( 04 ) text ♧ go ask alice i think she'll know

[ solitude is an easy leap for a guy who likes to throw around dostoyevsky quotes like it ain't no thing, and men who go looking for secrets often find them. as such: have the very first non-video caffrey post, tranquility. fuck smiling, this shit ain't right. ]

"Try not to die".

This ship really is the most user friendly around, isn't it? And helpful.

Anyone who isn't used to computers, ask Tony Stark what I mean.

[ he'd say he's sorry, tony... but he isn't. ]

Normally I'd make an English lesson out of this one, but forget it. "Solitude" is the password you want, if you like feeling special, not to mention uncomfortably singled out.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this is a list I could stand not to be on-- and I don't feel particularly giving, especially not towards our smiling friend.

Any thoughts from the other esteemed honorees?

I need a word. And you two need better PR, so let's help each other out here.

I'm flattered, but I like to exchange names before I commit to anything. How about a quick sitdown? Strictly off the record.

If we're going to get metaphorical, I'm aware this is all one big prison cell. But there are advantages to being underestimated.

And how many slams have you broken out of?

[ JUST THIS FACE. ]

Not much of an answer.

Cards on the table? Just the one supermax.

Smalltime.

I prefer 'good at what I do'. You can't break out of what you're not in. And it only took me a month to put that together, thank you very much, because even I can't accelerate the time it takes to grow a decent beard.

[ snippy snippy, mr caffrey. ]

Sometimes the quickest way to get away, is to let them think they've got you where they want you.

[Plus the restraints and transportation they used for Riddick were a lot more careful and secure than the slams he ended up in.]

I don't look good in orange.

[ and prison is messy, messy business. nobody wants to work with the assholes who get caught. ]

[These references are beginning to actually annoy him now.]

What year are you from?

...2011, why?

[ give him a moment to scan the conversation, put two and two together. ]

Prison jumpsuits are orange and ugly. It's an old joke about the real reason none of us want to be locked up.

Give it a few thousand years, orange jumpsuits will be a fucking luxury.

[A lot of the slams Riddick had been in, you were lucky they gave you food. Clothing was what you had on your back, or what you ripped off another inmate's back.]

They're a luxury outside of the US's comparably cushy prison system, too. Burma, for example? They're not a fan of jewel thieves.

[Burma doesn't exist anymore, Neal. But Riddick focusses on the important part of that statement.]

So you're a thief.

[ Because she's noticed a decided lack of answer on the listmate filter. Which she assumes means either he's not answering, or the thread has gone private. ]

answer the question.
