neornithes | DAY CHANGE

[and at 7 am, this time all the tv's in the prison turn on. it seems as though the warden has another show for them all to see! what fun! when the tv turns on, it's just a dark screen yet again. so when she speaks only her voice is heard.]

Hello everyone! How are you all this lovely morning? Let's see here- it's Tuesday, January 7th. The rain is still coming down outside, but it's so cold out! Freezing rain can be worse than snow in some cases, you know. So be very careful! Now then....

[the light turns on! and it reveals three individuals strapped to chairs. john, philip, and shotaro are all in these seats. the doctor comes walking out, many guards are pushing a giant contraption with her as she steps into the light.]

You see everyone... lately you all have been far too... nosy, let's say. I provide for you, I make sure you're all nice and comfortable, and this is how you all keep on repaying me? My my... first Second, then you took him from me, now inside my office?

I was patient at first, then I tolerated it, but now I'm going to set an example.

[the doctor pulls the lever, and the roulette begins.]

(ooc: comment here if your character was in the warden's office! the punishment game is being broadcast out to everyone, so any of the threads by those characters in here will be seen by everyone. go here! and if you want maximum fun, RNG the numbers and see what gets taken away! if you want to choose for yourself, then go ahead. if you want me to choose, then specify that as well.)

They're lucky they didn't just kill them. Those two are in our block, so I guess they're too valuable to kill.

Still...

[ He lowered his head and frowned. He knew Shotaro to some degree and he had seen the younger boy around, but he hadn't seen the other guy before. Not like it mattered if he knew who they were though. It wasn't right no matter what. ]

Still, how can you just sit there and act like this isn't wrong?

Better them than me. Do you think I haven't seen people hurt before?

[ Eiji didn't like that answer all that much. ]

What if it was Hina-chan? Wouldn't you care then?

It doesn't matter.

If that's true, then why did you look at her like she meant something to you before?

You're imagining things.

I'm not. She saw it too.

Your stupidity must be contagious.

Or maybe you just don't want to admit you care about someone.

This is what caring too much about people around you gets you. [Points at the screen.]

So the reason you pretend to not care is because you're afraid to?

I'm not pretending! How many times do I have to tell you that woman is a stranger to me?!

Even if she was before we came here, she's not anymore. You should be grateful that she wants to look out for you!

Why should I be grateful for something I don't want?

Because... [ He looked to the side, a bit unsure of himself. ] I think it's something you used to want.

People change.

[ Eiji didn't think it was possible that Ankh could be so different that he would just forget about his family like that, but it felt wrong to argue about it while people were being hurt. He looked back at the screen when Philip's yelling got louder, and he clenched his fists in frustration. ]

I wish there was something I could do...

[ Even with the power he had there was no way to save them. Was he always going to feel helpless like this? ]

You'd just end up like them. That doesn't do anything for anyone.

That doesn't make it any easier to watch.

...Tche. [This guy was just impossible.]

They did us the favor of fucking up. We have to do better than they did.

[ Eiji felt like Ankh was pretty impossible too. ]

Better how?

A career thief knows a few things about not getting caught.

Um... what are you going to be doing that you need to sneak around for?

Getting out of here, of course. Do you think I want to waste my life in this dump?
