Felix Beansquad: Ah, Warden Caruthers, hello. Nice to meet you.
Warden Caruthers: Hello, thanks for coming to speak to the inmates today. What topics will you be covering?
Felix Beansquad: Well I just wanted to go over our foundation's core values and convictions. How do I get to the auditorium?
Warden Caruthers: Oh, riot this way. We have the chairs set up in rows already but feel free to re-arraign them however you like. Is there anyone else from your foundation coming by the way?
Felix Beansquad: Oh, no it's justice.
Warden Caruthers: Great. Ok, here come the inmates. Listen up everyone. Sit quietly and stay in your seats for the duration of this event or you will be penal-ized. It will last for about an hour with a short jail-break in the middle- about 5 to 10...minutes.
Felix Beansquad: Also, we'll have some refreshments set up in the back of the room with oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodles. Be sure to trial three. Let's get started.
Inmates immediately attack Felix and Warden Caruthers, tearing them limb from limb. After order is restored and the prisoners are returned to their cells a special review board meets to try to understand what could have prompted the carnage. Once the board examines the security camera footage, particularly the conversation between Felix Beansquad and Warden Caruthers prior to the uprising, they find Beansquad and Caruthers both guilty of inciting a riot and crimes against humanity and posthumously sentence them to 100 consecutive life sentences each. Although this is highly unorthodox and in no way legally recognized, no one objects. All the inmates are then granted pardons.
Just painful to read. Glad I hapunned upon it.
