You've got a fun one this month.

[vaccination]

Fuck.

[dog_eat_dog]

Drinks?? Or you could give me an hour to type this shit out.

[vaccination]

If you like hot chocolate I can bring some over.

[dog_eat_dog]

Sure, works for me. Door is unlocked.

[She needs to drink less anyway.]

[vaccination]

[Ellie gives a knock anyway before stepping in, a thermos in hand. Steve's gotten her addicted to hot chocolate--it's that powdered shit--and she thinks it's better tasting than coffee.]

Hey.

[dog_eat_dog]

Hey.

[Tess waves jauntily from where she is on the couch, fixing up her eyebrows with tweezers and a compact mirror. She pats the couch next to her.]

Your eyes are about to roll out of your head.

[vaccination]

[She sits with a bit of a bounce--hope you were done plucking, Tess. She offers the thermos.]

Lay it on me. I know he's a fucking weirdo, but how much of one?

[dog_eat_dog]

[Almost, you little brat. Tess sets her stuff aside and takes the thermos, cranking off the cap.]

I'll let him tell you all the weird personal crap, but he's in this horrible on-again-off-again love affair with a vampire, who is, by the way, drugging him on the reg.

[vaccination]

[Ellie is used to a lot of weird crap these days, but that...]

What the fuck? Does he need an adult?

[dog_eat_dog]

In my opinion, yes, but good luck convincing him of it. Months ago he was furious. Now he’s resigned to it or something.

[vaccination]

Is it that Steve guy?

[Why is everyone. So weird. Why.]

[dog_eat_dog]

Yeah, the one who cries blood. That was because Pagan broke up with him, but knowing them, they’ll be back together within a week. Lucky you.

[vaccination]

[There's the eyeroll, and Ellie dramatically drops her face into her hands.]

Fuck me. How is the brainwashed assassin-robo-arm guy the best inmate I've had?

[dog_eat_dog]

That guy is fucked up but he’s not soap opera levels of fucked up.

[vaccination]

Yeah, I'll take sci-fi fucked up over [she waves her hands] gross vampire drug soap opera.

[Wasn't that a book? Movie?]

I hate this temp inmate shit.

[dog_eat_dog]

I never had a temp warden but on this end all I hear are complaints too.

[vaccination]

It's just fucking stressful for everyone. And if someone gets a shitty warden, they're not gonna trust the good one they do end up getting.

[dog_eat_dog]

Yup. The more temps they go through, the more damaged they get.

[A scoff. Things haven’t been stellar with Arthur lately, and that’s on her, but...]

I’m glad I went right into a permanent pairing because otherwise I’d go crazy.

[vaccination]

[As a kid that got passed around, she can only agree with Tess.]

Yeah. I planted the seed with B, so hopefully I'll actually be on the road to not having random fuckers every month.

[dog_eat_dog]

Shame you can't just ask the warden to make it a done-deal instead of fucking around playing dress-up and hear all about a bunch of grown men having teenage girl romance problems.

[vaccination]

Instead, I get to play "what try-hard do I get this month" and try not to fling myself into space.

[dog_eat_dog]

Don’t fling yourself into space, just throw the dick in Zero.

[vaccination]

Oh, and become the Zero Warden they all think I am?

[Not that Ellie really cares what anyone thinks!!!]

[dog_eat_dog]

Some inmates might like it, actually. It's a piss-off when wardens act like their authority is just some sort of formality –– you have it, use it, or we'll walk all over you.
