Chapter 1: prologue

Chapter Text

An interesting looking unidentified specimen wakes up in a strange room in strange clothes.

 

“Wh… where am I…”

 

The creature gets up and encounters a strange animal.

 

“Huh?! What are you?!”

“Ah, you’re awake, finally.”

“IT TALKS?!”

“Ahem, excuse me.”

“Sorry, that was really rude of me wasn’t it- who or what are you?”

“Thank you, my name is Jackalope. Take a look at my cool horns!”

 

Jackalope shows off his horns.


“Also, I am not a rabbit, and don’t you dare ever call me one.”

“Oh… a Jackalope… So you're like me, yes? An unidentified creature?”

“Yes… I am an Unidentified Mysterious Animal. You are Squigglez, yes?”

“Mhm… that’s what I go by…”

“Well, Squigglez. This is MILGRAM Prison. Your job is to be the guard, or warden if you will. All you have to do is manage the prisoners and their trials. And on top of that, meals and everything above is covered. Sounds easy, right?”

“I see…”

“However, the prisoners… They are all murderers. Make sure to observe them carefully.”

“Mhm…”

 

Jackalope hands Squigglez a small, well printed booklet.

 

“Here. This is information about the prisoners.”

“Hm… Okay, thank you, Jackalope. I will do my best.”





Squigglez walks down a hall to the prisoner containment area, where all the prisoners are kept.

They open up the information booklet, observing each of the 10 prisoners, who are asleep in their cells.

Chapter 2: Before First Trials

Notes:

Chapter Text

“Oh god… where the hell am i…”

“What is this place…?”

“...”

 

The voices of the prisoners overlap each other as they exit their cells, making their way to the main prison area.

 

“What the hell…”Said the red haired one.

“Oh shit we’re imprisoned aren’t we?”Said the Red-Brown-ish haired one.

“Who the fuck are you guys anyways?” Asked the girl with black hair in a ponytail.

“Hey! Language! There’s a child here!” Replied the one with short brown hair.

The boy with black hair mutters something under his breath. “I fucking love air conditioning.”

The one with short brown hair takes back his statement. “Oh, nevermind…”

 

Squigglez enters the main area, gathering the attention of the prisoners.

 

“Hello… uh… My name is Squigglez. I am the prison warden. I assume all of you are confused as to where you are. This is MILGRAM Prison. All of you are prisoners here, because all of you here have been the main cause or reason of death of a person or persons. It could be of murder, bullying, anything of that sort.”

 

The prisoners look around and start muttering.

“Murder? Oh shit…”

“...”

“Huh? But-”

 

“AHEM! So… as I was saying… MILGRAM Prison recognises all of you as murderers and you shall be treated as such. As the prison warden, I will be overseeing all of your actions along with Jackalope-”

The woman with brown-red hair interjects,“Jackalope? Isn’t that a mythical animal-”

“Don’t question it. I will be overseeing all of your actions during your time in MILGRAM Prison. I will also be coordinating all 3 of your trials, so whether or not you’re GUILTY or INNOCENT will ultimately be up to me.”

 

Squigglez starts to turn away.“I will be seeing all of you at your interrogations.”

 

Squigglez walks out of the main area.

 

The woman with red hair breaks the silence,“Damn.”

 

The boy with brown hair gets an idea. “Hey, why don’t we do an icebreaker, it might help so we get to know eachother better!”

The prisoners nod in agreement.

The one with long blonde hair with rainbow tips adds on, “There’s a big table here, it seems to fit all of us!”

The girl with black hair in the ponytail slowly walks backward, “You know what I’m going to sit this one out-”

The girl with long blonde hair threatens, “ I will break your fucking kneecaps if you don’t sit down at that table.

“Oh FUCK- nevermind. (Seriously? Not even a hello? How are you?)”

 

The prisoners sit down at the table.

The boy with brown hair says, “Alright everyone, so, I noticed that on our uniforms are numbers! They should be on one of the straps.”

The woman with blonde hair in a ponytail replies, “Huh, you’re right…!”

The boy continues, “So I was thinking that we should go in that number order! Anyone here with number 1?”

“I have number 001…”says the woman with brown-red hair in a ponytail.

The boy replies, “Great! Introduce yourself to the other prisoners here, state your name and your occupation.”

 

“Alright… My name is Philomena Cunk. I… was a journalist.”

 

The boy proceeds. “Great! Next?”

 

The one blonde hair in a ponytail answers. “I’m Vanessa, I used to be a security guard for Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex…”

 

“Next?”

 

The girl with braids responds, “Call me Evermore. I don’t have work… unless writing music counts…”

 

The boy with black hair goes next, “...Sunny… I… I’m in 6th Grade… or at least used to be...”

 

The woman with red hair goes next, “Liz. Uber driver.”

 

The boy with brown hair (who started the icebreaker) goes next, “Oh, I’m Tim. I’m still in school, but I have a robot named Moby I take care of.”

 

The man with brown hair and a beard goes next, “Robert Grove, I… am a professional actor…! ”He says unnecessarily dramatically.

 

The girl with black hair goes next, “Nicole. Fresh out of high school. Oh and I sell drugs too I guess.”

 

The girl with purple hair goes next. “Asahina Mafuyu. I am a student.”

 

Finally, the girl with long blonde hair with rainbow tips is last. “I’m Mayu! Not doing anything right now, hehe!~”

 

“And that’s everyone! Great work!” Tim says to the others enthusiastically.

 

Suddenly the intercom goes off. 

Squigglez’s voice is heard on the loudspeakers.

“Ahem… Prisoner #001, Philomena Cunk, please report immediately to the interrogation room. Once again, Prisoner #001, Philoemena Cunk, please report immediately to the interrogation room. Thank you.”

 

“Ah, I have to go. See you…” Philomena turns to leave.

 

“Good luck, Philomena!” Exclaimed Tim.

 

The prisoners all get up and go their separate ways, some go back to the prisoner containment room, others stay in the main area.

 

Liz walks up to Nicole and asks, “Hey, when we get out of here, do you think you can get me some of that stuff?

Nicole replies, “Oh yeah sure man- wait hold the fuck up, are you fucking BRITISH?!”






Philomena enters the interrogation room and sits down.

Chapter 3: Prisoner 001 - First Trial

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Squigglez walks into the interrogation room. 

 

They greet Philomena,“Hello Philomena, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Oh, no it’s fine, I wasn’t waiting long.”

Squigglez sits down.

“Alright then, Prisoner 001, Philomena, the interrogation has begun-”

“Who are you? You seem a bit young to be a prison warden, now that I think about it you don’t even look human! You have cat ears, and human ears, you have 4 ears. What are you-”

“Hey! I’m the one asking the questions here!”

“Oh, sorry.”

“Sigh… As I was saying… MILGRAM exists to reveal the sins of you and your peers, the prisoners, and to hand down the right judgment, so for that reason, let’s chat for a bit.”

