71 - Drunk but hiding it quite well.

Brothers, Sisters, how much do you think happens in a year? I mean, things-- things just pass you by, don't they? Even if a celebrity dies it's only news for a few weeks, a month and a half at the most and then everyone's distracted by whatever else is happening. Once they've been dead for a whole year? It's like, a completely different world. Everything's changed. Even if they were still alive everything would be different and so would they be.

They'd be forever confined to a separate dimension of "when they were famous", and "best of the 20's", and they'd only ever get work as a novelty act.

A years a really long time in the real world. You miss it and then its just gone. Ater a year you're all rotted away anyway. Comrades, Consumers, consider the concept of "vintage".

Or... something.

[GUESS WHO'S BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR]

Private - He can't bring himself to say it.

..I don't know whether to celebrate it or apologize.

Nothing to celebrate about, and nothing for you to apologize for. Everyone dies, Comrade. I should be used to this place by now.

I'm okay, Comrade. I'm already sort of drunk.
grayatonement: (downward glance)

Private - He's all wounded from Prefect's not wanting him around anymore.

...

All right.

Private - It's not that, it's just that Prefect has a crate of Gin in his room.
