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.

But you've tried! I'm not sure how we would help if some might get more restless and out of hand here though. Since you said, not everyone might actually listen. Or they might at first, but. We can't be sure how long.

[hedonistic]

yeah
good job, kagari, You Tried
i'll go ahead find myself a gold star to put on my cell door

[That's about as far as trying has apparently gotten him, anyway]

[keystaff]

If they don't listen, that's not your fault though! You did try!

I mean, you can't control what other people do, right?

[hedonistic]

would that make them any less dead, in the end?

[keystaff]

No....I guess it wouldn't.

[Regardless of intentions. The best intentions couldn't bring someone back, could it? Not as far as Sakura knew. Beyond some science or magic she has no clue on. Beyond the likes of Clow and his reincarnations, and she still isn't sure how that happened.]

[hedonistic]

[He sighs. Because it's Sakura, and because there's no reason to be needlessly cruel to a kid, much as he doesn't believe in sugarcoating, he offers:]

but maybe there'll be less of them than there would've been otherwise i guess

[keystaff]

You don't think they might actually...get that violent with us?

I'll be careful, or I'll try, at least. You will too, right?

[hedonistic]

of course they would
if we're more trouble than we're worth, definitely
and what we're worth isn't looking too hot at this point, either

don't worry about me, though, sakura-chan
the only kind of heroes i'm up for playing are the rpg kind

[keystaff]

Video games, you mean? I guess. I just hope nobody gets too hurt, while we figure this out. I'm sure since there's enough of us, we can try keep an eye out for each other.

[hedonistic]

[He doesn't really think there's much to figure out at this point, but he decides to let it go. She probably wouldn't do anything too stupid, and he doesn't have the energy at this point to argue.]

yeah, maybe
this team does love its whole power of friendship thing, i guess

[keystaff]

Friendship is important! Working together and supporting each other, I'm sure we'll get through this.
The same way we have all the other missions together.

[hedonistic]

mm, we'll see
in the meantime, take care

[keystaff]

I will. You too, Kagari-san.
