[The video feed clicks on to an extreme closeup of Travis. He looks happy. It’s that raw, primal kind of happy, teeth bared, and the close-up cuts the usual glare from his sunglasses down to nothing. No matter what else happens, he has this. He talks with a sly glee:]

A new inmate rolled in today. You all better be real nice to her, because she’s a special lady.

[Travis leans forward with the commlink abruptly, setting it down in portrait mode. There’s someone just off-frame as the camera jostles clumsily through the set-up, a sliver of her visible on the edge of his lap, her posture lifeless. Jesus Christ, is this a hostage video? When he sits back, there’s a woman in his lap.]

I’d like you all to meet Sylvia!

[“Sylvia” is in her mid-twenties, and she is so petite that his hand on her ribs engulfs much of her waistline. Her figure is thin like a 90s model, her face is Eurasian, and her hair is styled in the kind of pigtails one rarely sees on adult women outside of porn. She might as well be torn from one, given the way she’s dressed: a completely sheer blouse over a black micro bikini, thigh high stockings and a miniskirt that doesn’t cover her matching panties.

She’s also made entirely of foam.

Thank you, commissary.

Travis’s grin only gets wider. He speaks with something like seriousness, even holding this waifish doll on his lap:]

Now, my wife here isn’t used to slumming it, so you all gotta be patient. When she’s a bitch about it, just give her what she wants and she’ll lay off.

[He leans forward to pick up the comm link again, bringing the camera in close to his face once more. One of Sylvia’s stringy blonde pigtails catches on the frame of his sunglasses. He doesn’t notice. He’s joking:]

Seriously. She’ll get you by the short and curlies if you don’t.

I'm fairly sure I should be worried that you felt the need to share this with everyone. If you start doing voices for her, I'm heading in the opposite direction.

[Nope, nothing is breaking this mood.]

You're in luck, I can't do a French accent to save my fucking life.

[Alex is glad Travis is in a good mood. Truly. It's weird, but oh well.]

Small mercies then.

[saklas]

Travis, who is that based on? Who is that? Does she know you did this? Is she at least getting royalties?

text | travistouchdowncrownlessking | every time i see it, i beam with pride

1. My wife
2. My wife
3. No
4. Fuck no, don't give her ideas, she'll take me for everything I've got.

[saklas]

People own their own images! ...I think.

[He has no idea. Also, they're dead and in jail.]

Anyway, great, that clears up every question. I completely comprehend this situation now and I've reached the stage of grief where the dog stops trying to escape the box even with the door open, which is acceptance.

text, sort of not really, perhaps to return

[nineteenfortyfive]

[She begins to type.

...

Deletes.

...

Types.

It's just her fingers swiping across the keyboard, she doesn't know what to say. Should she say anything? What in the ever living fuck.

Deletes.

Let her sleep on this, she'll (maybe) reply in the morning.]

[Enjoy seeing her at the breakfast service, Claire. Travis will be there, having a great time.]

There's probably a name for this sort of delusion, but i'll be damned if i know what it is

text | un: travistouchdowncrownlessking

[rank1]

It’s called Being Funny As Fuck-osis and it’s terminal.

[sanctus_dei]

Okay but are you actually joking though because you seem reeeeaaal into it.

[ Oh my god, he is going back to bed. He is going back to bed and never looking at the commlink again, just like he wanted to do in the first place.

After he makes some snide remarks. ]

Not sure she'll make for good conversation. Couldn't do better for yourself?

text; un: travistouchdowncrownlessking

[rank1]

Couldn’t do better? Buddy. I get out of here and the real deal is going to be waiting for me with a beer in one hand and some fancy lace number on that tight little bod. You tell me how I’m doing.

[reek]

[ He does not believe that. You have made it very difficult to believe, Travis. ]

You're in here for an undetermined amount of time, for one.

[smugreport]

travistouchdowncrownlessking

[rank1]

Everything, apparently.

[smugreport]

Your font size is stuck on like 36pt might wanna fix that

Anyways yeah no kidding? Are you seriously showing your creepy sex doll off to the network like it's a real person?




Wait are you gonna be keeping this thing in the dorms?

How old are you?

[And then, tacked on belatedly:]

Genuine question

text | travistouchdowncrownlessking

[rank1]

34. Why?

[spanning]

You reminded me of someone.

[Will Denji be like this in 17 or 18 years? It's a little too easy to imagine.]
