CAPTIVE GAME: LiliS & Eichi

[idolpro]

[ You're in a room with no doors or windows, about the size of a living room. Depending on how many of you are around, it might feel a little cramped. The walls and ceiling are draped with fabrics, the floor covered in colorful rugs and piles of sitting cushions, but you can see the dirt ground and untreated wood walls peeking through in places. There are three or so oil lamps to light the space, each placed on a stump-like round little table that isn't big enough to hold much else. It's kind of cozy, but...

Most of the cushions are embroidered with an array of colors, but there's one pillow in particular, set aside from the rest, that's one solid color – Iris's position color. ]

...

[ staring at him, closely. At his mouth. ]

I see. You're not a person after all...

[syckophant]

[HUFFS, certain that he is only conscious because the axe is still in him.]

Just because I'm not 'human' anymore doesn't mean I'm not a 'person'.

[vitainmorte]

[ slowly shakes her head, and pushes herself up off of him, still clutching the gun ]

A person shouldn't-- wouldn't... do something like that. At least, I don't think so.

...

They shouldn't.

[syckophant]

That's just naive, don't be stupid. A 'person' wouldn't attempt to defend themself? I shot that boy in the shoulder, and I've lost my wing, and you... you say I'm not a person.

[The... tears start anew as he grits his teeth and tries to turn his head so she DOESN'T SEE.]

Next time you are captive, sit there and take whatever your captors want to give you, then! Prove your humanity!

[vitainmorte]

Defending yourself from-- onions?

[syckophant]

It isn't like you all confided in me what your goals or plans were. What would you assume as a hostage to people you don't know?

[vitainmorte]

... you don't know them? There isn't that many people in this city...

[ a pause ]

I don't think I would shoot someone who posed no threat to me.
