104 - West is quite practical.

[West tries to start a sentence, then stops himself. Then starts again. Then stops himself. This continues a few times]

As a matter of clarification: how do floods affect... ah... the showers?

That is...

I'm... not meant to use the men's showers at this time, am I? Or, being truly a man, is it... I--





I truly detest floods.

[OOC: FOR REFERENCE, West has totally still been using the men's showers. SO UH, I guess if any dude Inmates saw a chick in there? Yeah

LOL FOR FURTHER REFERENCE: West hasn't been walking around naked, so the most you saw was a chick in a towel UNLESS YOU WERE CREEPY ENOUGH TO PEEP INTO THE SHOWER STALLS which you probably were]

And I shall have my short and pale self back, and you shall not be pestered by lecherous stares.

They should know that is not their right to demand a 'show' of a woman, whether she is in her own mind or not.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Are those very common for you? They're quite annoying.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Under certain circumstances, I can see where they may lose their heads a little, but here? There's no excuse; there are plenty of natural women all too happy to do it.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

And I sincerely doubt my wife is one of them.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

She doesn't strike me as the type.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I didn't realise there was a specific type, Major.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Then you haven't met some of the female Inmates we've had in the past.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Since I was very young, aye. One becomes accustomed to being treated like property instead of a person, though I had hoped that there would be some change upon my arrival.

Apparently it was not to be, such a change. I am sorry you had to experience it firsthand.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Well, it gives one something to think about.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

People should not be put into 'types' so easily, though.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

One does what one can with the lot given to them in life.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not, but it's human nature to categorise people and things.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Undoubtedly true. I think my wife, at least for my time, somewhat defied catagorisation. Not to say they didn't try.

[ace-hits-daleks.livejournal.com]

No, they're probably thinking of doing something else...

I reckon you should get the consent of whoever owns that body, before you go letting it get abused.

Ethan's totally been using the mens as well.

[stayandgloat.livejournal.com]

You do realise that if your "male inmates are rapists" theory holds up, then we could just as easily get him in the ladies showers.

[ace-hits-daleks.livejournal.com]

When you go swimming, to you cut your wrists, too?

I'm sure there wouldn't be too much chance of a shark coming along, after all...

This talk makes him uncomfortable, which in turn makes him mad

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'm not letting it get abused, so why don't you shut your mouth until you actually understand the dynamics here? I'm using Sexby's cabin until this is finished, because he offered, unlike the other oh, so concerned individuals.

[ace-hits-daleks.livejournal.com]

Good.

[stayandgloat.livejournal.com]

You know, if I recall, 100% of the genuine cases of rape on the barge have been committed by wardens against male inmates, so maybe you want to re-think who the "sharks" in your metaphor are.

You may not have noticed, but the inmates tend to police themselves here. Like it or not there's a fairly good imitation of a society in this place, and for all the murder and the stealing and the vigilante justice, rape hasn't ever been much of a problem here, and if it was? Then rest assured a good portion of the remainder of the inmate population would claim back their pound of flesh for the indiscretion.

Oh. Sorry.

At least you don't look like your warden. I look like Peter. Again.

She is confused!

[ace-hits-daleks.livejournal.com]

Look, I don't know the statistics, but... Just use your common sense!