“...right, so are you going to answer my questions?”

“We’re supposed to be talking about you.”

“Right, but my questions still stand. If you want to know about me then I want to know about you.”

“Sigh… fine. But we have to get through this quickly. I’m Squigglez, I am an unidentified specimen. I am not human. Do not ask about my ears or my age. This is all you need to know about me. Now back to you. You were a documentarian, yes?”

“Yes, I did host many documentaries. Britain, Shakespeare, Christmas, even the history of the world. You name it, I’ve done a documentary about it. Squigglez is a weird name. Is it a nickname?”

“I don’t know, that’s what I’ve always gone by, but that doesn’t really matter. I am Squigglez. Why are you asking questions about me anyway? This is your interrogation.”

“I just got here. I’m not very familiar with anyone here. I just woke up in a prison cell like 30 minutes ago.”

“(Shoot, she’s right…)...But you know why you are here, yes?”

“...yes. I murdered someone.”

“Good, I guess we are on the same page.”

“The man I murdered… He was a good man… He’s the whole reason I got this job…”

Squigglez’s ears perk up. “Really? Who was he?”

“He…”

Philomena takes a breath and something clicks in her head. 

“Tell me… What do you plan to do with us?”

“What?”

“Why were we brought here of all places?!”

“You’re not the one who asks the questions here.”

Philomena gets more frustrated.

“Of all people you would know! Now, TELL ME! What is going to happen to us?!”

“Again, know your place here, Philomena. Or else I’m gonna have to restrain you.”

Philomena takes a deep breath and calms down.

“...Sorry… I got carried away there… I was just paranoid, that’s all.”

“Ah… good-” 

 

A loud bell rings.

 

“H- HUH?! What the hell?! What’s happening?!”

“Don’t worry, that just signifies the end of the interrogation. We are now going to take a look inside of your heart. I forgot to mention, your sins manifest into songs here at MILGRAM.”

“Woah…”

“Now, Prisoner #001, Philomena Cunk…”

 

“Sing your sins!”

Notes:

so umm I can't write songs, however I can steal songs, so philomena’s trial 1 song is…. Duvet by boa !!! yay do with that info what you will

Chapter 4: - Memory 001 / #1 -

Chapter Text

Philomena’s producer walks into her office.

 

“Hm? The hell do you want now?”

 

Her producer sits down.

 

“Well… I want to talk business. Well, actually it’s more personal matters than business.”

 

Philomena hesitates, “...hm. I see.”

She thinks to herself, “(Shit… my suspicions were right after all…)”

 

“How personal… is it? Remember, we are not friends. We are simply colleagues.”

“Tell me… how often do you think about me?”

“Honestly? Only like, once a month. You don’t mean much to me.”

“...are you sure you’re not lying?”

Philomena responds bluntly, her patience running thin,“...Fuck you.”

Chapter 5: prisoner shenanigans #1

Notes:

this is literally just filler content as an excuse to write prisoner interactions

Chapter Text

“...Anyways, that's how my brother got arrested.”Nicole says bluntly.

Liz stares in shock, “Woah… what the actual fuck… that’s fucked up…”

“Yeah, I know right. Oh- and then we checked his computer after he got arrested and-”

“Hey guys, I’m back.” Philomena walks into the main prison area.

 

The others see Philomena.

 

“So, how was it?” Tim asks.

Philomena replies, albeit a bit reluctantly, “I mean… it was pretty straightforward, the prison warden asks you a question and you answer it…” 

 

Robert walks into the main area. “ My fellow prisoners! I have awoken-

“OH MY GOD SHUT UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP. NO ONE CARES.” Exclaimed Nicole in an annoyed tone.

Robert sighs, “Hmph. Tough crowd. Was worth a try anyway.”

Robert sits down, unknowingly next to Sunny.

Sunny quietly mentions, “...um…you remind me of someone…”

“Huh? Really? Who?” Robert asks curiously.

“...this… girl… from my dreams… obnoxious… aggressive… egotistic… donut…”

Robert has a puzzled look on his face. “(Weird kid.)...are you okay?”

“...”Sunny stares blankly into the ceiling.

Robert doesn’t bother. “Hmph.”




Vanessa walks up to Mayu, “Hey, nice hair.”

Mayu responds enthusiastically, “Oh, thank you! That’s very nice of you!~”

“You know, I used to have rainbow extensions like you, ”Vanessa mentions. 

“I’m sure you would look very nice with them! Why did you get rid of them?” Mayu asks.

Vanessa responds, reluctantly, “Ah… u- uh… I uh…”

Mayu apologized, “Oh, sorry! Don’t wanna talk about it? Don’t worry, I understand.”

Vanessa reassured Mayu, “Oh, no need to apologize… I- It’s not your fault-”

Mayu interrupted, “No, I’m taking fault for it. Besides, I was the one asked.”

Vanessa understood, “Ah, I guess you’re right…”

Mayu added on, “You should try them out again, when you get out of this place. Oh! Or, maybe you can ask the warden about it! They can bring in a hair dying kit!”

“Huh? Does this prison allow it?” questioned Vanessa.

Mayu shrugs, “Dunno. There’s no hurt in asking though.”




Mafuyu suddenly asks Evermore, “You. You said you write music…?”

Evermore responds, reluctantly due to the sudden question, “Oh- yes, I do! I play the guitar…”

“Interesting…” mutters Mafuyu.

“Why’d you ask?”

Mafuyu hesitates. “...I used to be a part of a music group…”

Evermore’s eyes perk up, “Oh, really? What is it called…? If you don’t mind me asking…”

“...Nightcord at 25:00…”

“Interesting… (I should listen to some of their music then…)”

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

It’s another day. The final result for Philomena’s 1st trial hasn’t been finalized yet.

 

The intercom goes off. 

Squigglez’s voice is heard on the loudspeakers.

“Ahem, Prisoner #002, Vanessa… A., please report to the Interrogation Room. Once again, Prisoner #002, Vanessa A., please report to the Interrogation Room.”

 

Vanessa walks out of the main area and arrives in the room.

She sits down.

Vanessa mutters,“Sigh… If you’re going to have me come here, then at least be here on time too…”

 

Squigglez runs into the Interrogation Room. “Huff… huff… Sorry… Long walk… from… intercom room… had to run….”

Squigglez goes over a small table in the corner and gets a small cup of water. “...want some water?”

Vanessa turns down the request, “No need, I’m okay.”

“Alright.”

Squigglez sits down. 

“Okay, Prisoner 002, ‘Vanessa A.’, the interrogation has begun. As you know, MILGRAM exists to reveal the sins of you and your peers, the prisoners, and to hand down the right judgment, so for that reason, let’s chat for a bit.”

“Oh, okay… uh…”Vanessa thinks to herself.

