[whattheytellyou]

[Public]I have a question to pose to the rest of you. This isn’t a condemnation of anyone aboard; I’m not judging the choices anyone has made. Or will make. It’s a product of my own curiosity, getting the better of me once again. This is particularly directed to the wardens, but I do welcome the inmates to weigh in, as well

I listened to this a few times, but I'm bloody thick as of late. So, I'm probably missing most of the point.

I'm an inmate. Not sure why, really. But it beats being where I was, and maybe some good will come of it. Maybe not. I'm not a bad person. Not saying I'm a muggle saint or the best person that ever lived, but I'm not the mass murdering nutter my world thinks I am. I'd like to think if I learn something here, it matters. It counts. It isn't brushed under a carpet because I'm - gasp - an inmate.

About relationships - I'm not one to ask about those in any world. I don't know much about Wardens and their deals, although I'm learning. I suppose, if love and all that matters to someone, why live in a box while you're waiting for your deal? Life is a series of moments. It isn't a beginning and an ending.

Again, I'm only an inmate, and I've only ever had flings. But I think it's about filling those moments. If you find someone whose company you enjoy, why analyse it to death?

[whattheytellyou]

You may think you're missing the point, but this is one of the more coherent, on-topic replies I've received.

Let me ask you this: All analysis of the relationship itself aside, would you engage yourself - ah, have a fling - with someone who was a mass-murdering nutter, as you put it?

[sirius_is_a_dog]

Where I come from, the mass murdering nutters are Death Eaters, and I rather gut myself with a rusty spoon.

Is this a someone who is still actively mass murdering or someone who is no longer mass murdering?

[whattheytellyou]

Either or.

What is a Death Eater, if you don't mind me asking? I've never heard that term before.

Thinking about Hoffman? Even after you saw the things he did?

Sick bitch.

Private

[whattheytellyou]

Thinking about the Marquis, actually. And Paddy. And Parker. And Snape, Loki, and so on. The graduated inmates.

And you.

I want to know what your life would be like if you stayed here after graduation.

And I want to know why people invest themselves in relationships here. I just...don't see the point.

Re: Private

[creatingalegacy]

I'd never stay here. I'd choose to stay dead.

They do it because they're weak.

Private

[whattheytellyou]

You're calling them weak, but you're the one wanting to stay dead.

Sounds like quitting to me.

gdi work mademe miss this :|

[peektuttut]

I don't see a problem in any relationship that's mutually beneficial. Obviously I'm biased on this, but...I guess focusing on the future and maybes while we have to deal with the present doesn't seem too worthwhile.

[whattheytellyou]

What about the other questions? Regarding inmates and how they're viewed after graduation and whether you'd engage in a relationship with one?

[peektuttut]

I don't see what the point in differentiating is. They've graduated. If they stay, they're our colleagues. [He is half lying. Because he does that. :\]

[Private]

If Shego graduated, it wouldn't change anything. [Despite his wanting her to go to Gotham with him, but hey, lying. It's awesome.]

Private

[whattheytellyou]

I didn't realize you and Shego -

Well, you're probably the best one to answer my questions, then.

Would it matter to you what Shego had done?

[timesbureaucrat]

Hypothetically? Their status as a graduated inmate is irrelevant. If a person proved themselves trustworthy, I'd accept them. Quite honestly, there are certain inmates whom I currently trust more than certain wardens.

[Private]

When I first entered into my...relationship...[so uncomfortable talking about this]...I didn't expect it to last more than two months. I'd never expected to be in one, and for a while I tried not to feel anything or...want anything...but events just...happened... [He can't make himself continue, so he coughs and switches tack.]

The point is that I have someone I trust implicitly to watch my back, someone to help stop me from doing things I'd regret later, and...companionship. Someone who makes me happy. Why would I not hold onto it when I can for as long as I can?

Private

[whattheytellyou]

Kay said something along the same lines.

Private

[timesbureaucrat]

Yes...well... [awkward clearing of throat at one of the worst kept open secrets on the ship]

Questions irrelevant. JA307020 would cease to exist entirely in current form at or before moment of graduation.

Re: Private, text.

[whattheytellyou]

Why is that?
