The Capital

[idolpro]

For one reason or another, you - yes, you - were caught to be taken to the Capital. Whether it is due to going to ultrajail or whether it is due to being a Plague Bearer, here you are.

Please contain yourselves to the specific headers provided to you; if you are provided a header that was linked to another unit, make no mistake! You guys are together now. :)

[ she's going to press the button for the speaker. it's enough like a phone she can sort of figure it out?? ]

Hello? Is there someone there?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ While they're awaiting a response from the guard...

He's been pacing the perimeter of the cell as well, trying to put together a puzzle they only have a few corner pieces for. ]

This level of technology seems strange compared to what we've seen here already...

[dragonheartedgirl]

That's the Producers, for you. Although, I suppose--it makes sense, for the capital, where the palace is, to be outfitted with more conveniences and advances than less important areas. This is, after all, where the King and his family reside.

What do you make of the option we've been left with?

[ death doesn't count. we're not dying here. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ you're goddamn right ]

Far from ideal. We'll be at their mercy for an unknown length of time, and there's no telling what that will entail.

[ He doesn't sound frightened by the prospect, simply - grim. ]

However... it will also give us unprecedented access to the other victims.

[ It sounds like they're MORE OR LESS on the same mental page, which. yes. good. the less they have to openly speak about things--the better. Their captors could find some way to try to keep them apart from each other and/or the other conscripted fighters, but but it would make their ability to work less effective. ] It might also give us an opportunity to see what, or whom, the nobles have been using their so-called "Plague Bearers" to fight against. [ possible allies? hard to say yet ] At any rate, we have more chances out there than in here. [ of... escape, allies, mutiny--whatever ends up being the best route. ] What do you think the odds we're under surveillance right now? [ CAN THEY ACTUALLY HEAR US, ARE THERE CAMERAS. lookin... around... ]

[puzzlekeeper]

Almost certain, assuming they're not fools.

But considering they've cuffed, trapped, and de-powered us, it's possible they're too arrogant to think it's worth their time. After all, they don't see people "like us" as people at all.

[ But they should probably... err on the side of caution, regardless. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She just nods her head. That's going to make things a lot more complicated for concentrated efforts, but--honestly, that makes going out to the military an even more attractive possibility? even if there might be potential eyes and ears on them out there, there will be considerably more chaos, more opportunities to interact--and they won't be stuck underneath the laser focus of a camera inside a tiny box of a room. ]

Then we take what's been offered to us.

[ And find a way to make use of the rope they mean to hang us with. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

Agreed.

[ And best of luck to these dumb tyrannical sons of bitches. ]

[ DOWN WITH THE NOBILITY!! ]
