016 - Private to Harvey!

[buywithme]

Mr Dent!

You're a professional aren't you? I need someone to perform a product evaluation for me too make sure I'm functioning up to the Factory's standard.

I'd reimburse you for your time of course.

And now it's time to creep Harvey out!

[ Harvey scribbled down the measurements. How did he know all these things off the top of his head? Granted, Harvey knew his blood type but his shirt size? He always forgot things like that. Then, he proceeded to the next questions. Would you consider the subject an optimist or a pessimist? Frankly, Harvey thought that it all depended on who was buying. Still, there wasn't a slot. Also, he didn't know Prefect as well as he knew other people on the boat. Digging into his pocket, he pulled out his coin. Heads optimist, tails pessimist. He flipped.

Tails. Prefect was a pessimist. Scratching in that answer, he moved on to the next question. Does the subject have a bright, clean smile? Do you find the subject physically attractive? Harvey looked confused, as he flipped through the survey again. Some of these questions were...frankly, kind of odd. ]

Ah, Prefect? I'm straight. I'm not going to find you... [he checked back at the evaluation] I'm not going to find you physically attractive or anything of the like.

Prefect says BE MORE PROFESSIONAL!

[Prefects eyes went pleading for a split second before he responded. He really wanted to do well in his evaluation, regardless of Harvey's sexual inclinations!]

Comrade, you just have to try and think about whether or not I would be attractive if you could be attracted to someone of my gender! For example, I'm not interested in you in the slightest, but I can recognize at least fifty percent of you, maybe a little more, as extremely attractive!

Harv is still weirded out!

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Prefect's comment took Harvey by surprise. Fifty percent of him was extremely attractive? Wow. Was he being sarcastic or serious? Instantly, Harvey thought of his face. That would explain the fifty percent. Still...Prefect didn't seem sarcastic. ]

Well...okay.

[ Looking back at the checklist, Harvey reread the questions. Prefect did have a nice smile. And...he guessed that Prefect was fairly attractive. At least, he wasn't ugly or anything of the like. He didn't have scars. Harv scribbled down his answer, then looked back at Prefect. Does the subject have any visible piercings? ]

This is a really weird evaluation.

Prefect insists he check EVERYWHERE for piercing.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect had f course been completely sincere in his evaluation of Harvey's attractiveness. He resisted the urge to peer over the sheets to see how he was doing as he fell quiet again. Instead he managed to hold still and wait for Harvey to continue. Prefect gave Harvey a mild glance at his last comment.]

It's the standard issue Factory Alpha product evaluation form.

[He didn't think it was weird.]

Harv says NO WAY, JOSE.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey shrugged at Prefect's response. He turned back to the survey, scribbling in various answers. Had he talked to Prefect before? Not really. He-oh wait. Harvey was instantly reminded of that time a while back ago, when Sam was still missing. He winced slightly. He really hadn't been that nice to Prefect, basically leaving him to Joker. ]

Hey...I'm sorry about what happened last time when we met. You know, when Sam was gone and Joker and I barged in your room and...yeah.

[ Prefect was actually alright. He was slightly weird, but alright. Harv felt a bit of regret. ]

PREFECT SAYS HE'S BEING UN-THOROUGH D:

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect nodded sagely as he recalled the event]

You hit me over the head with a screw driver. Don't worry about it Comrade.

[Prefect smiled brightly. He wasn't particularly dedicated to holding his grudges, worse people had done worse things to him, and now Harvey was helping him with his Evaluation, and that was a good thing! Yes, Prefect quite liked Harvey. A thought occurred to him at that moment,]

By the way, what would you like in exchange for doing this for me?

Harv wants to know if you want Joker to do the evaluation instead.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Oh yeah...he still had that screw driver. It was hidden under his bed somewhere. He lightly bit his lip, looking over the evaluation again. Are the subject's sales proposals enticing and occering at regular intervals? Yes. Does the subject have what others want? Well, there were times when Prefect had to ask around, right? Still, he always had things. Yes. Does the product let personal feelings interfere with business? Obviously no, as they were still talking right now. ]

I have no idea. I don't think I really need anything at the moment. [A pause.] What do you have?

Prefect says no sir D:

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect smiled again, he had PLENTY OF STOCK If Harvey didn't have anything specific in mind! He mentally calculated the first three boxes.]

Well, I have Aerobics cd's, Anglican bibles, Aviator goggles, Afro combs, astronomy text books, automated vegetable peelers, Bulbs for assorted flowers and vegetables, bulbs for lights...

[That reminded him of something else he had]

Three heat lamps which I no longer need....

[He could go on and on. and he would If Harvey was prepared to keep listening.]

