#6 backdated to monday the 1st

[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.

Oh my god, you're actually deranged. I feel sorry for whatever model or whatever from your planet you replicated and carry around like she's real that is fucked up dude. Like, serial killer levels of weird.

And yeah I am going to talk to a warden because I am not gonna have that thing watching me while I sleep.

Can people stop brining up the knocking out thing? It was one time and it’s getting really annoying.

Every day it’s like “oooh Rhys, you knocked out your warden that one time! The worst thing ever!” I get it, okay?

What are you talking about? I did do something about it! What do you think that whole week in solitary was? Or my stuff getting taken? You're the one who isn't owning shit! You've got a lifesize doll to show for that.

[ Weird as it is, it's something that's making him happy, clearly. It's a reward. What did Rhys get? Balls shirts.]

And yeah, I can be a coward. Sometimes being a coward is the smart decision. Because brains are a thing I actually have, unlike you.

I'm not gonna work off your mistakes dude. Who's bright idea was it to attack Waver, huh? And then challenge Lucifer on top of that? But no, I get stuck holding the bag!

You're lucky I didn't help Waver out, that was my bad call. But next time, give me a heads up to prepare my ass before you totally screw me!

You're the one who didn't take shit seriously. "It's all about the fight" or whatever! If I had known you were just gonna do donuts in the grass fields I would have backed out because I'm an actually sane person!

Apologies for the interruption, gentlemen, but

SHUT THE FUCK UP

Before I put you both in time out.

Thanks.

[This is the first time Viktor's voice has ever shown up on the network. His inaugural message:]

OK, you hate each other. We get it. Everyone gets it. Even the horse you're beating gets it. He was listening to this argument, and it was so stupid he died from it.

No one is going to time out, [which he says like he hates it, because he does,] if you settle down. So settle down, both of you.

What, so this is how you treat your friends?

Oh, are you friends now? Good. Then you can stop this pissing contest and compose yourselves.

I'll lay off when I get an apology from you. Ideally in writing.

Fine, stay in your lanes, write letters to each other, whatever makes you happy. As long as this nonsense ends. You're both clever, capable men—consider acting like it.

[YES, he doesn't say—]

Travis, you are hearing it that way because you're angry. Go cool off.
