Okay, THAT probably means you're 29. Good to know.

[littletonoidea]

how old are you man

[😇]

[conning]

Traitor.

Including time on the Barge, 39.

[ God he hates how uncomfortable he is admitting that. ]

[cactusy]

[Uuuuuuuuuuugh]

Root is almost as old as you and way older than Eiffel.

["Whatever, maybe I'm the baby but my girlfriend definitely isn't" is how you know she knows she's lost.]

[littletonoidea]

i cant believe our sil is a cradle snatcher

[conning]

A cradle snatcher and that Shaw would try to use the 'I'm definitely mature, I have an old girlfriend' defense.

[cactusy]

Just as a reminder. I hate you both.

Miss Shaw:

Will has just shown up with the corpse of another inmate. He indicated a desire to go down to Zero himself but I thought it best to attend to his wounds; only some bruising and scuffs on the knuckles, please, do not worry for him. I'm happy to assist you in any way I may.

[cactusy]

Can you stick Will in a private room? And which inmate?

[transfundere]

I can.

The inmate was... I believe they go by Avalon.

I was planning on doing so so he did not have to see... what he had brought.

Would you prefer him left alone or should I accompany him until you arrive?

[cactusy]

[AH.]

He's had run-ins with Avalon before. My guess? Self-defense gone too far.

Ask him who he wants there. I'm on my way.

[transfundere]

Certainly. One moment please.

Hey, Will told me what happened with Avalon.

You doing okay?

private;

[cactusy]

I hate everything and everyone.

But sure.

Re: private;

[hippie_ninja]

Yeah it really sucks.

How can I help?

private;

[cactusy]

I don't know that you can. I need a warden for a warden, which is annoying on principle because that shouldn't be a necessity, and I'm trying to figure out how to find one without setting off the whole ship like I usually do when I hit the warden filter.

-- You wanna proof-read something for me?

Re: private;

[hippie_ninja]

[He starts to ask who needs wardening but she breaks away with that question]

Yeah, of course.

private;

[cactusy]

Okay.

Who here is friends with and sympathetic to Malcolm Bright, but still willing to call him on his crap without coddling him? I need help, and I need someone he might actually listen to. Looky-loos who just want to rag on the guy need not apply, you are definitely just going to make the problem worse. Thanks.

Re: private;

[hippie_ninja]

Oh. [Hoboy.]

I'm friends with him and I recently called him out, if I count? But I think...with him you might need more than one person to talk to him. Maybe not together, not ganging up on him, but he might need to hear whatever it is from more than one perspective.

private;

[cactusy]

Sounds like a solid plan to me; the more the merrier. Is that, uh-- is the language okay? Nothing that's going to get people riled up? I got another guy I'm asking, but I'll take more than one perspective, too.

Re: private;

[hippie_ninja]

I think anytime Malcolm's involved people will get riled up. But I don't think you've written anything they can use against him to make it worse.

private;

[cactusy]

People get riled up about me, too; I suck at diplomacy.

Re: private;

[hippie_ninja]

Given the situation I think you were as diplomatic as you need to be.

What's Malcolm doing that needs curbing?

private;

[cactusy]

Big picture? He says he doesn't want to be objective about Graham because it's not his job to do that, it's his job to just be a boyfriend, which-- okay, I don't agree, but whatever. I could deal with that just fine if he'd recuse himself from any warden-inmate related stuff, but he won't; the dude wants to be completely unobjective and completely involved in everything Will. It's a nasty combination, especially since his official position is that Will is perfect and can do no wrong and nothing is ever his fault. He's also impressionable and traumatized, and Graham is manipulative and traumatized, and the two of them are disturbingly codependent, so there's... that.

This specific incident, Graham killed somebody; I know you know how that went down. It wasn't unprovoked, but it was overkill by a mile. Graham knows this. He's concerned about it, or at least he says he is. He doesn't want it to happen again, he wants to develop other strategies for people being dangerous and threatening around him. But trying to have even just the start of a productive conversation about it involved Bright in the room, jumping in to repeatedly insist that Graham did nothing wrong and encouraging him not to think critically about his reactions and his options. This is after he got the full story, and after Graham repeatedly made it clear that he was disturbed by what happened and wanted to prevent it from happening again. Bright knows that Graham beat someone to death, and his first impulse was anger and resentment towards his warden for not patting him on the back and saying "You did good".
