1.1.01.01.014: flowers are not to be picked, they are to be enjoyed by everyone.

[Eddie's on camera. He's grinning. This isn't meant to be public, but it isn't. He's on deck, so you can see the stars behind his head, and a greenhouse in one corner.]

Jane! Jane! JANE! [he's raised his voice. Oh no. The camera turns to some flowers - all the colours are overly bright, and quite obviously artificial, to anyone with normal sight. They're incredibly vivid, and might give you a headache if you look too long, but this doesn't seem to bother Eddie too much.]

We got a garden! [He pans across a small few beds of flowers, all in variants of vivid colours - even the leaves are a slightly unnatural green]

Brilliant. I could kiss someone.

[pause, and he realises this is public, so thinks he ought to say something.]

Um. Nobody pick our flowers. They're... there for public enjoyment.

BEST REACTION EVER. - private

An apology? What for?

[also, yes, he IS prefect material, dammit...]

THERE ARE MANY COINCIDECES AT WORK HERE - private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

At the place where I was before I came here. The place... that I think we were at before we came here. I was a Prefect, and I protected a society which did terrible things to people.

I did terrible things to people.

I was an inmate here for two years, but I can see now that what we did was wrong, and... even if you never worked under me personally, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what we did to all of you.

[IS NOT!]

A SPOOKY AMOUNT - private

...If you're a Yellow, you need to be apologising to Jane and not me.

And I'm a Prefect, thank you very much. I haven't... done anything terrible. [yet]

You're a Prefect?

[FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.]

Of course not Comrade.

[Prefect flashes a broad, Factory style grin at you.]

It was a surprise evaluation! I grade you: A+

You are surpassing expected functional levels! Congratulations!

I'm an Alpha Prefect.

[Nervous smile over here,]

A+? Is that towards my feedback scores?

Re: Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

What a coincidence! I'm an Alpha Plus Prefect. It's nice to meet you, Comrade.

[Prefect: Hiding his terror behind a massive, disturbing grin since 2009]

Yes, Comrade, that is towards your feedback!

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Alpha plus? I'm 86% Red, what are you? Are you an Ultraviolet?

Ah, good! I'll have to make a note of it.

You're... pardon me, Comrade? Is this a current trend?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

...No...

Prefects have to have over 75% perception of their colour.

Re: Private

...I do have over 75% perception of color. I have over 75% perception of most things.

You're Previous. I think we may have had a misunderstanding.

I'm not from your world, and you've got no reason to apologise to me.

Re: Private

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Oh thank god, Comrade! Because if you were a Prefect from the Factory then you basically would have just been evil! I was trying to figure out why you weren't an inmate!

Re: Private

...I think most Prefects from my world verge on the side of evil.

Petty evil, perhaps.
