I'm doing it right now.

[golden_eyes]

You are. It's part of the reason I feel qualified to offer my advice.

[tucky]

I'll always take any advice you got.

[golden_eyes]

Well my other qualification is being generally amazing.

[tucky]

Still gonna mention it in all those warden meetings.

... How would you feel if you were a warden in a place like this and a bunch of people started blowing stuff up?

[golden_eyes]

Be careful not to get too swept up in a list of my virtues, I'm sure some sort of time limit is necessary so none of the inmates can figure out you're meeting.

In a place like this? It wouldn't really bother me. The inmates are powerless and many of them are angry. Destruction and death aren't enjoyable but they're impermanent, here, and they allow for some venting. It might bring to light some problems that I wasn't aware of.

[tucky]

I'm not not bothered, but I still kinda feel the same way you do. And I feel kinda guilty about that, 'cause I really don't want the people I care about to get hurt at all.

[golden_eyes]

You might think of it as two separate matters. As a warden, you aren't bothered. As a friend, you wish that people you care about hadn't gotten hurt.

[tucky]

But it's hard thinking of it like that. I ain't two separate people. You ain't wrong, it just... it feels weird.

[golden_eyes]

Yes, I doubt anyone would suggest you aren't personally invested in your work here. Which makes the compartmentalizing difficult.

[tucky]

I blame the Admiral more than anyone. I'm not saying Alfie and them ain't responsible; it's their fault. But it wouldn't've happened at all if it weren't for the Admiral. It's their fault and it's his, too.

[golden_eyes]

He does has the ultimate responsibility, as the being who who brought us all here. But I agree that any declaration of diminished responsibility probably wouldn't go over well with the perpetrators.

[tucky]

I ain't just saying it 'cause it wouldn't go over well, I'm saying it 'cause I believe it.

[golden_eyes]

I know. I can't really imagine why someone would think otherwise. But I find the thought of how such a claim would go over to be amusing.

[tucky]

[She cracks up.]

Fucking... going down to Zero and telling 'em it's okay, 'cause they didn't know what they were doing. It was all an accident.

... There's probably people that think I I think that.

[golden_eyes]

...I would do that. Possibly while also offering healing hugs and pamphlets on anger management.

[tucky]

You would get fucking murdered.

[golden_eyes]

True. Still would be totally worth it. I might live long enough to suggest we sing songs together to build community feeling.

[tucky]

I like hugs better.

[golden_eyes]

Hugs are always preferable. But likely dangerous when combined with a high enough concentration of condescension.

[tucky]

I don't hug people for that reason, anyway.

[golden_eyes]

You think people will see them as condescension?

[tucky]

Not the people I hug.

[golden_eyes]

I'm sure all of them appreciate your hugs in the spirit they're given in. My friends tend not to be huge huggers.

[tucky]

Mine aren't all like that either.

[But she loves it when they are.]
