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.

it's true. guards don't give a shit even in the best of prisons.

if you're going to use the comms use them wisely, because they're a good communication tool and less obvious than congregating in person, so we don't want to lose them.

safety is paramount. don't be a hero. have each other's backs, obviously, although that hopefully won't be hard.

spoken like someone who's never broken out of a prison before

How many prisons you've broken out of, wile?

Try to be a hero? Do people really do that?

I've never been. Um, in prison I mean. But ALASTAIR must know, right? Or, they'll find out. I still have my staff, since it wasn't activated when they brought us here but they took my cards away.

I just hope we all stay safe in the meantime, while we figure this out.
While ALASTAIR figure this. At least we still all have our comms, right?

You're right, it is definitely a much better idea to sit around like sheep waiting to be slaughtered and hope someone saves us. Good thinking.

I hope people listen to you. I worry about someone who might try to be a hero.

[sheriffing]

Your plan is for us to stay in here until someone saves us?

That never works.

[hedonistic]

if we're not careful, they could start separating us into entirely different cellblocks, too, and then we'd have no way to stay in contact at all

[hedonistic]

haha cute
but unless you've got magic space jail under your belt i think we're a different flavor of screwed

[hedonistic]

[Seriously? Seriously?]

none, because i'm not an idiot

[hedonistic]

have you SEEN this team?

[He's already got people arguing with him about it.]

[hedonistic]

i'm guessing lloyd will figure it out once we don't report back in from this mission, but it's kind of a tossup on whether they'll send backup or not

i mean, we're all space refugees they fished out from the cracks in the multiverse, it's not like we're exactly invaluable to their cause
it might just not be worth their while to save us

[He doesn't mean to sound harsh; he honestly likes Sakura a lot. But there's no point sugarcoating the situation, he thinks. It'll only make survival here more difficult.]

[ofobedience]

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]

man, you people are all so goddamn arrogant
sometimes it really is a choice between getting your ass killed immediately and someday in the undefined future
sometimes there isn't a third fucking option!

[He's starting to wonder why he even bothered trying, honestly. Why should he care if anyone else gets themselves killed? He should just let the idiots do whatever they want.

...and yet, he finds himself too angry to stop.]

have you even bothered looking outside? we're in outer fucking space

there's LITERALLY nowhere to go, even if we could get out
to get out of this mess on our own we would have to TAKE OVER THE SHIP and if you think somehow WE'RE special enough to make that happen when there's 25 other cellblocks full of prisoners who've been here much longer, then i don't know what the fuck to tell you

[hedonistic]

well, it looks like you're going to find out soon enough!!!!!

[fateality]

Huh. I'm a little disappointed.

[hedonistic]

my plan is not to be stupid!!!

but you know what, nevermind! NEVER FUCKING MIND, I OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW MY ADVICE
i mean, sure, i spent 15 years in a facility where i could be gassed to death at any fucking time but hey, what the fuck do i know, right?

[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

[keystaff]

I'm sure they won't take long to realize we are missing. But surely, with this many of us, they'd want to help. To free us. But I suppose, without being too dangerous, there's not much yet at the moment we can do from here.

They even took my cards.

[hedonistic]

why would they?
we're a liability
we almost got oska wrecked
we spend 90% of our time bickering about morality
we're easily replaceable
there's so many of us that trying to rescue us all is more risk than actual reward

[hedonistic]

what, because i've never gone all rambo on a prison before, or because i don't actually want to die a stupid pointless death trying?

[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?]

action ( bc cellmates!! ).

[trueborn]

[ -- you bet he can hear the noises that kagari is making, especially after checking the network for any news from the other audentes members and seeing

this??? ] It's going to be okay.

[ he might be misinterpreting those sounds..... oh well! ]

I won't let anything bad happen to you. We'll find a way out of this.

[littlestguano]

You're right, my apologies. I don't know why I didn't realize that the only two options here were going out in a blazing glory or keeping our heads down and behaving like good prisoners. It's almost like I thought there were more subtle ways of choosing not to live the rest of my life in prison.

Thank you for your eye opening insight.