Yeah, that's what Harv thought.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Frowning slightly, Harv stopped evaluating. Prefect could go on forever if he so choose. Harv personally didn't want to spend the rest of the evening with Prefect rattling off everything under the sun and him just nodding and taking measurements. ]

How about a suit? Do you have anything remotely in my size?

[ He wanted some new clothes. Ever since he got on the boat, he had been wearing the same clothes in his closet over and over again. They were getting a little threadbare, especially his favorite suit. ]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect paused. Contemplating.]

I don't have a full suit. I have shirts, ties and underwear, but I don't have a full suit.

[There's a beat, and he smiles suddenly.]

I could make one for you if you got me the fabric though.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey brightened up a bit, smiling at Prefect. Get some fabric for the suit? He could do that. There would have to be some fabric on this boat. Though, it was a bit odd to him that Prefect wouldn't have a full suit. ]

Fabric should be easy. I'll get some.

[ He scribbled down a few more answers on the evaluation. He was almost done. Just a few more questions... ]

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect offered Harvey a broad smile as they continued the Evaluation]

I'll take your measurements once we're done here Comrade. Is there a particular style you'd like it in?

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey shrugged. ]

Whatever you can do best and do most comfortably.

[ He turned back to the questionnaire, reading over the questions. Does the subject have suicidal tendencies...he honestly didn't know. Prefect hadn't seemed like he wanted to kill himself. He looked Prefect over, trying to come up with an answer.

...god, that chest was distracting him. Harvey quickly checked in 'no', then looked back at the examination. A few more checks...some thinking...a few more checks... ]

Done. [Harvey handed the survey to Prefect.] There we go, here's your examination.

Prefects chest = MOAST DISTRACTING CHEST ON THE BARGE, Y/Y?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect grabs the survey excitedly and looks over the pages with an expression which approaches anxiety, he flicks over the pages, clearly taking in all his perceived flaws. His brow furrows as he goes down the list,]

I'm a pessimist... I'll have to work on that...

[After a minute he looks up again, and gives Harvey a look of pure happiness, he obviously passed inspection!]

Thank you so much Comrade! I'll get the measuring tape now!

[Tossing the survey cheerilly onto his desk, Prefect makes a bee line for one of the boxes, still in nothing but his underwear.]

Y. TOTAL Y.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey managed a faint smile at Prefect. He was so happy. Obviously this inspection meant a lot to him. Harvey could only hope that he did his best-Prefect was okay. He didn't want to screw the man over or anything like that. ]

No problem.

[ And there was Prefect, making a practically naked beeline for the nearest box. Harv closed his eyes, trying to repress the faint urges of a blush. This had just gotten insanely more awkward than before. ]

Just, put some clothes on first. Alright?

Gaze upon its wonders! AND LET ME KEEP USING MY SHIRTLESS ICONS!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect completely misses Harvey's awkwardness, and cheerily retrieves the measuring tape before coming back quickly, stopping directly before the horribly burned man.]

That's all right Comrade, I'm not cold!

[Prefect smiles and un-spools the tape, drawing it out in front of Harvey suddenly, measuring the distance between his shoulders. It's kind of a strange way of doing it, one which avoids any and all physical contact.]

xD Okay, you can keep using the shirtless icons.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey resisted the urge to ask just how Prefect couldn't be cold. He was just wearing underwear. He had to be cold. Instead, he watched as Prefect brought the tape measurer a few inches from his shoulders. No physical contact. After getting his shoulders measured, Harvey stuck his arms out. Prefect needed to measure his arm length, right? ]

It's like a reward for us both!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Prefect needed to measure a lot of things! Arm length was another good one. Again, this involved Prefect getting the tape at a slightly awkward angle, and pulling it out to the tip of Harvey's wrist, without making physical contact. Then moving to quickly whip it round Harveys back and watching the other end to measure the other inmates bust. This had to involve some touching, but he kept it to a minimum, not wanting to encourage that sort of thing.]

Yes!

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ As Prefect measured his body, Harvey just stood perfectly still, letting the man measure everything he needed to. Prefect would tell him when this was over. What he could do right now was just stand still and let the man get and record his measurements. ]

:D

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Almost done! Prefect knelt down and moved to measure up the outside of Harvey's leg, then the inside, then he straightened up and offered another grin.]

Right, I'll need three meters of suit fabric to make it, and if you can find it, three meters of lining material for the inside, then I can have it to you in a week!

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

[ Harvey made a mental note. Three meters of suit fabric and three meters of lining. Alright. He could find that. He had no clue how the hell he could find it, but this was the barge. If Prefect could find head lamps he sure as hell could find six meters of fabric. ]

Understood.

[ Harvey nodded at Prefect, then turned towards the door. He stopped, hand on the doorknob, just before he was about to go out. He turned to Prefect, nodding slightly. ]

See you around.

[ With that, Harvey opened the door and left Prefect's room. ]
