038. - No more shapeshifters! Aw yeah!

[brokenweapon]

Unpaired again, thank God.

[Warden Filter]
Does anyone know anything about an author named Robert Ludlum?

[Private to Will Parry]
David probably doesn't want me talking to you, but there are some things you need to know about him that wouldn't be in his file.

You sound relieved. [Someone had to get it right.]

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[Thank God, someone gets it.]

It was time for a change.

Let me know if you want me to edit!

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Apparently that's the same for a lot of people. We've had a fair few reassignments.

[Warden filter.]

As no one else has opted to answer your question, Robert Ludlum is a thriller writer and the author of the Bourne series, which I'm sure is why you're showing interest. You wouldn't find what little I could tell you about him very enlightening, he's an average fellow with a compelling writing style.

It's perfect. :D

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

[He holds up a copy of the novel of The Bourne Identity.] I figured that much out.

It's confusing, though. Not the fact that I'm in a book - it's that so much of it is inaccurate. For starters, it's set in the early '80s. I was in grade school at the time. [There are a whole bunch of other inaccuracies too, but that really jumps out.]

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

I've had productions made of me that are similarly erroneous. Origins are perhaps mangled on their transfer through the universe.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

Maybe. The broad strokes are right. That's enough to bother me.

Sorry, he had saw the above and had to comment.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Amen to that.

You and Nygma, huh? Maybe you two can make a club for failure wardens.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

David. Seriously. That was uncalled for.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

It also happened to be true.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Because they haven't graduated someone, that makes them failures? Neverminding the fact that Inmates have disappeared on them.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

No, they're failures because they're both jerks and think they're better than everyone else.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Short sigh and rubbing of the temples.] Okay. Because I don't want to do this with you again, I'm just going to say 'okay'.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

If it's any consolation, Claire, keeping company with jerks doesn't make you a jerk.

Private
You're actually all right once someone gets to know you.

I do wish he was Dr. Cox for a moment. "Pot. Kettle. OH MY GOD HOW HAVE YOU TWO NEVER MET?!"

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

Ever heard of the pot calling the kettle black?

Take heart - if Cox were here, the thread would implode from the snarkplosion.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but the difference is, I never pretend that I've got the right to tell people how to live their lives.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

And for once we agree on something.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Huh. Guess it was bound to happen eventually. This place didn't freeze over, did it?

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

Weather's been getting colder, but not that cold.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

How do we even have weather in here, anyway? Never thought about that.

They could be okay with each other eventually due to not being paired. Maybe.

[brokenweapon.livejournal.com]

Same reason you and I are here. The Admiral (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt).

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Careful with yourself, David. Your badmouthing of a complete stranger says a lot about your pliability.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Not complete stranger - I grew up reading about you, remember?

... Oh, and watching you parade around in a tiara and earrings in Batman Forever. I oughta tell Tim about that, he'll get a laugh.

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

Reading about The Riddler-- not me, I arrived after his time. You don't know me beyond second word and presumptions.

[He clears his throat.] No need. Tim decided to traumatize me with that depiction early into my time here.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

You're gonna pull the 'you don't know me' card? Really?

[He laughs.] What, you didn't want to follow in his glittering, sequined footsteps?

[puzzleprince.livejournal.com]

And I don't know you. It's a courtesy I extend to all fictitious people on board. I don't exercise in naivety.

Not particularly. The suit was garish.
