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. :)

The person pulls out the flask to open it - and tips their head back to drink, careful to keep their hood up. Then, they speak, once their thirst has quenched:

"Right now? You can help people get by. We're here in this part of the city, and no one can bother us, but a residence isn't all we need here. Lots of people here need help to get by.

Everyone helps everyone, of course - but we always need more hands. So. . . if that's something you wanna do, you can do that."

There's a pause, and they give a helpless sort of shrug.

"Hey, you went through the process just as we all did. It's a choice to go to war. Either that, or be dumped in here as an invalid - sure, it's not a hard choice, but it's still a choice. It's better than it was twenty years ago."

You've done a lot for us already. So if there's something we can do in return in the time that we're here, that's only the honorable thing to do.

[ she kind of likes the idea of being able to help these people? but. she also hasn't forgotten that uh. they have some BAD PEOPLE to deal with. but... they have to wait ANYWAY. ]

...

If we head off to the front lines like we originally planned--we might be able to raise an insurrection, but ... then we won't be able to do anything about the ring trafficking the Plague Bringers. More importantly, the others won't know we're fine; if they follow us to the border, then there's a high risk that Joy could be injured or killed in the fighting. If we're going to make that attempt--then at the very least, we should all go together, without anyone having to worry about us being separated.

Helping the people here and now is the least we could do - but I think we're in a unique position to do more than that. Small charity might relieve their suffering today, but it won't help them tomorrow, or the next day.

[ He frowns, returning Hiryuu's glance... and then nods. ]

If we do this, [ and he's 100% READY FOR A COUP RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT ] it should be all of us. We need to find them.

[ LISTEN, HIRYUU WOULD LOVE A COUP. HOWEVER!!! it's sounding like this is a much larger problem than even just a coup will be able to handle if the common folk also feel this way. ]

We'll find a way to do both. Short term solutions for now, long term once we can meet with everyone.
