[Private to Claire]

We should talk.

[Private to Steph]

Sorry I ran out on you. Everything's under control.

[Private to the Admiral; added after talking to Steph]

I need another set of shatterproof escrima sticks from back home.

[ooc: Posting for timeline's sake, will probably be slow with replies to get stuff worked out between Jr. Bat and his inmate so that we don't have contradictory stuff going on. <3]

What happened?

Costigan got into a fight.

How bad was it?

He's pretty banged up, but he'll be okay.

That's a relief. You don't need to apologize for running off, though. Your inmate's more important.

Still, I felt like you should know everything's okay.

Well thanks for the update.

Are you okay?

I'm pretty pissed off, but I'm okay.

If you're pissed off, we could always continue practice.

Well I've got some stuff I need to take care of right now, but I think I could get away for a couple hours later tonight.

Take your time. I totally get that you're busy.

On the plus side, I think you're ready to graduate to actual sticks.

Really? Score! [ Cough cough I mean. ]

Awesome, I totally knew it.

Yeah. We should. Mind telling me why your Inmate went after mine?

Edited 2011-02-24 05:49 (UTC)

He had a reason. Mind telling me why yours tried to kill mine?

Armand is saying that Costigan attacked him first, that he fought back and then Costigan stabbed him in the chest with a knife. I know that much is true from the wound in his chest after I went to save his life. He either doesn't know why the attack happened or he's not telling me, but I believe him this time when he claims to not know. Aside from self-defense, the only reason he even fought back was because he lost control. Armand...has memory issues and we've been trying to work through those. This must have triggered something.

Yeah, he stabbed him. Armand strangled him and set my item off. And unless I missed a memo about you arriving on the scene too because your item responded? I sincerely doubt you saved his life. I might not know a hell of a lot about vampires, but I know a stab wound wouldn't kill him. So unless you want to enlighten me on something I missed out on, saving his life is grossly exaggerating and don't try and play that card with me.

Also? Self defense is a great argument for disabling, but it doesn't justify murder when you clearly have the advantage in a fight from the get go, and yeah, memory issues suck? But that's not an excuse.

Costigan's only ever attacked two people on the Barge before, he had reasons then, he had a reason now and so Armand might not have started the fight, but he definitely did something first to piss him off enough to attack someone who clearly had a physical advantage.

Edited 2011-02-25 05:52 (UTC)

Oh, please, was my Inmate just supposed to stand there and not fight back? Come on, now. It wasn't murder, you don't get to use that term when someone was there to interfere. And had Armand just stood there not fought back, my item would have gone off too, Dick.

Maybe you should figure out what caused the attack then in the first place, because last I checked, the two didn't have pressing issues before this mess.

What planet are you from? First of all, Armand should have disabled him and called you, or me, or someone, or just walked away. Costigan wasn't trying to kill him, and Armand is stronger then him. Second? The only reason it wasn't murder was because Donny showed up and stopped him from choking him. You don't get to try to say your inmate trying to kill someone was totally okay because someone happened to hear the fight and stopped it.

And I know why Costigan did it, that's why he's not in Zero. Maybe you should do your job and ask Armand.

I didn't say it would have been okay to kill Billy! But if an Inmate has a knife and stabs you, I think your first instinct would be to fight back not 'oh, hey, could you please pause so I can take the time to whip out my communicator and send out a distress call?'

For the second time, Mr. Grayson, I said that Armand.doesn't.know. What is with the Wardens here withholding information? [And now she's pacing.] It makes me sick, seriously, are we only supposed to care for our Inmates? Because that's bullshit! Help me out here so we can work together and settle this.

No, my first instinct would be to fight back and knock them unconscious, not strangle them. You seriously think it's justifiable for someone to try killing someone who punched you in the face and caused you a minor injury? That's bullshit.

Well, did you bother asking him why he got stabbed, or did you ask if he's done anything that someone might want revenge for? Just curious what bases you've covered. I mean sure, my inmate attacked yours, yours fought back, mine stabbed yours, yours tried to strangle mine, they're both clearly at fault here, but at least Costigan had a reason I support. What's Armand's? Because sorry, "memory loss" and "self defense" don't cover trying to kill someone.

And just to be clear, I could honestly care less about warden harmony right now. Costigan's well being is more important to me then you feeling like I don't care about the guy who tried to kill someone I care about.

Which is what separates Wardens from Inmates. Not every Inmate has a heart of gold or the instinct to react appropriately.

Ohmygod, seriously, Dick? Of course I asked him! He- [And here she stops herself short, looks off to the side in a lightbulb (forgetting it's voice) going off kind of thinking, and pauses to reflect.]

Can you hang on for just one second?

That's still not an excuse. The whole point of being here is to redeem inmates, so forgiving their less than moral actions because "they don't have the instinct to react appropriately" is conterproductive and stupid.

Yeah, I can hang on.

[Comes back.]

Armand honestly has no idea why he was attacked. He doesn't even know it was Costigan.

[Pause a beat.]

Is Billy friends with Molly?

[Theory testing here.]

Not to my knowledge.

Why do you call him Billy?
