When Monica was feeling a little less injured - but no less, uh, dizzy - she signed up for another shift manning the prison's security. It was an easy enough job, after all, and it was better to be at least a little bit useful. And it wasn't like they could just forget about this, not even after they'd begun venturing out into the world. (Monica hoped that meant escape was in their future. Maybe even some time this week.)
What she didn't count on was recognizing the person she was patrolling with. "You!" she said, pointing. It'd been a while since that fight, but it was the same guy...right?

Kaethus was excited for this. Easy as pie. He thought to himself as he joined his patrol to get to the fences. Though the other day he'd been snickering about whoever was going to have to deal with them he wanted to show that he could do. Among other things. He stood tall as he joined her. And was greeted with something he hadn't expected. Familiarity.
"Me?" He said, pointing at himself. "Ooooh." It was her! Kaethus could remember that look he got from her during their skirmish with the undying. His mouth curled into a smirk. "You sound so happy to see me! Did you miss me or something?" There was a grin her way and he focused on her completely. It'd been a while since he'd spoken to a girl. How did suave go again?

"Miss you? I don't even know you!" Monica stuck her chin out at him. (He was a nice partner to have for this particular job, she thought, even if he'd said something quite unflattering about women the other day: he was tall enough to reach easily over the fences. At least, he looked it.) She craned her neck up at him. "...but I totally heard what you said about getting rid of girls when we were fighting that undying," she added.
Actually, that was about all she remembered of the encounter. It'd been chaotic - she hadn't heard exactly what he'd heard, although the fact that she'd managed to interpret the comment as at least vaguely genocidal...
Well. She marched off to the electric fence, eyes already focused on what she'd noticed while they were talking. A body. Which, Monica could admit, she was pretty accustomed to seeing out here. But right now she was supposed to push it away...and she did so, although she had to reach up onto her tiptoes to get to it. Take that! she thought to it viciously. She was so good at this. Of course, just as she was thinking that, it shocked her.
Wait. He hadn't seen that, right?

Kaethus kept his stupid grin while looking at her. "I'm Kaethus." He retorted, watching her chin stick out and her craning neck. "Eh? Oh...Oh!" s**t. So that was it. He couldn't help but let out a laugh. "That's uh, not entirely what I meant." She was already walking away from him to a body. What was worse though? Telling her what he actually said or letting her believe what she'd heard.
What a spot to be in.
Rather than run his mouth he watched the shorter girl go on her tiptoes to move the body aside. The smile on his face returned as he watched her get zapped, though he dared not laugh. Okay just a chuckle and he shook his head. "Here, let me show you how it's done." He moved his neck to pop it and noticed another body, moving to shove it away.
"See it's-" ZAP! Kaethus felt his hair stand on end as he was shocked and he fell back. "...Well the fence is pretty powerful isn't it?" He rubbed at his head, looking back at her with his hair slightly raised from the static in it.
"...Look, what I said was referring to something that happened before all this-" He motioned past the fence. "- s**t happened here. A joke, y'know?" Kaethus really didn't want her pissed at him. That made it weird, or was this making it weird?

Not what he meant? What...what had he meant? Was it some weird slang?
Monica watched suspiciously as he reached up toward the fence himself. He'd laughed at her! Actually, she didn't mind that so much - most of her friends laughed at her. It was because she was funny! Except that it'd come from someone who didn't like women or something. And he was laughing because she'd gotten zapped.
She crossed her arms when he moved to push a different body off the fence. He was tall! He totally had an advantage.
Okay, Monica, you're not five - maybe he has something constructive to say. But the guy - Kaethus - also got zapped. And...Monica had to admit that it was pretty funny to watch his hair halo out around his face from the static. Her hair was already puffy enough that it hadn't made much of a difference. She stifled a giggle. "Yeah," she said reluctantly. "It's kind of a double-edged sword!" It kept things out, but due to the amount of maintenance they had to do...
Well, it could get pretty painful, at times, too. "Is that so?" she asked, when he explained the comment. But what could she say? She didn't believe him? She wasn't that stubborn. Instead she went back to something polite, because she couldn't let him have the upper hand. "I'm Monica," she conceded after a while. "And I guess I'll let you have that one, but you'd better not say something like that again!"
(Monica had no idea what she was talking about.)
Fortunately for her the distinctive zap of another body hitting the fence was clearly audible to their left. "Let's go that way," she said, pretending she was focused on their work. This body was considerably easier to reach, though, especially after she'd had the bright idea to pick up a wooden plank to poke at it with. That way the fence couldn't get her. Ha!
"...what were you doing, before all this?" she asked, a little curious. What was he here for? Did she need to keep Corgi away from him?

He saw the almost giggle and glanced back to her. But he hadn't convinced her it seemed. At least he'd got a smile out of her. And maybe more? "Monica huh?" There it was, a name to go with the face. "Alright alright, no more cracks like that. Promise." Kaethus said with his hands up defensively, watching her walk and following after her.
She seemed determined to continue on, which he liked. Though she seemed far more eager then him as she pushed another body away. "Hey, that went better!" He commented, before blinking at her question.
"Oh, that." A hand moved to his face, scratching at his cheek as he thought about how to say it. "Serving a sentence. Not for anything like, violent. Shoplifting." Maybe it had been a little more than that, but it was mostly the truth. "Didn't make it very far, then I got in here for 6 months." He shrugged and put his hands down into his pockets. What would she think of him now?

