[Spam – Backdated to 8/29-9/5]
[The cell was spartan in its trappings, the whole room nothing but cold metal and hard surfaces. It was small, too, hardly large enough to pace from one end to the other, and offered a distinct lack of privacy due to the row of bars separating Beatrix from the rest of the cellblock. It was tedious, cramped, awkward, but on the whole, tolerable. Worse things could have happened, she knew that well. In terms of punishment, a week of solitude below decks was a remarkably light one for a murder.
Murder. When Sarah had described the killing that way Beatrix had bristled a little at the use of the word (as she saw it, killing Cato had been the natural reaction to his attack) but didn't protest it. Slight inaccuracy aside, murder was what she did.
She supposed she should feel some guilt for that.
The guilt didn't come, however. Instead, B only felt a mixture of mundane emotions: exhaustion from the flood, annoyance at her captivity, and a quiet, hidden satisfaction at a job well done.
Zero, she thought, was not having quite the intended effect on her.]
[Video – current]
Guess who's a free woman.
[At this point, there's little else to say. A fairly empty smile crosses B's face before she turns the feed off.]
[OOC: Joint post for Zero and for the Pants on Fire flood!]

Date: 2012-10-11 10:45 am (UTC)[He considers her comment on inmates.] Didn't they just barely get a shrink on staff like a month ago? Seems like a big hole in their roster to me.
[He refills his glass...halfway. He's a little reckless but not actively stupid.] The only way to deal with an Empire is to be both really agile and really connected.
I go for an Astra .44 CTG. It's a Spanish piece, tough as hell, pretty much problem free as long as you are used to the recoil. Bad news is that Astra went out business in the eighties, so I probably can't replace it when I get out of here.

Date: 2012-10-13 05:54 am (UTC)Yeah, I think. Have you seen that guy, though? He looks like a creepy yuppie and talks like an asshole, he probably doesn't get too many takers.
And we're both. [She raises her nearly-drained glass for a toast.]
Nice. Astra made a pretty sweet little gun. There's always some collector who'll know where to get one, but if you ever want to try anything different I recommend Star. They're Spanish too, I shoot their Firestar.

Date: 2012-10-14 12:39 am (UTC)[He laughs.] Goddamn. I wonder how this shit would do in mixers?
Yeah, I noticed. He looks like someone replaced his heart with a computer chip. But the only other shrink I know of on board is Hannibal Fucking Lecter.
[He considers her, then takes out his communicator and writes a note to himself.] Star. OK, I'll look them up. Seems like Spaniards make some damn good firearms.

Date: 2012-10-14 05:39 am (UTC)What're you going to mix it with? That tacky oversweetened premixed stuff? [But it's worth pondering over another small sip.] Soda might be all right.
[The ale is definitely beginning to take hold and B laughs, hand to her eyes.] Jesus. How do they expect anyone to get better in this place?

Date: 2012-10-15 01:13 am (UTC)[He rubs his chin.] I dunno. I think I'll see what the bartenders here have come up with, but I'm no good with the premixed shit. Besides, fruit is cheap as hell in Mexico compared to the States.
Maybe something citrussy. Though I'm not down with oranges right now. [God damn it.]
[He laughs and tops off their glasses.] I don't know. There's a lot about this place I don't get. But I do know this. My brother is sick, and he's starting to get better from being here and getting some treatment. Me, I'm not sick. I've done some shit that I regret, so I don't know what all this shit is supposed to do for me. But...
I don't know.

Date: 2012-10-16 03:11 am (UTC)There's always grapefruit. You know, the most underrated fruit that's named after another one. [ – yeah that ale is definitely starting to take hold. She probably ought to refuse the refill, but what's the worst that could happen?] I... Honestly, I have no idea what the Admiral expects. Not out of people like us anyway.

Date: 2012-10-16 05:15 pm (UTC)[He sits back, folding his arms as he stares slightly blearily off into space.] Well, I don't mind looking after people. In fact sometimes me and Hoffman end up looking after each other. I guess what it boils down to is whether I buy into this stuff or not. And I'm still on the fence.
Richie...he's...look, you can probably detect bullshit at fifty yards, so I'll be honest. He's sick. Sometimes it has made him do things. It's different from someone who's just made choices that were destructive or got somebody killed or what the hell ever. It's more...complicated. I can hope we get out around the same time, but I gotta give him the time he needs.
Hoffman's offered to let me look at my file whenever I need. I have skimmed it some. Some of the stuff in there I can actually agree with, and some seems like bullshit.
