[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.]

[ Later... Harvey awakes in pain. Theres's a low animal sound eyes moving; one opens, the other just jerks back and forth grotesquely in its socket. Not a good day for him. ]

[velocette]

[He's reading (How Are We to Live?) and doesn't immediately stop. He gets probably a good four or five pages more, actually, before he leans forward, elbows on his knees.]

Hey. Harvey? [Or Two-Face? Probably Harvey. He can't imagine the more selfish personality would be willing to lay there helpless and in pain.]

[halftheman]

[ No. Two-Face is deep. Harvey is surface, soaking up the pain his double got him. ]

Nggh. Well, look who showed up.

[velocette]

What happened before Ivy got to you?

[So much for letting the patient rest. But he needs details while they're sort of fresh, before any medications are really on board, and before Two-Face has a chance to concoct any misdirection if he feels the need.]

[surfaceshine]

What the actual hell?

[velocette]

Trying to figure that out.

[surfaceshine]

No, you.

Inviting people to grudge-match your inmate?

[velocette]

[He smiles crookedly] Don't think they need an invitation to keep the madness going. Maybe the smart ones will realize there's no point.

Do you know Two-Face?

[Some time after getting his communicator back from Ivy]

[mistconduct]

[Private]

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


Works for me.

[Private]

[velocette]

You want to take him on?

[Harvey is pretty fucking dangerous. :| ]

[Private]

[mistconduct]

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.

[Private]

[velocette]

Why? What did you do?

[Private text]

[lastrat]

how long will you having him on house arrest?

[Private text]

[velocette]

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

[Private text]

[lastrat]

just want a nice chat with him.

[velocette]

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

You know what split personalities are?

[routemistress]

I am so fucking grateful to Creed and Ivy both right now.

[text]

[velocette]

Creed?

[text]

[routemistress]

yeah he's why I wouldn't make it down there to punch Dent. deathtolling.

[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.

[velocette]

You're an inmate right?

[deadliestviper]

What gave it away?

[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]

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.]

[private]

[fridgetothefire]

[She purses her lips at the non-answer. She hates being dismissed.]

You know it's not just going to be murder, right? Everyone here knows it's meaningless. It's going to be torture, and it's going to be bad.

But then again, I've been tortured a few times, and at least once I got some important lessons out of it.

I don't like doing anything without a sense of the long-term consequences. But I really, really want him to suffer. So...you know him, presumably. Do you think it's going to fix anything?

[She couldn't touch Dent on her own. But if she tells Pietro, he hurt my brother - and Cassel is that now, at least as much as he is - she knows he'd do anything she asked. Dent would be tied down before he could blink, and Anya could take all day.]
