11th Spell

Don't be mad at Sylvanas, everyone. It wasn't her fault. I think Arthas used his magic to hypnotize her into doing his bidding and laid his mind eggs inside her patterned brainwaves - all metaphorically, of course. It happens sometimes.

That was fun, though. I've never banished a demon before. I didn't think it would be so complex.

[Private to the dinner crew]

I'm thinking something with molasses. Are any of you good with molding?

Mr. Creed?

I'm sorry. There's really not a place one can go where it's quiet, except the Enclosure if no one's using it.

I enjoyed my walks there, when it was still available to us.

Do you know when it will be returned?

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

I wish I could say, but I don't know. I suppose that's up to the Admiral.

What purpose do wardens serve if the Admiral controls everything?

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

A warden's job isn't to control. It's to guide and teach.

private, text

[150th]

But your employer determines who you teach and when you are finished teaching.

[Not exactly a dispute against her, just a musing.]

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

Yes, but he doesn't determine what we decide to teach. It's a small victory, but an important one.

I do not think I could be satisfied with only that much freedom.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

It's a stepping stone to larger amounts of freedom.

private, text

[150th]

A warden's rights do not expand that I have seen.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

They expand when the inmate gets more freedom, I think.

private, text

[150th]

How?

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

You get a feeling. A sense that what you're doing is working, and it lets your imagination run wild. You're not afraid to try new things.

private, text

[150th]

This is not the freedom I was referring to.

[But it is interesting.]

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

Just because you're in prison doesn't mean your mind has to be imprisoned.

private, text

[150th]

No. But a lack of practical freedom may not let mental freedom benefit anyone.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

True.

What would you do with your freedom, if you had it?

private, text

[150th]

Go back to my home, and finish the work I began there.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

That seems a noble purpose.

private, text

[150th]

It is a just purpose, but apparently insufficient to earn my freedom.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

I wish I knew how the Admiral thought, some days. It can be hard to decipher his motivations.

private, text

[150th]

I have tried to speak with him on many occasions. He does not respond.

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

Maybe we're not asking the right way.

private, text

[150th]

In what way should I be asking?

private, text

[whatthewrackspurt]

Well, he seems to like cookies. Maybe we could bake some and offer them to him.
