[Retroactively Warden Filtered]

This-- this? Is a bloody disgrace. I can't believe I'm even--

Alright.

Look.

I get that this is some... some kinda topsy turvy Willy Wonka world where nothing makes sense, but this is just absurd, even for "the Barge". Our genders should NOT have a negative impact on our ability to warden properly and

I agree with Miss Sato. I've done nothing of the sort, am caring for my ward this very moment in fact, and once I was well accustomed to myself and began reading the back entries on my reader, I found that many of us were simply distressed, or perhaps even unaffected by the situation.

[bythe_books]

I'm talking about us as a group. ACCOUNTABILITY. Just because we're not all behaving this way, it doesn't mean it should be swept under the rug! I mean, we should be a unit, not islands going about and minding our own business.

[a_bit_put_upon]

In all honesty, when I tried to help the lot of yougiven my previous observations of responsible rallying here, these reactions to such a silly situation are quite human, very predictable, and hardly worth getting so terribly upset over, unless someone comes to harm. Would you rather people continued killing each other?

[bythe_books]

No, I'd rather wardens started behaving as wardens. Don't act like the only options are this nonsense and mass murder. And--

...

Hang on.

Are you-- you're-- no...

[fireworkbubbles]

Ya know, I've had many things done to me in my life. I've even met a couple alternate versions of myself - the cyborg was freaky - but this is the first time I've switched genders. And men walk weird. How do you do this? Ugh. But I think for all that most of us are handling it okay. Maybe it's because I don't have an inmate yet?

[bythe_books]

You-- a... a cyborg? Really?

It's not that the majority are behaving inappropriately... I just don't think this behaviour should be tolerated from any of us, by any of us. It makes the entire group look bad.

[fireworkbubbles]

Yeppers. One alternate version of me. Forget what her name was. Began with an 'A'. But it was me, all cyborged. [a pause] That was right before I got arrested in Tokyo... Anyway! I know Kurt's acting over the top, but that's just him. I dunno the others, so I figured this was kinda normal for them. I mean, the other day when that dude came on board, they all freaked too.

I just guessed this was a normal reaction to anything but the status quo. Some peeps just can't handle weirdness.

[bythe_books]

Alternate... this is too much. Anyway, it was mostly the ones soliciting sex and telling the inmates that, as wardens, they expect them to go off and shag that I had a real problem with.

And yeah, I think I missed some backstory there with the old man in the chair.

[gotgirlballs]

Okay. Drop by the Infirmary and I'll give ya some Midol.

[bythe_books]

Very funny. Who're you, then?

[gotgirlballs]

Dr. Mahoney. And you're the token chick-on-the-rag.

[bythe_books]

I'm not "on the rag," you idiot.

Status: Female, no more surprised than usual.

Discomfort: Minimal.

Private

[bythe_books]

This sort of thing happens a lot here?

Well, that's... good.

Private

[buywithme]

This exact thing has happened to both of us at least once before. Last time you looked different though.

...

Sometimes I wonder if you're actually a different person to-- well, to the you who's been here before.

Private

[bythe_books]

So do I

I think... life here's complicated enough without throwing twins into the mix.

[whatweoncewere]

Do people always react to these kinds of situations like this?

[bythe_books]

Dunno. I'm sort of new here, myself.

[whatweoncewere]

So you're... Are you Sam Tyler?

[bythe_books]

Yeah. Who're you?
