You know, that flood that came by a month ago might have opened a few cans of worms I would have liked to avoid and would love even more to just forget about -- but I can see why people that are like that stick with it.

Might have felt horrible after the fact, but not caring about anything was nice while it lasted.

What brought this on?

[gimmethemap]

This last week has been a -- what is the word? 'clusterfuck'? -- of things happening, and I'd just kind of like to turn my brain off for a while.

[bythe_books]

I agree.

Luckily, it's nothing a few pints can't solve.

[gimmethemap]

Or five or six.

Fancy a drink?

[bythe_books]

After this week, I wish. But I've got a bit of business to attend to for the foreseeable future.

[Private]
Okay, that's a lie, but given recent 'stalker' issues regarding my Inmate...

Er. It'll have to be late. Like 'he's asleep and I've locked him in for the night' late.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Fair enough.

Is he all right?

Are you all right?

Private

[bythe_books]

No, he isn't. But he never is. Guess I could say that about most of the people here.

And... Yeah, I'm just at the end of my rope is all. It's frustrating, being constantly undermined. Whether it's through meetings or through a secret journal system. I know that's what's going on, so I have to act like a bloody jailer to get anything done, and all that does is push him further to this delusional nut who wants to destroy him.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Is there a reason why he's drawn to him in the first place? I mean -- I don't want to say that I've always seen him as somewhat stronger than most -- just more like what you've said on occasion yourself: very set in his ways.

Private

[bythe_books]

This man's promising him a return to his ways. That's why Prefect wants to eat up anything he says.

He wants to set Prefect up for devastation to make him suddenly 'realise' that this man is the only person who's ever cared for him. I wish I were joking.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Who is this again?

Private - He's torn between blabbing for his own peace of mind and being quiet

[bythe_books]

...



Sylar.

Private

[gimmethemap]

So is he another one of those Inmates who still has powers for no good reason?

Private

[bythe_books]

Yeah. We get a lot of those.

Private

[gimmethemap]

And you confronted him about this face to face once already? Or was it Prefect that punched you?

Private

[bythe_books]

Yeah. Confronted both of 'em.

And uh, no, Prefect hasn't punched me. But his new best friend did try to go all Darth Vader on me.

Private

[gimmethemap]

It sounds like you handled that with a lot more calm than I would have.

Private

[bythe_books]

I just don't think it changed anything.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Yeah. There's a lot of that going around lately.

Private

[bythe_books]

Having the same problem yourself?

Private

[gimmethemap]

Not having the exact same problem as yours, no, but I kind of agree that I'm starting to feel like there's less progress being made.

Private

[bythe_books]

I'm pretty sure it's because half of the wardens don't even put forth any effort. They just react to problems, rather than foster any...

I dunno. This place is cracked.

Private

[gimmethemap]

I'd like to be able to claim that if I had a more troublesome Inmate I would know better what to do compared to some, but who really knows? I'm sure a lot of people think that.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm ashamed to feel this way, but I know where you're coming from. I didn't have to answer for my mistakes. I felt free.

Private

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

Are you drunk?

Private

[gimmethemap]

No. I'm having a drink. Why?

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

2/2

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

Let's pretend I asked you if you were drunk, and you thought about the question before answering it.

[gimmethemap]

And if I did that my answer would still be 'no'.

1/1

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

[gimmethemap]

Now are you going to answer my question?

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

What was it again?

[gimmethemap]

Why?

[onderhaus.livejournal.com]

Just wondering.

[gimmethemap]

All right.
