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

[buywithme]

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.

Aww Harvey! Your concern is most adorable!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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.

Aand now he's annoyed at stupid Sam.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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

Prefect kind of loves you now Harvey <3

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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.

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

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

How convienent.

Do you want me to talk to him?

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

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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.

xD Harv just is in super protective mode.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

Fine then, if you say so.

You're welcome.

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

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I am. Thank you again though, for offering.

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

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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

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

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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?

YAY. Strikes readable if you try hard enough.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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.

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

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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...

Good little robot?

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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.

In the Prefect, Scar quality olympics?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Good idea!

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

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

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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

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

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

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?

Oh Prefect, you robot you.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

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?

His robot brain is powering up the curiosity section!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[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...

Private - Cause Harv's paranoid.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

I used to work as the District Attorney for Gotham, where I used to live. One day, these corrupt cops kidnapped me. They put me in a warehouse filled with oil. Also, they put a phone rigged to explosives in there. I could talk to my fiancee, who was in another warehouse with oil. I tried to get free, but ended up soaking half my face in oil. They were supposed to save her...but he came into my warehouse and saved me instead. Then, when we both were out of the warehouse it exploded. Rachel...she died. A spark caught my face on fire. At the hospital, they said they could put skin grafts on my face to fix it up. I didn't want them to. My face stayed the way it was.

...and that's how I got my scar.

Private - And Prefect is a bit distraught now.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

...I...

...

Comrade, I'm sorry.

Why did you decide not to get the skin grafts?

Private - Sorry!

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

Back in Internal Affairs, they had a nickname for me: Harvey Two-Face. Why should I hide what I really am?

Private - BAAAWWWWWWW XD

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

...

But Comrade, if you don't hide it, then surely you're not actually two faced?

Private - Is he now a worried little robot?

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure now. It made sense then. Everybody expected me to be this good little Boy Scout of a lawyer. Harvey Dent, Gotham's 'White Knight'. However...I did some rash things. I made some decisions that I didn't want people to know about. I got angry easily. It showed. Now...I'm not really like my old self at all.

Private - He is! Poor big sorta scary big brother Prefect never had!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Do you regret not getting it fixed? Now that you're not like that?

...How did you change so much?

Private - Sorry for freaking you our little brother. =<

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

I don't. It helps me remember what I needed to do. They needed to pay. The mob, the corrupt cops, the people who did this to me. It helped me remember my mission and just who was to blame.

...I heard Rachel die. I heard her last words. Then, I was killed by somebody who used to be a 'friend', in the loosest sense of the word.

Private - You should be! Nothing on the Barge normally commits this heinous crime!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry Comrade, I don't think I could ever do that...

Why did your friend kill you?