“...how about your job?”

“Oh- uh… okay… I used to work as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex…”
“Freddy Fazbear?! As in the animatronic pizza chain?”

“Uh… yeah…”

“Wow…”

“So… yeah… I also used to be a beta tester for video games… but…”

“Hm?”

“...nevermind… Why do you want to know anyway? I’m just a prisoner…”

“I’m the one managing your trials.”

“I see…”

“In the information I was given, I saw that according to your therapy session logs, your therapists mentioned that you had been chatting with an… anonymous entity and had been searching up cryptid and disturbing things… why’s that?”

Vanessa mutters,“...this is just like my therapy sessions…”

Squigglez apologizes, “Oh, sorry, is that a sensitive topic for you? I understand if you don’t want to talk about it…”

“...I was supposed to be a good girl..”

Squigglez is confused,“(What the fuck…)”

Vanessa starts acting more… erratic.“...ahaha….. AHAHAHAHA…”

Squigglez becomes concerned,“...please snap out of it. If not, I will have to restrain you.”

“You know.. While we’re at it, let's make this interrogation a bit more.. Fun. Shall we? LeT’S PlAY a gAme toGetHer!” Vanessa’s voice glitches.

Squigglez debates whether or not they should restrain Vanessa… is this even Vanessa at this point?

Squigglez gets up and walks toward Vanessa.

“Oh my, are you going to restrain me?”

“Yes, I am afraid so. Remember your place here. You are a prisoner, I am the warden.”

“Ohooo… I believe you’re going to regret that!~”

Vanessa tries to attack Squigglez.

“Wh… what’s this? An invisible wall? No, my arm has stopped midair…”
“I see… this is what Jackalope ment… ‘prisoners cannot attack the prison guards’...”

“I… I…”

Vanessa comes back to her senses.

“Huh? O- Oh my god, I’m so sorry! I- I didn’t-”

“No, it’s fine. Let me just restrain you first, then we can continue with the interrogation.”

“Sure… go ahead…”

Squigglez is just about to restrain Vanessa when a loud bell rings.

“H- huh? What’s happening?”

“Oh, it’s the end of the interrogation. Let’s take a peek at your true self.”

“Huh…? Oh… is this the ‘extracting songs’ thing Philomena was talking about?”

“Yes. Anything last words you’d like to mention?”

“...I’m sorry… I just need to do my job… I’m so sorry…”

“Your job?

"...nothing. Please continue..."

"...I see. Now, Vanessa, Prisoner 002…”

 

“Sing your sins!”

Chapter Text

Hey, Ness, 

I came by your desk today to say hi again but you were really focused on your screen... Are you okay? You don’t seem to have gotten much sleep lately, you looked really tired. You should always get at least 7 hours of sleep, you know (I know, I still sound like a grandma don’t I?). You looked so dissociated from everything else happening in the office today, you gotta tell me how you do it. I wish I could shut out everything happening outside and focus on my job. At least I hope you’re doing your job. Also how’s that screenplay thing going? I wanna see what you are making someday!

Anyways, remember that I’m always here for you, if you need someone to talk to you can always drop by my desk.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Vanessa walks back into the main area. She looks… different in a way. Her eyes had gone mostly dark, almost like Sunny’s black eyes.

Vanessa walks to the table and sits down.

Mafuyu sits beside her.

Mafuyu mentions,“You know… we are not so different, you and I.”

Vanessa is confused“... what makes you think that? You know nothing about me.”

“You look like you’re trying to be free of something.”

“...how do you know?”

“I am just like you. I thought killing her would solve it… but…”

“You still feel an emotional tie… even after she’s long gone.”

“...the only difference is that you’re still actively affected by this.”

“...huh?”

“...nothing. Just a thought…. You should try taking your emotions… and putting them into music… I know… it helped me… I wonder what they’re doing without me…”

 

Mafuyu gets up and leaves. 

 

Vanessa shrugs a little.“...hm.”

 

Vanessa gets up to go back to her cell but Sunny interrupts.

“Oh… um… can you help me with this?”

Sunny hands Vanessa a pack of cards.

“They are… Inkblot cards… they make shapes… people see different shapes than others… I would use them on my own but…”Sunny struggles to find the words.

“...I see.”

 

They sit down. Vanessa takes out a card and shows it to Sunny.

 

“...What do you see…?”

“Ah… um… a block of tofu… Disgusting… But my friend likes them… alot…”

“Hm… I see…”

Vanessa looks at the card.

“...I see a CRT monitor… But I see how it could be a block of tofu…”

 

She takes out another card and shows it to Sunny.

 

“It’s… a treehouse…. I have one in my backyard… me and my friends used to play there… all the time…”

Vanessa looks at the card.

“...Huh. I also see a treehouse. I like to sit outside… and read…”

“Woah…”

 

Vanessa takes out another card.

“...spider… one of my friends… is deathly scared of spiders… he’s 3 years older than me…”

Vanessa looks at the card. It feels… oddly familiar.

“...I also see a bug… Though... I see a beetle instead…”

“...Do you like bugs?”

“...They fascinate me. Crawling around… without a care in the world… fully knowing they will be squished and die someday… but still… They crawl…”

“...woah…”

Vanessa looks at the card again.

“It’s funny… I could have sworn I’ve seen this inkblot once before…”

“...huh?”

“...I feel like someone has said this looks like a face once…”

“... they do have a point… there is an eye there… see…”

Sunny points to the center of the inkblot.

“It’s like… the spiders in my dreams…”

Vanessa is curious.“Huh? What do they look like?”

“Well… um…”

 

Sunny takes out a notepad and scribbles a spider that is entirely black, with an eye in the middle.

 

“Wow… that is a spider… but to me… I feel like the eye is staring into my soul… judging my every move…” Vanessa mumbles.

“...wow…”

Sunny’s stomach grumbles.

“Oh… I’m hungry…”

“I see.”

Sunny gets up and Vanessa packs up the cards.

“Here. You can have this back.”

“...thanks. This was… fun.”

“...yeah.”

Sunny leaves to go to the dining hall.

Notes:

im probably gonna write another prisoner shenanigans after this one bc this was mainly vanessa focused idk

A: Yes. I think. They were more or so interrogists than therapists. I hate them. Even you are nicer than them, Prison Guard, and that shouldn’t even be a sentence. The fact that you, a prison warden, are nicer than my therapists… It’s a weird thought.

 

11 - How are your parents?

A:

 

12 - How do you feel about other prisoner’s murders?

A: They have done it for a reason.

 

13 - Have you ever had a pet?

A: No, but having a cat doesn’t sound bad.

 

14 - Do you speak any language besides English?

A: No, I once studied Japanese and French though. I only remember the bare minimums of each one.

 

15 - Do you have any friends?

