Do you genuinely want me to solve it or is it actually a practical joke? Because the answers I gave you before I thought you were joking should tell you the answer to your question.

From:

forensicks

you were trying to solve it but if you were being forthcoming with your process, there's something you obviously haven't tried...

From:

abrightboy

What's that?

From:

forensicks

:)

From:

abrightboy

[He still feels like he's only being toyed with. It's as familiar a feeling as it is horrible. And here he didn't think anything could put a damper on his good mood.]

Okay. Give me the original clue again, please.

From:

forensicks

[ :') wym you didn't memorize it]

Speak of jail, and you know something is missing. It's me! I belong between those bars. I am very bad for the environment, but you still reach for me every day. What am I?

From:

abrightboy

Is it in the library?

From:

forensicks

No :( I am slightly disappointed but I have to admit that manually searching that place would be very inefficient

From:

abrightboy

I’d suggest in between the liquor bottles in the Lounge. You know: bars. Missing from jail. Bad for the environment. People really do drink every day here. But that’s not a common area open to all inmates.

From:

forensicks

"People" drink alcohol every day here but I wrote the riddle just for "you"! ;)

[oh my god Malcolm might actually get it. this is the first time Walter has had any hope]

The medicine cabinet in the infirmary? Not inside it obviously, since it’s even locked from Wardens, but… it would reference my medication and also tie in with the whole Hilbert thing that I’m pretty sure you’re still mad about.

From:

forensicks

Colder :[ Maybe my punchline really is not that good. I'm not a comedian by trade. Jack of all trades, I guess. But I really will be sad if it goes unappreciated forever. When you get it you'll get it!

From:

abrightboy

So give me a hint. You said I could have one.

From:

forensicks

Then you should do everything the riddle tells you to do. (There's an English language component to the riddle! It's not just linking concepts together!)

From:

abrightboy

What if you just tell me the answer and then I kick myself and laud you for how clever you are?

From:

forensicks

no, you should do what the riddle tells you to do It's a very small ask

From:

abrightboy

Talk about jail?

From:

forensicks

yes

From:

abrightboy

About how you’re between the bars?

From:

forensicks

Malcolm It's a riddle And I'm not saying that in a "boo! Figure it out!" way but There might be a certain way you want to "speak" of jail? If it's a riddle?

From:

abrightboy

Sorry, I'm a little distracted. I really want to know your flood instructions so I can respect your wishes and I normally love a puzzle, but Will graduated today and I'm trying to plan something special for this evening while I do this.

Am I supposed to say it outloud?
