Treize is gone.

How many of you have people from your own universe here?

[Filtered to Slade, Graham and Bourne]

Has anyone made a report about what happened?

[Private to Cooper]

How's Zero?

Comments

Not with people like you around.

Man, you must really like staying here with people like me. I'm flattered.

[resultofwar]

Other people have tried to escape and failed. Any attempt David and you were planning obviously didn't work in the time it took for people to notice Bourne was missing.

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Well, I had fun either way.

There isn't exactly a lot to do here. And if I'm being forcibly held here, sitting around being bored all day isn't gonna cut it. The wardens can leave if they don't want bad things to happen to them. Then we all win.

[resultofwar]

Interesting way to look at it.

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Do you wanna be on this shitboat forever, buddy? Because I sure don't.

I don't see what's wrong with at least trying to get off. And, yeah, enjoying it a bit. Just a bit.

[resultofwar]

The only way you're getting off is graduation or disappearing without warning.

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

And you're okay with that?

[resultofwar]

Yes. [Mostly because he thinks he has nothing to go back home to, so he just doesn't care, but even if he did, he'd definitely want to graduate.]

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Why?

Do you enjoy the aspect of letting someone break you? Or was your home life so shitty that this place is an improvement?

[resultofwar]

Why do you care?

private

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Because you know this redemption stuff is complete bullshit, right? Just making sure.

private

[resultofwar]

What makes you think that?

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

The wardens are here for their own personal gain. They don't actually give a shit about us or our morality - and given that no one here is even from my universe I can guarantee that nothing I did before coming here affected any one of them anyways. If anything, they're here to break us as punishment for what we've done.

And, even if they do care, they're trying to basically force us into whatever framework they've decided is correct. They want to take away our choice. And a man that ceases to make his own choices is hardly a man at all.

[resultofwar]

Interesting.

private

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Interesting that you don't seem to think that David's warden didn't do anything to provoke him. Last I saw, he had a gun to his head. What kind of sicko points guns at kids?

[Well. Slick does, but he just won't mention that.]

private

[resultofwar]

David isn't a kid.

private

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is. He's, what, fifteen? Sixteen? Can't be any older than that.

private

[resultofwar]

Neither am I.

private

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

So, you're a kid, too. Yeah, I know you teenagers are all grown up and mature and shit, but - sorry, you still count as a kid. And mistreated kids might not always act rationally. Doesn't mean you should come in and beat them up.

private

[resultofwar]

Doesn't mean they should kidnap and torture their wardens.

private

[neuroticalson.livejournal.com]

How do you know he didn't deserve it? Just because he's on the arbitrary 'good' side?

private

[resultofwar]

No.

Then what was it, then? Whatever, either way it's probably a bad idea to turn on your fellow inmates.
