[He has Harvey in the Infirmary, and he's sitting by the bed. Not smoking because apparently that's bad for the lungs, or something, and he's in an infirmary with injured people...]

Harvey and Two-Face are in custody. He's going on cabin arrest soon as he's patched up.

Tell you the truth, I think he'd like a little eye for an eye, so if you have a grudge and you don't mind spinning on the merry-go-round with him, I'm not going to step in if you decide to get some 'justice'.

But don't do it anywhere near his cabin.

If anyone knows what the hell happened, fill me in.

[OOC: For those who do respond with wanting to kill Harvey, the Motorcycle Boy will explain what's really going on and that he's actually doing this as a way to build some stability for Harvey to be out instead of Two-Face...but without Two-Face knowing it.

Also, if you try to come to the cabin, Motorcycle Boy is there and watching you and you will also get that explanation in private.]

Stationary, if I gotta write you an essay, warden.

[ SO DRY ]

I know. It's why I've got a bottleneck set up while everyone's most dangerous. He's in his cabin, so people come trying to get at him, I'll know. They wouldn't even try if he was in Zero since they'd need one of us to bring them down.

I get to those people and explain...the smart ones back off, the idiots can be watched out for. I'll have faces instead of having to watch out for every person on board. It's not foolproof but it narrows it down from a hundred to maybe five. Did this before back home.

I'll be back.

[Art room!

He comes back with several bright, bright lemon-yellow sheets of paper, and a couple of pens.]

You chose lemon yellow for a reason?

[Private]

That's a fucked-up thing for a warden to do.

Works for me.

Yeah but what about after the lockdown's over? This is a ship full of people that are the best at what they do, and sometimes that's harmless and misguided, and sometimes that involves killing the shit out of people, and they ain't gonna come where it's most obvious.

The smart ones, you're not even gonna get the chance to talk to.

It was the first one on the table.

[And he's fully expecting more disbelief:]

And I can't see colors. I'd go get you another one but it'd probably be worse.

Colorblind and deaf. You got the genetic lotto, didn't you?

I couldn't stop them even without an endorsement. This way if the worst happens, I can ask who did it and I'll get an answer easier than I would've otherwise.

You want to take him on?

[Harvey is pretty fucking dangerous. :| ]

[He grins, politely] You don't know the half of it. Least I didn't catch the Old Man's drinking, I guess.

Yeah.

Yeah, I want to take him on.

He's a cowardly piece of shit and it should have been me.

It fucking should have been me.

Yeah, and if the worst happens and it's Harvey that gets his ass killed, you'll have proven to him that you just stood back and let it happen. Invited them to, even.

At least.

[ Harv didn't either. Caught his rage instead. But he take his items and gestures. ]

Ready for my escort.

[ Luckily they're on the same floor as his room. ]

Why? What did you do?

how long will you having him on house arrest?

It's my fault. He said he was going to get me and he fucking got me. This fucking prick.

If they go after Harvey, it'll be really obvious that I'm not standing back.

It's this or give up on any kind of natural stability. Shitty choice but this is the better bet.

Don't know yet. What are you planning to do?

just want a nice chat with him.

Why was he after you?

[He'd been a little confused why he'd gone after Cassel, but it seems even worse to go after Chris this way. It's personal when you go after loved ones; he could have understood a simple fight, one on one.]

[Bond is a Warden. But. That doesn't mean much.]

You know what split personalities are?

[He's glad Harvey's legs aren't broken. It'd be hard to be look-out with a wheelchair to worry about. (The concept of healing, of what Merlin and the others do, hasn't really occurred to him yet; it's so foreign.)

He takes him to the room, where the fish are swimming, and for a second he's just about hypnotized by them.]

Which one of you asked for the smokes?

Because he called me things and I fucking lost my temper and he said this...horrible, fucking awful shit to me and I should have fucking told someone and I fucking didn't and he wanted...he wanted to show me...that I'm nothing.

of course.
