[David's about six months into his stay on the Barge and he's... frankly unimpressed. And a little bored. And a little annoyed with certain developments, so long as we're being totally honest, and after having a while to sit on it and think over the issue, he's turning on his communicator.]

In the past few months, two wardens have been demoted, [And both of them wardened people with his face, which is. Just weird. But there have been stranger freak coincidences in their lives, so.] and I've found myself wondering: why is it that inmates are subjected to such heavy questioning and scrutiny when they first arrive, and afterward, while wardens are almost automatically afforded a certain amount of trust by their peers?

Obviously, for the most part, it would seem that that trust hasn't been misplaced, but two demotions is still less than reassuring. Why should one put trust in any warden when they, too, have the potential to become an inmate?

I'm simply curious.

[Maybe.]

Okay, $40. Seriously, it's a bargain. I rent him to you, you can get into the bar and the CTS and all the other warden-locked areas, and you get to eat all his snacks. I'll even throw in free noseplugs for the smell.

[secretasshole]

I have no need or desire to use the CTS, the bar or most of the other warden-locked areas.

[mistconduct]

God damn it, I am the worst fucking pimp on the barge.

[secretasshole]

Perhaps you just need practice.

[mistconduct]

Show me something, David. Pimp a warden.

[secretasshole]

I'm afraid I'm not particularly familiar with the practice.

[mistconduct]

Okay. Okay, we'll do practice runs. You and me. Let's just mentally divide up half the wardens on the ship. You get half, I get half.

Now pick a warden, and try to sell me on their attributes. Why would I want to buy them? What can they do for me?

[secretasshole]

I'm not overly fond of most of the wardens currently on board.

[mistconduct]

You're killing me here, David. It's just a head game, we're messing around for the fun of it.

[secretasshole]

I'm sorry. You may have noticed, I'm not particularly well practiced in this sort of thing.

[mistconduct]

It's cool. But for future reference, this is how friends mess around with each other.

[secretasshole]

[... oh. :c]

You consider me your friend?

[mistconduct]

Well.

Yeah, man.

'Course.

[secretasshole]

I see.

[mistconduct]

....That's all right, isn't it?

I mean, we don't have to be if you don't want to, it's. It's whatever.

[secretasshole]

I've never had someone consider me a friend before. [And he is not. Really sure what to do with it?]

[mistconduct]

Oh.

Well, I mean. Fuck, man, you don't have to do anything. Just do what you've been doing, no big deal.

[secretasshole]

I understand. [Sort... of?]

[mistconduct]

Yeah, I promise I won't make friendship bracelets and make you wear one. Just be cool.

[secretasshole]

I'll do my best.
