Mature adults don't say stuff happens for no reason just 'cause it's a reason they don't get!

[ichoosefight]

Mature adults don't try desperately to validate bad reasoning.

[tucky]

Jesus Christ! Are you fucking stupid or do you got cotton in your ears?! I hated that they did that shit! They blew up the kitchens; they blew up the infirmary! People I care about got hurt! And I helped stop fires and heal hurt people and clean up after - where were you?

[That isn't really a fair question - she knows it's very possible that Steph had been helping out, and their paths had just never crossed.]

[ichoosefight]

Unconscious, in the infirmary. I only woke up, like, yesterday. So be mad! Don't waste your time making excuses for a couple of idiots who don't have any to make for themselves!

fff WHOOPS that was my OOC mistake; we'll say Tiffany forgot thanks to hot-headedness

[tucky]

You're not listening to a fucking word I'm saying.

Why are you even here? You don't wanna listen to people. You don't wanna help anybody. You just wanna mock and play around.

aye aye Cap'n

[ichoosefight]

I'm listening, you're just not talking sense. Don't tell me I don't want to help just because I'm not naive enough to think I can do it by wishing really hard.

[tucky]

I got real plans. Unlike the rest of y'all, who just wanna give up 'cause nothing's worth trying.

I ain't making excuses for shit. How many times do I gotta say that I think it was wrong and terrible and cruel before it gets through your thick fucking skull, Steph? Huh? How many times?

[ichoosefight]

It. Was. Childish. Thoughtless. Immature. Juvenile. Infantile. Meaningless.

[tucky]

You're one of the worst kinds of wardens there is. You're the stuck-up kind.

[ichoosefight]

You're the self righteous, babying kind! You're the fucking helicopter mom nobody asked for. I'm sure if you ask real nice the principal will let your slacker babies pass without having to learn mean old fractions. They're just so hard and we don't want the kids to feel stupid, now do we?

[tucky]

Yeah, 'cause everyone's gotta learn what you want 'em to, right Steph? You know best. No thinking for yourself allowed on the Barge, everybody's gotta do what Steph wants.

[ichoosefight]

Oh yeah, that's me! I wrote the curriculum. I actually brought everyone here, because I have power over life and death in the universe!

Get over yourself, Tiffany. You're as trapped and powerless as any inmate. You're not special. People aren't withering away without your understanding and approval. No one gives a crap what you think about them. And the Admiral doesn't give a crap about your plans and ideas! You think you can paint the world how you want it to be, but you're just chalk on a sidewalk. A year from now nobody will care that you ever existed.

cw: extra-graphic language

[tucky]

I don't give a fuck what the Admiral thinks; he can go choke on a dick.

[Her hands ball into fists.]

You don't get anything. I never believed that graduating was brainwashing, but people like you make me think maybe I was wrong about that. This place is fucking awful, and it makes people worse, and you don't even care. You're the fucking child, Steph. Maybe all wardens are shits 'cause we're complicit, but you're extra complicit 'cause you pretend the inmates are the biggest problem. The Admiral brings a bunch of violent dicks up here and tells 'em they can't leave, and sets it up so they feel like they ain't even thought of as people no more, and everybody acts so surprised and offended when those violent dicks get violent? What the fuck do you expect?!

[ichoosefight]

You're not complicit, you're just stupid. You think you can go to war against the Admiral with nothing but wishful thinking. That's why Sylvanas killed you. Everyone knew she was going to do it, the entire goddamned state of Alabama knew she was going to do it, but you thought you could wish your way to a happy ending. Reality check: actions have consequences. You can't handle the innate childishness of a prison riot, you sure as hell can't handle the truth of this place: some people need to be locked up.

[tucky]

Wishful thinking. I got real plans. I just haven't told 'em to you, 'cause I know you ain't interested in making things better.

Nobody needs to be locked up like it's done here. Nobody.

[ichoosefight]

Tough fucking shit. It sure as hell beats the alternative.

[tucky]

Bullshit it does.

You're too used to being a fucking superhero. Thinking you got the superior morality and you can fix everything by beating people up.

[ichoosefight]

[ That actually makes Steph laugh. ]

What, is your entire impression of my life based on Dirty Harry movies?

[tucky]

Nah. It's based on how you talk.

Go take Iris's time machine and help other planets catch the criminals they got. It's better than sending most of 'em here.

[ichoosefight]

You know what's really hilarious? You hate people who think they're always right, but that's you to a tee. At least I know when I'm being a hypocrite.

[tucky]

Thinking you're wrong and full of shit don't mean I think I'm always right. It just means I think you're fucking wrong.

[ichoosefight]

You don't even know what I think! You've got it all ass-fucking-backwards. You don't even understand my opinions when I'm shouting them in my own goddamned living room.

[tucky]

You don't know mine either! I keep telling you and you keep saying I think those bombers are blameless!

[ichoosefight]

You think they're mature. Justified, even.

[tucky]

You used the word justified; I never did. I used a bunch of words that said I didn't think it was justified, but you ignored 'em, 'cause you wanted to throw a tantrum.
