We stick out a little too well.

. . .

Maybe it change it up then. If ya can't trust 'em, you can still use 'em, right?

[doesn't address that, but the smile that crosses his face says it all, really]

I'm still deciding on the best course of action.

[snorts, leaning back]

You're a careful bastard, ya know that?

Thanks. But compared to you, couldn't that be said about anybody?

Hah! You already forgetting the other jackasses on that boat? From the way some of those acts went, they're crazy than I am.

Touché. And I'm sure they all went straight home and are now acting as normal as can be, which is a whole different level of insanity, if you think about it.

Although to be fair, none of them are in prison. Did anybody ever tell you what you did?

Hah! Not a bit. I mean, I guess I did kill one of 'em on my way in, so add that to he list. [SHRUG]

So your guess is as good as mine.

[laughs]

Honestly, I've met tigers less feral than you.

[says it like a compliment, though]

Jokes on you, I don't know what a tiger is.

[that's a lie he has a vauge idea. maybe.

he'd still try to eat it]

I'll introduce you sometime.

Hell, maybe I can talk my way into performing a show in here. Vision-me performs shows for prisoners, so I don't see why I couldn't.

Haah? Really? What's the context for that, just low on cash?

Nah. Elaborate revenge plot.

[shrugs]

. . .

Go oooon.

I haven't pieced everything together yet, but he had some kind of reason to want revenge against the warden. He'd already done something to get the guy who helped kill his dad arrested, and he used his access to the prison to sneak him in a weapon, so the two problems could take care of each other.

I mean, the warden probably has it comin'. Hell, I haven't even seen the warden here. Fuckin' coward.

Though how come ya say "he." Doesn't feel like you?

Does it matter how he feels? He isn't me.

Not what I asked.

I asked if he felt like you.

...And what if he does?

[a light shrug]

Just think you might be able to learn a thing or two from 'em.

...I intend to. I already have.

[a lil defensive here]

Like what? Spit it out.

If yer worried about the guards here, I already knocked em out, they ain't hearin' nothin'. Besides, I'm the one in jail here. Ain't anything you say gonna mean fuck all to them without context.

The guards aren't the problem. Everyone around me thinks I'm playing a character, anyway. But you amnesiacs take those things too seriously...

[sighs]

At any rate, vision-me is... inspirational. He doesn't have any blessings, connections, or allies. In fact, he's surrounded by enemies, to the point where I suspect most people in his situation would just lay down and die. But with nothing more than wits and determination, he became a force of reckoning. One by one, everyone who had ever crossed him got what was coming to them.

I don't think he's real in a literal sense, but it's clear that he's there to show me the kind of person I need to be. Ruthless. Self-reliant. Willing to get my hands dirty.

Hoooh. A lot to live up to.

So what's stopping ya?

Nothing. But these things take time and planning. I'm still in that phase at this point.

Well. I am going to try something fun soon. But that's my little secret.

Aaah? Can't even tell your good buddy Goose? Hah!

It better at least make the news so I can see it.
