37 - Ethan is a creepy lover

[stayandgloat]

Mr Bartlet--

Ah...

Josiah! My good friend!

...Hmm.

[There's about a thirty minute pause as Ethan wanders off to vie for attention.]

Hello! Warden! Guess what I did today? Let me phrase it as so: something which was previously incapable of it is now able to feel pain!

[Jed will find some FABULOUS DECORATION (aka. occult symbols) scratched

this is why we cannot have nice things

[Jed is a little wary.]

Ethan, I don't think that making things feel pain is a constructive use of your time--

[Oh, oh, he's seen the door. And is a little bit freaked out.]

...what did you do to my door?

We have nice things! Like talismans! And magic wands!

[stayandgloat]

[Ethan, on the other hand? Is elated!]

My good man, the concept of constructive is completely subjective towards what one is attempting to construct!

[And you noticed the door! If Ethan was happy before he's positively thrilled now!]

Well, inanimate objects don't just attain sentience on their own! You need to... inspire them somehow. I'm good at that.

[nobelprez]

I mean that I don't think it's necessarily constructive to your rehabilitation.

[He cannot understand why Ethan seems so happy...and chooses to ignore the second statement because it's just creepy.]

These are candle stubs...you burned candles outside my door too?

Ethan...were you trying to break into my room by burning the door down?

[He's actually really hoping that is the case, even though he knows Ethan's background in the occult.]

[stayandgloat]

My dear friend, if I decided I wanted to be in your room then we would be having this conversation in person right now, but... I think we'll save that one for another time maybe.

[Pause]

How are your clothes fitting?
