DAY CHANGE

[avibusraris]

Wakey wakey, inmates.

[ She's a little more awake than she was the last time she did the morning announcements, but she's making one of those morning stretch groans for a couple of seconds. ]

It's 7:01AM on January 8th. The weather seems to be clearing up today, but I was watching the news last night and it said it was supposed to pour in the evening. I don't think you guys can have umbrellas since you can sharpen them into shivs, so wear a hoodie if you go outside later. I put them 65% off.

Oh- say bye, Celie.

[ There's a small chirp, as from some kind of bird, then the announcement goes off. ]

What's a shiv?

[deeplove]

There are dictionaries in the library.

[birdinhand]

Give me a break. You're worried about shivs in a prison like this?

[deeplove]

If the doctors are busy with that kind of stuff, you don't want to get injured when you don't have to.

[birdinhand]

That doctor we saw yesterday seemed to enjoy being busy.

[deeplove]

So you want to support that?

[birdinhand]

Those idiots made their own choice. It has nothing to do with me.

[deeplove]

Not that, I don't care what you think of that. I meant you'd go out and get a cold on purpose so the doctor could have fun?

[combatbutler]

...I wasn't thinking of that.

Sounds like a thing that would happen in an anime.

[deeplove]

Umbrella shivs? Maybe. I know one prison had to ban Christmas trees for the same reason though.

[combatbutler]

Ban Christmas trees?

That's a little excessive, don't you think?

...though I guess branches are sharp?

[deeplove]

The decorations.

[combatbutler]

Oh...

I was thinking the trees, but yeah I guess you can shatter them and throw them at people?

[deeplove]

Both could do damage. Or break one and sharpen it.

[yokubo]

60% off? That's really nice of you, President-san! Thanks!

[deeplove]

65%. You're welcome.

[yokubo]

Wow! That's even better!

[deeplove]

It's what I said the first time. You're a bad listener.

[yokubo]

I guess I got too excited.

[deeplove]

Do you get excited a lot?

[yokubo]

All the time!

[deeplove]

I can tell.

[shallnotharm]

That's very generous of you. Is that a bird?

[deeplove]

It's a bird, yes.

[shallnotharm]

May I ask what kind of bird Celie is?

[deeplove]

Celie is a yellow rumped warbler.

[shallnotharm]

Ah...how pretty.

[deeplove]

Are you into bird watching?

[shallnotharm]

I'm not but I'm rather fond of animals in general.

[deeplove]

I'll probably let Celie go later.

[shallnotharm]

That's probably for the best.

[404eyesnotfound]

Oh hey, hoodies are nice. Not bad, not bad.

[ The first cool thing coming from prison management, really. She just got a job so she can afford it and she will happily go buy one now. ]

[deeplove]

You're welcome.
