That's fair. Mostly just curious whether she was going to go out of her way to make fun of him like GET A LOAD OF THIS BOZO! (if the idea is that she gets a copy stealthily to do this rather than talk it out first) which would be okay but just want to make sure I'd be pacing myself well
Crime in the City full episode: The '70s, Manhattan ... this is inspo for Misty's gift to Walter of authentic 70s true crime but it has some surprising Pyotr inspo in the middle. Maybe he could catch something similar to this on hotel TV in the news
arthur still can't be mad that someone made a counterproposal for the bill, bc that's what he was asking for to begin with, but he's still mad/tired it's walter
when he fell into walter's dreamworld bubble, found himself in handcuffs and didn't know seatbelts were a thing and got slammed into the front seat when walter stopped unexpectedly
honestly he'll take it more seriously than vincent v's amendments. not because it's walter vs VV but because an inmate perspective on why this might fucking suck is exactly what he wants
He really thinks that having had a somewhat normal and even luxurious life before the barge gives him freaking standards, which passengers on the barge are deliberately selected to NOT have. Including ones like Malcolm who despite having materially well supplied lives manage to experience this as a peaceful oasis
You say this Malcolm and yet every time Walter expresses a feeling "exhausting <3 manipulative <3 bitter <3 hope you tired yourself out, I'm going off for some self care" (He really sees it this way)
LOL Walter they need to work on your worldview. And remember: you're the one that set the expectations for exhausting and manipulative bitterness to be your point at all times.

OH RIGHT I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ONE THING. basically I was like. "man I need to write a list of places where Walter would be and could plausibly be pranked. wait, I'm working on an open log. OK! When I make the log, I can link it to them and that can be the reference Jesus uses!!" JUST SO YOU KNOW
"ok I should reply to the april 1st thread with a list of places Walter might be. that takes some effort to come up with. wait, I will type up the log, THEN I can reply to the separate april 1st thread saying these are places Walter might be"
Walter did straight up say to Misty "You shot Arthur, presumably with a firearm of some kind. For all I know, there were totally different circumstances, but I thought... because of all the relationships you have, you couldn't escape from him. And afterwards, you had to accept it." and she did NOT say no to the point I am gonna poke Iddy again
but hooray at least Walter is finally gettin some fuckin context now even though in the immediate next sentence or so it is not gonna be super successful
misty blissfully unaware that she could have helped avoid at least a chunk of walter's current crisis by NOT going "oh wow the arthur situation was embarrassing, i'm never going to talk about it or think about it again"
John's not asking her. Because it never goes well and he's (like just for him) never seen her take culpability for hurting Arthur or Arthur getting hurt.
she could also help avoid that (i.e. john being hurt by her not having apologized) by not playing the avoidance game, but it feels too vulnerable and she's scared :') better, in her mind, to just never bring it up ever ever ever than to risk trying to clear the air and it going badly
I'm taking a bit longer to reply cause I'm like "shit I need to figure out how to make sure monitor stuff is still discussed" LIKE BOTH ARE IMPORTANT but Walter might just be freaking out
he doesn't blame her for Walter's actions because Walter was the one who should have fucking checked first and he genuinely does not think Misty would have set him on that path. He does have that much faith in her.
yeah if they get to that, John will say that Misty repeatedly triggered Arthur even after being asked not to and given specific instructions of what was doing it, and about the cup
it's tragic because she genuinely wants to be close friends with him, but there's just so much fraught history there that she doesn't even know how to begin to address
just kind of like 'so I want to be 150% clear I do not and have not and will not hold you responsible for his actions, but I just talked to Walter and-"
well, like, before not talking about it was fine but now he's finding out it's another communication thing so he would be kind of inclined to go find her and go '...can this... not... happen again please?'
well if someone whiteknights about Arthur talking down to Yelena for instance then that is their problem. yes this needs to be prevented. Walter: does it though
At least Malcolm is trying to get Walter off the ship, however foolishly and ineptly... "I really don't want you to hang around here against your will, losing hope and getting more and more incurably miserable with every passing day." /gestures at Pyotr
RIGHT LIKE WALTER BROUGHT UP "A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME" but he definitely was ALSO thinking "bro did you not realize Pyotr is suffering so bad???????"
like he figured "people have been here longer than me" had more rhetorical effect for a lot of reasons but there are people who have been here about same, or shorter, time who are Sufferin'
Walter's thinking is more like Malcolm just now having this epiphany that the Barge is actually a place where a person can get more and more reasonable "bro have you met Sweeney??????"
