I knew you cared.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

I'm not bloody talking to mate. Get out of my sight before I kill you.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Hey, pal, you've gotta come out of your room to kill me.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Whaddya want?

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Tell 'em what a great warden I am. Have I ever put you in Level Zero?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

You are an embarrassment to all the other wardens. I am ashamed to call you mine which is probably why I had bloody announce it to these yobbos!

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I don't remember you ever posting.

Well, that's floods for you.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was kinda on purpose. Sort of a 'keep your head down' deal. Made sense.

and this is nanomite!howie. :D

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Or people will just forget you exist.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

[Slater will likely not notice.] It's easier to do that if you're not gonna talk to them, innit? Let's 'ope that'll do that once this is over.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Hiding away doesn't last forever.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

You're sendin' mixed messages here, Howie.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Not really. I'm just saying it's not worth hiding away anyway.

So nice to talk to you again, Roy.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Right.

and he backpedals a bit.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Sorry, bad mood.

How're you anyway?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you know. Ok. Annoyed. You? I mean you gotta right to your bad mood.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I guess I do. Better than I was, though.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Good.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Aye, aye, it is. I appreciate you asking.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

...Least I could do, mate. Least I can do.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Talking of least someone could do.

Is your warden really as useless as he looks?

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Eh, it's lucky I haven't gone and died on 'im. Also my file's sorta on the floor here. [Well, ok, he tidied it up eventually, but yeah.]

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

So why... why do you put up with it?

Or why don't you make him look like more of an idiot.

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

[Why does he put up with it? That's a good question.] Because... he's just a kid, ain't he? Like normal. I mean, I got to deal with a lotta prats and dipsticks so, you know, I guess I know how to handle him. I mean, it's better than bein' saddled with Doctor Who, ya know?

And you're asking the impossible there, Howie, how do you suppose I make him look more like an idiot?

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

But you shouldn't have to handle him.

Make him look like a useless one. Act like a real inmate and watch him do nothing.

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Mate, I'm not a 'real inmate'. You know what I'm here for? Bein' mean. I smuggled some diamonds, made criminals life a misery, whether they did the crime I said or not. That is all that's in 'ere.

Killing people ain't my thing.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

They all count for something. It'd make you a real criminal.

I'm not saying kill people. I'm just saying do something to make him question his own usefulness. Or make everyone else question that as well as his intelligence.

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

'Cept for the part where I've already done my time, mate.

Listen, I don't hafta do anything. Best thing to do is let him make his own mistakes.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone would object if you hastened his demise, that's all.

By which I mean, getting rid of him, not killing him.

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

It's gonna take more than 'embarrassment' to get rid of 'im. I don't know if you noticed, but he's gotta high threshold.

If you wanna break 'im, then I need information about him. Real info, not that he's a prat or any of that sex mess, that's all a front. I gotta know a bloke before I do anything.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

You talk to him more than anything else.

I can see what I can get you, though.

Re: private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Ok, good, thank you.

[strangehistorian]

Welcome to the Barge, Roy!

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

I've been 'ere for months, ya nit.

[strangehistorian]

It sounded like an introduction...

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and you never wondered how I managed to get a warden immediately on arrival?

[strangehistorian]

I am sure it has happened.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Well, you'd be wrong, love.

[strangehistorian]

Hm, alright.

Well, in any case, it's nice to make your acquaintance, Roy. My name is Chromie, let me know if you need anything!

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Ok, then.

[acid_rayne]

My condolences.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks.

[collector]

Still, it's nice to see you around, Mr. Slater. [In other words, it had to happen eventually.]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Ain't it just. [No, no it didn't. Sulk.]
