Issue #70

[mistconduct]

Fuck me, we're four days into March and the port messed up my goddamn March Madness spread!

Fuck it, fine. Obviously since I can't watch college basketball on the Barge, we make our own entertainment here.

Bets are currently open to be placed on all inmates. It's $5 to play, 5 spots for $20. First inmate you picked to graduate gets paid out.

All unpaired inmates are wild cards - if you bet on them and they're first to graduate, you win a date with Loki in addition to the whole kit and caboodle.

Here's some sample odds I've got running;

Mickey - 2:1
The Emperor - 2:1
Abigail - 3:1
Cass - 3:1
Mira - 5:1
Tig - 10:1
Jax - 10:1
Touko - 20:1
Sylvanas - 25:1
Jerry - 25:1
Dean - 40:1
Arthas - 50:1

...Hey, does anyone else feel like utter crap?

I don't think it was a mistake that you went.

[She breathes out, heavy and slow. She knows, she knows. But it is a wrenching, heady relief to hear someone else say it aloud, to hear Abigail say it, in particular. Abigail who wanted to go, who understands some things about Ben in a way Anya maybe never will. Abigail whom Anya would have taken along, if the Admiral had let her, and if there is any choice Ben might never have forgiven her for, that would probably be it.

It was not a mistake to go. And having gone, not a mistake to stay, to be thorough, to be sure, else what point going at all?]

Maybe I could have told him better. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered.

You don't have to fix us, anyway. We're working on it. Just - he's been. Agitated.

[She isn't his warden. But she is his friend.]

I know I don't have to fix you. It just means a lot that he has you, okay? It means that - he's not alone, and he doesn't have to deal with problems alone, and he has somebody to take care of. Besides me.

It means a lot to me, too.
