1.1.01.01.009: speech is to be kept at a polite volume.

[needshumility]

If you met my dad?

I've got nothing to apologise for, or be angry about, or curse his name for. I just hope you liked him. He's a good Swatchman.

[Warden filter, minus infirmary staff, and Narvin.]

A certain... recent incidents have made me wonder something.

Does anyone come from a world where it's acceptable to kill others if they're going to die a potentially long, drawn out, horrific death? By which I mean kill using medicinal means, with given permission and consent. Not just... using a instant-kill-gun and shooting them.

Also, I will consider anyone who informs my inmate that I asked this question as officially undermining my position.

On another note, does anyone have an inmate who's left and then returned?

[Private to Jane]

Do not mention the Green Room. Especially to Victor.

Also, Scarlet Pimpernel?

[Private to Victor]

Alright. Let's discuss Rex.

[Private to Rex]

Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about Victor?

[Coma-investigation Filter]

I'm working on a questionnaire right now. I'll have something ready very soon. Looks like we need it.

Warden minus other people filter

[hopeless-hacker.livejournal.com]

Euthanasia? It's legal in a handful of countries in my world and done under the table in a number of others, but 'acceptable' would depend on who you talk to. It's a bit of a...morally contentious subject.

Re: Warden minus other people filter

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

So it's a debatable concept in your world?

[He scribbles down euthanasia for later reference.]

But a common enough idea to have a specific term? Hm.

Warden etc. filter

[hopeless-hacker.livejournal.com]

Very much so. This is a bit of a broad-strokes description, but the argument goes that either it's murder and denies any sort of hope for the patient's future, or it's a charitable act intended to give someone some dignity and control in the end stages of a painful illness. I'm sure there are books about it all in the library if you want to find out more.

Re: Warden etc. filter

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I actually don't need to read much about the concept, but thank you anyway.

I just wondered how commonplace it was, and where.

Do you, personally, find it morally objectionable? You don't have to answer.

~NO FILTERS~

[requiresssacrifice]

Not over the network.

Re: ~NO FILTERS~

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

In person, then. I think it'd be preferable.

Re: ~NO FILTERS~

[requiresssacrifice]

Fine. I'll be in the common room on the first floor.

Re: ~NO FILTERS~

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I'll be there shortly.

Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Why not?

And fine. Is it better than Scarlet Letter?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

You have to be very, very careful with him and death. He... views it differently to us, and I don't think it's a bad thing, just different.

It has adventure, and sword fights and rescuing people.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Well, that's fine. But...can I not mention it at all?

You're starting to get predictable with your books. Not that I mind.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I... I want them to trust me in the infirmary. And if what Toshiko says is true of all the Previous?

They might not want me there if they know that.

I'll admit, I'm just picking things with colours in the title. I've found one for you, but I'll save that for next week.

Coma Filter

[strangehistorian]

Oh, good! Someone proposed to me recently it might have something to do with astrological events or worlds that we pass over, not unlike floods.

Re: Coma Filter

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that affect more than one person at a time, though?

Coma Filter

[strangehistorian]

I don't know. We can't rule anything out, though.

Re: Coma Filter

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

No, we can't, but I'm not sure... how that works.

Warden, less some Filter

[goodgrasshopper]

My world is similar to Toshiko's. Legal in some places, and not in others, and an extremely debatable topic.

Re: Warden, less some Filter

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I see. Do people in the places where it's not know that it's legal in other places?

Warden, less some Filter

[goodgrasshopper]

Television news and the internet make the world a pretty small place--they do know, yes.

[Private]

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

I do not wish to discuss that loathsome creature.

Re: [Private]

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for you, I do.

And he's got a name. Use it.

[Private]

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

I do not wish to discuss Rex. Could we not perform the steak experiment instead?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

He seemed more functional than many of the other parents.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I couldn't possibly comment. He's certainly a good dad, though.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

If you say so. What's a Swatchman?
