FIFTH ENTRY - [Text]

[keepsthemsafe]

[So Shane died minding his own business - but at least - you know, he feels better. He feels on much more even footing and a much more even keel.

This place is not safe, the wardens were right.

That's fine. Go on the offensive. That's just what you do in these circumstances and while he finds himself sorry about that...and that's what hurts the most okay. So it's not just the barge. It's the inmates. It's everyone here.

He's on his own.

That's good. It's better that he's on his own and it's better that nobody gives a shit since these groups, it's like the worst kind of high school except he was popular in high school.

So that's a change but that's fine. It just means that he needs to stock up on weaponry and what does he do best. Survive. Without Lori and Carl to worry about - to care about. This is going to be easier then he thought.

That's fine. That's more then fine. And that is what he tries to reassure himself of when he wakes and faces the barge again.

He's much more lucid then he wants to be, but from what he's been hearing over the network wardens...as far as doing anything about this aren't going to. The system is flawed. That's what batman said and batman is batman. Therefore he's always right.

Time to play stupid.]

So that's death

ok.

How soon does the pain stop and when it stops I would like to do something useful with myself pls.

Can only assume reason that reason I was attacked is because too much free time. firm believer tahts a mistake. Pacin around and shit not helpin anyone.

Once feelin better would like 2 work pls and consider workin'. Am good with hands and food.

[When that's done he settles back and sits - staring at the ceiling. He hates hospitals. That's why he hates his room and walks, until exhausted so he doesn't have to think about it.

Being here and being awake and unable to talk or wanting to eat all he wants to do is sleep. And he can't.

Better to plan. He can plan, get something to use as a weapon - lord knows he has experience with weapons on the fly and if one of these people let him do that then he can get the lay of the land and even IF this is typical prison fare and they do things like lock up the silverware or the tools maybe - just maybe he can get someone who trusts him to let him into their room and from there it's fucking cake.]

One of the earlier shift workers might be able to place you. Lua Klein especially. [He's not going to ask him onto his, because... Ben.]

[keepsthemsafe]

[understandable. Although Shane for his part is planning all sorts of retribution and revenge regarding this attack...but right now and until he has a definite upper hand...play it cool.]

thank u.

What does she look like and how do I get ahold of her?

[lost_humanity]

This really is a pasttime here, isn't it? Well, I suppose when one always come back people will inevitably take advantage of it.

[keepsthemsafe]

Don't know if it's a pasttime.

Not something I care to repeat if you catch my drift.

[That could go either way. He does not know you, so interpret that...as you will.]

take advantage how

[lost_humanity]

Kill whoever they want, whenever they want, for whatever reasons. [Because they come back, right?]

[keepsthemsafe]

I don't know why he killed me. I don't think i was doing anything wrong

[lost_humanity]

It doesn't take much.

You shouldn't worry about jobs until you rest. I definitely know it wasn't the fault of your idle hands.

[And there's a touch of his humanity.]

[keepsthemsafe]

Don't like hospitals.

[He really doesn't] Not safe. None of this is safe

[honeyimhome]

Maybe a part-time cook to start? What sort of handiwork? Mechanical, robotics, building, refurbishing, wire work, surgical, etc.?

[keepsthemsafe]

Plumbing.

Don't laugh pls. Dad was plumber. Also cooked. hard to think of day-to-day civilian jobs

[ichoosefight]

Shouldn't be more than a week. Death sucks twice around here.

[keepsthemsafe]

Hard. Don't like hospitals. Other guy still around?

[ichoosefight]

If you promise to be good I'm sure they'd let you sit it out in your room.

He is. Extenuating circumstances, I think. Are you worried he'll attack you again?

[keepsthemsafe]

Don't want to be in room either.

what extenuating circumstances.

[ichoosefight]

His warden said so, pretty much.

[God you suck, Shane. He likes you and everything, as much as he likes anybody anywhere anyway, and better than some, but you still suck. It takes him forever to read the damn text, and after that only about half of it actually makes any kind of sense to him. He was dead, because he wasn't doing anything, he's in pain, and he wants to work. It's the gist, anyway. It's enough to get him to the infirmary, and at least there he figures he doesn't have to deal with trying to read...whatever it is Shane's typing.

So it'll be a few minutes, but he eventually wanders in, glancing around until he finds the guy and stalks over. He gives a half smile.]

Hey. I'd say you look like shit but I bet you know that already. What the fuck happened?

Re: [spam]

[keepsthemsafe]

[Shane was dozing - and while he looks annoyed for an instant there's also recognition and his lip twitches upward in a smile and...droops. Then he furiously texts]

attacked in hallway. Walking around, guy smashed my teef in. Regular thing?

[spam]

[twooutoften]

[He gives Shane a pointed look when he doesn't respond out loud, but then he sees the furious button pushing and hears the beep that follows. Oh, so it's this again. He pulls a face and digs the gadget out, lips moving slowly while he works it out. At least he's not reading out loud?]

Teef? What the hell's a "teef"?

I dunno, it happens a lot. I mean, we're in a prison, between ports and the assholes here... Least you didn't get mauled to death or anything.

[...that really sucked.]

Re: [spam]

[keepsthemsafe]

[Shane's eyes roll before he opens his - normal jaw - and rasps out]

Guy broke my face after he killed me. On a lot of morphine.

You got mauled?

[spam]

[twooutoften]

...shit. Must've really pissed him off.

[A shrug.]

Yeah. Shit happens. Technically it was a fight.

[He just was hugely under-equipped to fight off a WEREWOLF.]

[warisart]

You will have no reason to believe me, but the incident was no fault of yours, and no specific intention of mine.

I won't seek to continue hostilities, and I accept any retaliation.

Re: [ Several Days Later - Text ]

[keepsthemsafe]

[Great deal of silence on Shane's part. He's feeling better though, so the text is more legible]

...Why?

[ Several Days Later - Text ]

[warisart]

I was angry.

At everyone. Everything.

Because I could.

It wasn't right.

Re: [ Several Days Later - Text ]

[keepsthemsafe]

...you didn't have to kill me.

You want to fight fucking ask and I'll punch you as hard as you want

[ Several Days Later - Text ]

[warisart]

No, I didn't. It wasn't right.

If you see fit. I didn't and don't want to fight.
