deusexmechanicRex! I'm giving you a heads up for this: I'll be coming by your cabin in about half an hour, so if you're not decent? Get decent.
I've got you a present. A pet, actually, not a snake though. You spend way too much time on snakes, and it's creepy, so you are getting a nice, wholesome, fluffy, friendly pet.
And we're going out for a drink.
Deal with it.

[He grins, hefting the animal carrier as he heads over to his inmate.]

Date: 2010-04-23 01:53 am (UTC)Yes, I'm fine. No lingering side effects to speak of.

Date: 2010-04-23 02:00 am (UTC)Yeah? How's Wichita? She got her eyes back okay, right?

Date: 2010-04-23 02:10 am (UTC)[Pause. No, he won't ask.]
Re: SPAM
Date: 2010-04-23 02:19 am (UTC)[And now, pleasantries aside, TO THE BOX!]
Okay, now, I was thinking like, you really need some kind of companionship that isn't like... I don't know, serpentine in nature, so I got you... a cute little---
[He carefully lifts the lid of the box and reaches in, dragging out the word as he retrieves...]
Psyche! I totally got you a new snake!
[Yeah. He totally did. Harper retrieves a medium sized Python, coiling happily around his hand. He looks extremely pleased with himself.]
Re: SPAM - I picked this species because it's super cute :c
Date: 2010-04-23 02:56 am (UTC)You--
[He looks over at his warden and blinks, then grins like it's Christmas, then makes a valiant effort to hide his happiness, because, well, it's Harper.]
That's a Children's python-- not named for the size, but after... [He thinks for a moment, then decides he DOESN'T CARE, because he has a new snake.] some guy.
[He gives the snake a closer look, getting all EXCITED NOW.] This one's actually quite large for the species. Oh! I could even feed him full-grown mice! [Tilting his head as he appraises the snake.] The Children's python is really quite beautiful; they have such striking patterns when they're young... [He strokes the snake gently.] A shame that it fades as they age.
SPAM - you chose well! It is a little cutie pie!
Date: 2010-04-23 12:10 pm (UTC)Who's the best Warden ever? Yeah, that's right, I'm the best Warden ever! Tell your friends, the award ceremony is this evening, but it's invitation only and no one's invited.
[Okay, that's enough gloating. FOR NOW. He leans back a little, holding the snake towards Rex to give him better stroking access.]
I don't know it's gender or anything like that. Figured all that stuff would come under your field of expertise more than mine.
[Snakey crawls up Harpers arm a bit, wondering what the magical world up the sleeve of his t-shirt was like.]
Anyway, I figured, since that stupid jerk killed your last snake, and since I wasn't being... the most comforting and reasonable person at the time, what the hell. I owed you something nice.
[He pauses for a minute, it probably wasn't a good idea to remind Rex of why he should be mad with him. DISTRACTION TIME!]
You wanna hold it already?
Re: SPAM - I want one :c
Date: 2010-04-23 03:04 pm (UTC)It's a somewhat invasive process. I'll ask Count D if he can find out. [He doesn't know how the man does it, but he's been pleased with his animal advice so far.]
Thank you. [Should he tell Harper that Tiamat is alive and well? NAH. Besides, Harper just distracted him. Rex's eyes light up like this is the best thing ever.] Yes! [Forgetting that he's supposed to behave antagonistically with his warden, he reaches out to gently pick up the snake. Finally, with the snake in his hands, he looks at Harper again.] There isn't a catch, is there?
SPAM - I totally share your snake desire :C
Date: 2010-04-23 05:10 pm (UTC)Nope. No catch. I mean, you have to come get drunk with me, but I was going to make you do that anyway.
[He turns back to the container he brought her in and starts pulling out RANDOM SNAKE THINGS. Like, heat mats and barometers and all that crap.]
I guess you already have some of this junk from your other snake, but yeah, if you need like... any other enclosure stuff for her, I always have stuff lying around you could probably turn into a snake house.
[Harper eyes the creature as he talks. He's actually sort of starting to see the appeal of all the snakes. Maybe he wouldn't be so hot on Cobra's, but this snake had been kind of quiet, and bit him less frequently than his mongoose had. It was... almost cute. Almost.]
Re: SPAM
Date: 2010-04-23 06:59 pm (UTC)That's very generous of you. [His voice is distracted as he observes the snake's movements.] Okay, I'll have a drink with you.

Date: 2010-04-23 07:48 pm (UTC)[Normally, Harper would accompany that with a loving punch in the arm, but he... doesn't really want to shake the snake up into biting off his inmates fingers. So instead he turned it into a small tap on the arm.
He'll punch him properly later.
When he's good and drunk.]
