TLV - Graduations & Demotions
Inmate graduation is a vital aspect of the game, and occasionally, warden demotion crops up in play as well. If you're planning to graduate your inmate or demote your warden in the near future, please fill out this short form!
Graduations and demotions are character decisions made at player discretion, but in the rare situation that we find ourselves concerned that a graduation or demotion is premise-breaking, the player will be contacted privately. Once we've read through a comment and confirmed that it doesn't contain anything premise-breaking, we'll reply with a confirmation.
Once a graduation comment has been confirmed, the warden of the graduating inmate should reply to their inmate's comment either confirming that their character will be fulfilling the deal laid out in their application, or - in situations where they changed their mind about their deal during their time in-game - receive a verdict about whether the new deal idea is doable.
GRADUATION
DEMOTION
A bit forward - dated but making it official -
Character Name: Betelgeuse
Reason for Demotion:
As of these three posts, Betegeuse graduated. He had finally overcome his selfish tendencies and apologized to the people he loved the most, and when he was turned human he got the tip-over of empathy that he needed to realize that he did everything terrible and wanted to make it up to people.
Unnnnnfortunately also being human meant that he was hit with the sudden guilt / shame / fear that human chemicals in the brain will do to you. And, newly graduated, he fled the ship. Because that's a reasonable reaction to all the murdering and torturing you did as a demon, right?
He's going to make it two weeks and then come crawling back to the Admiral. Because BJ's spent his entire life as a ghost zombie demon (what) and humanity is really really hard to deal with. What is a social security number? How does one acquire food and shelter? Why is he being arrested for stealing?
So he's going to realize maybe he ran off too soon and should have stuck around to understand more about the world before joining the rank human race. Thing is, he also wants to be an inmate. Hange needs a second deal and Betelgeuse doesn't think he's mentally stable enough right now to handle an inmate. So his 'warden deal' is probably going to be "can I just come and be an inmate again? I might have graduated from being a selfish demon monster but being human comes with its own terrifying challenges and I'm not cracked up for it."
If the Admiral says yes, job well done, he's sneaking back home on July 30th to get repaired before Hange has a chance to be rid of him.
If the Admiral says no, you're not dead, you moron, and there are plenty of inmates here in need of help, here's where his plan goes into place. BJ doesn't want to kill himself but he does need to get back on the ship. So he'll probably reluctantly come back to warden, and then hunt down an inmate to kill.
It's not something he's going to take pleasure in doing like he might have back in Inmate 1.0 days so it's not a ricochet; he's actually going to be pretty bummed out about it because he'll be killing a friend, Steve. Rather it's something he feels backed into a corner about and has to do in order to 1. help figure out human life now and 2. help Hange get her deal put together.
And if that's not enough for the Admiral to demote him (because he's going to ASK STEVE and Steve is going to say YES, what the hell), he may have to reluctantly warden while trying to fix his own shit.
Thanks! Sorry this was a mess.
