The problem with kids today is none of you know how to make a halfway decent shank.

[Eda's in rarely in technical violation of any rule. Give her a system, and she will find ways to skirt it. This one, she's already determines, stinks of blind obedience, but that's not what rotting at the core. No, it's worse. This is a system that actually follows its rules. And those rules? Are stupid. There's not one against just making people uncomfortable, for one fun example.]

In my day we'd be battling our way out of detention with improvised sharp objects before any but the weakest among us succumbed to torture.

[Torture here meaning "homework."]

I bet none of you have stolen any teeth to speak of. Look, things just aren't given to you in this life. You have to reach out. Keep reaching. Grow out your elbows to unprecedented lengths. Lick them, just to prove you can. All elbows taste like licorice, by the way, not many people know that.

[Know what else isn't against the rules? Making food as weird as witchily possible. Hiding weird graffiti during custodial shifts. Well. That probably is, but you have to catch her, first. Organizing booking operations in the yard over checkers games and how long your edits can last in the reading material before someone notices is definitely against the rules. Whatcha gonna do?]

Perish the thought, Eda. One of you is enough headaches for all of the Advocates here.

[Sometimes, it's just like talking to Lin Chen, he reflects, and sighs.]

It's something, all right.
