You know, this all sounds really familiar. Where have I heard this kind of pointless infighting and self-righteous fingerpointing before? Oh, I remember. The White Council. No wonder it feels just like home.

You kids all play nice, now, and enjoy ripping each other to shreds. I have a potion to clean off my ceiling.

Hey--you up for a beer?

Sign me up.

...You do realize this isn't going to make you many friends, right?

Probably not, but I'm kind of tired of the implication that we're all incompetent morons. We're doing our best, here, and things are going to slip. It's the nature of the beast.

Yeah, me too. I mean, there are plenty of wardens who aren't doing their jobs, but they're not going to pay attention to these posts anyway. I don't love feeling like I'm being attacked for not being able to be everywhere keeping track of everything all the time. It's hard enough getting my inmate to respect me, I don't need to feel like I have to prove myself to the other wardens, too.

No kidding. I'm walking a fine line between keeping tabs on my inmate, and giving her space. So far, she hasn't violated my trust, but if something happens, I know everyone's going to be asking "Well, where were you?" I was right here? Trying to foster trust!

Yeah, exactly. Never mind that my last inmate lied to me for two months about having amnesia--exactly how are we supposed to know when they're lying to us? There was no way Una could have known O'Brien was lying the way he was either. It's just--a mess.

It really is.

So, about that beer. There's this place back home called McAnally's Pub. He makes his own beer. I think I have a couple of bottles. Or if that fails, we drink the inferior stuff at the pub.

I'll be honest--I don't do too much drinking, so it miiight be better if we keep it to your place, if you don't mind sharing your good stuff.

I don't mind at all! I'll be here, scraping potion off my ceiling, whenever you want to come by.

Awesome! I'll be right down.

...Though now that you mention it, how did the potion get on your ceiling?

...Don't ask. Just... don't ask.

Too much quicksilver again?

Something like that. Different ingredients, but similar results.

[Laughing] Still working on that wakefulness one?

Yeah. I mean--it would be handy to have around if I needed it, right? I just... can't seem to get the balance right.

Yeah, it would. ...What happens when it wears off, anyway? Do you pay for all that time awake by passing out for a few days?

Well, for a day, anyway--yeah. Generally I'd rather drink Red Bull or something, but if I absolutely had to stay awake for a full day, it would be good to have around.

It's probably more reliable than Red Bull anyway... when it's not all over your ceiling.

Yes--I hope. Though I really have no idea how it tastes.

If it exploded all over your ceiling, I wouldn't advise trying to taste it.

...Yeah. I'd rather not find out too late that the failed version is toxic.