A: Outside of the prison, no. I have made friends with Sunny, Mafuyu, Evermore, Mayu, and Tim. Though Mayu and Tim are friends with basically everyone in the prison. 

 

16 - Do you admire anyone?

A: Not really. 

 

17 - Do you believe in the afterlife?

A: It’s a nice concept.

 

18 - Most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?

A: Ah… probably a VR set. It was worth it though. Close second was a really expensive plush. It’s was really big, probably up to my shoulders. 

 

19 - What are you most scared of?

A: Not sure.

 

20 - Do you think ghosts exist?

A: Maybe. I once saw this comedy show about this woman being able to see and interact with ghosts. It was a nice show.

 

21 - Favorite spot?

A: Home. 

 

22 - Anyone you dislike?

A: The tech guy at my old job. Always emailing me about things.

 

23 - Is it unforgivable to look down on people?

A: No. It depends on the person, but every person has a reason for doing so. It’s only natural.

 

24 - What video games do you like playing?

A: I enjoy all video games, but those Japanese rhythm game arcade cabinets are especially fun…

 

25 - Do you like drawing?

A: I think… I used to only doodle things now and then, but now with extra time on my hands…

 

26 - Do you like plushies?

A: Yes. I have many at home. I used to waste so much money at crane machines, but the feeling of winning is immaculate.

 

27 - Do you like music?

A: Yes. I have to listen to the animatronic’s music at the Pizzaplex all day, but at home I like more experimental music. Things like vocal synths.

 

28 - How do you feel about your murders?

A: Why…

 

29 - Do you want to be forgiven?

A: Everyone wishes to be forgiven… but… I don’t think my actions were… forgivable… ( insert a blot of ink here. )

 

30 - How do you feel about yourself? 

A: ( In sloppy writing ) L______et’s have some fun___!

Chapter 11: prisoner shenanigans #3

Notes:

hhhhhhhh i made this in under an hour its a shit chapter read it if you want i dont care

Chapter Text

The prisoners all stand around a pile of objects. 

“Ah, so they did listen to our requests…”Mayu quietly mutters.

 

The prisoners go through the objects and pick out what they requested.

 

Evermore sees the note on the piano.
Evermore observes the note,“Ah, looks like multiple people requested a piano… so they got us a regular piano…”

 

Philomena is amazed, “Wow, they really had the budget for that? I’m surprised they even approved that… Especially for a prison…”

 

Sunny picks up a violin. He looks at the note on it saying that Philomena requested it. 

He walks up to Philomena. “This… is yours?”Sunny gives the violin to Philomena. Philomena holds the violin. It looks a bit cheap, but the quality is good enough. “Oh… thanks.”

 

Nicole goes through what’s left of the pile of things other people had requested. Since she couldn’t request a rope (since the warden knew exactly what she would do with it), she requested a CD. Along with it was a CD player. “Holy shit… how the fuck do they have the budget for all this shit?”

 

Squigglez observes all of the commotion from a window above, sitting next to Jackalope. 

“...how do we have the budget for all this anyway?” Squigglez asks.

Jackalope answers, “Fufufu… it’s a secret~”

Squigglez looks away. “(The hell does that mean…)”

Chapter 12: Prisoner 003 - First Trial

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

The intercom goes off. 

“Prisoner 003, Evermore, please report to the interrogation room.”

 

Evermore walks into the interrogation room and sits down. Squigglez enters soon after.

Squigglez greets Evermore, “Prisoner 003, Evermore. I hope you weren’t waiting too long.”

“Oh, no worries. I assume this is my interrogation? The others have told me about them. We just talk, no?”

“...I see. Yes. MILGRAM exists to reveal the sins of you and your peers, the prisoners, and to hand down the right judgment.”

“Ah, I see… that’s why… It’s interesting though, this room is so quiet and calm… The perfect spot to write music in. Just like my prison cell.”

Squigglez looks at Evermore, puzzled.“Huh? Why, though?”

“I like writing music in quiet areas. I quite enjoy it actually.”

“I would think a prison is barely a place to be enjoying activities in. Remember, you’re a prisoner who was brought in for killing someone.”

“Oh, yes, precisely. That doesn’t mean I can enjoy simple activities, let alone writing music. I’m not bothering anyone, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“...True. Though, I’m surprised you’re not even shaken a bit in this prison. Ever since you woke up for the first time, you were one of the only ones to not even be bothered at all.”

“To be fair, I have had my share of experiences in a quiet, ill-lighted room, all by myself, door locked from the outside. No sounds, just me, myself, and my thoughts.”

“...Jesus.”

“Oh- It’s alright though. My sister usually lets me out when she notices I’m not around the rest of our house. She just assumes I accidentally locked myself inside.”

“Your… sister?”

“Yes, my older sister. She takes care of me.”

“Is she your only sibling?”

“Yes, and the only other person living in our cabin.”
“Cabin?”

“Yes, we have a cabin in the woods, though it’s not very far from the city. It’s only an hour walk.”

“Wait- you walk there?! For an hour straight…”

“Well, usually my other friends pick me up. Then it’s about 10 minutes on a good day.”

“I see.”

“Yep… How does the trials work anyways? We’re judged on a 3 trial basis right?”

“Yes, the final trial, however, will decide your fate.”
“So, will we be executed if we’re judged as GUILTY?”

“...yes, precisely.”

“Hm, I see… I wonder what it’s like to die…”

“Hey- Wait, don’t get weird ideas about that! Remember that you don’t get to decide your fate.”

“Oh, I know, but it’s simply just a thought, no? Hm… that could make a great song…”

A loud mechanical bell rings.

“Oh, is that the end?”

“Yes.”

“Ah, what a shame. We were having such a pleasant confabulation, weren’t we? But alas, all good things must come to an end…”

Squigglez looks puzzled. “Uh… yeah. Whatever you said. Now, Evermore, Prisoner 003…”

 

“Sing your sins!”

 

Notes:

erm prisoner song is Gold Rush by Taylor Swift idk

Chapter 13: - Memory 003 / #1 -

Notes:

erm sorry this was late i forgot to add this lmaooo

Chapter Text

Wine.

Olive Garden.

 

Boating license.

 

These things are known by me all too well.

After all… Call it what you want, but I really was on my own after that, huh?

To think they would do such a thing to someone as delicate as her…

The moment I knew… Well, maybe this is why we can’t have nice things.

Maybe if this was a movie it would go different, but something is telling me it would go exactly the same.

Sigh… I guess all we wanted was peace right? Oh well…

Chapter 14: (prisoner) shenanigans #4

Notes:

reminder that jackalope is a jackalope . that mythical rabbit with horns . small animal

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Squigglez and Jackalope are overseeing the prisoners from above. Squigglez is drinking some tea while Jackalope has a bowl of water.

Jackalope breaks the silence,“Ugh, that Robert Grove guy is a real egotistical hot-head. If I were you, I’d vote him GUILTY straight away.”

