My inmate must have known she was leaving, because she left a note under my door. It said "Enjoy your book ( Read more... )

HAVE HER EX-INMATES'S TWIN thatlibbychick July 24 2009, 01:23:59 UTC

Donna...it's not your fault. There's no pattern to when or why people leave here. It just happens.

She left you a note; she clearly hasn't been sent to some horrible place against her will. Maybe she's someplace better. Maybe you helped her just enough.

You did your best. That's all anyone can ask of you.

Re: HAVE HER EX-INMATES'S TWIN runaway_donna July 24 2009, 01:34:21 UTC

Maybe. She did seem to think she was supposed to end up somewhere else.

I don't think I could have helped her that much. She made a point of reminding me she was entirely unrepentant last I talked to her.

...But she wasn't actively trying to kill anyone, so who knows!

thatlibbychick July 24 2009, 01:48:14 UTC

Just keep hoping that she's where she's supposed to be, then. That's the most anyone can do.

And you're right: she stopped pretending to be me. She stopped going around, hurting people, and maybe that was enough.

I 'spose you're right.

I still feel like shit, though.

You haven't done anything wrong. People just... leave here, sometimes.

runaway_donna July 24 2009, 01:45:16 UTC

But it's more than just sometimes, it's completely at random! It doesn't make any sense!

bythe_books July 24 2009, 02:08:58 UTC

I know, that's the problem with this place. I mean... one of many.

But... random or not, it isn't your fault. It says nothing about you as a Warden or as a person, just like it wouldn't in the real world.

runaway_donna July 24 2009, 02:40:23 UTC

I guess not. It's just... difficult when Earth Logic doesn't even pretend to apply. You know what I mean? I'd even be happy with Space Logic, if the Admiral would ever bother to explain himself.

You probably are just rubbish. Sorry.

runaway_donna July 24 2009, 01:49:04 UTC

Wh-what? How did you hack my Warden filter?!

soundof_drums July 24 2009, 02:03:41 UTC

You could say I have a real talent for such things. I mean, everybody has one, after all.

What's yours?

runaway_donna July 24 2009, 02:07:45 UTC

Wiping the smirks off of pretty-boy know-it-all faces. Would you care for a demonstration?

And anyway, why would you go to all that trouble to insult me? Haven't you got anything better to do?

Or are you worried you'll be assigned to me next?

Don't worry. Things like that happen. Heck, I've had three inmates leave me here. You think I don't wonder about what I did wrong? But you can't just stay in the past. You've got to pick up the pieces and head towards the future.

But yeah, the Admiral is completely bonkers. Just look at those floods.

runaway_donna July 26 2009, 01:42:25 UTC

Yeah, I suppose the Admiral's never been a shining beacon of sanity or anything.

I don't want to stay in the past. I'd... I think I'd like to try again. I just feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing most of the time.

exploringdaniel July 26 2009, 05:13:53 UTC

That's good. And don't worry, that's how most of us feel here.
