Enough. That's enough. I understand, don't stab anyone anymore, will you let me out now?

I still can't believe you're in there at all. [#TEAMSTEPHEN]

[Private]

[dinosize]

Mickey?

[ You heard that? ]

[Private]

[americasdirtiest]

...yeah?

[visetvires]

[She understands. Immediately. He told her, didn't he?]

[She's on deck in moments, the only way she can help him, the camera turned up to see the stars. She doesn't speak.]

[dinosize]

It's just - it's just video.

[visetvires]

It's all I have.

More than you have.

Stephen--

[ He'd actually started responding before he thought the whole thing through. Guilt and though he'd never admit it sympathy launching him into it. ]

...it wasn't your fault.

[ He had no idea what to say in these things. ]

[americasdirtiest]

Fuck you.

[400yearsofsurvival]

Mickey, I'm serious.

[dinosize]

I know it wasn't my fault!

[ He doesn't. He doesn't know that, and it gives him a sick, sinking feeling just to think about it. ]

[Private]

[400yearsofsurvival]

[ He switches to private in the hopes that there's no interruption from Mickey. ]

You were just defending yourself.

[ Jerry himself almost looked sick, thinking of just what he'd done to push Stephen to what he'd done. But there's something more in his tone. A sort of acceptance. ]

[punched_hitler]

Yeah, I'd say not stabbing people is a better way to make friends around here than the alternative.

[What happened? Geez.]

[dinosize]

You don't say.

[punched_hitler]

Just a suggestion, is all.

[But at least you seem to be getting the picture?]

What happened?

[exnihilo]

You stabbed somebody?

[Not dubious or judgey or anything, just a little surprised. Why didn't she know that.]

[dinosize]

...yes.

[ What else is he supposed to say? ]

[exnihilo]

Did you want to, or was it - you know. Sudden.

[Private]

[youwillgotohell]

[Oh, Stephen.]

Do you like to ride horses?

[Private]

[dinosize]

...it's all right.

[ Not his favorite thing to do, but certainly not his least favorite. He's gone riding before. Not an expert, really, but decent at it.

It's better than being in here. ]

Got a few spare horses? Or is this just an academic question.

[private]

[hearrrtofgold]

I don't see why you need to be in there. You're punishing yourself enough.

[private]

[dinosize]

So I should stab someone and get off with nothing.

[Private]

[isahumanbeing]

Can you have visitors?

[Private]

[dinosize]

Yeah.

Yeah, I just can't leave.

[tucky]

Off the ship, you mean? Or did you get locked away?

[video]

[dinosize]

Locked in my cabin. Who are you?
