Twenty-four

[pelagically]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that camp counseling hasn't furthered my rehabilitation at all.

Johanna, how are you the only one who got out of this?

I'll check the missing persons list and make sure her therapist didn't show up on it around the time counseling assignments were handed out.

[johannamason]

No, but that's a good idea.

[pelagically]

You'll just encourage her.

[mindoirsurvivor]

I'm getting that.

[johannamason]

I calmly and patiently explained to her the last time I was left in a nature setting with a group of children.

[johannamason]

Now I'm not allowed within 50 feet of the schools and parks, but I don't have to join you guys in this idiotic exercise.

[pelagically]

I should have thought of that. I think they're getting soft after so long with us anyway. Why else would they make the guy who tried to escape supervise boat rides and fishing trips?

[johannamason]

We really have been here a long time.

[pelagically]

A little too long.

[johannamason]

Don't remind me.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Oh, here's the file.

Hey, if ninety days go by without a violent incident and you pass an evaluation, they'll lift the "parks" half of the restriction.

[johannamason]

I already checked and parks don't include the forest we're already not supposed to not go in, so I don't think I'll play it nice for that. I don't want to get conned into some autumn camp crap.

[burnedout]

Maybe don't give her an incentive.

[johannamason]

You have a problem with me being around parks?

[burnedout]

I might have a problem with another violent incident. Do you want to go to the park?

[johannamason]

If you're going to be clotheslining kids again.

[burnedout]

Yours is a better listener than mine, apparently.

[johannamason]

I drew her some pictures.

[pelagically]

Did she keep them?

[johannamason]

I hope she framed them.

[burnedout]

I suppose my tackling four children when that explosion happened could be seen as a nurturing instinct.

[pelagically]

If you squint.

[burnedout]

I mean, in my defense it was to shield them from the blast, which for the record I think anyone with any sort of credentials would agree I shouldn't have been anywhere near.

[pelagically]

Is it bad I'm impressed they actually made that happen?
