This place as a sweet gymnasium. Club quality, no jokes. It's nice to be able to work at it without some tight-shirted douche trying to talk you into a package deal.

So I know security's out, as far as jobs go. Is more help needed in the kitchen? I mean, I seriously don't know how many people it takes to make sandwiches, but I'm happy to lend a hand if it'll give me something to do.

Also, somebody told me there's a self-defense class held here somewhere. I wanted to know who's been running that.

Does it matter?

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

I guess not.

What's it like for you here?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Better than death?

Better than it was before, though my warden is absolutely intolerable at times.

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

Mine's a bitter schoolteacher. I have yet to see one worse.

But for the sake of comparison, who's your Warden?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

The Marquis.

Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade if you want to be quite specific.

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

The guy from history who popularized torture porn and paid hookers to fart on him?

That guy's a Warden?

A long, long pause

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Of course he is a warden. A reformed warden, but a warden just the same.

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

Crazy. So what's he like?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Imagine you have been assigned to work in a large farm with no breaks and no entertainment. Now, imagine that you go about your daily routine and occasionally, a snake will rear his head and bite you in the leg. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes he hits only your boot and you are safe. Either way, it is annoying because the farmer has given you that snake to keep you from stepping over the line.

The Marquis is that snake. And not just any snake...something filled with poison.

Vengeance from Aboooove

My dear Iago, I would so hate for you to be proven a liar. So here:

A bite.

There are shovels in the broom closet.

The deck is to be cleared of snow before you have your dinner tonight.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

No. I have done nothing wrong. He asked and I answered.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And you slandered me. I put you to work, I keep you occupied, and I correct you when you behave criminally or disrespectfully, just as I am doing now. You would have people think that I lash out at you in violence, and it is not so.

Tell me, have I ever spoken dishonestly about you?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

How could I know that? I do not read your private conversations. Or even public conversations that are not addressed to me.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Well you might try.

I don't speak dishonestly of you because it would prove to be no example for you to follow, and because I would have no one take false impressions of you.

I care not what you say of me so long as it is truthful, and you will certainly not imply that you'd committed yourself to a virtuous life here before I ever chose to correct you. It does no justice to the progress you've made here.

You will not disrespect me or yourself in such a manner again. Am I perfectly clear?

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Marquis. Perfectly clear.

Private - Threadjacking, hooooooo!

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

I'll help you.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

I should think you owe me the help. But yes.

Re: Private

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

When should I meet you on deck?

Last night I--- I apologize, Iago. I spoke out of turn.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

You did.

Fifteen minutes. Why waste time?

Private - Likewise threadjacking

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

Need a hand?

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

If you are really willing to help, then yes. The more hands I have, the faster it will get done.

Private

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

We did stuff like this to kill time at home. No worries.

Private

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Judas will be there, as well. Fifteen minutes.

[twoton21.livejournal.com]

Oh snap.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Form your own conclusions.
