Tom shrugged, "Alrighty, then." He wasn't sure how to respond, and being alone with him was appearing less and less helpful to his cause of getting out of cleaning the chow hall himself. He suddenly felt like he was in danger. Not imminent, blood pumping death probability, but more equated to being in an eerie dark and unfamiliar place.

Snowflake's colored coat danced in Tom's peripheral vision and caught him off guard. Tom nearly jumped out of his skin, and the black and grey pony simply kept to his own. There was no way he had seen Snowflake coming. Tom assumed that he had to have heard him, but the fact that Snowflake's sudden appearance in the chow hall didn't phase him AT ALL was a bit unnerving.

 

What was this pony in for again? Tom thought to himself while wishing he was face to face with this pony's file rather than him in the flesh.

 

"Snow! Buddy!" Tom nervously chuckled, "You scared the shit out of me!" Tom trotted to Snowflake and pulled him close, "This guy is freaking me out."

 

Tom pushed Snowflake away to a reasonable distance, "So, inmate..." Tom began falling short on what to call him, "How about you finish wiping down the bar, and we get some of that good chow, eh?" Tom usually would kick the inmate to his housing unit with whatever he planned to give him, but Tom was far too morbidly intrigued by this mysterious pony.

 

Despite his intrigue, he still wanted another pony nearby to witness what this pony was saying. Who better than the facility's interrogation officer.

The arrival of the Interrogator wasn't unnoticed, just ignored.  He had learned to phase out activity around him, to concentrate on only what he choose.  At the moment, it was the guard's previous question.  Why shouldn't I use my old name? he was asking himself.  Nopony here knows about my actions.  I could easily just take it back.  But would it mean anything to him, reclaiming his identity without cause?

 

"How about you finish wiping down the bar, and we get some of that good chow, eh?" 

 

"Very well," he said, moving over to begin the task.  Finding a rag and small bucket of water sitting next to the bar, he began wiping it down, while still pondering the question.    ....you have a name?

Tom was astounded and uneasy. Inmates were never this compliant without a bit of lip. The responses from them were usually, "What's in it for me?" or a cursing grumble. Never in his five years there had he heard, "Very well" from an inmate after a command. Very eerie indeed. He tried not to make it obvious that he was making his way around the cafeteria as far away from the inmate as possible while giving him a thorough look-over. He feigned stepping over wet spots and generally trying to stay out of the area in which the inmate had just cleaned. Tom studied him in his false conveyance of courtesy.

 

Tom made his way to the holding cooler and nodded to the other guard, "Hey, Snowflake." He pulled his key ring from the shoulder clip on the duty rig attached to his stab vest and held the keys on a hoof while tonguing from key to key, "I'm writing off some hot-daisies and lilac omelettes as waste for the contractors." He took the master-lock off the door and dropped it while fumbling to get his keys back on the vest. Tom cursed to himself and left it on the floor as he reached into the walk-in fridge for a couple of cling-wrapped boxes inside. "It's an off the books exchange for this pony cleaning the cafeteria for me."

 

The key-ring clicked as it was re-secured to his shoulder, and it jingled as Tom nosed his way between the vinyl strip curtains above the threshold. Tom called to Snowflake while waist deep in the cooler's doorway, "That's cool with you, right?"

"Wait, immortality, you can transform into a girl... what?" I stammered as I couldn't form a complete sentence. This was like a plot out of a cheesy movie I was watched on a dare. I couldn't even comprehend this, but I suppose given the fact that this whole is ruled by two princess's that are practically immortal demigods that control the sun and moon kind of eases the shock value of this. I mean I suppose it's possible that they aren't just messing with me... Scratch that, Atlas doesn't joke around though it begs the question. Why did he never tell me any of this before? I knew he trusted me, but did he think I wouldn't believe him? I have no idea, I can't even form a coherent thought right now let alone anything else.

I sighed to myself.

 

"If it weren't for all the crazy nonsense I've been through with you Atlas, I would have never even considered believing this insanity."

 

I smiled to myself, at least things weren't boring anymore. Besides this explains A LOT of Atlas' quirky actions on the island. Especially that little break down of his... I still had a lot of questions but honestly I don't think I had the mental capacity to process anything else right now. I'm already overloaded at that moment and its starting to give me a headache. That or it was my daily reminder of how messed up my magic was. Judging by the time, I probably had to go down to the medical center and take my meds. The daily migraine was a pain but at least I got a better cell because of it. Who says being disabled is all bad...

