Week 1

[After being introduced to their Counselor, the inmates are left to their own devices to explore the open areas of the ship as they please. The counselor's office hours are available if any of the inmates wish to speak to him privately and, throughout the week, the cook and the janitor can be found here and there.

Each morning the inmates are awakened by Dr. Price's voice over the intercoms located in each cell announcing the time as 7 am. Breakfast is served each morning in the mess hall from 7 am to 8 am, lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m..

Enjoy your week, inmates.]

...If I shuffled the box around, I could investigate while standing in it, but it wouldn't be very practical.

[Seriously considering the option of baby jail.]

[toomanybaseballs]

Why is this even an option right now?!

[tenimuho]

Maybe it would make him feel better to arrest me?

[This is legitimately why Oda is seriously considering this, and why he answers that question as if none of this were ridiculous.]

[toomanybaseballs]

... Why?! What the hell did you do since you got here?

[Space Dad Roomie, you're embarrassing him.]

[tenimuho]

Nothing illegal. I don't have any intention of doing anything malicious either.

[Mostly he's been poking around the ship and reading books.]

[toomanybaseballs]

Then why the hell do you want to be arrested in Jail?!

[A beat.]

I can't believe I just said that.

[tenimuho]

I don't. But I wouldn't mind a short box-prison sentence if that would help us get along.

[toomanybaseballs]

[That sounds stupid.]

Alright, if you seriously wanna sit in a box like some kind of cat.

[tenimuho]

...I do like cats.

[heartswapped]

You could always cut out little leg holes...

[tenimuho]

I think being able to move it might defeat the point of a 'jail' anyway.

[heartswapped]

True, but seriously: there's no guards anywhere? Shit, why were we even able to get out of our cells?

I think if we're not in a normal jail, we don't exactly need to go for a normal box jail...

[tenimuho]

That's a very good point. But the box jail is mostly symbolic, so it's different from an actual jail that's a weird jail.

[heartswapped]

[A blink.]

...so you're saying that symbolic jail needs to be more realistic than real jail.

[tenimuho]

Yes. A writer has to be more realistic than real life, because if something happens, no one questions whether or not it could have happened.

[heartswapped]

That...makes a weird amount of sense.

[She's not a writer, but...]

So you mean, even if there's magic and stuff?

[tenimuho]

Yes, even though it's different than what you'd think. Even in a fantasy world, I'd be dubious about a person finding a pot of gold in the middle of a busy street with no one having picked it up before that.
