New muse... Maybe probably almost definitely spoilers for season 3 in the comments.

[allwedoisrun]

So, you did it.

Good job. I guess, bein' up here in your head is better than starvin'.

I'm actually kind of glad you're not thinkin' 'bout a game, I don't think I'm ready for that.

Lets just... take things easy for a bit. Okay?

Life's been rough on all of us. We'll see how this goes for a little while, and go from there. One day at a time.

[He'll just stare.]

Probably smart.

[allwedoisrun]

[She'll stare right back, because you're dead. Or at least, that's what Rick said.]

After the what we've been through this winter, I'm not ready to jump into anything.

[keepsthemsafe]

You writer ain't planning something exciting and filled with danger?

[there's a hard edge to his voice. also oh please, tell him what Rick said. He'll love that.]

[allwedoisrun]

My writer? She had lots of things planned, but none of them are with me just yet.

I'm not sure if she wants to keep me around, she's just testing things out.

[He said you were dead. He said that he killed you, and you turned into a walker. He told them that they are all infected.]

[keepsthemsafe]

Well I wish you and your writer the best. [his voice is stiff] Least yours isn't lookin' at these game things.

[allwedoisrun]

Well, I'd say thanks, but you don't sound too much like you mean it. [Her brow creases.] Yeah... She isn't, for now.

[keepsthemsafe]

...Well no.

I suppose I wish your writer well. [That he does mean.]

Mine's putting me in jail so.

[allwedoisrun]

She thanks you. [She breaks out into laughter.] Jail? Jail? [She's still laughing, but she's tapering off into giggles.] That is funny... Or ironic maybe..

[keepsthemsafe]

The hell's so funny about that?

[allwedoisrun]

We're all in jail now! Every damn one of us who's left.

[keepsthemsafe]

...You gotta be fucking with me. A penitentiary. The hell is Rick smoking?

[allwedoisrun]

It's safe. Fortified. There's plenty of food. Seems like a good idea.

[keepsthemsafe]

Yeah, but a penitentiary's gonna lock you in and in case of some kind of attack or the need to make a quick exit there's no..

[His cheek twitches and he frowns] Noh. You know what? Good fucking luck. Was this Rick's idea?

1/2

[allwedoisrun]

[allwedoisrun]

Yes.

[keepsthemsafe]

[And Shane looks-positively homicidal.]

You're following a goddamn idiot.

[allwedoisrun]

And Maggie looks positively frightened.]

There are towers, and we can protect ourselves. He got us through the winter, and that was hell.

[keepsthemsafe]

[Shane glares] He got you through the winter holing yourself up in a hell hole. You're going to fucking die in there and a defensible position's going to fuckin' draw Everybody there.

[allwedoisrun]

We only just arrived here, we spent the whole winter out there.. on the road.

There are so many walkers now... Herds all the time. The prison is closed. They can't get in. And the ones that are in there, we're killing them.

It's safe. We trust him. He's done alright by us.

[keepsthemsafe]

..oh he keeps you safe. Saint Rick Grimes, super leader. [His teeth clench] The almighty leader. Good for him.

[Those nasty remarks? Feeling a little ashamed? Maybe. He didn't know about the walkers.]

[allwedoisrun]

[They came in after you were gone. They over ran the farm and they lost everything. Things have been rough...Barely any food. He's trying.]

He's doin' his best. Holdin' us together. After the farm... He's done everything he can.

[keepsthemsafe]

Be a lot easier if he had somebody to help him wouldn't it have been? Except wait, last I checked his partner was dead.

[Shane is more worried then he's willing to let on for all the wrong reasons.]

...Lori.

and Carl.

[allwedoisrun]

[She frowns.]

As I recall, his partner sorta brought it on himself.

They're fine. Baby's due any day now.
