Public Rite On Schedule (A Prison Story)

[Zari Daal]

Zari clenched his jaw as he watched Shiri walk away. He sighed and spent a few moments pulling his lekku from their wraps, his brain still spinning from their chat.

She had always been very domineering over him, and now he was stuck in here with her. If she had plans to break out, he had no doubts she was going to pull him into her schemes.

And I have no doubt that I'll let her.

He sighed and walked to put up his weights, feeling even more trapped than he had prior to his cousin's arrival. She would be one more problem to be wary of. Zari was not sure he could handle more on his plate.

Speaking of plates….he probably had enough time to squeeze in a meal before he was called back to the work rooms.

He jogged across the yard, making sure to keep clear of Shiri.

 

[Sabé Anres]

The Chief Warden gave a sideways nod as the droid explained her color choice, once again giving her response of 'to each their own', but this time non-verbally.

Her focus returned to the holovids and her caf once the droid began to point certain guards out. She took a small sip, almost giving the look of someone that was indifferent to the suggestion of guards that had the potential to betray their orders. However that could not be further from the truth as she was in fact paying very close attention.

The droid's observations were accompanied by questions; ones that the Chief Warden was sure to answer. In time.

"Should they falter from their duties, they are swiftly demoted. If they wish to collude with the prisoners, then they will join them. I am not concerned with using them to gain moles for--" the Chief Warden pasued for a moment, giving forth a small hint of a smile. "--I already have some of those." Just how many moles she had, she did not divulge. Yet there was little doubt that the droid would be able to discern that for herself in a short time.

"Keeping to a strict schedule is what works well for us here. Having quotas gives everyone a goal to accomplish."

A glint of light caught her eye in amongst the holovid feeds. There was something glinting in Zari Daal 's cell. If that is what she thinks it is, then that prisoner was a thief. Resorting to such crimes in her facility was not going to be tolerated.

Yet before she could speak up about it, a message from one of her guards outside of her office door sent a message. It popped up on her datapad that sat on top of her desk, indicating that a new recruit had arrived for his appointment. Early. She quickly typed out a reply with one hand as her other still held her caf. ~I will see him at his designated scheduled time. And not a minute sooner.~

"I have another appointment to keep. We can continue this later this evening."

[Skyler Wren]

​

Tort, it appeared to Skyler as he walked alongside the big man, commanded respect from the other inmates, as they would move out of his way or altogether refuse to make eye contact with him. "You must be some big shot in her, bunkie," Skyler said when another group spilt apart to allow them to pass. Tork was leading him to where the Mandos hung out in the section, and in return for helping Skyler, he wanted a favor owed later. Naturally, Skyler agreed.

"Nah, my friend," Tort replied, his eyes never wavering from the crowds of inmates, "I'm no big shot, I just don't tolerate bullshit. And you should follow that advice, Skyler, because there are two types of inmates in here. Those that are prey, and those that are predators. You want to be a predator. You will be challenged, with or without the backing of your kind. Ah, there."

Skyler looked to where the big man was pointing, seeing a group of eight Mandos loitering about the recreation area. They seemed to be interested on the holonews being broadcasted over the massive screen that was attached to the wall, out of reach to the inmates and encased in a glass protective cover to prevent being damaged by hurling objects. Skyler thanked Tort, moving toward the gathered men.

A man whose size matched that off his roommate, watched Skyler move toward them; his eyes briefly catching a glimpse of the inkwork on his arm, and nodded to the others. "You have the scent of fresh meat, vod," the big man said, whilst the others gathered around Skyler. "I just got out of the shower," Skyler rebutted. The big man gave a slight chuckle, followed by the others. Clearly the big guy was the boss of this lot. "Whatcha in for, Joker," the man returned, adding a nickname for Skyler.

"Murder and conspiracy to commit murder," he answered. The big man extended his hand saying, "Name is Vex. I'm in charge of our group, and there are more scattered about. Welcome home, Joker."
