[Jim’s not playing music this time. He’s not watching Glee. Rather, he’s playing with a long string. He’s got it wound in his fingers, tangled almost in a knot.]

I watched two children do this once. They had a string and by…moving their fingers, they could make the most interesting designs. Cat’s Cradle. [He shows his seemingly hopelessly tangled fingers to the camera.] Apparently you need two people for this.

[He pauses.] Oh, if only I still had Sherlock attached to me again. That would have made my day so much brighter. [Another pause.] Speaking of useless people, has anyone seen my warden around? [He abandons his project and, with a bit of a dramatic flair, yanks off the string from his hands, shaking out his fingers.]

He’s the one with the name that isn’t really a name. And I’m just so glad to have him. [An eyeroll and then switch filter.]

[Private to Coyo]

Goddess, you have caused quite a stir lately.

[Inmate Filter]

Let's play a game. A secret game. The secret part is what you get when you win. Doesn't that sound fun? [He laughs softly.]

We all have things we're not supposed to have. Now, I don't expect you to tell me what those things are. I know you won't and, honestly, I don't care. but we're all inmates here. Theft should be of little consequence. But here's the game. Take one thing. Only one...and prove to me you have it.

Whoever has the best toy wins. And it's no fun if people get hurt, remember? Then the game's over and no one can play. You don't have to participate, of course. Your arguments of protests are so dull and they're counterproductive.

[He stops, as if he's finished, and then speaks again.] Oh, and don't let anyone else know you're participating. It ruins the surprise.

[OOC: ALSO, I should clarify...this isn't meant to actually happen, unless people actually do want to for some reason... XP He's just testing reactions.]
