1.1.01.01.031: vulgar mispronunciations.

[needshumility]

Uh...

My item seems to be... malfunctioning?

I've acquired someone else's inmate. And lost Victor.

How... Was I doing a bad job? I wasn't doing a bad job. I wasn't complacent or...

Munsell in a canoe, what is this?

[Private to Sveta]

Petronilla's your inmate, right?

She seems to be on my item.

...What should I do? I don't think I've ever talked to her before.

[Private to Petronilla]

Hello! I'm Eddie Russett, and I'm not quite sure what's happened. I think it's an accident, as I definitely don't have your file or anything, but you seem to be my inmate.

Or at least, seem to be on my item. If you need anything, ask... actually, perhaps we could meet. Perhaps we should.

[Private to Victor]

I don't know what's going off, but keep in touch.

[Private to Jane]

Ugh, this makes no sense.

I just want to get Limed tonight. Is that bad?

I appear to have been removed as Mr. Spinola's warden as well. I don't understand it at all.

And I think I may have eaten something disagreeable.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Have you got someone else instead?

Why? Are you alright?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Mr. Slater. Have you seen him?

I just feel terribly woozy.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

No, I've been busy looking for Petronilla. I really need to find her.

Should I get you some water?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

She's not very sociable.

No. No. I'll just...push through. I usually have a stronger constitution than this.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I definitely need to... sort this out.

Alright, but if you don't feel better soon, get some help.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I do as well. I hope his door hasn't become stuck again...

...Have you just suggested I see a doctor?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

George. I know if you're ill you go and see a doctor, a swatchman. No matter what else I think, I know they're the only people capable of knowing what's wrong.

[Private]

You just have to be very, very cautious about what you tell them and what you take from them. You can see them without trusting them.

Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

But I do trust them.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Then you're only putting yourself at risk. I can't tell you not to.

But if you're sick, you should find out why, that's the point.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I will do if it becomes worse.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Look after yourself. I'll send Mr Slater in your direction if I see him.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

And Mr. Spinola as well, perhaps.

I just can't believe I failed him.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Me neither. I don't know what I've done wrong.

Narvin thinks it's a joke. It's not a very funny one.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I was a bit sharp with him last night, but I don't think I was out of line in being so...

It isn't funny at all.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

And I... Some of the doctors seem to think I'm making him suffer or patronising him and that's not how it is at all, I just want him to be safe and...

I thought I was doing a good job, though. He was getting better about the way he talked to people and he was even thinking about his creature and how...

Oh, I don't know.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

He has a creature? Is it a monkey?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

...No. It's a bit more complicated than...

Maybe it's the privacy thing

I'm not sure I should be sharing that, actually.

Now I wish I could talk to him about and... oh, this is awkward.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

A complicated...private monkey...

It's terribly awkward.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

It's not a monkey. He made it. That's... really the most I should say.

I think.

Maybe. He's not even my inmate any more.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No, it's quite good of you to think of him.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I hope I get him back.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I did feel Mr. Spinola and I made a good team, but if I truly wasn't helping him...

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we ought to look at where we could do better, then we might get them back. Maybe that's the idea.

Re: Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I don't know that that's particularly kind to our new assignments.