Squigglez looks at Jackalope curiously, “Jackalope, we haven’t even interrogated him.”

“So what? A first impression of a human reveals about 95% of them.”

“Really? Is that so?”

“Mhm.”

“How do you feel about the others then?”

“Hm… How about we go in order?”

“Whatever works for you.”

Jackalope thinks to himself, “Let’s see… First prisoner is Philomena Cunk. Now, she may seem stupid, but look a bit more into her and she is still very stupid but with intelligence smeared on.”

“That’s… not very helpful.”

“Well, humans are lying beings aren’t they? I could be wrong. Though I don’t care much about their personal life. That’s for you to figure out.”

“I see.”

“Next is Vanessa. She’s a peculiar one isn’t she? I would tread carefully around her. Who knows what she’s like under that layer of beauty?”

“Okay…?”

“Next is Evermore. She’s a proper beauty! If I were you, I would vote her INNOCENT right away! She might be sheltered and in her 30’s, but those beauty genes gotta be passed on!”

Squigglez interjects,“Jackalope! Is it really right to judge based on looks?”

“I mean, if we judge based on the law, why are we even here?”

“Oh, right. But still, I wouldn’t really do that…”

“You get to judge their forgiveness on your own standards, so you shouldn’t worry. Love in this prison isn’t prohibited either. What’s stopping a little rabbit from simply complimenting someo- HUH?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING RABBIT HUH?!”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Oh for… Sigh, anyway next is Sunny.”

“Oh, the kid?”

“Precisely! To think an elementary student would be able to kill someone… Though strange, it’s not the first time someone his age has been here, there have even been younger people here!”

“Woah…”

“Then there’s Liz. Prisoner 5. Though not necessarily my type, I certainly wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to get with her!”

Squigglez scoffs, “Ugh, how absurd.”

“Hey! I’m speaking from the heart here!”

“Whatever you say. Well then, why haven’t you said anything about Philomena?”

“The first prisoner? Eh, don’t care much about her.”

“...Hm.”

“Prisoner 6… Tim. What an absolute nerd. Even his face reflects it. Though, thankfully for me, I don’t think he’ll be able to steal any ladies with his nonexistent charm.”

“Can we move past the topic of love? This isn’t all fun and games.”

“It isn’t! But let me just have this, okay? I rarely get to speak about the prisoners”

“Sure.”

“Prisoner 7, *scoffs* Robert Grove. You know how I feel about that old geezer. But hey, don’t just base it off of my opinions, it’s your judgment after all.”
“Right.”

“Next, Nicole. About high school age? A little higher I must say. I don’t trust her at all.”

“Why not?”

“You know teenagers. Always so unsympathetic, so sociopathic. No offense.”

“None taken.”

“Prisoner 9, Mafuyu Asahina. High schooler. Though, don’t be tricked by that facade of hers, I can tell there’s something going on with her.”

“Really?”

“Mhm, the smile of hers… there’s nothing behind it at all. It's just an empty expression.”

“Uh… okay.”

“Then there’s MAYU. Also a high schooler. She’s a mysterious one, isn’t she? Just by looking at her, she’s no ordinary girl.”

“That’s all, isn’t it?”

“Yep! Oh, I think it’s almost time for the meals.” Jackalope jumps down from the table.

“See you in a bit, gotta cook up something for the prisoners!” And with that, Jackalope walked (???? whatever rabbits do) quickly out of the room.

Notes:

erm i kinda based this off of the es voice drama (when i say kinda i mean this was inspired by it)

Chapter 15: Prisoner 004 - First Trial

Notes:

snnuy

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Sunny sits in the interrogation chair, curled up in a fetal position as Squigglez walks in.

“Prisoner 004, it’s time for your- Huh? What are you doing?”

Sunny quietly whispers out, “N- no… I don’t want… You’re going to do something bad to me… No.. I’m sorry…”

“Don’t worry, this is just an interrogation. Unless needed, I won’t restrain you. I don’t intend on using violence or torture anyway.”

“You… promise…?”

“Yeah.”

“Um… Alright…”

Sunny sits up.

Squigglez takes a breath. “So, as you may know, MILGRAM exists to reveal the sins of you and your peers. So, for that reason, we’ll just be chatting for a bit.”

“Huh…”

“So, tell me about yourself.”
“Um… My name is Sunny… I am… 16 years old-”

“Wait, hold on, 16?”

“Um… yes…”

“You look way younger than that.”

“I… I get that alot… I haven’t gone outside in 4 years… ever since… since th-”

“Your murder?”

“Um,.. yes… that’s why I'm here… right?”

“Yes, indeed.”

“Okay… I see…”

“You’re supposed to be in high school at that age. Heck, you’re even older than me! At least I think…”

“...can I pet you?”

“Wh- Excuse me?”

“...You have cat ears…”

“What, do they intrigue you?”

“...can I pet you?”

“Sigh,”Squigglez takes off their hat. “Go ahead.”

Sunny lightly pets Squigglez on the head. They put their hat back on immediately after.

“Sorry… I got curious…”

“Uh… It’s okay, I guess. It didn’t make me too uncomfortable, probably…”

“Okay…”

“Alright, let’s just proceed with the inter-”

Jackalope appears.

“Jackalope what are you- What?! Ugh, alright… Yeah, yeah, I get it.”

Sunny is slightly startled. “U- um did you just converse with that bunny…?”

“...he wants to be petted too.”

“Oh, okay..”

Sunny pets Jackalope. Jackalope looks very pleased.

Squigglez is getting a bit impatient.“Right, you got what you wanted, can we continue with the interrogation now? Mhm. Yeah. Alright.”

Jackalope leaves.

“Um… was that… even a bunny…? It had… Deer antlers… not normal… still cute…”

“Jackalope.”

“Um… yeah… you talk… to animals?”

“Yeah. Jackalope’s voice can only be heard by me.”

“Oh… I see… No judgment… I imagine wild things too…”

“It’s not imagin- whatever… What do you imagine?”

“Dream world… big… friends… animals… sprout mole… tofu…” Sunny gags a little. “...I don’t like tofu… Basil likes tofu… Oh, I’ve said too much… sorry…”

“Oh, no it’s fine.”

“Oh… okay…”

“I’ve noticed, you haven’t been too put off by the environment of MILGRAM, have you?”

“No… It’s nice… Vanessa lady… nice… ink blot tests with her… Beds could be better but… prison…”

“Do you have any hobbies besides… sleeping?”

“Um… no… sometimes I do chores… but I sleep… a lot…”

“I see…”

Sunny suddenly starts dozing off, but is immediately awoken by a loud mechanical bell. He curls back up into a fetal position.

“H- huh?! I- I’m scared… What's happening…? Please don’t hurt me…”

“Sigh… we didn’t get to talk much but I guess this will do. We’ll take a peek into your heart now.”

