ok listen up, this is actually legitimately important

if this is your first time getting locked up like this, you need to understand one main thing going forward: our lives are less than worthless to these people. every second we're still breathing is a second more than they needed to give us.

i can't promise that we're going to be okay. i don't know if ALASTAIR gives enough of a shit to come for us. but even though i'm not gonna be the guy who has a lot of pretty words to say to keep hope alive or whatever, i do know a few things about staying safe in here. surviving, if this is for the long haul

1) don't make a fuss or be a nuisance to the guards. don't draw attention. the more forgettable you are, the better off you'll be

2) try to avoid using your jewel comms as much as you can. if they realize we're communicating through these, they'll be confiscated

3) DON'T TRY TO BE A HERO. this is the most important point here so i'm gonna repeat it, DO NOT TRY TO BE A FUCKING HERO.

we're not in a fucking action movie, trying to escape or break everyone out will get you in deep ass shit, maybe even made an example out of. don't fucking do it.

So you're suggesting we sit in our hands and behave ourselves and hope ALASTAIR finds us useful enough to come for us? Honestly, I'm a little surprised.

[Not that he necessarily disagrees. Despite his propensity for violence, he's never tried to escape his own captivity. Why start now?]

[hedonistic]

yeah. i'm a tricksy motherfucker like that

[He's so Done with this already tbh, he regrets ever bothering to post it.]

throw your life away being stupid or don't,
i couldn't give less of a fuck anymore

[ofobedience]

My, aren't you cheery. Is the gravity of our situation weighing on you? It doesn't seem that bad.

[I mean he doesn't know what will happen to them after they're sentenced, but this situation-- he's definitely has worse. they're being fed. no-one has attempted to torture them. things are going well, right?]

[hedonistic]

not yet

[He's been through worse, too. And he knows the road to worse isn't very long at all. Especially if people don't listen.]

[ofobedience]

What fun.

[Perhaps his wryness isn't something that translates over text, it really remains to be seen. And the truth of it is, Giovanni is naturally inclined towards quiescence, for the most part. He has little intention of misbehaving.

I mean, until the riot happens and he gets swept along in all the violent fun, but he's unaware that it's yet to come.]

[hedonistic]

yeah, it'll be a regular party

[Kagari doesn't find it particularly funny, either way.]

[ofobedience]

Perhaps it would liven things up. It's terribly dull around here.

[...although after six days in solitary confinement, he might change his tune a little...]

[hedonistic]

okay this isn't normally my style and all
but i will admit
i am ok with dull in this one particular situation

[He lived 'dull' for the large majority of his life, until he got to become an Enforcer. Dull sucks, but he'd rather things be dull than for excitement to come in the form of their situation getting worse.]/small>

[ofobedience]

You do have a point. And yet, I wouldn't mind seeing just a little bit of action.

[hedonistic]

idk
the only action i'm into seeing around here is ALASTAIR showing up with reinforcements
but i'm not gonna hold my breath on that one

[ofobedience]

No, best not to, I'd say. Ha ha. But despite your advice, I think it's inevitable that a break out will be orchestrated sooner or later, if they fail to show.

[hedonistic]

pretty much
whether they're going to survive the attempt is a lot murkier, though

[And believe it or not, he doesn't actually want his teammates to die.]

[ofobedience]

It does appear to be quite the challenge, yes.

[No weapons, even their particular skills seem to have little effect-- it's not the bleakest situation he's ever been in, but certainly not the brightest, either]

[hedonistic]

hmph
i'm as competitive as the next guy, but some challenges should just be left alone

[ofobedience]

And yet that's unlikely to happen. Ha ha.

[hedonistic]

lucky us

[ofobedience]

Lucky us, indeed.
