... have been fired and I doubt anyone's going to buy that you're capable of working there.

private - you can actually make hooch like this. It's so gross though. :c

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

Well, all you really need from there is the yeast. The sugar is managable, all you'd have to do is collect fruit and things from lunch. So we just need to work out the yeast. There's bound to be a way.

Re: private - I read a thing once. :D clapet, however, deals with meat.

[453gof-flesh.livejournal.com]

...I have rather a large supply of fruit as it is. Does it matter if it's dried?

[Clapet, getting out of his 'no, that's money!' thinking?]

I suppose we just need to persuade someone to go and bake.

private - sadly, I don't know if it's possible to make meat booze. :c

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

I don't think it should. We could just put in water to compensate, right?

Yeah, true. Really, there might be someone who's willing to do it for some of the product.

Re: private - I imagine clapet might have tried.

[453gof-flesh.livejournal.com]

We could, we could.

...There might. See if you can find someone who works in the kitchen who might be prepared to do that.

private - Ewww. Because rotting fruit is so much better. XD

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll sound it out. There's bound to be someone.
