The third day of Lloyd’s unwitting prison life.

Lloyd awoke in his cell, and with nothing better to do, made his bed and started doing stretches.

The iron ball and chain were making a racket, and he gave them a puzzled frown.

“Hmm, does this accessory really help with fatigue? It seems like it would just chip the floor, and make work harder. I wonder if it’s meant to do something else?”

It never occurred to him it might be a shackle. The fact that he felt it interfered with his movements at all suggested it was technically serving its purpose, but it’s unlikely the world’s shackle manufacturers would agree.

“Is it something like a really cold body pillow? But then why is it on my foot? Oh! Maybe it’s like a friendship bracelet thing? If the chain breaks, my wish is granted? Darn, I shouldn’t have taken it off yesterday.”

That would be a particularly spiteful friendship bracelet. The wish would never come true!

But as Lloyd pondered this, the door opened, and Astax came in.

“Lloyd Belladonna.”

“Oh, yes! Good morning!”

Lloyd was very big on greetings. Guards weren’t used to polite prisoners, but Astax soon got to the point.

“You’re out. Back to Block A.”

He’d only just been moved here, so this came as a surprise to Lloyd.

“Huh? But I just got here? Was this like…a trial session?”

Conflating solitary with VIP treatment, Lloyd could only conclude as much.

Astax seemed unsure what he meant by that, but elected not to get sidetracked.

“Seems there was a mistake on our end.”

“Oh, yeah?”

That made sense, so Lloyd followed him out of the cell.

On the way, he asked, “Um, the warden said this was a tailored program, but what was tailored about it?”

“Best you don’t know.”

Convinced Urgd had sent Lloyd to solitary to have his way with him, Astax evaded specifics.

Thus, Lloyd was sent back to Block A, with those convicted of comparatively minor crimes. The rest of the inmates were shocked to see him again.

“L-Lloyd!”

“Back from solitary already?”

“What magic did you use?”

“That’s amazing!”

People were already showing him respect. His rapid return, none the worse for wear, convinced everyone they were seeing a legend in the flesh.

Minoxi looked especially relieved.

“L-Lloyd! Was everything okay?”

“Oh, yes. Seems it was just a clerical error… Didn’t really get to enjoy the VIP package much.”

Lloyd’s term for solitary just impressed everyone. “Attaboy, Lloyd!” someone said, to thunderous applause.

“You didn’t ‘enjoy’ it? That sure is something.”

Lloyd was unsure what impressed them, or why they were clapping, but he went ahead and raised a hand, acknowledging it, like a little prince before the admiring crowds.

Seeing Lloyd’s confused look, Minoxi moved to settle things down.

“Okay, everyone, Lloyd’s looking lost—best we leave it at that.”

“What are you, his manservant?”

“Well, I was a local lord’s secretary, so not far off the mark. But that’s irrelevant! We’ve got to head to the mess hall before they start yelling at us.”

“Oh, right! Let’s get moving!”

With Lloyd at the center, the throng filed toward the cafeteria. Looking like the director of a major hospital making the rounds, Lloyd was clearly at the pinnacle of the prison population.
