FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Johnpost! with a significant wardenlocked bit asking about being Helpful and some other pings.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
and warden ping
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢 Dorian, you realize this sounds... hilariously hypocritical from you
Bhaalspawn
I'm laughing a disproportionate amount at "Hey girl". idk why, I just love it too much XD
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
Dorian's mostly against it because look at the Barge, it's FULL of a bunch of people who will take up this offer without thinking it through
Ptriciadactyl
Maggie like "there are probably drawbacks, but also, the drawbacks are probably an improvement over zombie virus concerns."
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
impulse control here sucks and having God fuck around with your insides is definitely something he has zero faith in people to actually pause, think, and make a pros and cons list
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Bhaalspawn : he has no decorum when he absolutely doesn't have to
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢 : and then you have it undone? it's not like selling your SOUUUUUL sir
Ptriciadactyl
(Maggie absolutely makes a mental pros/cons list, because that's how she operates)
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
hey now, he got his soul back, tyvm. took like, a hundred and fifty years, but it's safe in his body right now!
Mrs Sheepie
i love the wild range of responses here
Mad Larkin
Rawne: I volunteer!
Ptriciadactyl
Maggie will be talking to Iris before giving a concrete yes, because... due diligence, and all
Kira🌵
it's hilarious to me just how many people here are speaking directly out of their own personal involuntary body change trauma
Kira🌵
gonou, dorian and eiffel...
Kira🌵
(well, okay, dorian was voluntary afaik but)
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
john himself was changed (and given a Shit Ton Of Responsibilty) without his consent
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
and whoo boy is he not okay about it
Mrs Sheepie
dorian didn't get given the fine print
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
John was basically Jor El who then got handed Jesus Powers only guess how well that all goes when you've got Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg with their own agendas?
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
dorian 100% didn't get given the fine print
Mad Larkin
Rawne really likes the idea of not getting injured ever again
Mad Larkin
and, to a certain extent, of his loved ones being harder to hurt
pharadyne
Dorian: Only idiots will go for it.
Norton: Me. I'm the idiot.

floofdoodle
I'm bummed I can't find a gif of the next line:
"You just haven't paid it yet"
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
pharadyne : why do i feel like John admitting what he did to Johann is not something that's going to dissuade Norton?
pharadyne
never let a little murder between inmates get in the way of a good idea
pharadyne
(also, although he likes Johann, he likes Iris too. and understands vindictiveness. and he trusts that he hasn't done anything to make John pull a doublecross and do something similar to him)
floofdoodle
Is there any particular behavior one would notice while he was on the deck? I wasn't sure if he was obviously patrolling or something like that. I may just tag him in the commissary
floofdoodle
And how does he normally dress?
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
White shirt, black or slate pants, his emperor's crown, sandals
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
probably just smoking on there
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
floofdoodle : sorry forgot to ping for that
floofdoodle
Perfect, thanks!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
pharadyne : nope! Norton's good!
on hiatus
Jamil just giving the lengthiest "please.... do not..."
𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢
silently, Dorian is just so so thankful that there's another person on team "how about no???". you're good people, Jamil
on hiatus
Jamil can understand how it might feel like a great idea, but his experience with reckless folks is..... extensive
pharadyne
Torchwood's mission statement is practically "we found this alien object, let's poke at it and see what it does!" so John's suggestion seems perfectly within average and acceptable bounds of recklessness for Norton.
Kira🌵
meanwhile Gonou doesn't see how it's meaningfully different from letting people use healing powers on you, in terms of "potential risk"
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
John's counterpoint: "I think the current setup is fine" says Johnny Five-Dicks. "Perhaps I would like to not be made of tissue paper," replies Chainsaw-hands Joe.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
Kira🌵 : yeah, he's... kinda with you, Gonou.
Kira🌵
honestly Gonou's sense of appropriate bounds for recklessness is also deeply fucked, so this is not necessarily a good recommendation, but that's where he falls!
Kira🌵
(plus he does wish Eiffel would take John up on this offer, on account of being not just squishy but extremely frequently squished)
Mrs Sheepie
eiffel knows what he's like and does not trust the potential for recklessness he has if he were to be invulnerable
Mrs Sheepie
granted he is also equating it somewhat to being like so drunk he doesn't register pain anymore
Kira🌵
Gonou meanwhile is a little bit concerned that it's his tendency to devalue his own suffering that's getting in the way of making himself less squishy....
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
for ooc knowledge... John actually is not intending anything shady or shitty. there are reasons he's an inmate, this is not me supporting this as the Best Idea Ever for everyone. I'm just saying for ooc: he's not trying to scam anyone.
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
he's not putting anything into their brains secretly or anything. that's actually not his jam
cacopheny
nah B doesn't necessarily think he is. he just. thinks it's a bad idea to make some individuals in the populace stronger than others without, y'know, being really, really careful about it >.> as the resident bad-result supersoldier
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
and you have valid points sir!
pharadyne
everyone bringing their history and experiences to the discussion is really really interesting!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
yup!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
floofdoodle : oh I just realized I didn't mention: it's less patrolling and more just staying upon deck and reaching out his senses, so it just looks like staring at the stars. Sometimes sitting, sometime leaning against the railing. the resurrection beasts are by and large HUGE
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
...except for when they aren't. But the most recent one is
floofdoodle
Given the stuff with Maggie, I may wait until she talks to Sweeney and use that as a gateway drug to conversation <3
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
floofdoodle : makes sense
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
if Dorian talks to him about it, John will happily answer questions about what happened there too.
floofdoodle
I'm excited. I've wanted some cr with him, but was struggling with a path to it. This is great
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
woot!
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
https://images.plurk.com/4nMnRrGFAOIvLuDAKKixbE.png and then there's this nonsense
Lady Stardust
insert the gif of the pizza fire guy
floofdoodle
lol
Mrs Sheepie
Eiffel saw this bullshit and decided to take the dumb road
Bhaalspawn
lmao I just had this long moment of like snack guy? I don't think Danii and I discussed John opting in for feeding her, and then it freaking clicked you meant like literal food snacks
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
She is WELCOME to make that mistake
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
but no, he works in the commissary : )
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
he also sleeps around
Bhaalspawn
omg don't tempt me. I mean it's already too late I'm typing it but still.
Bhaalspawn
he should tease her about this for the rest of her life
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
he's going to give it a LITTLE time
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
no teasing at first
FʀɪᴇɴᴅIɴYᴇʟʟᴏᴡ
it's more fun when it comes up later, organically
Ptriciadactyl
Tossed Ulla in! here to ask logistical questions about healing and injuries.
Ptriciadactyl
she OBVIOUSLY won't be taking this offer, she has to cut her tail/legs and reshape her flesh and bones on a regular basis, but she approves of inmates having a choice in the matter.
