prison notes - kah

[kahara]

- look up prison rank/ward information
- research ^
- character
- layout idea/general set up
- location
- how they'd work cells. (inspired by koai's idea, a boulder in front of the cell block, alternatively, bars, though without a real known reason. alternatively, magic.)
-- magic guards locksmen or something. locking and opening the doors with magic.
- "Why kill those who have done you wrong? Give them a chance to redeem themselves. A chance to serve the community. A chance to rot." etc etc blah blah blah
- correctional facilities for those with additions or behavioral problems that can be fixed
- death sentences yes but in rare cases, also death is issued to those proving to be a common, unstoppable threat.
- an isolation ward for prisoners.
- guards and shit.

[kahara]

- guard positions are full time. theres a ward for them to sleep in.
- guards are marked by a burn on the shoulder ( ? ? ? ?? ? . . uh maybe)
- prisoners also marked with a burn, or perhaps a scratch or scar.

[kahara]

- the only way of entering as a prisoner is through trials. the prison is self-run by the highest authority and they can reject/accept prisoners for whatever reason. it isnt exactly safe or a 100% accurate system.

[Silverfang]

mmmm u tickle my inner lawyer-ness many much

[Silverfang]

i swear if they had bars to lock them out meurtrier is now a pride of blacksmiths
not that i have a problem with that, blacksmiths are fuckin h o t

[Jason]

Jasper halp with this?

[kahara]

SILV LOL

meur blacksmith daily \o/

Sure alice, whatcha think jasp could do?

[Noa]

It's gotta be secure, but not secure enough so you can stage breakouts.

Put it in the middle of the ocean, like Alcatraz. If anyone tries to escape they'll drown.

[kahara]

Oooh.

Maybe Jasper can rise an island in the middle of a large lake or out in the ocean, then?

I'm definitely thinking that all major guards will have some form of magic. The better the magic, the higher ranked guard they are. Four guards at a cave entrance at the beach. They open the cave, and it goes deep, deep down below the ocean. It's a very long walk -- which is why they don't walk. Carts created by the magician-guards speedily carry prisoners into the prison. It heads up into the center chamber where the prisoner is unloaded, numbered/burnt, and sent to the judge quarters.

Because the prison is self-run with no higher authority, the judge quarters is where the sentence is set. The judge is one of the high ranking officials in the prison.

(Thinking: Ward Keeper -- he's in control of everything.
Judges -- the power to lengthen or shorten sentences, among other things.
then guard ranks. Just numbers, maybe. Or something.)

[2:26:34 AM] Amber.: I'm thinking the prison may be a bit corrupt
[2:26:50 AM] Amber.: There is no real justice system. The prison lead ward/head dude whatever decides if someone is accepted into prison or not
[2:27:09 AM] Amber.: They also decide, once the prisoner is in prison, whether or not they actually die and how long their service is
[2:27:24 AM] Amber.: The guards can be honest and hard working, but I imagine some may take full advantage of the prisoners
[2:27:30 AM] Amber.: Claiming theyre "breaking them in"

I'll also map out a general layout idea, but, I'm thinking the prison could actually be rather large. Like Noa said, Alcatraz. Perhaps four to five levels in a circle. So it's sort of set up like an arena, only it's got halls and shit, closed off areas, etc, and of course, the prison cells.

Speaking of which, I'm really geared for the prison cells being opened and closed with magic. Perhaps each wing of the prison has someone who can open and close each door on command as they please, without even being close to it. They just need the cell or prisoners name to know which to open or close. How is it closed?

Spikes. Spikes come up from the ground, much like bars, and keep the prisoners locked in. For added security, bars come from across too.

Being in the middle of the ocean, bodies can be dumped into the sea.
LEADING TO CREEPY GHOSTIE STORIES
SPOOPY!!!



UH

But yeah anyone else want in like, character wise? I've a few characters I'll throw in. I know we'll need high positions filled before it's open. The prison doesn't need to be bustling with activity, either.

