91 - Jailhouse Blues [Voice]

Congratulations. You won. Here's to an eternity of the status quo.

[After a pause]

Billy... Please tell me you're alright.

[AND IN THE BACKGROUND YOU CAN HEAR RAYNE SHOUTING THE FOLLOWING]

JESUSFUCKINGCHRISTMONKEYBALLS! SOMEONE BETTER BE LETTING ME OUT OF HERE OR-

[OOC: Major McCrazyface is in Level 0 now with a bandaged, possibly broken hand, a STILL stitched up leg, and a frown :c I'm pretty sure Inmates can't initiate private filters, hence his having to ask about Billy in public. ANYWAY. Visit him if you'd like; just spam it in this post]

You said this was a message for all Wardens. Anything the Inmates do en masse? Affects all the Wardens, West, whether we're-- what was you said? "Part of the problem" or not.

Unfortunate casualties. This isn't war, West. You aren't home. These aren't your soldiers, and some of them would sooner kill us all than work things out. And you gave them weapons. You gave them power, and this was the result! The Wardens are going to trust you all less now because they've already seen how out of control you get.

You made it worse.

Perhaps, by strengthening the divide between Warden and Inmate, the rest will finally see reason and act the next time the situation escalates.

You think that I've made things worse, but I've proven that we're capable of setting aside our differences and organising ourselves, acting as a unit, and that's MORE than any of you have done.

Or maybe you could've used your position with the other Inmates to decrease the divide. Been their voice, talked to a Warden you trusted who could have resolved this without any of this having to happen.

So what was your plan? If none of us had agreed, you had all those hostages. Your human shields. What was your plan to keep everyone under control? Or if simply taking the human hostages wasn't enough? What then?

It's so canon for West to only think out half of his plan :C

We also had the food. We were planning to starve you out, if you didn't agree.

I KNOW. :C See this is what he needs Jim for. Jim would punch him.

And what about the hostages?

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't going to starve them. Once they were with me, I was true to my word that none of them would be harmed further.

And you had enough control on your men that you could have guaranteed they wouldn't have? While you starved out the rest of us, including the Wardens who weren't "part of the problem?"

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
They listened to me. Billy and I were the best armed, anyway.

And maybe then the others would have listened to those Wardens who purported to care.

[identity profile] capn-jack-h.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. They listened to you. So Sam and Prefect weren't accidents? I mean, if they listened to you that must've been something you ordered.

While they were half-crazed and starved, you mean? Great mindset to rationalize with people in. And I'm guessing you figured that would've starved me, too.

Fine, would you like me to admit that a part of me really wanted this all to fall apart so we could all just cause a great big bloody mess and feel like we were finally doing something more than sit around and defer to Warden authority? Even if it's futile, even if it was horrible and violent, at least we DID SOMETHING.

Then it's true. Part of me wanted to see this place go up in flames.

[identity profile] capn-jack-h.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
What would you gain from that?

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. My own destruction.

[identity profile] capn-jack-h.livejournal.com 2009-06-30 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would you want that?

[There's a long ass pause, and he doesn't sound so AWESOMELY CONFIDENT OR STABLE anymore]

I don't know.

[And now he's refusing to answer on the comm/journal/whatev LOLOL]
