1 - I think it better in times like these...

[Hendricks has been doing his backreading. Strange days. He wonders how common they are. ...and look, people are the same all over, from any culture or technology level. He's not surprised that the Stanford Prisoner Experiment was invoked recently, although he's more surprised that on the balance, there isn't general rule by the more literally super-powered. That's something worth having some renewed faith in.

Also he's going to have to pay attention to the rights of non-humans-- the vampires here aren't the Black court scourges or the White court soul eaters he's used to and he has to be better than preconceptions to do this job. He'll have to figure out how to talk to the local werewolf about what form her theriomorphy takes, because she seems to be halfway between a Lycanthrope and a Werewolf in the terms of his universe.

He thinks all that and he says:]

Hey. Name's Hendricks. I'm from Chicago. New warden.

Nice to meetcha.

In my experience and in my universe, many humans spend a significant amount of time trying to harm one another. Although it seems that much of this harm is need collateral damage to accomplish their other tasks.

[cujothebigreddog]

Told you it ain't easy. It's hard to make decisions down here.

[trenchcoatedly]

It isn't much easier up there, unless you're a slave to your orders.

[cujothebigreddog]

Are you? Thought that was the whole deal.

[trenchcoatedly]

That's how it normally is, yes. But the orders aren't always right.

[cujothebigreddog]

What, from God?

[Unlike the Marquis, he doesn't like to hear himself talk. But he knows his philosophy and this is sort of a crucial point.]

[trenchcoatedly]

No. God only speaks to Joshua, and even that he does sporadically. His word is translated through the archangels.

[Don't do it, Nathan. Don't make the crack.]

Here I thought humans invented middle management.

[trenchcoatedly]

[Blink. Headtilt.]

Humans are far too ingenuitive and creative to make such a thing.

[cujothebigreddog]

[Hendricks stares into the screen a long time, blue eyes hard.]

Yeah.

Well, later, Castiel.

[trenchcoatedly]

Good bye.
