General Notice

[impure_tale]

Admiral, Iago's bed and books are to be removed from his chambers. A simple straw mattress will suffice.

Monsieur Sofer, if you are still experiencing shortages in the kitchen, feel free to add my Inmate to any shifts he does not already attend, and I want him on nightly cleanup. If he misses a shift, he is not to be fed.

My Inmate is not to be found anywhere within the vicinity of either the Master, or Judas Iscariot, without my prior sanction.

No! I can't work the kitchens, Marquis. I...can't.

And you can't do this to me.

You foolish, sick, twisted old man. I will see you dead. Mark my words, Marquis.

As I said to Judas, Iago: Your actions and inactions have consequences, and you will accept them.

You abuse my trust and act like a prisoner? I will treat you as a prisoner.

If you want your belongings and your privileges returned to you, then you will earn them. You have three years of misdeeds along with your recent altercations to make up for, so you'd best get to work.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not going. I won't do it.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Then you will not eat or see Judas again.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

Fine. Do what you need to do. You have taken everything away from me anyway.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Then I will come to see him.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I will enforce that to the best of my ability. Tis the right thing to do.

I wish to speak with you, but my mind is not clear enough right now. soon, though, sir, if you would.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

appreciated, sir.

[laws-of-nature.livejournal.com]

You intend to starve your Inmate into obedience?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I am not making it impossible for him to be fed. Like everyone here, if he wishes to take his meals he will earn his keep.

Quit while you're ahead, dumpling. I invented that game.

[laws-of-nature.livejournal.com]

You're terribly presumptuous if you thought I was in any way disapproving, Marquis.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I presently haven't the patience to read it any other way.

[doeswhatido.livejournal.com]

Are we really allowed this much room with the freedom of those we wish to reform?

[[BAFFLED. And kind of intimidated.]]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

He is my Inmate, and whatever I deem necessary to do my job, I will do.

[doeswhatido.livejournal.com]

And the Admiral will support and allow any active decision a Warden makes in such a manner?

[[He clears his throat.]]

I apologize. I'm new here and know very little about what my duties will be.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I'm not of authority to accurately answer that question. The Admiral decides what he will and will not allow.

[doeswhatido.livejournal.com]

Thank you anyway.

[[Er...has no idea what to make of this.]]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Even I believe they shouldn't be used as leverage against one another. If I see them communicating, I will not stop them.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

If you and the good Doctor had been responsible for as many deaths as they are, would you have continued to make trouble and then acted surprised if you Wardens did not respond any differently to how I have?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I would have behaved in their shoes. It depends on what I saw to be the greater good.

What I do know is that stripping away the few things that ground some of us to humanity is a piss-poor way of fostering good behaviour. Loved ones should not be used as tools for punishment.

If Morgan responded to my actions in the same way you've responded to Iago's-- and I'm not talking about the work duty or the stripping of luxuries-- I would feel less inclined to follow her. I respect her too much to believe that she would use Billy as collateral against me.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Nothing the Master does is for the greater good, and you're an idiot for comparing those situations.

Right now they've been three years away from this place, and they need time to resettle. If they are constantly together and undermining that in the initial part, it could be damaging, and enough damage has been done already.

If you, Henry, or Billy had spent three years helping a madman subjugate an entire colony of people, tortured and killed countless, and the other of you simply stood back and condoned it? Never questioned? And one never would have acted without the other backing them up?

That makes the two mutually culpable, and that is NOT love.

Well, he's on the breakfast crew. If someone makes sure he shows up for the other two shifts, I'll make sure he works.

Private

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Monsieur.

My only stipulation, and I hope it is something you're able to enforce, is that he not work with meat. I can supply to you the reasons if you must have them, but Iago cannot and most likely will refuse to handle it.

Private

I don't let new guys work the grill. He can do prep work with Morgan.
