I have no desire to stoop to Daniel's level. Acting out of hurt anger leads to making very poor choices.

Besides, there's very little I could do to him that he isn't already doing to himself. There is a man steeped in fear. His brain is practically marinaded in it.

[ Elias can't help sounding a little pleased about it. ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

I wasn’t saying anything about acting out. I was asking how you were. If there was anything I could do, you pedantic asshole.

Yeah, he’s a little shit who runs whenever he sees me. It’s kind of satisfying.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I have been tortured, stabbed, and killed, Mr. Belmont. I rather believe that asking how I am is entirely redundant.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Okaaaay, so you're feeling like shit. Great. Thanks for establishing that.

Is there something you like to do to help you NOT feel like shit?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

[ the thing is-- there are several things Elias might like. none of which he's willing to ask. ]

Since you're so insistent, I could do with some milk. My cabin doesn't have a fridge.

[atowncalledtreffy]

I can do that. Coming off of dinner shift anyway. Want food with that milk?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Not particularly. But do give Archer my regards if you see him. I hope he's feeling better than he was.

[ he hopes no such thing and is just being a dick :) ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

Archer’s annoying and we aren’t friends. Also I don’t think he’s shown up, much like you.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

What a shame. [ oh look it's an actual smile ]

And I have not been allowed to return to the kitchen Mr. Keppler placed me back on janitorial duty, yes.

[atowncalledtreffy]

A hundred people on this boat and no one wants to help feed themselves. I’m going to give everyone pottage and see how they like it.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'd like to see you do that. Though the only ones you'll be effecting are the inmates and those wardens who haven't gotten around to asking the Admiral for their own kitchen.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Yeah, who the hell has fire that close to where they're sleeping, anyway?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

... is that a serious question?

[ trevor. trevor please. ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

Spoken like someone who's never seen what damage a kitchen fire can set to a house.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm-- well aware of just what a kitchen fire can do.

[ trevor please ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

So why have a kitchen in your cabin? It doesn't make sense.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm equally aware of the precautions one takes to avoid such a fate.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Yeah.

Like not having a fire in your cabin.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

That is one way to avoid it, yes. There are others.

[atowncalledtreffy]

I shudder to think.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Basic fire safety, for one.

[atowncalledtreffy]

'Don't light yourself or your home on fire'.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

You haven't had any deeply traumatic experiences with fire in your life, have you?

[atowncalledtreffy]

Nope. Not a one.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Then where has this concern come from?
