Just.

Just an informal head-count.

How many inmates don't like the rooms they've been given?

And how...can wardens move to change it to make the living quarters more habitable? Besides the bathroom....thing. This especially concerns unpaired inmates.

Inquiring minds wish to know. I'm thinking...Extreme Make-Over: Barge edition. And possibly sectioning off a budget for inmates to use to rearrange their rooms how they like it.

Thoughts...?

[And she's serious, suddenly, and wistful.]

I 'ope so, Ned, I really do. 'E needs to be free.

From:

deadly_ned

I know. I really...really know.

I have a free wish. I don't know what to do with it once Alpha graduates. Maybe I can help the marquis.

From:

routemistress

I like a man who counts 'is chickens. And you with at least fifty of 'em to hatch. 'Ow's 'e doing?

From:

deadly_ned

Alpha?

I said something to upset Alpha the other day. I need to go apologize to him at some point this week.

From:

routemistress

...Oh?

[Tell her what it was, Ned.]

From:

deadly_ned

He said I was a wuss who didn't like to emotionally attach to people. Which is true. And I...made the mistake of bringing up Thomas and Alpha doesn't like to be compared to anyone else. He has...issues with being unique. One of kind. His own person.

From:

routemistress

Aye. It's a tricky one. There's been more'n one of me - that's not the same, though, that's natural.

You're not a wuss. You've just 'ad it go wrong too often not to be careful.

From:

deadly_ned

He just needs to not feel pressured to change who he is after he fought so hard for it.

No. I'm a wuss. It's all right.

From:

routemistress

Aye, well, you're our wuss and we'll look after you.

...Same reason I'm not trying to turn Victor into a pacifist, that.

From:

deadly_ned

I'm all in favor of individuality until it's used as an excuse to open people up like redder, wetter Christmas presents.

From:

routemistress

Ooh, you do 'ave a way with words, my darling. No, well, 'e's two hundred years old; I'm not going to break that 'abit overnight.

From:

deadly_ned

I understand being set in one's ways. Change is terrifying.

From:

routemistress

Aye. And I speak as someone that can roll with it better'n most. My point is, as far as 'e can see 'is life were just fine as it was. It's no use me forcing change on 'im just because I think it's right. I need to back 'im into wanting it.

...And keep 'im from disembowelling anyone else. This is why you two need to break out all your venison recipes. I've got to let 'is steam off somehow.

From:

deadly_ned

I can make meat pies. Alpha will like it. And it'll keep.

I'm just not sure the Barge wants to eat it all.

From:

routemistress

No well, let Riddick make venison jerky. We can get through any amount of that, with all the barge dogs and werewolves.

...come to that, I like it meself.

From:

deadly_ned

You enjoy doing this to me.

From:

routemistress

I really, really do. But I do it with love.

From:

deadly_ned

What is it with you people and meat, anyway. Meat's not so great.

From:

routemistress

[Iris narrows her eyes.]

This is not a fight I'm 'aving with you, Ned.

[She had it with the Sixth Doctor once, and that was all the shouting she's up for in this lifetime.]

Get the others to cook it if it bugs you that much.
