letting the days go by, into silent water [open]
CHARACTERS: Murphy Pendleton and you.
LOCATION: Anywhere. This is pretty much a free-for-all of CR.
WARNINGS: Insert the usual Silent Hill disclaimer here.
SUMMARY: Insomnia hits. Friendly neighborhood convict takes a little stroll.
He couldn't sleep.
Granted, this was nothing new and exciting. If nothing else, it was fucking tedious. His brief spell of excessive sleeping habits died real fast after the jump wired Murphy up all over again.
It wasn't always this bad. In fact, he used to sleep a fair bit. There wasn't much else to do during his alone time in prison, so it had been the only resort next to going stir-crazy with boredom.
Even with Anne in the same room these days, Murphy still felt the nagging urge to escape the closing walls of hiscell bedroom. Unlike Ryall, he could at least work off his restlessness by stretching his legs. There were still places that he hadn't yet seen, grounds that he hadn't yet covered. He could scratch this itch. He could.
So he just wandered for awhile. Aimlessly, as usual. He almost felt dazed. But it was good to be out. Not free, not safe, though close enough to settle on the fact that his present situation proved to be more favorable than where he had been coming from, in ways.
That was just sad.
Murphy, this is your life right now. Take a good long look at it.

The idea of someone being deprived of entertainment was appalling. However, it definitely explained a lot about Cibo, didn't it? Murphy seriously wouldn't have otherwise pegged her for being your average movie-goer at the theater, even then... Everyone was supposed to have their likes and dislikes.
"Erm, well... While you're here, soap's probably somethin' you should get used to." He gave her a look. Personal hygiene didn't seem like a high priority given the circumstances, though something about a woman like this not knowing what soap was struck Murphy was a little disconcerting. "Anyway, it's got nothin' to do with soap. They're just... dramas that revolve around people's lives."
He leaned over slightly when he saw the media center pop up on Cibo's device. It took Murphy long enough to figure it out (technology was never his forte), but when he did...
"Ah, there." He pointed at one of the titles on the screen suddenly. "That one's kinda tolerable, and that's... putting it loosely."