“Um… that’s the song thingy… right? It doesn’t hurt… does it…?”

“No.”

“Oh… good…”

“Now… Prisoner number 04, Sunny…”

 

“SING YOUR SINS!”

first trial prisoner song is tea errors by jack stauber woah

Chapter 16: - Memory 004 / #1 -

Notes:

im actually proud of this chapter woah

Chapter Text

“Don’t worry SUNNY… It wasn’t your fault…”

 

A violin.

Sheet music scattered on the floor.

Why? 

Why did it have to be her to go and not me?

 

“Look at these memories we have of each other…”

 

Polaroids neatly sorted in a photo album.

Friends.

Family.

Broken memories and forgotten promises.

 

“Let’s cherish them together… okay?”

 

Teardrops on the barren floor.

Just so they can dry up.

Stray strands of hair go unnoticed.

Dust sitting in the corner, just waiting to be cleaned.

 

 

“Everything is going to be okay…”

 

Close your eyes.

What do you see?

Is it a void of darkness? A white void?

Or perhaps…?

 

“Promise me that we’ll always be there for each other…”

 

Your friend hugs you.

It makes no sense.

Is it possible for comfort to exist in a moment of despair?

Is it possible to disconnect yourself from the blame?

 

“Promise me…”

 

Open your eyes.

Your friends are waiting for you. 

They’re all waiting for you.

 

Will you join them, OMORI?

Chapter 17: prisoner shenanigans #5

Chapter Text

“So, you’re a documentarian, huh?”

Liz walks up to Philomena.

“Yeah? What about it?”

“Sounds deeply uninteresting,” Liz taunted.

Philomena agrees.“Yeah, no, it is. But, hey, at least I get to go places. Ever seen any of them? The documentaries, I mean.”

“No. Waste of time watching documentaries really. Couldn’t give a fuck.”

“Honestly? Me too. If only I wasn’t getting paid to do this shit, but eh.”

Liz sighs. “Ugh… Could go for a fag right now.”

“What, are you like, gay or do you smoke?”

“Why not both?”

They both chuckle.

“You know… we aren’t so different, you and I,” Philomena mentions.

Liz agrees,“Oh yeah. We could probably trick half of these people that we are each other.”

“Haha… what?”

“What?”

 

They stare at each other. Not in a romantic way but in a way where you look at a word too long it starts looking weird. To them it started feeling like they were staring into a void… or perhaps a mirror?

 

Philomena breaks the silence, “Um- anyways, you got any friends?”

Chapter 20: prisoner shenanigans #6

Chapter Text

Vanessa is seen trying to brush Sunny’s hair, with Tim and Philomena watching.

Tim says, “Good grief… your hair is extremely oily… How often do you take a shower?”

Sunny reluctantly responds,  “Um… about… at least once a month…? I usually fall asleep halfway through though…”

Philomena comments, “Jesus Christ. I can’t blame you though, lately I haven’t had the energy to take a bath…”

Vanessa states, “Yeah, I can tell you don’t wash your hair often. You got a hell ton of dandruff…”

“Sorry…”

Tim asks, “Have your parents told you anything about it? I’m sure they would’ve noticed…”

“Um… not really? I’m usually awake during the day… and by then they’ve already gone to work… and I'm usually asleep by the time they come back… which is pretty late…”

“What about weekends?”

“Um…”

Philomena interrupts, “You know what, that’s it. We’re going to give your hair a proper wash.”

Tim agrees, “Yeah, and plus! You deserve it! Take a load off! Just don’t fall asleep, okay?”

Sunny goes along with them, “Um… okay… sure…”

 

They walk over to the bathrooms and set up a makeshift hair washing basin. Philomena gathers the supplies for a deep scalp cleaning.

Philomena says, “You know, for a prison I’d never think that they would have such a large selection of shampoos and conditioners to use.”

Vanessa responds, “Oh yeah, true. I was surprised too.”

Tim puts on gloves and gets to work on Sunny’s hair.

Philomena mentions, “Tim, you really seem like you know what you’re doing.”

Tim replies, “Thanks! I have some experience washing hair (after losing a bet to Cassie…) and I clean Moby at least once a month to get rid of extra oil build up (or at least I used to…). I also have my own hair-care routine!”

“Moby? Who’s Moby?” Philomena asks.

Tim pauses.

“He… He’s a robot… He’s my friend. We live together.”

Tim looks like he has a lot more on his mind, but he brushes it off, continuing to wash Sunny’s hair.

Vanessa adds on, “Robots? I used to work with robots back at the pizzaplex- or actually they were animatronics…”

 

After getting washed and his hair blow dried, Sunny took a look at his hair in the mirror. It was significantly cleaner than usual, and he lit up. “Woah…”

Sunny turns to Tim and says, “Ah- t- thank you, big brother- ah I mean- T- Tim…”

Tim responds lightheartedly,“Oh, no problem! (Did he just call me his brother…?)”

“I promise I’ll make it up to you someday…!”

“Oh, please, you don’t have to!”

Sunny turns to Vanessa and Philomena.“A-and you two too..! Thank you…!”

Vanessa replied, “Oh- no it was nothing. I have experience wrangling with kids, you’re one of the calmest ones I’ve met so far. (I should thank you, if anything…)”

Philomena added, “Oh, yeah, no problem mate.”

Chapter Text

Liz sits down at the interrogation table, when Squigglez enters the room.

“Right, prisoner number 5, Liz, yes?”

“First trial interrogation and shit? Yeah, they told me. I have nothing to lose, nothing to hide, I’m already imprisoned for murder here, so let’s get this shit done and dealt with, yeah?” Liz grins.

“...Right. So tell me, how’s life in MILGRAM?”

Liz thinks to herself, “...’bout average? Nothing special really. It’s like glamping but instead of the camping part it's a prison.”

Squigglez’s ears perk up. “You’ve been in prison before?”

“Well I was arrested for stabbing my ex once. With a spork. Got a notice for sporking.” Liz giggles at the thought.

“Why are you laughing, that’s… not a laughing matter, is it?”

“You’re 15, you wouldn’t know. And plus, I don’t think you would give a shit about a phrase that is commonly used to describe spooning someone with an erection, haha." Liz mumbles the last sentence.

“Excuse me?”

“...Shit, you’ve got 4 ears, ‘course you heard that.” Liz looks away.

Squigglez sighs, “...So, I’ve heard you’re a mother?”

“Yep, got two of them. I wonder who’s taking care of them now since I’m gone…”

“What about your husband- erm- Ex-husband?”

“Oh FUCK, I never got that decree absolute done did I?”

“A what?”

“Divorce shit, doesn’t matter.” Liz mumbles, “Wonder what’s happened to Julia and Kevin… and Amanda… And Anne and Meg…”Liz sighs and moves on, “How’d you get this job anyway? You’re 15, not even human, a prison warden... Do you even get paid?”

