[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.]

A scraped knee? [An incredulous laugh.] We've worked with a load of wankers before, but I didn't quite expect it here. Any ideas for what to do? [A pause.] We can always take our methods into our own hands.. I expect they might have something to say about that, however.
I'm a bit tempted to kill them both for the experience, given that it's only temporary and no one else seems to care much for punishing it.
[Private]
[He laughs shortly.] Yeah, me neither. Somehow, I thought wardens were going to be upstanding people. Then again, you're one. [ARTHUR KIIIIIDS]
Somehow, I don't think that will teach Perry to respect the sanctity of life. [Scoff.] At this rate, I'm just trying to establish boundaries. Women, children, the disabled. He's 2 for 3 right now.
[Private]
Well, I am a forger. What are the excuses for the rest of the lot? [Banterbanter.]
Dare I ask which two? [Pauuuuse.] Crane's quite afraid of death himself, but apparently has very little qualms in giving it out. It's the kind of behavior I'd expect from a murderer, not a corrupt doctor.
[Private]
[Hmmmmm hm hm.] Extreme incompetence?
I'm counting Rex in the 'disabled' category, and he hit me a couple times when I was a kid, so that's the two.
[Pausing as he thinks on what Eames said about Crane.] Do you think the Barge has made him worse?
[Private]
[That gets a laugh.] Not unlike normal then.
[A pause for acknowledgment of seriousness, then:] I'm a bit surprised you didn't hit him back. You weren't quite the child I was expecting.
[Hrm.] I'm not entirely certain. He seems more aware of his responsibilities and I believe he's been instilled with a sense of guilt or regret that wasn't present before, but only related to appeasing me, not to the deeds themselves.. and I think it's obvious that it isn't enough.
[Private]
Believe it or not, I knew a losing battle when I saw one. [Pause.] But I did shove him. That got me a second hit. Anyway, [amused:] you were about what I expected. You owe me a bottle of whiskey, Mr. Eames.
It's a start, at least. Better than he was when you first met him, right?
[Private]
Even at that age? My, you are a stick in the mud. Still, I'll be happy to oblige you with a bottle when all this is settled.
That's difficult to say. I believe he's better, but when he does things like this?.. Well, he's not quite what I had realized.
