[Private to the Admiral]
I'd like to have Perry included in all of my filters. Thanks.

[Public]
It's good to be back in my own skin again. Sorry to anyone who was confused by Perry's little prank. [WHICH ARTHUR CAN NOW SEE >C]

Speaking of: I'm including my him in my filters from here on out. He won't see anything that you send to me, and he won't be on the Warden Filter, but he'll see my responses. And he might be able to infer things from my own posts and comments.

If you're uncomfortable with that... [He shrugs. ARTHUR GIVES NO FUCKS.] This is your heads up.

[Private to Ariadne AND PERRY LOL]
Sorry. [Because boy is this going to make private flirting a little less private.]

[Private to Perry]
Satisfied?

Do you mind if I ask why? [Because someone is still a little TELL NO ONE ANYTHING and he doesn't want Perry listening in on anything he tells you. :v]

[Private PLUS PERRY SOB this is a bad idea]

[paradoxlol]

An exercise in trust. [Because Arthur got caught lying one too many times :c]

[Private PLUS PERRY Dick is never speaking to you over the network again :c]

[batmanschmatman]

Understood.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

[Her face forever. :|]

Really? [It's bad enough she's seen full-frontal Perry!] That seems... extreme.

[Private+ Perry]

[paradoxlol]

It's only for a while. [He's sure as hell not doing this forever.] And he won't see anything you send to me.

I'm trying to build some trust here.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Well, whatever you think is best. Your inmate comes first.

I suppose we might just have to spend more time in each other's presence, if we want to talk. [She gives a very fake sigh.] What a shame.

[Private + Perry 4evs]

[paradoxlol]

I may be having my doubts.

Oh yeah, how are we going to manage that?

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

In for a penny, in for a pound. I guess you'll have to learn to stop lying so often.

We could start in my cabin, tonight. [She's got her best come-hither smile on.]

[Private]

[paradoxlol]

Do I really lie that much?

I'll be-- [He stops himself. DON'T SAY TOO MUCH, ARTHUR.] That sounds like a plan.

[Private]

[buildindreemz]

Um, yeah?

I'll be here. Waiting for you. [Smiiiiiiirk.]

[Private] SPAM OR ASSUME?

[paradoxlol]

See you soon.

Barron: all the feels. :c

[sharpememory]

Fuck it, I am officially not replying to either of you over the journals again. Perry is a tool and including him in your filters is dumb.

oh Barron :ccc

[paradoxlol]

I'm not looking for approval for this.

[Pause. He feels a touch guilty, though, given Barron's Perry issues.]

You can still send me messages if you need to; he won't be able to read them.

all the feels ;-;

[sharpememory]

Yeah, I can tell.

Whatever. There's no point. You'll probably just ignore them anyway.

[paradoxlol]

I won't ignore them.

[sharpememory]

Uh huh. Look, man. I'm all for transparency, but the moment that you let your serial killer inmate see everything that you say is the moment where you're not being a good warden.

[paradoxlol]

Look, if this backfires, then it's on me. But I'm not going to let anyone get hurt because of this.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, right. Dawsey always ends up hurting people.

[paradoxlol]

Look, I know it's hard to believe, considering what you've been through, but he's not a monster. He's not out to hurt everyone.

[sharpememory]

Whatever. [Most mature response, Barron.]

Private

[hatestriangles]

Like I said, it's a start. [HE STILL DOESN'T TRUST YOU, ARTHUR. But this helps a little.]

Private

[paradoxlol]

Better than nothing. [Arthur is already thinking this is a bad idea. MOST OF HIS CONVERSATIONS ARE PRIVATE.]

Private

[hatestriangles]

Yeah. I guess so. [At the very least, he's enjoying seeing you uncomfortable. :V]

Private

[paradoxlol]

So, what did you think was going to happen when you told everyone you were me?

Private

[hatestriangles]

I don't know, I was just fucking around.

Private

[paradoxlol]

Well, at least no harm came of it. [That's it. NO LECTURE TODAY.]

Private

[hatestriangles]

[Who are you and what have you done with Arthur?] That's it? You're not going to bitch about it?

Private

[paradoxlol]

I would if anyone gave me shit, thinking I was you. But it worked out fine.

Private

[hatestriangles]

[...] Right.

[A longer pause. Then, deliberately casual:] So what did you think? Of what he told you? All the shit in my file?

[unweeping_willow]

Prank? [Forgive her if she's a little distracted; she woke up in Claudia's room - again - and has been going through the "private" conversations Claudia had... on Willow's comm. :|

She hasn't even seen the note on the door about Claudia disappearing yet.]

[paradoxlol]

I wish. [Pause] How're you holding up?

[unweeping_willow]

...You heard?

[paradoxlol]

Yeah. And I know how tough it can be-- losing an inmate, in my case. [He still feels some guilt for FAAAAILING MINDY.] Even if it's only temporary.

[unweeping_willow]

It hurts. [She bites her lip.]

private + perry

[paradoxlol]

Yeah. It does hurt.

Just remember that she'll come back. Whatever took her away, it's not permanent. [Or so he gathered from Tim's post.]

private + perry

[unweeping_willow]

She hates me.

private + perry

[paradoxlol]

What makes you say that?

private + perry

[unweeping_willow]

We switched bodies; and then she went and... ran.
