Doubt it. Probably the people who would do it just didn't see what you said.

Also possible. Doesn't matter much either way.

Well.

If you were in Zero, I was gonna ask you if you needed anything, but you ain't in Zero.

... That was your first breach, right? The city thing?

Thanks for the thought. [It's a bit resigned at her aggressive helpfulness, honestly.]

Yeah. Hell of a mindfuck, and a waste of a perfectly good chance to get off this tin can and stock up on supplies. [Read weapons, though at least he did get the beautifully sharpened butcher knife his alter ego had always kept on him when he came back... and he might possibly have the damn apron tucked away in a corner of the now singed wardrobe in his cabin.]

We'll have more. Maybe you'll get lucky at one of 'em. Most of the time, they ain't breaches for everybody.

Not gonna hold my breath on any kind of luck but bad here, darlin'. [So far, after all, he's been here not two full months and he's been a battered, frightened eight year old, a god damn mindless toy, and... a completely different man, with a completely different life... that he's not going to let himself think back on, dammit.] Just expect shit and if I don't go stepping in a pile of it one of these days it'll be a pleasant surprise.

That's how I thought about prison at home.

[But she'd been different as an inmate here. Her first terrible flood had blindsided her, because she'd been expecting the Barge to be perfect.]

Yeah, well, it's a pretty reasonable view of most prisons, even the kind where all you hafta worry about is the normal flavors of abuse and violence. Figure this place just ups the ante some.

Just some?

There's a lotta room in 'some'. Can't say as I've ever been in prison and not wanted to get my hands 'round someone's throat and squeeze 'til their eyes popped, but this place sure takes it to a whole new level. [And that's bearing in mind the fact he's never been in a domestic prison. Where they theoretically have to respect your rights and the violence is at least somewhat controlled and clandestine. He'd rather be back in North Korea than this, at least he'd known there was an end there, one way or another, and... physical torture is familiar and expected. Being fucked with the way the Barge does? That is wrecking him in ways nothing else ever has.]

It does that with everything.

[There isn't much on the Barge that's not larger than life, in Tiffany's experience - the lows are worse, and the highs are better. It's jarring, and a little confusing.]

Did it help? Blowing stuff up, or... I don't know what else you did.

[She doesn't know if he killed, or maimed.]

Edited 2016-02-04 02:27 (UTC)

Wasn't about helping. [Though he doesn't bother to say what, if anything, it was about.] And I didn't kill anyone, if that's what you're getting at. Which doesn't mean I'm not just as responsible for those that were injured or killed as anyone involved. [He sees no point in trying to limit his responsibility. You take part in a group action then you're responsible for all the results, foreseen or not, of that action. It's just a fact, and he doesn't sound particularly bothered by it.]

I meant did it help you. And I wasn't gonna ask if you killed anyone.

And I meant it wasn't about helping me. It wasn't about blowing off steam by blowing something to hell.

[He's quiet for a moment, then adds,] You people are really damn blase about murder and dying 'round here.

Yeah. I know. It's 'cause people just come back.

What was it about? Is it okay if I ask that?

You can ask anything you want, kid, that won't make it any of your business or get you an answer.

I know it ain't my business. That's why I asked before asking.

Well I guess you got your answer then.

Guess I do.
