[After purchasing a communicator, Dirk has found his way to the computer room, a perfect place for him to start his life here in DW considering he was found guilty of cyber crimes. But he is hunched over the keyboard in a corner, trying to find out some sweet information and get a lay of the land (aka seeing if he can hack THIS system without getting caught). Kind of sucks that there's a time limit. 10 minutes isn't even enough to watch porn.]

I was going to organize a revolt had it not been for the provided manual's subtle cues of disapproval against it.
Darn.
That leaves only plan B, and you know plan B never lives up to the hype of plan A, the main honcho.
The thing is, plan B requires community participation.
Even more so than your standard, run-of-the-mill usurpation.
Maybe.
What I'm asking is, please sign my change.org petition to increase the maximum usage time in the computer room.

And what, exactly, brings you to that conclusion?

I have no intention of allowing the prison administration to view me as "disposable".

Huh.
Does that imply you're trying to be useful to them instead?

"Useful" in this context is not as accurate as "entertaining".

Right.
The performances.
You honestly think you'll do that well, huh.

It's not a question of what I think. What matters is, I do not want to die.

I don't know.
I think your skill kind of matters, too.

You misunderstand. Because I want to live, I will do what it takes to keep myself alive. If I'm not skilled enough, I will develop that skill.

[W-wow. That's the best outlook on life he's ever seen. Gosh. It's almost like in another universe, Dirk tries to get his love interest to do the exact same thing.]

And if others are stronger?

I think you should worry more about yourself.

Fortunately, I have the capacity to worry about myself and be curious about someone else simultaneously.

Then I wonder: do you have what it takes to survive in this prison?

I'm here, aren't I?
I at least have some mangrit necessary to tough it out.

Mangrit? Intriguing...

You interested in my mangrit?

;)

Define the word.

It's more or less determination or having the guts to face something.

And it is specific to only the male gender? Fascinating...

It's slang, so the application is flexible.
I would say no, though.
For example, plenty of women will say "suck my dick."

Ah, yes. I've noticed that slang is often incomprehensible when divorced from its original context. How curious.

Is it that curious?
Language morphs with usage. Subcultures will take words and claim it as their own.

I have not yet performed research on linguistics. Perhaps that should be my next area of study.

Why?
Not exactly what I'd call a skill that's going to help you out around here.

That is not the point.

Then what is the point?