“Doesn’t matter, I’ve been brought here to judge your sins.”

Liz goes on, “Who’s that rabbit creature anyway, he’s always staring at me- FOR FUCK’S SAKE, DOES THE BLOODY RABBIT HAVE A CRUSH ON ME?! First random men on the high street flirting with me and now a… weird looking rabbit… That sounds mental when you say it out loud, Jesus bloody Christ…”

Squigglez just stares at Liz in slight concern.

Liz added, “Now that I think about it, this entire prison is fucking mental, we have a nerdy 18-year-old genius, a 16-year-old boy with depression who hadn’t been outside in 4 years, and a documentarian who looks just like me! A fucking doppelgänger! Who would’ve thought both of us would end up in the same prison for the same crime! Fucking hell!”

 Squigglez realizes, “Oh yeah! That's what it was! I always thought you two looked similar…”

“What was what?”

“Nothing.”

“Oh go on, I wanna know.”

“You don’t need to know anything. I’m the prison warden, remember? I can tell you as much and as little of unimportant information as I want.”

Liz sighs, “Oh, for fuck’s sake…”Liz looks a away for a moment and looks back at Squigglez,“D’you got any booze?”

“This is a prison. And I’m 15.”

“Right, of course you haven’t. I’ll just ask the rabbit then.” Liz says sarcastically.

“Please don’t.”

“I’m joking.”

“Oh, right… yeah…”

Liz looks off, “I wonder if he would though…”

Squigglez admits, “...you could also ask for it in the item request form.”

Liz perks up,“Wait, really?! You can do that?”

“Yeah. I go through the forms. And get all the items too… I have my ways though. And when I say I have my ways I mean I get it all online.”

“Is that how you were able to get a full size piano?”

“Yeah. Also I’m considered an adult in Puerto Rico and Haiti. And even then being an unidentified creature, no one knows my actual age so I can say anything I want-”

“And also no one gives a shit because of the ears?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

“Alright then.”

A loud mechanical bell rings.

Liz gets startled, “Oh- for FUCK’S SAKE, what was that?!”

“It’s the end of the interrogation. I’ll be taking a peek at your true “heart” now.”

“Is this the bit with the whole song extracting thing?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright then, go on, have a look at my fucking heart. I have nothing to lose.”

“Prisoner number 5, Liz. Come now…”

 

“Sing your sins!”

Chapter 23: prisoner shenanigans #7

Notes:

short chapter, just wanted to get one in this month lmao finals and stuff yeah

Chapter Text

Nicole is walking around the prison, listening to music on some sort of (probably knock-off) mp3 player with cheap headphones. It’s 3 am.

Suddenly a voice jumps at her from behind.

“Well well well! What are you doing at this time of night? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” It’s Mayu, looking as awake as ever.

Nicole flinches, “OH FUCK- JESUS CHRIST DON’T FUCKING SCARE ME LIKE THAT! FUCK OFF BACK TO YOUR FUCKING CELL!”

Mayu persists, “You didn’t answer my question~”

“Why the fuck do you care?! It’s none of your fucking business, creep. What are you even doing here, fucking bitch?”

“Hmm, good point! Truth is, I couldn’t sleep, hehe.”

Nicole scoffs, “So you decided to take a walk. Around the prison.”

“Yep!~”

“Why don’t you ask for xanax or trazodone or doxepin or some shit?”

“Well, you certainly know your way around drugs! That kinda stuff doesn’t really work with me.” Mayu smiles.

“In any case, go fuck off bitch, I wanna walk on my own.”

“Alright, alright, fine, I’ll leave you alone. Have fun!” Mayu finally walks off.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” Nicole looks back. “That bitch…” She thinks to herself, “That bitch is weird.” Then she walked off.

Chapter Text

Tim sits down at the interrogation table when Squigglez walks in.

“Hello, prisoner number 6, Tim. I hope you didn’t wait long.”

“Oh, no it’s fine. I just sat down.”

Squigglez sits down.

“I assume you’re going to ask me about myself?”

“Precisely. As you know, MILGRAM exists to reveal the sins of you, the prisoners, and to hand down the correct judgement.”

“Ah, I see. Well, should I start with a brief self-introduction?”

“Whatever works for you.”

“Mhm,” Tim clears his throat, “My name is Tim, I’m 18 years old, I’m currently in high school, and I post educational videos online.”

“Educational videos?”

“Yep!”

“I see. I’ve heard you’re interested in a career in education as well.”

“Yes, I wish to become a teacher. How about you?”

“What?”

Tim tilts his head to the side, curiously. “Is there anything you want to become?”

“It’s not any of my concern. My current position is prison guard and that’s all I know of.”

“Interesting… I see. I guess some people are like that. Focused on the now. Of the things of current high importance.”

“Isn’t those two the same thing?”

“If you see it that way, I guess so!”

“Hm. You’re a very cheerful person for someone currently in prison.”

“Well the past is the past, isn’t it? The only thing you can change is the future. I try to… move past things that…”Tim starts mumbling. 

Squigglez moves closer. “Speak up. You’re mumbling.”

Tim apologizes,“Oh! I’m so sorry. What I meant was, well… I try not to care too much about things that hold me back.”

“I see. But isn’t being a prisoner something that is holding you back?”

“Holding me back from what? I can still do some of the things I like doing, like reading comics. Being a prisoner is a consequence of my actions I must accept, and then move on.”

“So you’re that kind of person, one that prefers going with the flow rather than restricting and going another direction.”

“I guess that’s one way of putting it!”

“I see.”

Squigglez thinks to themself. “But even so, you’d still want to become a teacher. That’s not usually a job most teenagers aspire to take.”

“Oh, yes that’s true. So… I guess you could say I like to go with my heart. It goes with the flow in its own, special way. Even when you go with the flow, there’s crossroads where you have to choose one path or another. That makes us all unique.”

“I guess that’s one way to put it.”

A loud mechanical bell rings.

“Oh? What’s that for?”

“It’s the end of the interrogation.”

“I see. Is this when the song extracting thing happens?”

“Exactly.”

“Huh… I wonder what my song sounds like…”

“Prisoner number 6, Tim. Come now…” 

 

“Sing your sins!”

Notes:

first trial song is Q by Siinamota !!!

Chapter 26: prisoner shenanigans #8

Notes:

yes this is based off one of the minigrams no i dont give a shit

Chapter Text

Mayu, Philomena, and Robert are in sleeping bags arranged right next to each other.

Mayu hums,“Hm… hm..? Are any of you asleep yet?”

Philomena responds,“Nope.”

Mayu sits up, “...Hey I have an idea! How about we do some girl talk?”

Robert vacillated, “Girl talk?”
“Yeah! This feels kind of like a sleepover, doesn’t it? Even though you two are middle-aged adults, you can’t be too old for this kind of talk,”bubbled Mayu. Philomena and Robert are staring at her in bewilderment.

