85

I have not felt this good in months. Of course, this means something terrible is likely about to happen. Something to throw me off.

Libby, we need to have another ladies' night again. Can't say I ever had one before that, but it wasn't entirely unenjoyable. So we should do that again. Definitely.

[Private to Security]

My Inmate informs me that a newer Inmate whose name may or may not be Arntzen, who has a fake left hand, has been trying to procure weapons. I don't know if this has already been looked into but I figured it need be mentioned.

Yeah, we should! It's nice to finally have a female friend aboard, you know? I think the overabundance of testosterone in my social circle was starting to get to me.

This time, we'll have to find something to do that isn't calling West an anorexic woman with romantic feelings for his warden.

Security and that.

...he has a fake left hand?

Sorry, that wasn't the point. Weapons. I don't know that name, but I'll look into that, I've got an idea. Otherwise, I'd suggest that everyone with a weapon keeps it as safe as they can, which they're probably doing already. Thanks, anyway.

Isn't that how it always works? You feel so good that nothing can go wrong and then the Barge lands in the Bates Motel.

[gimmethemap]

You're probably right. But we'll find something.

Security and that.

[gimmethemap]

Thanks.

I never said that nothing could go wrong. That would be silly.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

That's the truth. There's no such thing as a normal day here.

Re: Security and that.

I talked to him, and I didn't let on that your inmate told you or anything of that nature. Hopefully not even that we were on to him. He says he's Russian, but I doubt that as well as numerous other things. He seems to lie about everything, as far as I can see.

I would suggest warning wardens against sharing information on anyof their weapons with their inmates. Not all might be as upstanding as yours and report it. I also hope that everyone reading this has the sense to keep their weapons safe.

That depends entirely upon what your definition of "normal" is.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, more work, go home, maybe stop by a bar, eat dinner, go to sleep. I think that's the definition of "normal" for half the barge-minus the bar bit.

[gimmethemap]

Considering all the "weird" happens during what we would call "work", the definition still sort of applies, doesn't it?

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I guess it does. Though really, I don't consider being "redeemed" to be "work". It's just what happens. And nothing weird has happened in my lunch shift yet. Of course, that's just a matter of time.

[gimmethemap]

Well now that you've brought it up, something has to happen.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Isn't that how things work here?

Honestly, I'm fine with anything as long as I remain in the same body I'm in. No de-aging, no gender-swapping, no turning into my warden, nothing like that.

[gimmethemap]

Anything?

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

To an extent.

Now I know that either you or the barge is planning something to catch me off guard.

[gimmethemap]

I am doing no such thing.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Then why do I not believe you?

[gimmethemap]

The untrustworthy are ever mistrustful, as I understand it.

How do I know you're not planning something?

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Hey, what makes me untrustworthy?

And I'm not planning something because I'm a good boy and want to get off this boat? Maybe? In theory?

[gimmethemap]

I'm sure.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Oh, hush.
