Detention, Depths of the Castle, Friday

[bigdamnprisoner.livejournal.com]

So, one of the important things to realize about detention was that the monotony of everyone's daily lives was part of the punishment. That meant that even though someone had died yesterday, the day's schedule didn't change a bit.

After all, most of your little lives just weren't that important in the grand scheme of things.

<<No, you can say whatever nonsense to me you like. It's all part of a good show,> Jack thought easily. <<Although I might start laughing if we try to keep this up much longer. And -- I'll do my best to spread the word.>>

Aloud, he said, in a bored voice, "Oh, don't say that name as if you knew the first thing about him. Besides, I've nothing to prove to you on the point of bravery anyhow."

*I'm glad you can laugh,* Karla sent, shaking her head slightly. *I'm still going to feel horrible about it. But you've got the important bit, so I'm going to swan off and insult other people horribly in the name of saving everyone.*

Her hand brushed his in a motion that was meant to seem casual. Really, though, she just needed the human contact.

"Fine," she said a heartbeat later, standing up and brushing off her pants like sitting near him had contaminated them somehow. "If that's how you want to play it, then fine. And when you wake up covered in innocent blood, remember this conversation. I would have saved you if I could."

"Fine. I'll wait in hell for you," Jack told her, and it didn't matter that he was fairly certain neither of them believed in that kind of hell -- he was going for effect, not accuracy.

His thought, in a considerably more human tone, was: <<I understand. Thank you.>>
