I don't care what he is, he still went into someone else's cabin without permission. How he did it doesn't matter as much as that he did it.

[monsterstoyou]

Right. So. Where are you going with this?

[cactusy]

Don't you want to know what your inmate's up to so you can handle it? I thought that was the whole reason you reached out in the first place.

[monsterstoyou]

[ A very flat look. ]

Yes [ He says it slowly. ] Which is why I am asking questions. What response were you expecting, exactly?

[cactusy]

Something other than "Why are you telling me this?" You're the guy's warden, dude. I'm keeping you up to date. That's where I'm going with this.

[monsterstoyou]

Which is why I didn't say: why are you telling me this? [ Annoyed. ] I said 'where are you going with this?' as in 'is there more? do you have further specific issues? are there specific requests you have' because I am his warden.

If you're going to read between the lines, do it properly.

'Your guy's breaking into rooms' is my specific issue. 'Take it seriously' is my specific request.

[monsterstoyou]

A point of order: he has appeared in one room. And unless the system has changed at any point, he shouldn't be able to do so unless the door was open or he is on Simon's room filter. Simon also didn't kill him at that point, so it is only a contributing factor, not the primary one. Nor has he mentioned from what you've said that Sider has done so again. Or that Sider harmed him, took anything, or otherwise damaged him or his property.

[ A hand raised. ]

Sider's personal boundary issues are something I take seriously. And have already taken steps to address and will continue to do so.

But considering that Simon is the one who killed someone in this instance, and that I found them in a hallway, nowhere near his room, giving no indication that there has been a repeat performance, I'm a little curious that this is the sticking point you have about the situation when Simon, again, violently murdered my inmate, something you've yet to indicate that you take seriously.

[cactusy]

That's because you like talking more than you like doing. Trust me, I'm used to it; it's common as hell with the wardens here.

Simon's only my inmate for-- I'm guessing half a day, at most. If he tries to kill anyone else before then, he's gonna have to go through me, because he's not leaving my sight. After that, all I can do is write about this in his ledger - the ledger that plenty of wardens have told me they don't bother to read - and let his next temp know. Oh, and keep an eye on what he's doing when I see him in public, but even that gets me lectured sometimes.

But you're Sider's permanent warden, which means you've got more leverage and more resources, and where there's smoke, there's fire. "He's probably only done this crappy thing once, and someone else did something even worse" sucks as an argument. If you're dealing with his boundary issues, good, 'cause they need to be dealt with.

[monsterstoyou]

[ He's listening, but it's obvious at a few points that he's made certain decisions about her and her opinions. Mostly that they're based on her own conjecture and not on anything he's said or done. ]

Right. Well, you've proven yourself delusional twice now and that's my limit. Thank you for the assurances that someone is looking out for Simon. Good day, Warden Shaw. And good luck with your surveillance.

[cactusy]

Please, there's way better evidence of me being delusional than this.

[monsterstoyou]

Excellent! So you're aware of your tendency to make things up to suit your narrative. Glad to know.

Again, good day.

[cactusy]

See ya.

[Why does the Barge attract the most pompous, style-over-substance dickbags? It's enough to make an emotionally stunted, socially inept jarhead wish she could cry.]

[monsterstoyou]

[ Probably the same reason it attracts lunk-headed assholes who think 'talking' isn't action, who don't realize that after all their violence is done, things will be worked out with words, especially here where death isn't an actual solution.

Vincent allows her the last word. It's not as if anything he said mattered to her anyway. She'd had her opinion on him cemented well before he tried to work with her and now he knows the futility of such things. ]
