[ Grace actually got here a while ago. Apart from a brief encounter with one guy by the inmate cells, she's been drifting around, invisible. Watching. Not talking to anyone, just observing. One guy got handcuffed to the cafeteria tables. It very much reinforced her resolve about staying invisible for a little while.

But she hadn't been lazy-- Her first goal was to raid the research library to find some stuff written by people who are way, WAY more experienced than her about this whole situation. She's spent the past few days reading in her room.

Probably now that she's more acclimatized, it'll be an okay time to try to communicate. Safer. Via text. ]

hello

since arriving here i've been trying to read more about what the experts in the field recommend to assist with prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration. a lot of it seems... difficult to implement, at least immediately

but one of the things they discuss is the option of Group Therapy and i was just wondering if there was anything like that already available

it seems like it could be helpful

subtle.

a warden
hello it's nice to meet you :)

extremely.

[rank1]

Nice to meet you too. Hey, can I ask you another question?

[expectaspectre]

yes of course :)

[rank1]

Why the fuck did you take a job you have no idea what to do?

Just asking.

[expectaspectre]

[ Goodness!! Shouting on the internet!! How rude!! ]

the same reason everyone else did, probably

everyone needs something

[He pauses, mostly because he's realized that sentence was almost incomprehensible. Oh well. Big text gets the point across.

Moving on:]

Yeah? So what's your price?

[expectaspectre]

[ How to reply in a way that won't make everyone think she's crazy... ]

the usual
trying to get people to stop trying to kill me

[rank1]

Why do they want you dead?

[expectaspectre]

[ After a LONG pause: ]

i'm not normal

[rank1]

I get it. What makes you different from them?

[expectaspectre]

[ Another LONG pause. One would think this is difficult for her to talk about, or something! ]

it's complicated

[rank1]

Go on, tease your tragic backstory. I'm listening. I've got time! I wanna know what my life's worth to you.

[expectaspectre]

but your life is why you're here

aren't you here to become a better person ? aren't we all ?

it's worth a lot to me :)

[rank1]

I've been who I am for my whole life and it's done me just fine. Why should I change so you can fix your life?

[expectaspectre]

this place isn't about me
or any of the wardens really
you're here to fix YOUR life
if there wasn't anything to change about it you wouldn't be here at all

my job is to help
that's all

What, I don't get to ask questions?

[counterstep]

you can ask questions
but don't be an ASS
she didn't do anything wrong
at least wait for something like that first

[rank1]

If you went to TTTT and got a really bad quesadilla that left you shitting your brains out, and when you went to the counter to talk to the cook, she started asking you how to make quesadillas... you could say she did something wrong.

[counterstep]

this isn't tttt.
and she's your superior.
just watch your tone.

[He wishes this place was a Tag Team Taco Twins... haven't had it in years... and nothing bad ever happens at a Tag Team Taco Twins...]

Careful there. The stick up your ass is an inch from coming out your nose.

[counterstep]

aww
real sweet of you to be concerned
i'm quite comfortable with it where it is though
don't kink shame 🙂

[rank1]

Hey, I've got not problem with things going up asses! It's what we've got a prostate for. This "superiors" thing though, you might wanna check your military fetish.

[counterstep]

so you're fine with anal talk but not with a military kink?
prude

[rank1]

A prude? I'm actually insulted.
