backdated to election night

[thornsofmalkav]

Bad news, everybody. I just found out that Zed's been having people rig the voting machines. Worse, since they're direct-recording electronic, there's no paper record like with a scantron.

I'm going to be talking to Daneel--the vavassour--about this tonight and the candidates and even Zed himself. I suggest everyone who's been staying at Zed's place should go back and get whatever stuff they don't want to leave behind right now, because I'm not sure how welcome we're going to be once I talk to Zed. We should be able to stay at the Kurgan until the end of the Jaunt, however. It can't be much longer.

Ugh. I'm sorry about this.

Dude! It's not like he murdered anyone! He just committed widescale fraud! You can put him in, like, Train Ranger jail, right?

[lunchleader]

We don't have jail on our trains. That's because the monsters we deal with? Didn't stop until we destroyed them.

Zed's no different.

[thornsofmalkav]

I dunno. Getting stuck in jail for two weeks in Nova Venezia slowed him down pretty good.

[lunchleader]

...did it? For real?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. They wouldn't let him out. They're really stubborn about that. And he couldn't get out with portals, because even if he'd gone back to Liminal he'd have had no choice but to come out to the same place he'd left from. His cell.

As far as I know, he just hung around in a cage and complained and, like, talked to this Trump in disguise.

[lunchleader]

[There's a mental feeling of brooding for a few moments.]

...well, he did mention speaking to a Trump and getting marked by 'em...is that when it happened?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah, I think so? He calls it his 'prison ink.'

[lunchleader]

'Prison ink'? How'd they get ink in prison?

[thornsofmalkav]

I'm not entirely sure, but people totally do because they come out of prison with crudely done tattoos all the time. Colloquially, those are called 'prison ink."

[lunchleader]

Huh...never heard of that before...

Still, why would one of the Trumps mark Zed?

[thornsofmalkav]

[That's because you're ten.]

I'm not sure, but Chariot probably had its reasons.
