[Warden Filter]
I'm not big on speeches, so I'm going to make this quick.

[Arthur's voice is a frustrated growl right now. He sounds about ready to punch something. Also, he's hanging out by the entrance to Level 0 and keeping his voice somewhat low so Perry can't overhear. This also means that because he's by the entrance, anybody else looking to sneak past him to play with Perry while he's making this post... would have to be invisible and teleport through the door, I guess?]

To those of you having a laugh about Perry's big-screen debut-- [Have some condescension:] and I know some of you are, despite the big W next to your names-- you do realize that he wasn't just "beating up" Rex, right? That part, where he stops moving? He's not unconscious; he's dead. That's a snuff video. It's not a goddamn joke.

I don't give a damn how you feel about Rex. I don't care what he did to you-- and yeah, I was affected along with the rest of you. When you support something like that video, you're not just doing it at his expense. You're doing it at my inmate's. He's not your attack dog; he didn't kill Rex for any one of you, and it's not behavior I want encouraged.

You'd think that'd go without saying, right? I sure as hell thought so. I knew I had to expect some inmates patting him on the back for a major backslide, but I didn't think I'd have to worry about wardens doing it. Wardens sneaking around behind my back to give him positive reinforcement for his actions. Wardens trying to congratulate him. Wardens going against my explicit orders to leave Perry to me. Wardens making it so I've got to keep one eye open for them at all times, when I should be focusing on my goddamn inmate!

Yeah, I know I'm saying "wardens," but what I really mean is Loki, who I've had to chase away three times now. But hell, who knows, there could be more of you who think Perry did a big public service for you.

It takes a lot to turn a man into a calculated murderer. Perry wasn't one before he came here. Now it's my job to push him back to Square One, and I don't need you assholes undermining me and standing in the way.

If I hear about any one of you trying to sneak around to congratulate him, to give him a fucking prize for killing a man, I'll put a bullet in your goddamn head to give you a headache as big as mine. And the only reason I'm not telling your inmates this is I expect you to pass the word if you think your inmate's up to something with him. You know your inmates better than me, so you should be aware of any [Sarcastically:] "budding alliances". Anybody looking to turn my inmate into their personal attack dog better think twice.

Keep a tight leash on your inmates, while I try to do the same with mine. And any unpaired wardens out there might want to try their hands at keeping an eye on Loki, so I can get back to my job already.

[With a disgusted noise, he turns off the communicator.]

[OOC: I WILL NOT GUARANTEE RESPONSES TO THIS. Arthur just wanted to alert the other wardens to 1) Loki undermining him and trying to applaud his inmate's backslide and 2) the possibility that their own inmates will probably try to seek out an alliance with Perry now to take out their own enemies... although that part kinda got lost in his bitchiness :V Anyway, he's not up for playing ~barge politics~ right now, so that's why there may not be responses from him. BUT YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO DISCUSS WITH EACH OTHER, IDC.]

...this really happened? Someone approving of someone else doing the murder? [Sorry, it's a weird turn of phrase, I know.]

And not even bothering to hide it?

[Warden filter minus Loki.]

If you can tell me more about him, I can keep an eye on him.

Let's just say the victim wasn't very popular.

[Same Filter]
Are you familiar with Norse mythology? He's a recent graduate-turned-warden. Not that you can tell.

I gathered that, yes, but you can't possibly endorse... anyway.

[Above filter]

No, I'm not, sorry. I've never heard of it. Is that necessary, I just wanted to be helpful.

Is his old warden still here? Maybe they could help.

That's what I thought, too.

[Filter]
You haven't? [Ohhhh okay, not from Earth as he knows it. Or extremely sheltered...] It's not necessary. Just think "God of Mischief" and everything that comes with that.

Yeah. Armand St. Just.

No, I haven't. I could go and [he sounds far too excited here] look it up, though. I imagine that'd take a while.

I can just keep a look out for him trying to taupe things up with your inmate, though. Or anyone else's, I suppose.

I imagine he might be more help, though, in the long run.

[If this were video, you would see ARTHUR'S EYEBROW ARCH AT THAT EXCITEMENT.] Be my guest.

"Taupe"? [Pause.] Thanks. I appreciate it.

Maybe. I guess we'll know if and when he volunteers.

You're welcome. I'll get right on it.

I'm sure he will. If it's his assigned responsibility, you'd think he'd keep up his obligation, even if it's not entirely official.

Probably. I'd just hate to ask it if he's already been assigned again.

I'm Arthur, by the way.

Eddie. [he doesn't realise there's like... six billion Eddies.] Pleased to meet you, Arthur.

Nice to meet you. [Pause.] Sorry. You're not exactly seeing my best side today.

You didn't raise your voice... [this is quite. terrible. to Eddie.]

He tortured me! I think I have a right to be happy that Rex is dead!

Yeah. I really believe you when you say you'll leave Perry alone now.

I will.

And he took away my morality and nearly destroyed about 90% of the half-decent relationships I have here. We've all been seriously screwed with by him in one way or another.

That doesn't give you right to be happy he's dead, or to encourage an inmate to murder someone.

If he did all that to you, how come you aren't happy he's dead? You seem to have just as much a cause as I do.

Because I am not happy when people die. [unlike some pagans he knows.] Nothing justifies murder, in my view. I don't believe in capital punishment, and I don't like the idea of dancing on people's graves.