Alice, perhaps a roleplay where Jasper has already talked to the Ward Keeper to-be and is setting up the island and everything. Teaser for the public to hint at this! I think the ward keeper will be Ira, my female char. She's brutal. :3 Jasper could also be apart of it, of course. Perhaps he's like, a torturer? Tortures information out of prisoners if there's a situation at hand.

THROW IT AT ME YO

[Noa]

I'd be happy to throw Estevan, Viktoria or maybe even Cannival in. Those are the characters I think would be free and suit the job.

[FJ]

> INTERESTED WITH PERSEUS

[kahara]

I could see Estevan being a grumpy guard. Especially toward force-breeders locked up.

"SIT THE FUCK DOWN YOU FUCKING SHIT. >8C"

[FJ]

[1:47:30 AM] FJ: I'm thinking I might pull an idea from Cry's bloodlines lp and have Persy's amulet around his neck be something like a blood reservoir, and whatever he doesn't use personally gets put into use in blood magic
[1:48:14 AM] Amber.: Oooh I like it
[1:48:19 AM] Amber.: Ooo
OOOOOOO
[1:49:58 AM] Amber.: Dude maybe we could have it where-- PLEASE PASTE THIS ALL IN THE THREAD TOO IM LAZY LOL --prisoners locked up have blood put in a locked of some sort and it's hung in "The Keep" which is a room for information and documents on the prisoners
[1:51:35 AM] FJ: Perhaps Persy could use that to, should anybody escape, seek them out in a hunt? Ergo his job would actually be a hunter foremost/guard second? o;
[1:57:35 AM] Amber.: Yes
[1:57:35 AM] Amber.: omg
[1:57:41 AM] Amber.: That's brilliant
[1:57:56 AM] Amber.: The blood is used to assure prisoners who escape and hunted down properly
[2:02:10 AM] FJ: + as for an escape idea, if there's a transport tunnel, there's likely a few more for various tasks such as food/supplies, staff [might not have a clear exit for this one], emergency exit with the beginning of its entrance in the staff area, ect
there could also be a generalized series of maintenence tunnels with a line that leads topside for removal of waste products and such that if it goes overlooked or a guard stationed on it is bribed, it's possible to escape through
Sort of acts like a sewer
[2:04:56 AM] FJ: Better yet, perhaps as that duty is generally gross and undesirable, they have teams of slaves pull carts of waste?
[2:05:56 AM] Amber.: Oo yes
[2:06:01 AM] Amber.: PUT THIS IN THE THREAD TOO>w>
[2:06:08 AM] Amber.: Perhaps
[2:06:15 AM] Amber.: Maybe Alice can have Jasper create a plumming system
[2:06:16 AM] Amber.: LOL
[2:06:20 AM] FJ: Or if it /is/ placed in an ocean, they could have an area where water is sucked up via some pumps and they move the carts to there, so it's not actually an exit it's a runoff system--
[2:06:23 AM] FJ: oooo;
[2:06:24 AM] Amber.: They can shit in holes that push water down into the ocean
[2:06:27 AM] Amber.: hehehehehae
[2:06:28 AM] FJ: omfg
[2:06:29 AM] FJ: ROFL

[2:20:32 AM] FJ: whispers Kah I've another plot idea
[2:21:22 AM] Amber.: whispers tell me
[2:22:40 AM] FJ: If an important figure is placed in the prison and they believe they're withholding information, they could either offer rewards to inmates for bringing such information /orrrrr/
orrrr
have a spy get thrown through the treatment
I'd opt Grenade in for something like that
[2:24:14 AM] Amber.: Ooo yes
[2:24:47 AM] Amber.: I can see the Ward Keeper actually taking bribes and deals. Offering info on what the inmates say to prides at war in exchange for new guard material, such as cubs trained in prison to be guards

[Taboo]

Donahue could be a guard. <o<

[kahara]

So those interested with chars..

- Ira: Ward Keeper
- Donahue: Guard
- Perseus: Guard
- Jasper: ??

Also, I think there'll be three judges..
