I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

[ Private to David ]

Still grounded, kiddo?

[ Private to Drake ]

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

I'm guardian to my cousin Penny.

Ever use the things you learn to help your inmate?

He doesn't own quite as many shoes. And I don't believe I'll have to worry about him sneaking off to be with a boy.

But I did learn quite a lot when I was personal guard to his Majesty Prince Alfred, and I am prepared to tackle someone should it be required regardless of their status.

Well, there's Elric, but he left. Then there's Marco, and I got along okay with that Wanda girl.

I talked to her, she seems nice. That's really all you've got?

Oh, and Dracula.

Not exactly. But I guess you've got a point, about it helpin' with being a warden.

[Warden Filter]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It gives you experience being responsible for someone, I guess.

[Warden Filter]

[knowsthepeople]

Probably. How many kids do you have?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Costigan's successfully convinced me never to have kids, if that's what you mean.

[Private]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Trust me, kids are much more rewarding than inmates.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Whatever you say, I'm still not having any.

The difference between them, in my case, could not be more different...

How do you mean?

'Twould be a misery, indeed, were my child to have turned out like Mark Hoffman.

I had six children. All of them are dead, now.

Warden Filter

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[jurisfictional.livejournal.com]

Three children. I'm afraid some of the posts floating around here do rather sound like they come from petulant teenagers.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I was trying not to imply that, but it's hard to deny sometimes.

[Absently:] Hm, no, no whelplings.

...I suppose it is a great comfort for you to be able to return without any time passing, though. Do you miss them?

Warden Filter

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I never stop thinking about them. But then again, they're the reason I'm here at all.

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

I have a kid sister that I've raised. Am raising. It hasn't been helpful in any inmate's redemption, though, because all they do is use the emotional association against you.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Who's your inmate?

[OOC: Hope I'm not too late! First time I saw this, sorry!]

Yeah. I was ungrounded for all of a day. And my filters are still dead too.

[Public] It's never too late <3

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Too bad. Let me know when you're out, I'll see if your warden will let me take you up to the CES. I bet you could use some fresh air.
