Prisoner 605, Murderbeam, was feared in the outside world, but he was finding the inhabitants of the Birdcage were not so impressed with him.
Well, that’s a pretty straightforward name. If this guy’s not a Blaster, I don’t know who is.
He would likely not survive the week. She was disappointed. She had hoped Prisoner 550 would reach out to Murderbeam and give the fellow block resident some support.
Welp.
Either Murderbeam had been too proud to accept it, or social pressures had deterred Prisoner 550. Now that he was within the Birdcage, she was limited in her options.
Yeah, I guess there’s not much she can do.
Prisoners 604 and 603, Knot, were happily gorging themselves on food in Cell Block Y.
Wait, are they both collectively named Knot, like may have been the case with Zigzag? Are they perhaps… Siamese twins connected by a hand, with the ability to turn their merged arms into a rope? Nahh, probably not.
Despite their cognitive impairment, they had fallen into a role as enforcer and heavy hitter for Prisoner 390, leader of their cell block. Prisoner 390 had had a son – she could only hope that he would find some similar affection for Knot, with their childlike mentality.
I see. Definitely sounds like Knot are connected in some way.
Prisoner 602, Lizard Prince, was dead. Not everyone could survive the Birdcage, sadly.

I like the name.
There had been no ideal place to put the boy, where he would be protected, find kindred souls or join a group. She had contacted the PRT with the news, and his victims had been notified, but nothing further had come out of it.
I guess that’s just how it goes sometimes.
In an indirect way, putting the boy in the Birdcage had been an execution writ.
I mean… when isn’t it, really? Like, maybe some of them can get satisfying lives in there, but they’re never getting out (unless that mass break I’ve been shakily predicting ever since I first heard of the place happens). How is a life sentence in a place like this truly different from a death sentence?
