Comrades! Consumers! This week only we're holding a special sale on jet black hair dye! Who needs more than one colour? Who cares for red, or blonde, or brown? When you can have the deep, rich tones of the night sky embedded in your image? Brothers, Sisters, do not allow yourselves to be detained disappointed or deceived into dying your hair whatever Colour is mixed with the shampoo in the communal showers! Reach out, demand, buy with me today, and go back to black!

[Prefect used the stupid shampoo, but Factory regulations only support pink hair if everyone has it, so he dyed it black, and thus will have black hair for a few weeks!]

So let me get this straight-- this is a prison, but inmates are dying each others' hair and you're selling hair dye to solve this problem...

What kind of prison is this?

Well, I didn't sell them the pink hair dye. I'm just responding to market demand.

It's... kind of a strange Prison.

...

Would you like some hair dye, Comrade?

From: [identity profile] no-left-arm.livejournal.com
No. What I'd like is a map out of this place.

Or more information than you seem to be able to give me.

There's not a map out of here. It's a prison, and? You're dead.

Some of the inmates--

...

Look, sometimes? This boat makes port, and we get off at these places, I know that someone suggested to me once that we get off one day and just... don't get back on again. A few of them would be doing it, so you wouldn't be stranded on your own, if you were that desperate to leave.

Now this is useful.

Tell me more about ports. And which inmates are talking about this? I want their names too.

Private

From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
I can't give you their names, Comrade. Confidentiality.

The ports are... varying? Some of them are not so bad, but a lot of them are dangerous, or deadly, and if you fall off the barge into one of them? You forget who you are.

Come on, you can trust me. I'm not going to hunt them down or report them or anything. But if I run across them, it'd be nice to know we're on the same side.

So what you're saying is wait until there's a good port.

From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
No, Comrade. I don't think you'll spread it about, but if someone comes to me in confidence then I can't pass on their name just because you want the same thing.

Well... I don't know that there are any good ports. Wait for one that isn't completely terrible, if you have to do it.

Just one name? One name won't hurt. Come on, man.

What sorts of ports have you stopped at so far?

Private

Comrade, I have a reputation to uphold. I'm not giving you a name.

I could give them yours if you wanted me too, but otherwise? No.

We stopped at one where aliens laid eggs in our stomachs and killed us all, and we stopped at one where there was no colour and everyone rioted, and we stopped at a theme park which wasn't so bad, and we stopped at one where people kept getting turned into things they weren't.

Those are all I can remember.

What if I offered you something in return for the names?

Sorry, Comrade. That's not how it works.

Private

Don't "sorry, Comrade" me! If we're comrades, you'd tell me what you know! I can do more with your information than you can sitting on it. Trust me-- I can make things better for both of us.

Factory regulation E subsection iix under the mitigating circumstances subheading:

Client Confidentiality? To hell with client confidentiality! Tell me what I want and you won't have anything to worry about.

Oh, I'm not worried.

Oh, that's right. Prefect, the "Alpha plus".

I'm going to ask you one more time-- who are these people you mentioned?

Private

The main one? Is a very good friend of mine who has killed an awful lot of people.

You're gonna have to do better than that, Comrade.

Let's try this-

You tell your "clients" that your "Comrade" Arntzen would like to speak to them. You got it?
