buywithme | 27 - WHO LOVES FACTORY ANNOUNCEMENTS? PREFECT LOVES FACTORY ANNOUNCEMENTS :D

Comrades! Consumers!

Are you feeling the sting of loss in your life? The desperate cravings of inadequacy? Has your warden cut you off from something you long for and miss, or your inmate made it impossible to enjoy one of your former pleasures? Brothers, sisters, such times sting all of us at some point, but let these losses not deter us from our purer functions! Let them not drive us into states of brooding disapproval or let us search for an unmatchable fulfillment in our own souls! No, for doing this will only drag us deeper into the mindless quagmire of our own stinging loss! Comrades, instead let us ask ourselves why? What would really cure this pain? Not sitting alone in our rooms, nor distracting ourselves with the idle pleasures of company, NO Comrades! Do not be fooled by the blithe bragging of snake oil salesmen promising you gain through loss! Don't listen to the clamoring priests and evangelicals of loneliness and self indulgence! Comrades, the ache of loss is a physical manifestation of your own, wounded being, and can only be solved by the glorious deliverance of commerce!

Of products, Comrades!

It is in this spirit of hope that the Factory is forced to announce a brief intermission of access to our current stock. Know that we too feel the absence of that which we are cut off from, and that we will be there in sympathy and availability in your own times of hardship! Please direct any and all orders to our on site staff, who will endeavor to provide the very best of service even through this difficult period.

Comrades, believe always in strength through commerce! Through the bonds of the corporate family we are made whole, If you can not buy with me today, buy with me tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, once more unto the breach, and onto every breach!

~~Amen.~~

Just make sure that you don't give certain people certain things. We don't want another death on the Barge.

...

No, we don't. Of course.

...

What's wrong?

...oh. You were the one who died earlier, weren't you?

...

Yes.

Sorry. I didn't know.

It's okay Comrade. I'm fine now, no one got hurt in the long run!

But what if you didn't get brought back? Have you ever thought of that?

But Comrade, I did get brought back! Sam remembered me this time! I was only gone for a few hours, and I'm okay now.

This time? Don't tell me he forgot you before.

Yeah, he forgot me for a few days after that port with the aliens, but he doesn't remember any of that. He went away for a bit and when he came back he didn't remember ever being here.

How convienent.

Do you want me to talk to him?

I don't think he'd know what you were talking about Comrade. Besides it was a while ago now.

...Thank you for offering though.

Fine then, if you say so.

You're welcome.

I am. Thank you again though, for offering.

...so, aside from what we just talked about, how are you doing?

I'm all right. Sam's making me share his cabin while he "processes" my room, but aside from the obvious everything's been quiet.

How about you Comrade?

I bet that's fun.

I'm fine. My warden is doing some actual wardening which feels pretty strange. ~~The Master almost did something to my head.~~ I enjoyed a bit of peace and quiet during that bit after port. Be thankful for small miracles, I guess.

He doesn't have many things, I've already cataloged and alphabetized all of his possessions.

Who's your Warden Comrade? What's he like? I'm glad to hear you've not had any trouble Harvey, I guess with people locked up things got a little quieter here for the week...

Well if you're still bored, sort them by color or something like that.

Ah, my warden's Jack. Not one of the 'Captain Jack's, just Jack. He's a bit quiet, at least when compared to others here. He knows how to make soap and he also has an interesting scar.

Good idea!

Jack? I don't think I've met him, but I can't imagine him having a more interesting scar than yours!

Ah...thanks? I've never really thought about it as 'interesting' before.

Well, not interesting like a literary thesis on the development of vocal pattens of the different grades of employee, more... Interesting like something I've never seen before.

~~How did you get it Comrade?~~

I guess when you look at it like that it is kind of interesting. I could have got it fixed, but I chose not to.

~~Do you really want to know?~~

[There's a long pause before this is written while he thinks about how to reply]

Would you mind telling me? I don't want to be intrusive if it's private...

no subject

1/2 - And happy Prefect is gone all of a sudden :c

2/2

Observant Harv is observant (and slightly out of the loop)

Aww, keen eyes there Mr Dent!

Now he feels bad about himself.

Oh Harv! Prefect DENIES YOUR GUILT!

That still won't make him stop feeling bad.

Aww Harvey! Your concern is most adorable!

Aand now he's annoyed at stupid Sam.

Prefect kind of loves you now Harvey <3

Aww! <3 Harv's like the slightly scary big brother Prefect never had.

HE REALLY IS! Prefect finds this both slightly disconcerting, and oddly comforting.

xD Harv just is in super protective mode.

And despite the fact that Prefect will never actually say it, he' really grateful that you care <3

AAH HE'S SO CUTE I CAN'T STAND IT. <3

He practices in front of a mirror JUST FOR YOU HARVEY <3

YAY. Strikes readable if you try hard enough.

If Prefect sees crossed out things he assumes that he's not meant to read them, so he doesn't :c

Good little robot?

In the Prefect, Scar quality olympics?

Harv is not sure whether he should be scared or happy. xD

A little of both is probably a good idea, Prefect's trying to be nice, but he's kind of an idiot!

Oh Prefect, you robot you.

His robot brain is powering up the curiosity section!
