109 - PUBLIC, but kinda aimed at Sam

Comrades why is the Greenhouse locked? I require admittance so that I can fulfill my--

[PAUSE]

Job. Of Gardening.

Look, the garden's locked for a reason. Nobody should be going in there unsupervised.

Edited 2010-09-05 22:47 (UTC)

Why? Is there something dangerous in there that you never told me about?

What? No, of course-- Prefect. It's the Barge. Even if you're not gonna cause any trouble, it doesn't mean somebody else won't. I can't let you have unsupervised garden time.

I would lock the door behind me. Besides if recent events are anything to go by, the presence of Armand is not a great deterrent to troublemakers.

You used to let me take inventory by myself.

It doesn't have to be Armand. I'll put in a request to the others and see where the key is, alright?

Why don't you do it yourself?

[BUT I DON'T WANNA.]

If it's me, then I set the hours.

What hours would you set and how negotiable would they be?

I'm not going earlier than five in the morning, for starters.

Counteroffer: Three in the morning.

...you should be sleeping at three.

I'm an early riser, Comrade.

What time do you turn in?

[HMMMM WHAT WOULD SOUND REASONABLE] Usually around half past nine in the evening.

[SLIGHTLY REASONABLE.]

Well, I don't call it a night 'til a good few hours after that, so. Five. Or we find a warden who's awake at three.

Counteroffer 2: Instead of having the entire garden locked, how about the system is altered, so that dangerous tools are locked away, but the garden on the whole is accessible. So, I could get up at three am and do things that don't require an inordinate amount of work, such as watering and weeding, and then at five you could come and unlock potentially dangerous tools and I could commence the more taxing portion of the gardening.

Right, and what about dangerous plants?

[PAUSE, and when Prefect speaks again it's PRETTY CLEAR that he thinks you're crazy :c]

Comrade, plants aren't dangerous. They don't do anything, they just sit there.

[PREFECT.]

I'm talking about poisonous plants, Prefect.

Is that how the murder was committed? I wasn't aware we had any poisonous plants.

Nevermind, I-- Look. I'll get the key. Five in the morning. I'm not comin' out a minute earlier.

It wasn't a poison plant murder, was it? Because we don't have any poisonous plants and you're just going to prevent me from gardening in my own time.

I never said it was!

Brother, all I am saying is that if we had access to poisonous plants, people wouldn't be killing each other with wheelbarrows.

That's... great, Prefect. Great, fantastic, I'm glad you came to that conclusion.
