52 - Voice - Something's changed

[ichoosefight]

[ Warden Filter ]

So uh, who all has had their inmate switched without warning? Just curious.

[ Private to Blonsky ]

I'm not sure why, but... I guess I'm not your warden anymore. But you know you can still talk to me if you ever want to, right?

[ Private to Self ]

At least it wasn't on my birthday.

Switched or the Inmate left?

Warden Filter

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Switched. Or I guess 'taken away' might be a more apt description.

Re: Warden Filter

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

And you have no idea why?

Warden Filter

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I was hoping for a little insight in that area, yeah.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Happy birthday. I know I'm a little late.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Hah. Thanks. You remembered.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Sometimes I do that.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Apparently. I can't help but notice a lack of you bringing me cake to repent for waiting so long to say it.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

You didn't get a cake?

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I did, nope.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Did you celebrate at all?

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had a little party with Claire.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

That's it? I thought you'd have wanted something bigger.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

On the barge? I wouldn't dare ask for it. I'm just glad nobody died on my birthday. And the Admiral even gave me time off, apparently.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Is that a good thing? [The switching inmates, he means.]

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Not really? I thought we were doing well. Slowly, but well.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

I'm sorry.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I don't get it. Why the sudden change?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

I don't know. It happens, sometimes.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

For no reason? I didn't like, do something wrong or anything?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

I doubt it. You know how the Admiral can be. I'm sure you'll get stories of this happening to other people.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're probably right... I guess I'll have a lot more free time now.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Until you get reassigned, anyway.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess so. Apparently I have time to bake myself a birthday cake.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

You can't do that.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

My cooking isn't that bad.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

No, I mean you can't make your own birthday cake.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

What, are you planning on making it?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

I could.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

That's very enlightening.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Give me a couple hours.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You're kidding. You're seriously baking me a birthday cake?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

...It's your birthday.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You're a little late.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Well it'll be a belated birthday cake.

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Alright, if you're sure. But prepare yourself for a big hug.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

I might be able to tolerate it.

[He wants the distraction from recent crap, anyway.]

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You're the best, Tim.

[Private] Assume or spam?

[peektuttut]

I try.

[Private] Assume for maximum harmony!

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Warden filter.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

What happened??

Warden filter.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Nothing, except that according to my warden item, I don't have an inmate.

Warden filter.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

But...I thought you two were making progress? Do you know why?

Warden filter.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

We were! That's what's so weird about it. I was hoping somebody else might be able to offer some insight.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

That...that makes no sense.

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

That's what I said! But it's true.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

...how odd. Well, it was nice being your inmate while we were paired.

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It was nice being your warden. You're a good guy, despite everything. I hope you get paired again soon.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

Knowing this place, I probably will.

So, does this mean I get to complain to you if my new warden's a dick?

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She laughs. ]

Sure, but you know I'm going to be reasonable.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

What, so you're not going to take my side no matter what? That hurts, Steph.

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yes, because not being your warden means our relationship is magically going to change. You still get to be wrong sometimes.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

Dammit Steph, that's really not what I was expecting.

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Sorry to disappoint, but I'll always be the Steph you know and love.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

Goddammit.

[Yeah, you can pretty much hear the slight smile in his words.]
