Chris did say that he's going back to 14 Branchland to "clean it up", while he was talking about the big sacrifice he's going to be forced to make.
Chris says a lot of things, and it's difficult to interpret the facts at the best of times. That said, I suspect you're right that he's talking about retrieving all his toys from 14BLC before being placed somewhere else. Who knows? Lord knows where he would put them all. Storage unit fees could be better spent on some lego.
He's also not begging for money,
He can't be sent cash while in the jail. He can only get donations through things like postal money orders to his jail account that can only be used in the jail commissary. He may have given up on donations from the futility of getting ass-patters to follow the correct procedure. Also, other than ramen etc. what does he have to spend money on right now?
he must know he's still getting his SSDI, or knows it's racking up while he's locked up,
Chris is probably just assuming. If the jail didn't turn off the tugboat through bureaucratic fuckup 30 days after he went in, it was definitely turned off when he went to western state. Getting it turned back on is a huge pain in the ass even outside jail, and something Chris is not capable of doing on his own in any case.
I think Barb's in some managed care situation and not at 14 Branchland.
That's highly probably since the crash. Or she's at Tom and Harriet's. It's extremely unlikely she's alone at 14BLC, or will be placed back there if Chris is somehow allowed back.
What I mean is that Chris is a creature of what is around him currently, to a point.
Chris' life has very near horizons. Currently they lay at his cell walls.
I mean, he hasn't bitched once about not being able to get his fast food. That's pretty incredible.
Chris is hardly a gourmet. The jail is keeping his belly full, and, better yet, he doesn't have to cook his food himself. That has to be his main attraction to fast food: instant gratification for zero effort. Beyond sugary and salty and full of fat, I doubt he notices the taste of anything he eats.
He would be smugger than we’ve ever seen him before. New heights of insufferable.
And the best part is: it wouldn't last.
If she’s with it enough to tell them to go to hell, what then?
If Barb insists on moving back to 14BLC to live with Chris again, well then she deserves whatever is coming
in to her.
That said, if she does insist on living with Chris again, well I can't think of a more obvious sign of senile dementia.
I’ve come around to wondering if it was consensual
Chris is creepy. Barb is also creepy. Just how creepy is an icky speculation.
He seems to have dealt with a year sans lego and happy meals quite well.
It's not like he's had a choice. He did sperg out about his toys at the first hearing. He may have been told something about them since that shut him up. Also, with Chris things are very much "out of sight, out of mind".
But it’s a bonus if he has to clean something and eat his vegetables.
No fear. Chris would HATE living on a tard farm, even though it's the best place for him.
The difference would be your landlord doesn't tell you you're paying "mortgage" because you'll inherit the house when he dies.
That's irrelevant. What matters is that Chris was allowed to live there by the property owner in exchange for payment.
Chris wasn't renting, he was paying half the mortgage.
Most people's rent goes to pay their landlord's mortgage. And property taxes. And upkeep. And so on. That doesn't grant the renters a stake in the property.
Chris' name is not on the title. That makes him a renter, even without a lease, both de facto and de jure.
They KNOW Chris gets a tugboat and will get it again if the release him on misdemeanor charges. Can they put him on some kinda instalment plan where he has to pay a certain amount each month?
They can try, but SSDI is essentially untouchable. So long as it's Chris' sole source of income, they can't force him to pay from it.
Chris is judgement proof.
