Do graduations always come in clumps like this? Because seriously, we've had two in two days. And since I've gotten here, it seems like we've had two in two months. Did the Admiral spike the water or something like that?

Maybe they drank the Barge Kool-aid.

[allusionsahoy]

I'm not sure if drinking the Barge Kool-aid would get you off the boat or keep you on it. Maybe it makes you like the Admiral more.

[goodgrasshopper]

Perish the thought. Were you here for Valentine's Day, when the unpaired inmates were all obsessing over the Admiral?

[allusionsahoy]

I wasn't. That sounds horrible.

[goodgrasshopper]

The warden end of it was pretty horrifying too. The Admiral was stalking unpaired wardens in creepy "secret admirer" fashion... which reminded me a lot of Fatal Attraction, actually.

[allusionsahoy]

The next thing you know, he's killing your pets and stealing your dresses.

[goodgrasshopper]

I think Mouse could probably give him a run for his money.

[allusionsahoy]

You do own Dogzilla, after all.

[goodgrasshopper]

Mmhm. [grin] Dogzilla takes down his own monsters--I think he can handle the Admiral.

[allusionsahoy]

I'd put my money on him.

[goodgrasshopper]

Me too.

[allusionsahoy]

So, how've you been lately? Any secret warden pow-wows that I need to know about?

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, if there were, telling you would defeat the point of that whole "secret" thing, wouldn't it?

But--no. No secret meetings. And I'm doing pretty well, I guess. How about you? Secret inmate pow-wows? State of mental, physical, and emotional well-being?

[allusionsahoy]

And why would I tell you about secret inmate pow-wows? As for the rest, healthy, healthy and healthy.

[goodgrasshopper]

Hm. Good point. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well, at least. You came through that shitstorm of... whatever that was all right?

[allusionsahoy]

The memory thing? Yeah. I don't really know what it was, but I pretty much stayed low throughout the whole thing.

[goodgrasshopper]

That... is probably a very good call--just in general principle. I did the same, and it seemed to work out pretty well.

[allusionsahoy]

Three cheers for staying down.

[goodgrasshopper]

Always a smart plan when weird things happen.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Maybe that Adam guy actually helped. Not the one who graduated. The one who messed with our minds.

[allusionsahoy]

Like hell. None of that sci-fi crap could actually help you graduate.

ooc

[Pssst, just a quick head's up, but I'm pretty sure that as per this post, no one actually remembers Adam himself, or even his name! For future reference. :)]

[everylittlegirl]

Maybe they're just lucky.

[allusionsahoy]

Considering that there seems to be no way to bribe the Admiral, lucky seems like our best guess.

[everylittlegirl]

Although, now that you mention it.. It does seem like a lot of them happen pretty close together.

[allusionsahoy]

See. I don't know, maybe the floods manage to make you graduate or something.

[everylittlegirl]

I guess it makes sense.. People aren't themselves and then I guess they learn from it or whatever.

[allusionsahoy]

Rehabilitation through trauma. This can't possibly go wrong.

[everylittlegirl]

Apparently it works for some people.

[allusionsahoy]

Well lucky them. The rest of us just get traumatized.

[everylittlegirl]

Yeah, I never really liked it either.

[allusionsahoy]

It's a sucky system but what can we do.

[everylittlegirl]

Just try to enjoy it in the meantime, I guess.
