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.

"Mmmm," April said with heavy sarcasm. "Egg with bits o' carpet. My fave."

//Assuming, of course, that they're actually serving egg?//

It was a bit of a long shot, wasn't it?

"Ugh, you're right," April realized. "God, it might be that disgusting fruit thing again."

Jono gave April a look. The sort of look that suggested that, so long as he'd been down here, he couldn't remember anything that looked remotely like fruit.

//They must hide the 'fruit' part under all of th'sludge?//

"You probably wouldn't remember it," April said. "It was black."

But decidedly fruit-tasting! She remembered because of all the horror.

//... What kind of fruit is...? No. No, I don't think I actually want to know.//

It would be all for the best if maybe he just never found out.

"Blackberries," she pointed out. "But that's not what it was. It tasted closer to banana."

HORRIFYING.

//Banana isn't supposed to...// Jonothon shook his head, lifting a hand to rub at one temple. //I'm almost thankful that I have no insides, right now. I think I'd be feeling decidedly ill, just thinking about it.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[hatesallthis.livejournal.com]

"Wait, no insides at all?" April checked, suddenly distracted. "Dude. Do you even pee?"

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

//... What would I even...// Oh, brother. Jono was moving that hand from the temple to the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes as his brows knit. //I don't eat. I don't drink. Having a piss would be a bit of a challenge, keeping that in mind, wouldn't you think?//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

"Point," April conceded. "Huh. Well. Total time-saver, I guess."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

//It's proven to be surprisingly convenient since finding myself stuck in here, I'll grant.//

It hadn't gotten him out of here, mind. And hadn't saved any one of the number of people who had been killed down here over the years. But, hey. No pissing. That was... something.

Go figure, he slips out of his self-imposed catatonia just so that he could talk bodily functions.

"But you can do other things," April said, tilting her head curiously at him, "yeah?"

This was purely detached curiosity, here.

The lack of a beating heart was pretty much all that was saving Jonothon from blushing, here.

//Well, yes.//

... Funny how the lack of a beating heart didn't impede him in that particular area, mind.

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[hatesallthis.livejournal.com]

"Weird," April concluded, then added, "But convenient."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

//That about sums it up, yes.//

Except it didn't do a thing for how frustrating the last few years had been, being a hideous untouchable freak surrounded by hot girls, and all.

"Too bad this place is... this place," April commented. Seemingly out of nowhere. "Kind of limits opportunities."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

Jonothon's eyebrow twitched upward a little at that, yes.

//You have a bit of a gift for understatement, luv.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[hatesallthis.livejournal.com]

April had to grin at that. "Yeah, obviously." Well, whatever. "I'm just saying. The fire's hot." Pause. "Which could be a terrible euphemism, except no."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

//Except no,// Jono echoed, torn somewhere between bemused and intrigued. //But if we ever get out of here, I'll have to keep that in mind.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

April shot him a thumbs-up. "Hooray," she said. "Planning."

If there was one thing she'd never thought she'd miss when she got tossed in here it was planning things. For srs.

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/27]

[bloodyspitfire.livejournal.com]

//Hooray, planning,// Jonothon echoed, still looking a bit on the baffled side.

This was not the sort of planning that he generally did.

//Freedom, first. And then I suppose we'll see.//
