"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.

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?

From:

forensicks

YES ok, "yes" can also be a "yeah!" reaction to Will graduating Hooray!!!

[Walter's timing. Christ.]

From:

abrightboy

Does it have anything to do with it sounding like there's a letter e in it but there's not?

From:

forensicks

I'mmmmm not sure exactly what you mean so I won't say But you're getting there! This is real riddle progress!

From:

abrightboy

Are the 'bars' letter l's?

From:

forensicks

no you can do it!

From:

abrightboy

Are the bars the kind with liquor?

From:

forensicks

no. Maybe zoom out on the bar thing

From:

abrightboy

Are the bars the whole Barge because it’s a jail?

From:

forensicks

that would be a bit hard to find as a single location now wouldn't it You need to think about what is missing from "jail" when you say it out loud. Something you wouldn't think about from just seeing it written down. That's also why it's being called jail instead of prison like usual! If you get that part, you will get your credit for solving the riddle. Though you were pretty close to getting it from another angle