Walter would not tell him about this right away but he literally went on a "date" with Yelena man. and it was friendly at least. he is open he just doesn't want all this "oh yeah it's not hell ^_^" bullshit
an exit door of get laid and accept the admiral is always right which is not what a real prison[1] would have prison[1] place for management of criminals prison[2] place where you are detained
Pyotr is based off a guy who was held in the Peter and Paul fortress in ten years, in fetters that he couldn't even fully sit up in, dying of scurvy, and still spit in a guard's face for offering him a bribe. Not trying to say that guy was cool, he was definitely bad, but yeah- defiance
with the cat video thing I need you to know that if he explicitly talked to Lark about this, he should have included some of the ones that are like "aww, you're cats and dogs!"
There's a wide variance. I believe for Lark it's "a few days a month", I didn't know until now if it was in a batch or weekly. I don't know if they need a bus to do it, I thought no they could ask the admiral - jedao seemed to have done this
So far 17 wardens signed, 4 inmates signed, 10 inmates abstained and one warden abstained. On the one hand this might make a bill hater happy but on the other hand a lot of the abstention is just "whatever" so it might indicate "whatever" abstention during the vote for monitor as well.
Walter would agree that the admiral is consistent but he doesn't think that the consistency is like... For an ideal that's good. He thinks it's for an ideal that is somewhere between neutral and bad. Mostly because after NS he genuinely believes "oh to graduate you just gotta murder less " is a bald faced lie
I'm also just sorta bumping this because I'm going to be doing a certain amount of afk weekend things and I currently am not aware of IBOR2STFU reactions which is cool cause they take time and thought just if anyone wants me to start chewing on their plot lmk
Yes, currently the only major supply of papers is in the speakeasy. But like
LiberBEARian
or something if you want to handwave Trevor got a copy to Steve that could work. ACTUALLY. Did Trevor or someone getting up Steve's flier happen. Because then I think it would suffice to say Walter was lurking in the kennel waiting for him to happen by
I doooon't think his flier has gone up yet but that's because I'm working on a few other things, but I can move that along if needed and then meeting outside the kennel makes sense!
LiberBEARian
nah their conversation steered away from it and then I got distracted lol. either trevor or laura can do it (and he's in the middle of talking to laura too haha)
but we can probably handwave-y assume there is a flier up and walter and steve can cross paths in the kennel absolutely, even if the other details aren't worked out yet
but I am not against it if you want to have them talk. I just need to figure out a reason he'd approach rather than throw his hands up, is all. or of course there's always an awkward meetcute in the hallway XD like obviously oocly I am happy to engineer something :3
Signatures are revocable anyway also. I would say it wouldn't significantly change the thread if it helps to say that, like, Walter's reaction. For instance Malcolm has signed it but also has his own issues and listened to Walter's reasons it seriously might not help
arthur also needs to hear about the entire point of this post as well bc DESPITE WHAT WALTER THINKS he does genuinely want to take advice under consideration
PG
: his response would be ‘there are people with less social currency?’ But he’s not NOT pushing at all. Saga just talked him into making it a completely separate project.
YES I am sorry about that. Like just yes he is going to answer though he will probably TRY to pivot back onto the original monitor topic as soon as he can. Though I know you're active so maybe I will write a "what the FUCK" kind of reply soon even if that does not contain the pivot so it will at least help some
Oh absolutely. More like "well I know DANII isn't going anywhere so maybe I am at liberty and will not PUSH multiple topics into one tag for efficiency"
oh my god(He really sees it this way)
he is aware it is not productive
but
what the FUCK natalie
Walter: you won't get a third nickel because no one else cares about Misty<3Walter: does it though
prison[1] place for management of criminals
prison[2] place where you are detained
