TEXT } coming at you live from lockup.

[godcards]

Well, I'm stuck inside, so tell me: is Retrospec doing anything noteworthy? Is it raining fire or flooding toxic waste into the streets yet? And before anyone jumps down my throat about reading the post... No, I didn't, because this computer is so old it can hardly load anything. Even the usual stupid underhanded bullshit that company does would be a more interesting read about than staring at a wall for hours.

The concept of 'free time' here is a joke when it's the same thing every single day. Monotony and restrictions that keep you from doing much of anything because it could be considered 'dangerous'... so, entertain me. I'm bored. I have a couple hours to kill. At least tell me if there's some world-changing disaster going on that's going to make my life even MORE difficult while I'm in here...

On the contrary, they actually gave us useful information for a change.

Of course, with the recent disappearance of the Retrospec building, it's almost completely useless to us now, but at least the quality of their posts seem to be improving.

Also, the city's been invaded by turkeys, but I don't think the mayor's usual stupidity counts as a "world-changing disaster."

[frostythehitman]

oh no!!!!
you mean you're not having fun in jail?

[godcards]

None of this reply made any sense. Elaborate.

[godcards]

[ bruh that gif won't even load on this ancient relic that is considered to be the dayroom computer. ]

No. They had to keep me out of jail to make room for you, I suppose.

[floret]

Hello! I'm sorry you're stuck inside. Are you in quarantine?

(By the way I only joined Retrospec recently. So if it is weird/rude to respond to a person you don't know, please let me know, and I'm sorry!)

private

[parodeity]

where are you anyway
is wherever you are accepting visitors
i wanted to talk to you

[godcards]

Something like that, yes.

Don't be so pathetic. If I have no interest in you I'll stop replying.

[godcards]

What are they calling it...? The crazy bin? Something like that. Mental hospital, psych ward, asylum, take your pick. It's basically prison daycare.

You have to call ahead, they keep track of 'privileges' and hardly tell me anything about them. I guess today is a visiting day and that's why the rec room is all but empty. I don't know.

If you want to 'talk' which really means lecture, I'll pass. I'm getting enough of that.

[ he can be Real with dave because he likes him :( ]

[floret]

It's just that every platform kind of has its own norms. . . . Like whether you can just start following someone or whether it's normal to message first. But lol Ok!

Anyway I haven't noticed any world-changing disasters, so that's good.

[parodeity]

no
i dont really do lectures

i just want to know wtf happened
on your side
you never pinged me as someone to do whatever the fuck
so i want to know if something happened
with like
whatever you got back

and idk it felt like a conversation to maybe have in person

[godcards]

The post is public, you idiot, and you replied for a reason, yes? Don't expect sympathy because you're being spineless.

That being said, at least you've answered my question. So you have something going for you yet...

[godcards]

Of course you're not going to say you do lectures when I said I don't want any... No matter, there's plenty of security around here to escort you out if you do.

Don't expect much, I'll at least tell you that here.

[parodeity]

have you ever known me to lecture you ever
or anyone else really
its not a commonplace thing for me

ok
when can i visit?

[godcards]

Try next Saturday. Call first. A nurse will tell you what you can and can't bring, the whole list of rules, whatever you want to know. Like I said, they don't really tell me anything.

To make this easier on you: don't bring anything, they'll confiscate it.

[floret]

I wasn't really looking for sympathy, so I guess that part works out. . . .

Are you sure you want to talk right now? It seems like youre in a pretty bad mood.
Or is this one of those things where you need an outlet for frustration?

[frostythehitman]

[ all those minutes i spent finding an embeddable version of that gif, gone to waste! ]

big talk for someone who's never gonna see the light of day again

[parodeity]

i have a hammerspace inventory system but ill keep in mind
thanks for the tip

and ill call them and ask and see you then

re: retrospec: the entire building disappeared and theres a wafflehouse there now
wifflewaffle
and a mailbox
now when we get sent items we get tickets and we go get them from the mailbox
apparently
maurice is running it

[godcards]

Yes I want to talk right now! I'm bored! I have nothing to do!!!!

[godcards]

That's cute. You know I'm not actually in jail? I'm not serving a life sentence here. They'll let me go once I'm "better."

[floret]

Oh ok! Let's keep talking then.

Um, when you're not in quarantine, what do you do? Are you a student?

[godcards]

Well then don't pull something sharp out of nowhere or you'll have about five security guys on you out of nowhere.

Tickets... do they say what you're getting back? Not like it does me much good right now, but that's even more insulting to get a random ticket saying I'm getting more useless garbage back...

[parodeity]

will do

yeah
can whatever youre using handle pictures
its just like a ticket with a 20 digit number an an item description and the logo
seems like the descriptions are more or less accurate
apparently we dont have to get the crap
or can store other shit they gave us

oh but if you put in stuff that doesnt belong
it like
pulls pranks on you
so thats happening

[godcards]

In name only. But sure, I attended often enough to be called a "student." Don't even bother asking about school or grades like a concerned parent. They meant nothing to me.

[godcards]

I doubt it. It can barely load text posts. I'll just take your word for it... Like I said, they don't do me much good anyway.

Oh? What kind of pranks? Better than the Halloween ones, I hope.

[frostythehitman]

[ WHAT THE FUCK.

Whoever passed down that sentence, James wants to find them and smack them across the face. Malik stabbed him like four times and traumatized everyone else and gets to walk free (eventually)? Bullshit! ]

and i'll send you right back
no one just "accidentally" tortures 9 people
you're going to prison for life asshole
i'm going to make sure of it
