Not being alone is a large part of the problem.

[Yeah, yeah, she knows that isn't what Will meant by it, but she's not feeling a ton of solidarity with her fellow prisoners at the moment.]

And no, I haven't. You can't appeal to a machine. I'd have more luck breaking one of the guards. [Although so far she has had no luck there at all.]

[infomodder]

[But April's there so she at least has someone to go to for cutting, witty commentary, right???? He's not going to say that, though. He has some sense of when not to delve into romantic moosh.]

What if the machine has control of where you are? Does anyone know?

[enustari]

It said as much already. The conversations others have with it aren't exactly private.

[It speaks to them through an intercom, after all. She's listened to quite a few pointless exchanges.]

[infomodder]

No wonder you hate the waiting so much.

[Because he figures that, yes, she has heard some pointless shit and had to refrain from telling people to shut the fuck up. Showing some solidarity here feels right.]

[enustari]

[A short, harsh laugh.] It's never fucking quiet. You know that? Even at "night" — for lack of a better term — there's always someone snoring. Or whispering. Crying.

[So here she is, making her own noise to cope.]

[infomodder]

[Ew, crying. That gets a draw of breath through teeth, a tsssss sort of sound. Like, he gets it's a tough situation and really terrible and all but that's quite the sound to have to deal with.]

I imagine that doesn't do anything to help everyone else's nerves. Which one's the worst?

[Tell him your aural disgust, Elsa. Make noise about the noise you hate the most. Let it all out.]

[enustari]

I nearly opened a man's throat for singing ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall. Sort of the de facto winner, really.

[It's right up there with "Margaritaville" and "Shots" for 'songs you don't want to hear when you're experiencing withdrawal.' Or trapped in a confined space. Or ever, really...]

[infomodder]

[And "Freebird" too huh.]

How far along in the song did he get before you shut him up?

[enustari]

[Of course. No one honestly enjoys "Freebird."]

Not very.

[infomodder]

[Go past the Maxon-Dixon line and say that again.]

You probably saved him from someone else actually going through with opening his throat, you realize.

[HOW NOBLE OF YOU ELSA]