"If this had been a couple months ago I'd have made you pinky promise," Monica said. But it felt like the mood was wrong, now. Everything was hard: it wasn't really time for jokes anymore. As much as she appreciated them in general.
"It sure did!" she beamed when she noticed him following her. "Ah - "
She hadn't expected him to just out and answer her. That was honesty that was kind of refreshing. (It went without saying that she believed him: Monica tended to be a little naive, and if it had been her...well, she wouldn't have admitted to shoplifting, anyway.) "I...have to admit I'm in for DUI, myself," she said guiltily. She liked to party, and she'd thought she was good enough at driving that no one would ever notice.
Well. She hadn't really been prepared for random checks. Whoops. "But my little bro was just visiting me," she added, though they hadn't been even discussing him in the first place. "He's not - he's innocent." He was also seventeen, which would've gotten him sent to juvie, not this place. "But...I'm kind of glad I'm here rather than anywhere else." There were a lot of tough people here. Even Greta, the laundry worker, was tough. That meant Cory was safer, right?
"I'm..." Oh! Another body. She reached up to push it away, but she was a little short even with the plank. "...wanna do that one together?" she asked, raising her eyebrows at him. She didn't want to admit her weakness!

"Heh, I could stand to pinky promise." It'd be something different at least, and it amused him. "DUI huh?" He was still following after her on their detail. "Ah, a brother." Kaethus listened intently as she talked about him. "Innocent." He repeated the word and gave her a look. "I see. But if it's a first offense he-oh." Silence came over him and he shook his head. "Guess crimes don't really matter anymore, huh?"
There was a nod to his head. "This place is less of a prison now, but we're still stuck here." Kaethus watched her try another and he smirked her way. "Sure." He moved over and helped with the plank to move it away.
"And the smell of these rotting guys sure doesn't help!" Kaethus laughed again, shaking his head and moved back, looking back to her. "Siblings gotta stick together though. Is he here with you?"

She shot him a halfhearted glare. Anyone who talked bad about Corgi had Monica to answer to! Even though she was not quite the most effective bodyguard. The smallness ran in the family, though, although he'd at least outgrown her at this point. "Yeah, except for - " She paused. "Big things. Don't want undying running around in here." She shuddered. "Whoever...however this got started; they're the ones who committed the real crime!"
She grinned more loosely at him now, though. He was nicer when you really talked to him! And he'd kindly not made a big deal out of her height. "Yeah, he's - " Well. Probably still hanging onto the Boss' every word. She sure hoped he hadn't gotten caught in the big scuffle - she was still reeling a bit from that. "He's around. I'm glad I have someone to stick with, though. How 'bout you?"

Kaethus was curious about her brother hearing her talk about him. "Yeah, don't want them in. Eh?" Now that was also curious. "Got this started..." He trailed off but snapped back to attention, following after her still. "He's?" An eyebrow moved up on his face and he nodded back, stretching his arms behind him with a satisfied groan as he did.
"Hm? Oh." Kaethus grinned back at her. "Have you seen the tall buff guy with an eye patch that could possibly be a twin of The Boss?" Kaethus frowned. "The one who uh, carried me off the other day?" He hated admitting that but you couldn't really say "no" to a guy like that. "That's my older brother Aaron. We kinda came into the slammer around the same time." There was a nostalgic feeling about that. He'd been caught and a few days later Aaron showed up.
"Anyway, we stick together. He's always got my back, even if it means carrying me like a sack of flour." Kaethus paused. "Though it pisses me off, but he already knows that bit." It felt good to talk freely. "How about you and your brother? You get along well?"

"Well," said Monica, wide-eyed. "I mean, I don't think this looks natural. It seems pretty..." Well, like a science experiment gone wrong, she meant.
"Ooh! I remember that!" Monica grinned, eyes alight. "That sounds really nice! I think the sibling bond is super important. After all, we grow up together..." She trailed off. "M' bro's a dropout. He's seventeen but he's working at Subway. My mom nearly disowned him when she found out, and my dad..." Well, the less she said about her dad, the better. "Corgi and I stick together," she finished with a nod. "He's a...he's still a pretty little guy, but he finally grew taller than me last year." Monica was five feet even.
"I'd definitely say we get along well," she nodded. It was clear that discussing their sibling bonds had put Kaethus firmly on Monica's good side, for now, anyway. "Wanna head in and report how we did?"

"Probably." Kaethus muttered. Oh god, she grinned. That meant she remembered, but of course he had been the one to remind her so how could he find fault in that? "I see. But school isn't everything." He suddenly felt a little closer to this brother he hadn't seen at all.
"I know the pain of older siblings. Aaron is 7 inches taller than me." Kaethus blinked and looked at Monica, suddenly trying to envision what they'd look like standing together. The thought brought a smile to his face. "As long as you get along, well, most of the time. There's no 100% I think." He gave another grin and nodded.
"Well uh, we can report that you did most of the work." Only one body had been moved by him after all. What if they thought he was being lazy? "Or something." He tacked on, stretching before he walked back, glancing to her. "I think this might be the first conversation I've had with a woman outside of a bar in a really, really long time." He admitted with an open grin. "Thanks for not thinking I'm too awkward." God it was kinda odd, maybe he was messing it all up.
Nah, you're good at everything. There was that confidence again, maybe a little too much.
"At least there was a bonfire this time!" He called as he headed back inside with her.
