[Chris, newly healed, is standing outside the Enclosure. He's looking characteristically excited, eyes gleaming]

Okay. Okay, just go with me on this.

What if this....

[He jerks his thumb back at the Enclosure's door]


....plus this?


[He brings a large box into view, holding it up in both hands.

It's Jumanji - the board game.]


Ten minutes. Get your shit and let's go.

That includes you, Omar.

[tucky]

What? Why do you wanna do that?

[mistconduct]

Because it would be fucking awesome.

[tucky]

Y'all wanna die in weird ways after that stuff that just happened?

[mistconduct]

I'm actually okay with dying this way.

[tucky]

... Why? Just 'cause it was in a movie?

[mistconduct]

Totally.

[tucky]

That don't sound very fun to me at all. Movies can be terrible.

[mistconduct]

Jumanji was great. You saw it! Fucking Robin Williams, man.

[tucky]

'Course I saw it; everyone saw it. I don't mean it was a bad movie, I mean... it'd be terrible if you was a character in it. If you had to have all that stuff happen.

[mistconduct]

Please. It'd be fucking awesome. Look, if you don't want to play, don't play. That's all there is to it.

[tucky]

... Yeah, okay. I won't.

[Pr... obably.]

Well, what kind of stuff are you gonna do in there? Are you gonna be trying to die on purpose?

[mistconduct]

What? No. Fuck no. I'm going to try to win.

[tucky]

How do you do that? I don't remember.

[mistconduct]

You roll the dice, get to the end, yell out Jumanji. End of complicated rules.

[tucky]

Yeah, but how do you get there? Don't it try to kill you?

[mistconduct]

That's, like. So not important to the overall theme of the game. Don't worry about it.

[tucky]

Okay.

[She sounds skeptical! This is unusual for her.]

So, like, good luck. I guess.

[mistconduct]

Thanks, Princess. I'll let you know if we all die horribly.

[tucky]

[She raises her eyebrows and gives him a wry little grin before disconnecting. Chris, she's pretty sure she likes you and all, but how in the world are you a warden.]
