audio | interview with probably not a vampire

[omniavincit]

[ William jumps right in—unless they're brand new, most inmates should know his voice. It belongs to the guy who stays with them in the dorms and is usually out of bed before six in the morning. Maybe you recently heard it raised at Travis outside the commissary! ]

I spoke to the Navarch, and while it's almost unheard of for her to correspond with inmates, she's agreed to take questions on your behalf. I'll be sitting down with her and broadcasting the interview to the network.

For privacy and ease of organization [ and to minimize network arguments ] please message me directly with whatever you'd like asked. It can be anything, but I'd prefer it be interesting. If I have a problem with it I'll let you know.

[ This is not a threat, but it is wry. ]


[ WARDEN FILTER ]

We should pool our tickets.



[ ooc: TO AVOID A MILLION INBOX THREADS, just reply here with "private" in the subject line if you're sending William a question! Or ignore him and discuss shit publicly, I'm not the police. ]

don't they have files on us don't they? or are they dragging us here without knowing our full stories?

[Oh, Bucky. Don't ask a question you don't want to know the answer to.]

most days, yes

[counterstep]

your guess is as good as mine since i don't even get to see my own
and i don't get to see any of yours unless i'm partnered but all of you seem more dead set on keeping that a mystery for everyone involved except for the higher ups

( and joke's on you; he never asks questions he doesn't want answers to. )

with or without the wound?
cause people can still function with bullets in their brain, as long as the brain heals up the wound

[sanctus_dei]

so fucking what? you're a warden. you're not being detained for crimes. you're free to quit. you're doing this as a job. they came to you and offered you this. whatever they have in your file isn't being held against you. it's not remotely the same!

if i was walking around here with a bullet in my skull still, i'd probably not give a shit about anything. sounds fucking great.

[counterstep]

for someone wanting to know what's in his file, you're sure hung up about other people's files
none of that changes how wardens don't have access to any inmate files until fully partnered
you're pushing a moot point unless you're willing to partner with someone who might tell you

for all you know, you could be
so what are you really getting at?

[sanctus_dei]

Why? that's a stupid fucking rule. you're working to reform people you know nothing about and could be lying to you at every turn. i guess it's your problem, i've stopped caring now. better that you don't know shit about us anyway.

and i should only be so lucky. unfortunately for you all, i'm just this big of an asshole normally

[counterstep]

project if you'd like, but you're the one complaining, not me
that makes it your problem
you complaining to me about how the rules are stupid doesn't get the rules changed either
if you're gonna take your anger out on someone, at least try to make it the right person or you just look clueless

wow if this is the worst you've got, then we really are lucky

[sanctus_dei]

oh fuck off. if you want me at my worst it's not going to be over text on a communicator.

[counterstep]

what a surprise that you can't control yourself well enough to not lose to your baser instincts of violence

[grindset]

Stop.

> private

[counterstep]

i get why you're trying to step in
but you're really not helping

he doesn't need to be coddled
anyone who thinks he can't take it is doing the exact thing he hates
let him fight his own battles

private;

[grindset]

I understand what you're doing. This is not an appropriate medium for it.

[counterstep]

are you an online bullying specialist?

( it's a genuine question. )

[grindset]

[It still takes him a second to parse online in this context—he decides it's an irrelevant tangent, anyway.]

At least give him the respect of standing in the same room.
He should see your face.

[counterstep]

yeah would have if i could have

i appreciate the concern, but you really don't know the context here

[grindset]

Is your CommLink glued to your hand?
Your feet to the floor?

[counterstep]

he has his own reasons for avoiding me right now
i'm not going to corner someone who doesn't want to be cornered

[grindset]

[After studying the reply he has typed out, he holds his thumb down on the delete key and then replaces it with,]

Fair enough.

hope you know how to use a knife since i'll be lending you one

> private

[sanctus_dei]

[Oh shit. Oh fuck.]

if you think a necromancer doesn't know their way around a knife you'd be sorely fucking mistaken

fine

[counterstep]

good

[dealwiththe]

You can make another choice, Theo.

[sanctus_dei]

And chicken out?! fuck no. he started this and we'll finish it

[dealwiththe]

[ HEAVY SIGH. ]

Then I hope you're ready for the consequences of your decision.

[ Whatever those are. If James knows what he's about, he'll give Theo a couple of bruises and hustle him to the infirmary after. Lucifer certainly wishes James had consulted him about it, but he doesn't object to a bit of arse-kicking when necessary.
