[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.]

I'll ask Cassel first. If he wants me to kill him, I'm coming over to kill him.

[halftheman]

Doubt it.

[ He laid his papers on the table, pen too, and then loosened his tie. His clothes were blood spattered and soaked; it was time to get changed. ]

Gonna clean up, Warden. Still got a sink, after all.

[Private]

[velocette]

Eye for an eye. [And he doesn't mean in the 'makes the whole world blind' way.]

But I'm going to try to get Two-Face out, when you do. Harvey won't hit back, but he's innocent, so it seems fair you get to go for the guy to blame.

[Private - Later]

[mistconduct]

Cassel says for me not to kill him. Don't fucking know why, but there it is.

[velocette]

[He nods, and settles himself on the floor with the fishtanks lined against the wall in front of him.

He'll just...be busy watching dem fishies. For a long time. Pretty much until the fighting starts.]

[Private - Later]

[velocette]

[Well, now he's curious about Cassel besides just the professional obligation to investigate what happened.]

Yeah. Kind of wish we had more like him, back home.

What are you going to do? To get satisfaction?

[Private - Later]

[mistconduct]

It's not fucking up to me anymore. I don't deserve satisfaction. I just need to shut up and do what he tells me.

[Private - Later]

[velocette]

I need you to tell me why Two-Face even wanted to hurt you guys.

[text/private]

[routemistress]

Not Creed's, no, that was just one of those things.

Hurting Chris and Cassel though, grrrr.

argh.

...okay. you are doing your job. please don't let him hurt my young ones again though, seriously.

[deadliestviper]

[That's her son's inmate, goddammit. A kid, and one she's sure is fairly harmless. She won't likely go after Dent herself and she's learned firsthand the perils of offering to kill in public, but that doesn't mean she can't simmer with anger.]

I'd like to cast a vote for throwing him overboard.

[Private - Later]

[mistconduct]

I pissed him off. We were just....talking, shooting the shit, and I fucked up. I said I wanted to graduate and be a warden and he just fucking...went off on me.

I mean, he's right. It's bullshit. I'm not going to warden, I can't even fucking keep my best friend safe.

[Private - Later]

[velocette]

Well, wardening definitely doesn't mean keeping people safe. You do what you can but it's not what the job's about.

[Private - Later]

[mistconduct]

It doesn't matter anymore.

[Private - Later]

[velocette]

Okay. If he tries to talk to you again let me know.

[Private - Later]

[mistconduct]

Fine.

[text/private]

[velocette]

Going to try. It's kind of like yanking up a tree by the roots though.

[Harvey has a lot of issues. A lot.]

[velocette]

You're an inmate right?

[deadliestviper]

What gave it away?

Private;

[velocette]

Inmates have us beat for being rational about this.

Re: [text/private]

[routemistress]

I'm not as much help as I'd like to be. He was already on my shitlist and now this? I want him out of my universe.

I'll regain my detachment in time. I'm built for that better than humans. But not today.

Private;

[deadliestviper]

That's because wardens don't give out punishments.

[private]

[fridgetothefire]

Do you think that's going to fix anything?

[There's no clear emotional valence to the question. It's not an accusation, but it's not particularly hopeful, either. It's just what it is, plain and incisive, actually curious about his answer.]

Private;

[velocette]

They all seem to stick to a script.

Have you ever been to Zero?

Private;

[deadliestviper]

Yes.

It was nice and relaxing.

[private]

[velocette]

I think it'll take him at least as long to put himself together as it did for him to break apart.

[Which is a little evasive, sure, but he's only sharing the real plan with people who express violent intent.]
