seems like last jump had an increase in law enforcement officers.
how nice. i know i for one feel much safer with some of new york's finest aboard.

all i want to do is my work anyway I choose to do it, all I want is the next line and the line after that. what they do and who they are and what they want and what they say and what they write has no interest for me and, unfortunately for them, no interest to most others living, dying or about to be born, uh huh.

i was beginning to lose hope

wanna elaborate?

[certainproclivity]

Well, I suppose it's open to interpretation, but you are quoting a man who's spent his life aggrandizing the ordinary and mundane in a place that is anything but.

Although given the passage, perhaps it's highly appropriate.

and here i thought no one else on this rig could speak my language.

[Bukowski's so common, Keller.]

I was beginning to think the same, myself.

[ BUKOWSKI SPEAKS TO HIS SOUL. ]

seems like you just gotta look a little deeper, eh?

[certainproclivity]

Or wait until someone remembers that we're all civilized here.

[blunted]

could be waiting a long time for that

[certainproclivity]

I'm a patient man and I have little choice in the matter.

Or I could simply cut my losses and idle away my copious amount of free time with those who appreciate my interests.

[blunted]

the latter's the more realistic plan

[certainproclivity]

I do have a preference for that option, yes.

[blunted]

you met caffrey yet?

[certainproclivity]

The name doesn't sound familiar, no.

[blunted]

remind me to introduce you
figure you guys'll get on like a house on fire or whatever the saying is

I take it he's also suffering the complete lack of culture in this place.

[blunted]

you bet
and bitching about it every chance he gets

[certainproclivity]

I can't say I blame him, even with my own concerns. I've seen prisons that look similar to this ship. It's hardly comforting.

[blunted]

and not a single creature comfort to be had.

[certainproclivity]

Except what we're lucky enough to be given. Although, I'm not certain if I'm fond of our mysterious benefactors or find them somewhat suspicious.

[Hence the main reason he hasn't touched his Petrus.]

[blunted]

err towards the later
not that i got anything to be suspicious of.

[certainproclivity]

Anything can be lethal these days. The clothing, however, at least appears to be safe.

[HE WORE AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IT WAS HELL. He's not going back to issued clothing, no sir. He'd rather die of poisoned CLOTHES.]

[blunted]

it's hard to fuck with the clothing

[certainproclivity]

Barbaric, as well. I do miss having a decent suit, however.

[blunted]

you and me both.
this jumpsuit's starting to feel constricting
