I'm messing up with my inmate and I don't know how to fix it.


[Locked to Alpha]

You, um.


Are you...busy?

Yer a tyrant, Ned.

[deadly_ned]

I'm sorry. Is that too soft? I can be harder. I can insist on pies over cake.

[with_my_teacup]

It's pretty soft. Because you ain't an arbitrary asshole and you like to feed people. That's okay. That's you.

[deadly_ned]

I feel like being an arbitrary asshole would just set him back further. But the niceness doesn't seem to be working as well as I'd hoped.

[with_my_teacup]

It probably would. I'm guessing. I don't interact with him much, I don't like him.

Niceness is incidental. It's you working while you're nice. Showing him strong and nice, strong and honest. Because kindness looks a lot like weakness, until you push.

[deadly_ned]

So. Aggressively nice. Kill him with kindness.

[with_my_teacup]

Don't kill him. Just maim him a little.

[deadly_ned]

Maim him. Hah. I'll, um. I'll work on that. Thanks, Riddick.

[with_my_teacup]

With kindness.

If it helps, I'm a creepy asshole too and I understand how strong you are, and I listen to you.

Hope you like the tea.

[deadly_ned]

I do. I will. I mean.


Thank you.

It'll work out. I hope.
