You'd think the Admiral would make a pamphlet or something for the new inmates. 'So YOU'VE been sentenced to eternity in an interdimensional space jail'. I don't know. 'Welcome to the Barge, you're dead, you'd think things couldn't get any worse than that but they can and here's how!'

Maybe an instructional video. Or something more low-tech like a series of wood carvings or whatever for the pre-electricity crowd. Just saying, it'd save a lot of time, effort and irritation every time a new kid washes up here.

And an extra-special note for the new kids: I'm Shego. We probably won't have a whole lot to say to each other. Stay out of my way.

It would be quite helpful, I'm sure.

Although wood carvings... we're not that behind. It might also want to explain the damn weaponry in this place.

And why do you care how weapons work, Findthee?

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Because I was rather dismayed to find that the weaponry I am familiar and incredibly proficient with is generally considered inferior by wardens who wave around lumps of metal with the capacity to kill you in an instant.

Not everyone would understand the initial threat of a gun, that is the point I'm making.

Sympathy. You cannot haz it.

You think? I'm pretty sure the 'hold still and rethink your next move if someone's aiming something at you' rule has been around since guys in caves were throwing rocks at each other.

Clearly, yes. But when you don't understand the potential something has at first, it's not particularly easy. It's the difference between thinking someone's pointing a razor sharp, serrated, assassin's knife and knowing they're pointing a butter knife.