Tom returned from the cooler and whispered to Snowflake, "I'm going to send this pony back to the housing unit with this stuff. We don't want any of the inmates finding out that we gave him this stuff. I don't want them asking for favors."

 

Tom set the small boxes down on the table and said to the inmate, "This stuff will heat real nice on your hot plate back on the unit. Take it back to your cell, and then report to the rec yard for the rest of the hour." He turned away from the inmate and continued to whisper to Snowflake, "I'm not sure if you're keeping an eye outside, but we've got a small congregation of ponies that I'm not so sure about."

 

He led Snowflake to the double-pane windows and pointed with a hoof to the four ponies gathered together. "You interviewed that quiet one earlier, and I don't like that she's become so popular while we were inside."

 

Tom glanced back at the grey and black inmate, to make sure that he was outside of earshot. "Let's go break that up and figure out what's going on."

He stared at the boxes with mild surprise.  True, the guard did say he would get them, but he didn't believe it was the truth.  Of course, why do the extra chores then?  Simply put, he was bored.  While being sent here after being stripped of his identity was supposed to be punishment, and it was, there were days where he simply wanted something to do.  

 

He stacked the boxes up, nodded to the guard, and headed back to his cell.  Quietly, he placed them in a corner, and headed back out into the yard.  The sunlight caused him to wince a bit, while he looked around.  Choosing a spot not quite all by himself, be began doing some simple exercises, while watching the others, almost as if studying them...

Tom watched the ponies while making his way into the field. The massive fences surrounding the yard made the enormous acreage feel small, but Tom had become accustomed to being enclosed with these ponies.

 

Tom stopped about 30 meters from them without breaking his gaze from their group. He tapped Snowflake, "Let's just establish a presence and maybe they'll break it up on their own."

 

He shifted his sight around the yard to make sure that the black and grey one had followed his instructions. There was something about that pony that just wasn't right. To Tom's surprise, the inmate had made his way to the yard and was utilizing his recreation time for exercise as prescribed in the regulations which every inmate was to follow.

 

The correctional association required that all inmates receive the utmost health-care during their stay at the involuntary resort and spa. The outline was that inmates were required to consume three meals a day with adequate nutrients (not necessarily to taste good), to participate in good hygiene practice, and exercise daily so that the inmates remain healthy enough to return to society eventually with the least amount of reconditioning.

 

The ponies gathered away from everypony else were certainly not engaged in any exercise that Tom was familiar with, unless gum flapping was finally recognized as a real calorie burner. Tom doubted that they would alter their behavior because of Snowflake and his presence. Inmates often would passively do something wrong to see if the guards would both notice and correct them. As far as Tom could tell, their little group had no Crash-Test Dummies, or inmates that would continually fuck up so that everypony else in the unit could gauge exactly how far they could push an officer and what they could get away with.

 

Tom tapped Snowflake again and pointed at the inmates very conspicuously, "Watch them, Snowflake. If they break on their own, the first one to go is usually leading the group. If they don't, we'll separate them and send a couple of them to the housing units. Use clear commands to walk in specific directions. If they don't, we'll give them a class B write-up and lock them down in their cells for Failure to Follow Orders."

 

He took a deep breath as he watched them and unfastened his asp. He was sure they were up to something. He didn't know what, but their gathering simply didn't sit right with him. Inmates mostly weren't too accepting of orders, can't be too ready. Tom nodded to Snowflake, "Be ready to get mean, Snowflake."

@,

My head throbbed harder as my magic became more and more unstable. Usually my head never hurt this much, nor did my magic ever feel this wild inside me. After being sentenced here the ponies running the Med Pass had totally messed up my treatments, often times giving me too little of a dose or even completely skipping me like what's been happening the last few days. I could already feel the negative effects, and it wasn't very pleasant. I needed to take my meds before I began to lose control and blackout.

 

It makes me wonder why they put a pony like me with extremely aggressive enervation disorder in a maximum security prison like this instead of some other sort or alternative center. I'm practically a ticking time bomb here, if they kept messing up my meds like they keep doing my magic could seriously over power me and backfire. Heck it could possibly kill me if I had a full blown episode, not that these clowns cared. To them I'm just another scumbag locked up here.

 

I stood there rubbing my head as the medical staff got my medication together. My migraine was already pushing beyond what I could normally handle, I realize now even using my whisper spell was a dumb idea but what's done is done. All I could do now was wait and hope they get me my medicine in time, which I hoped was soon as my vision had already begun to blur.
