So, it is a common thing for more people to just vanish when we get closer to the end of the month, or am I just trying to see patterns that aren't really there?

[Private to Will Graham]

You got a second? I've got a couple questions for you.

[Private to Howie]

You busy?

Private - SORRY FOR ALL THE SPAMMING YOU.

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

My inmate left an hour after I received her file.

Private - /HATES YOU FOREVER >|

[batmanschmatman]

Wow. I'm sorry.

Re: Private - /CRIES IN A CORNER

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

Yours is still here, right?

Private - <3?

[batmanschmatman]

Last time I checked.

[We would have a very unhappy vigilante on our hands if he wasn't. :\]

[paradoxlol]

There's a pretty even distribution of disappearances, really. It's the arrivals that follow a pattern.

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, I'd definitely noticed that. Does the population stay pretty consistent? I haven't really been around long enough to make any definite claims one way or the other.

[paradoxlol]

In my time here it has. Sometimes we get a big influx, but people drop out so frequently that the overall numbers tend to stay roughly the same. Good thing, too, since it seems to keep us from running out of rooms. [As the last addition of a new level came before Arthur's time.]

[batmanschmatman]

I've actually been wondering about what would happen if we did. I mean, there's plenty of lost souls and people willing to make deals, seems kinda counterproductive to this place's credo if there's a cap on how many people are allowed to be here.

[Private] - I fail so hard at 'hiatus'

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

I got time. Too much of it, in fact. Ask away.

[Private] - Hiatusing is hard to do. :|

[batmanschmatman]

I know this is kind of a weird line of questioning to just start off with, but does John's being an inmate have anything to do with religion?

[Private] - It is :| Especially when you have the tlv friends page on 5min auto-refresh

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

I know he's a very religious person, if that's what you're asking. I take it this wouldn't be a random curiosity?

[Private] - ... you are dedicated. /salutes

[batmanschmatman]

Nope. I'm concerned because apparently Costigan's been talking with him about some faith related issues, and frankly, I think both of us aren't really sure this is a good idea. Maybe more me then him.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

...I hadn't noticed that before.

[batmanschmatman]

Really?

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I mean, I don't really think there's a pattern in disappearances, none that I've noticed anyway (duh, I said that), but lately...it's been happening in groups.

[batmanschmatman]

Maybe it's just a blip in the system or something. I mean, you've been around longer then me obviously, so if things are generally one way, this could just be the exception that proves the rule.

;private - strikes readable if trying

[everylittlegirl]

Wow. Are you seriously ignoring me after talking all about how it didn't change anything?

Well, at least I was right. You really are just like the rest of them.

;private - He always tries. :|

[batmanschmatman]

I'm not ignoring you. You were talking with Arthur, I didn't think I had anything useful to add. It's not like I know anything about how the Barge's changed over the years.

If you want to talk, talk.

;private

[everylittlegirl]

I was talking about the same things you were talking about.

private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Not really, no. Why?

private

[batmanschmatman]

I was wondering if I could ask you a couple inmate/religion based questions, if that's okay with you.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Of course you can.

What is it?

[peektuttut]

There isn't really a pattern to it. It's common for people to come and go, but it tends to be spread out.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm not sure if that's comforting or frustrating.

[peektuttut]

Mostly frustrating. It's not all bad, though. Some people graduated.