Mayu bursted out, “Philomena, you seem like the kind of person to be into this talk! Is there anyone you like? Someone you have the hots for, so to speak?”

Philomena, suddenly put on the spot, hesitated, “Wh… huh?! No? I have a girlfriend, if you must know. (Or had a girlfriend…. What the fuck? Why did I even agree to this…)”

“Well now we’re getting somewhere!” Mayu says excitedly, “How about you Robert?”

He scoffs, “Why me? If you must know, I had an ex, her name was Denise and I'm over her. End of story.”

Mayu thinks to herself, “Hm… this is still a bit boring…”

Robert interrupts, “Actually, I have a few love stories from my theatre troupe. Max and Sandra, and Vanessa and Dennis.”

Philomena perks up, “Hey wait, you were a part of the Cornley Drama Society, weren’t you? I remember those!”

Robert squints at her, “You what? Wait… hold on, you’re the Philomena?!”

Philomena nods, “Yep. Been to all of your lot’s shows. Every single one, since your polytechnic days.”

“Why? We’re mediocre at best.”

“True. Don’t know why I come anymore. I guess it’s boredom or something. Either way, I don’t give a shit.”

Philomena then lies back down.

Mayu giggles, “Well… We kind of got off topic, but I consider this girls talk to be a success!”

Philomena and Robert glare slightly at Mayu, before attempting to go to sleep.

Chapter 27: Prisoner 005 / Liz - Interrogation Questions #1

Chapter Text

1 - If one wish were to come true?
A: For my friends and family to be okay without me.

 

2 - Are you employed?

A: Uber driver. Used to work at Citizen’s Advice, until one of my calls was recorded for training purposes.

 

3 - How do you feel about love?

A: Some people might be into that sort of thing. I don’t care for it. Married once, and he turned out to be a dick. Friendship is where it’s at.

 

4 - Is there any prisoner you’re close with?

A: Nicole seems rude but she’s nice. Kind of. Philomena to me feels… familiar. Like we’re one in the same. But we’re not the same. 

 

5 - Do you smoke cigarettes?

A: Fuck yeah. I don’t suppose they allow them in here though.

 

6 - How are you with kids?

A: They’re manageable to a point. Don’t ask anything of them but they will ask of you.

 

7 - Outside of the prison, is there anyone you care about?

A: My friends and children.

 

8 - Favorite pastime?

A: Something I like to call fucking around. But I like spending time with my friends too.

 

9 - Do you often drink?

A: Yeah. Nothing too fancy though, I don’t have that kind of money. I’m an Uber driver, what do you expect?

 

10 - Morning or night?

A: Night. 

 

11 - Is there anything you hate?

A: Some teenagers. And my ex. But I’m still legally married to him, unfortunately. 

 

12 - Do you believe in an afterlife?

A: I guess. I like to think there is a nice place to go to after you die.

 

13 - Do you get angry often?

A: No? 

 

14 - What do you consider a “friend”?

A: Someone to rely on, someone you can resort to when you need it.

 

15 - What’s your type?

A: Anyone I could probably get a one night stand with. Prison warden, I really hope you’re not trying to get with me. Or did that rabbit ask this question? Either way it’s weird…

 

16 - What would you do if you had lots of money?

A: Depends. Is there a catch? You need to be clear on the conditions, mate.

 

17 - Do you have apologetic feelings for the person you murdered?

A: Not really. Cause and effect. Your actions have consequences.

 

18 - Do you regret your murder?

A: A little.

A: This place is more comfortable than usual prisons.

 

20 - Do you wish for forgiveness?

Chapter 28: Prisoner 006 / Tim - Interrogation Questions #1

Chapter Text

1 - If one wish were to come true?

A: For the others to be okay.

 

2 - Do you have any special skills?

A: Does being really smart count? 

 

3 - Who’s in your family?

A: Now it’s just me and my parents.

 

4 - Difference between adult and child?

A: I’d say it’s age. There can be mature kids and childish adults, but I think age is where it really counts.

 

5 - When it comes to actions, do ethics or feelings come first?

A: Depends. Sometimes ethics influence feelings and vice-versa.

 

6 - Any prisoner you’re close with? 

A: I’ve developed an acquaintanceship with everyone, I suppose. I try to help everyone the best I can!

 

7 - Do you believe in past-lives or reincarnation or anything like that?

A: I think they’re neat ideas!

 

8 - Do you regret your “murder”?

A: I think… If I didn’t convince him it was okay… maybe things would have turned differently…

 

9 - Favorite amusement park ride?

A: I think they’re all great! I love roller coasters for the thrill and the feeling of the fast wind on your face, and calmer rides are great if you want to have fun and take a little bit of a break too!

 

10 - What’s the meaning of life?

A: Ah, that’s a very broad question, but a completely understandable one at that! I’m not too into philosophy, but the answer for that varies from person to person, I suppose.

 

11 - Do you listen to music?

A: Yep! Even started an emo band once! It was embarrassing actually…

 

12 - When do you go to sleep?

A: Depends! The least amount of sleep I got was about 4 hours, and that was while researching a REALLY big topic. I ended up redoing it all from scratch!

 

13 - What would you do if the world ended tomorrow?

A: Get out the bucket list and start to go through it all! There’s not a second to waste!

A: Teachers and educators.

18 - Is there anyone you admire?

A: Once again, teachers and educators.

 

19 - Do you want to be forgiven?

A: …

 

20 - How do you feel about your imprisonment?

A: It’s much more comfortable than most prisons! But then again, there are other prisons that are probably more comfortable than here, probably. But I’m lucky to end up in a place like this… I think.

Chapter Text

“Oi, where are you off to?” Liz yells over to Robert, who is walking toward one of the more ventilated areas of the prison. 

“If you’re going to try and escape this place, there’s no use. That bratty girl that looks like she’s stuck in ‘09 tried to escape earlier and then was restrained by that fuckass rabbit.”

Robert scoffs, “Firstly, I’m not going to try to escape. I’d rather have someone else do that for me. Secondly, I'm off to smoke.”

Liz is surprised. “Holy shit! They allow us to do that? Since this is a prison I just assumed that it would be like that.”

Robert replies, “The warden said we're allowed to do whatever we want within reason during our free time. And they accepted my request for a few boxes of cigs. What, do you want one?”

“I’ve got a light, if you’re interested.”

“Ugh, fine.”

Notes:

ooh its the long awaited short little update to multigram
since i gave this fanfic a little alex horne spin-off, i'd figured it was time to finally update this one . dont expect any deaths in the third trial like the actual milgram if i even get that far lmao .... anyways the alex horne spin off will go on to second and third trial much faster than this because im only dealing with one prisoner lol dw its a completely different story there and it wont affect this one much
