I keep thinking... and it's kind of dull but... what do you think would happen if all the kids that went to PV that are still alive/not in jail/ not full blown addicts, went to the village A La Children of the corn and helped the kids currantly in the program and STU revolt? That would be over 21 years of pent of anger and revenge dished out. Imagine... Making the counselors sit on he beds and have to plead to get up, making them crosscut 6 logs on one hour, making them trug through the immense Tennessee Heat being forced to carry heavy objects. I think it's a beautiful fantasy.
That's a premium idea. The returning un-jailed/un-dead/un-junkied alumni could arrange a group therapy for staff to establish what addictions the counselors have.
"I'm not addicted to anything, I
swear," mewls a staffer.
"
GET REAL! You're addicted to putting kids in restraints and giving one spike of Klonopine to a kid, one spike to yourself! Time to get honest! And Roberts! Gimme the truth! You were never in the military! You were kicked out of the Boy Scouts!"
Change the names of the levels:
pre-maggot,
maggot,
shithouse rat,
jackyl,
vulture, and the creme de le creme of the new PV, the
purple-assed baboon clan.
Start some new games for amusement: the PV Rodeo, where kids are timed on how quickly they can hogtie a clinician. The PV pinata whack-a-thon, consisting of a staffer hung by his feet from a tree with a straitjacket on, while a blindfolded patient swings an aluminum bat at this squealing target. If you hit the pinata hard enough you won't get candy, but I guarantee the PV pinata pig will purge his bowels. Last, the ever-popular "ropes course" with a new twist - the ropes are noosed around certain vicious staffers' necks in order to test their "cooperation skills". At least, that's the stated
goal, but when you're tied-up in a straitjacket and hanging by your neck, you can't even save your own ass..
Force staff to clean the porta-toilets with soup spoons...allow the staff to call home, but the second they say they're being abused, slam the receiver down.
Finally, hold a graduation ceremony, and instead of dropping balloons on the grads at the end, dump the contents of the E.Coli-laden porta-shitters on the heavily-sedated and drooling graduates.
Damn DYS, that's a fine fantasy. Of course, before people get all worked-up, it's only fiction, and read the small print, programees.
