[VIDEO]

[When Stan gets on the camera he seems deeply unsettled - but as always (always?) with him it comes out as anger and rage.]

I don't know what the hell kind of flood or-- or breach or whatever this is, but I want each and every one of you inmates to stay the fuck away from me until this whole thing blows over. You hear me? any of you come near me, any of you so much as look at me funny and I'm gonna throw you overboard!

[It's a lot of hot air, and it's pretty obvious, but if he scares at least one or two people away from him then it'll have been worth it. A thought occurs to him though - there's one other nosy person who might get in his face during all of this. The kind of guy who sticks a tracking device up someone's nose when they're not looking.]

Scratch that - make it "each and every inmate AND Stanford Pines".

[And the feed ends.]

[Stan keeps to his word and does his best to stay the hell away from everyone else. The priority is mostly inmates (and Ford) but he doesn't exactly have a ton of confidants to really fall back on, so it means a lot of trying to spend time alone.

At first that means his cabin - a musty old motel room that looks like a place someone would hit rock bottom in - but eventually that starts to feel like an invitation for people to ignore his message and knock on his door.

Now and then he still needs to get food from the dining hall, but he tries to be in and out of there as quick as possible.

The deck is a good bet as well. It feels easier to avoid people up there, and maybe people will take his empty threats of throwing people overboard more seriously if he's actually hanging out in a place where he could do so if he wanted.

Being alone is a mistake though. He doesn't like the dumb feelings this flood has dragged out of him. Stuff he had buried years ago is rising from the grave from the most minor interactions with people, and now it's all he can think about.

You don't have to be afraid of compassion, Stan.

Fuck compassion. He should never have taken this stupid deal in the first place.]
